Chapter 0: Introduction

A topless warrior standing at the edge of the cliff. He's exhausted and lost his poise because of the dirt and bleeding on his body. He's vision went blurry and weakened but still tried to look eager to the undead infront of him.

"I'll die first than becoming an undead!!!" He shouted at loud

*Guess life's not that bad* He smiled

The warrior jump without any hesitation.

(18 years before)

A boy wake up, the dawn started already. He's still sleepy with a mess blonde wavy hair. He brush his butterscotch eyes to see a clear vision. The room is unpainted and empty that that the only thing he always see is his bed, the table with books at the side and two white curtains covering his window.

He was born from wealthy family, the house shows its aristocracy that the wooden furnitures are well made with shelves at the hall way that the only problem its left unpainted and there are big cargos and barrels in each side containing nice weapons.

A woman Valkyrie opened the door of his room to wake him up. The woman look more barbaric than being valkyrie considering a well built body and bossy she was also holding a big scythe than using sword.

He looked at the woman.

The woman is serious. “Phoenix, the king awaits you at his throne” It was a command

“Where is mom, is she back Azil?” Phoenix asked.

“I'll be waiting outside don’t let Majesty wait for you” Azil replied.

Phoenix Nodded and the woman walked outside his room.

He sighed sadly.

(After)

He left his room and see the Valkyrie waiting at the dining hall.

“ Let's go” he commanded.

The valkyrie woman sighed secretly and they left the mansion owned by his Ancestor. While on their way, he only saw a greeny sight until they reached the gate of the kingdom. It was built from massive block of marbles that create a monstrous wall. The only thing inside is a kingdom consuming the whole place while the rest is for the Mint area.

He get out of the carriage. The ground is also

create from block of marbles.

The kingdom is unpainted but well built also with pattern of arc windows and posts on the front of the castle. They entered the ground floor but it was all empty.

"Why is the ground floor empty Azil?" He asked

"For soldier" Azil responded

"Soldier?" He went confused

Azil sighed "This is last place for us to defend if a war appeared"

He sighed and focus on walking to the big cylindrical stairs.

"The ground floor could be also the place of event of the kingdom like celebriting win from war" Azil suddenly speak

They reach the Second floor, He was amazed to see the walls are painted white with combination of dark brown for linings.

"They painted from this floor until the last floor to give relaxing atmosphere for the king wives, if your going to ask" Azil said

He nodded

(After)

At the throne room he met the king, they bowed.

“My king, I already have the boy with me” the valkyrie talked.

The king looked at him only. “Let me talk to him privately”

The courtier looked at the royal guard and everyone started to leave.

“What can I do for you king Ezekiel?" He asked when everyone left except them.

“I summoned you for you to know that your mother died in the battle against Uthora Kingdom” King Ezekiel explained.

His expression went dark but he look at the king with passionate smile “I’m aware that the war means to lost something precious your majesty but what will happen to me?” He asked.

“You will inherit your mother's wealth, you can continue your studies without fee but your family lineage in this kingdom will be on your decision” the king stood up to his throne.

He dislike the answer secretly.

“What can I do for my lineage to stay in nobility my king?” He fake his smile.

“Your family was entitled because of your Ancestors who serve as imperial knight of this kingdom and you need to pass the qualification for your means of nobility” the king answered.

He secretly pissed off.

The king smiled “ but with your reputation came from family of warriors you could also take another course and take your life away from the war of this kingdom”

The king showed a paper and give it to him. “This contains message for you and I thought of giving it to you personally as my condolence to your family”

“Thank you king Ezekiel, I will be taking now my leave to read this letter” He bowed to hide his anger.

The king nodded and he started to leave but the king called him again.

“Wait young man but I came up of idea to give you something worthy before you leave” The king said.

“What is it king Ezekiel?” he asked.

“Your family lineage is critical that there are no one here in this kingdom could assist you to maintain your families wealth” The king answered.

He sighed when the king remove sight at him.

The king looked at side. “Stop peeking and come out”

The young lady appeared in front of him.

“This is Nathalie, She came from Merchant family and she end up being sold because for her family loans from my finance ministry. She always sneak information outside and I end up being troubled because of it”

“What about her majesty?” He asked.

“I thought of giving her to you, she could assist you in anything particular about businesses, taking care of your wealth and become your maid” The king said.

Nathalie went shocked.

“I’m sorry king Ezekiel but my mother taught not to trust strangers. Even I disagree slavery, I can only accept her as my slave” he answered.

The king smiled “Don’t worry she's already slave, I see that your family is too cautious when it comes to other people that you don’t even owned maids”

He noticed the collar.

Phoenix smiled “I’m looking forward to her assistance, thank you for the gift your majesty”

Nathalie went shocked and expressionless

(After)

They are now walking while Nathalie is touching new collar.

Nathalie sighed. “Where are we going master?”

Phoenix looked at her “House”

(House)

He's now sitting on the couch and look at Nathalie after looking at the letter he put on the table infront of him.

“Sit, we need to have a good arrangement that you are now my slave” he said.

They both looked at each other seriously.

(Years passed)

They got age

He’s now an old man seating on the old couch while Nathalie is sitting on the top of him and a two kids entered crying.

They stood up worriedly.

“What it is?” He asked

“We saw big fire outside the town” The kid answered.

The both of them look at the window and went shocked because of the big fire while a butler entered the room also.

“What is happening outside Ultas?” He asked.

“Undead and they already invade the half part of this kingdom” Ultas answered in serious tone

He went feared but looked at the kids.

“Send my family out of this kingdom” He command.

“What about you?” Nathalie asked .

“ I need to do my job so I can’t leave here but I need you to be safe” He answered

“Master the other kingdoms blocked this place the minute the curse started and we are trapped in this place” Ultas answered.

*This must be other kingdoms doings* He went mad

“Use the merchant boats but hide yourselves from the sight of other kingdoms, they must be trapping everyone here” He command ultas

Ultas nodded
