A group of students was looking at a poster which show the list of students who passed the exam with their ranks and marks.Two of the students cried at same time,"Arthur again you are at the top."

Arthur was sitting on bench with a calm look.He said,"what's new in that."Arthur have just passed the All Merchs Examination held by Gells Merchant school.In this school students are taught everything about trade.And the students who passes The All Merchs Examination can become a very successful merchant.

Arthur was happy with his graduation now his half dream of becoming a successful merchant was completed.After receiving the graduation certificate he was returning to Dazzletown his hometown.As soon as he reached there he saw that the village was completely silent,there were no people roaming on the street and even the marketplace was empty.After sawing this he thought something was wrong

Gathering his courage Arthur went to his house.As he was going to open the door he heard a familiar voice,"Hey bro, how are you?"

said Reginold.Reginold was a weapon nerd who loves to make different weapons and use them even now he went training on the nearby Ibex mountain to try his new weapon it was a stick with its both ends shaped like upper portion of a maceArthur was happy to see his brother after a long time.

Reginold said,"Why you are waiting outside just enter home."saying this Reginold opened the door of the house and what they both saw there was terrifying.There mother father have turned totally black and blood was spilling from different parts of the body they were acting like zombies.Surprised and sad they both cautiously moved inside the house suddenly the zombies started to attack them their mother went to attack Arthur but somehow Arthur caught her arms and a hit from Reginold's weapon on her head knock her they done same with the father.They both were not happy to hurt their parents but they have no other choice

For safety they tied mother father with ropes.Reginold brought a bottle holy water from nearby table and sprinkled some drops on them but there was no effect.To know the condition of other houses they both look inside the neighbourhood houses and they found that there was no one there.Arthur said with a sad tone,"Reginold,why does the village welcomed my return like this?"."We do not have any answer now but we have to find it soon,I hope that we will be able to save our parents." said Reginold

Arthur and Reginold were unable to find any people in any of the houses now only one house was remaining.That was the house of village elder which was located on a small hilltop.They hoped that atleast they would find village elder at his house

They climbed the hill and as they enter the house they saw.....

As Arthur and Reginold entered the house of village elder they saw that the elder was sitting on the floor freezed his eyes were showing fear and terror and he was unconscious.They run to the elder immediately and Reginold poured some drops of holy water on him.The elder regained is consciousness due to it.They asked the elder about what happened here but the elder was unable to recall anything he said,"Thank you boys for helping me but I can recall only one thing that man I can't even see his face but his wicked smile is still visible in front of my eyes.you boys can't imagine the terror of that man which he created by his mere presence.

"so,you are saying that you can only remember the presence of a very powerful and demonic being." said Arthur.Arthur asked him,"our parents transformed into zombies is there any way to cure them?please tell me I am even ready to sacrifice my life to save them.Reginold said crying,"Hey old geezer tell us the way to save them or i will kill you."

There is a way or I should say a possibility to save them 'The magnus ring.'Arthur asked," What's Magnus ring and how it would be able to save our parents?""ok I will tell you everything I know about the Magnus ring.", said the elder.My son Marcus used to serve in our kings army king gave him this magnus ring for his outstanding performance in war unfortunately he died 2 years ago in a war and king given his ring to me since that day I am looking for the right person to pass this ring.The magnus ring gives you a special ability known as ire,magnus ring includes a metallic ring and a ire crystals like diamond,ruby,sapphire,etc.Ire crystals contain magic particals called as magicals.When ire is used magicals are released outside the ire crystal.Arthur asked,"so you are saying that magicals fuels ire but what happens when all the magicals are released out of the ire crystal."The elder answered then you are unable to use ire.Magicals which are released in environment after some time settle down and mix with soil or forms magnus crystal.The ire crystal can absorb magicals from this magnus crystal in this way you can replenish magicals.The elder said,"I know in your mind a question is there that can't any other crystals absorb ire."Arthur nodded in a positive way.The elder said,"My boy all the crystals in the world except the magnus crystal absorb magicals their absorbance abilities depend upon their shape,size and other properties.Arhur asked,"so why can't we use ire with the help of magicals from other crystals?"The elder answer,"There is no right answer to this question but it is said that some changes occurs in the properties of magicals when they enter ire crystals."I think this much information is getting off your head I will give you a ire manual so that you can get more information from it

During the whole explanation Reginold was sitting quietly examining the magnus ring without listening to a single word said by the elder

Arthur and Reginold thanked the elder and leaved his house.Arthur asked,"We don't have clue what to do next so what you think we should do?".Reginold said ,"Perhaps we should try to visit the nearby towns to know what to do next.Then Reginold snapped and said oh I almost forgot that thing...

Four years ago,

Reginold said,"Father I want to pursue my dream too like Arthur.""you can my son but your dream job is too risky and we need you here to help us here.Arthur is gone so we need your aid in farming."Reginold's father said.

Reginold was as sick as a parrot when he heard his reply.That night he left his home in order to pursue his dream.He grabbed his wooden katana

and left never willing to return

until he fulfils his ambition he climbed across the Ibex mountains that night and with the first light he reached it's top.When he was searching for a suitable place for training he saw something three bandits were harassing a old man.After some talking they started beating him and that old man was overwhelmed by the bandits.Reginold who was covertly watching this thought that despite his strong physique that old man is constantly beaten so he should be weak,Thus without a second thought he dashed to save that old man.

All were surprised by his arrival he looked around to grasp the situation and attacked the bandit holding that old man he aimed for his head with the Katana but that bandit single handedly grabbed his Katana and stopped his attack then he released that old man and all the bandits began pummeling Reginold.Reginold tried his best to stop them but his all his efforts were worthless and he fainted by their attacks

After some time when he opened his eyes he found himself sleeping on the bed and that old man applying ointment to his wounds. Reginold wished to stand but that old man stopped him saying,"you have wounded yourself,don't worry take some sleep and you will feel better."Reginold asked him about what happened to the bandits.The old man answered that he fended them off.

Reginold was surprised to hear this he asked with curiosity,"Earlier you were getting beaten by them so how were you able to defeat them?".The old man said,"you are wrong they were not beating me but I was getting beaten by them."Reginold was confused by his answer to clear up his confusion he explained that he was getting beaten intentionally to learn about their techniques,skills and strength to know if I am able to beat them and if I am then I use counter techniques to defeat them.This is the first rule of martial arts to never underestimate your enemies.I know young boy that you attacked the bandits to protect me but you should never attack anyone without judging his power because they can overwhelm you and you will be unable to do anything,you should be cautious from the starting.

While the old man was talking Reginold was looking outside the window when the old man saw this he was like"HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"astonished Reginold cried "I AM WOUNDED DONT ANGRY ON ME!"The old man said ok ok calm down so what's your name Reginold answered that his name is Reginold Hemsworth and I came here for training to become the best mercenary ever to help weak and poor ones.Old man said,"you have a good dream but it is full of risks are you aware of it."Reginold nodded in a positive way and asked,"Enough about me old man who are you."I am.....
