Prologue - A New World

Year 2671

"Fall back !!! We've been attacked by enemies. There is an attack from the Water Mages".

"What? Isn't this place safe?"

"Argo quick come here. I give you the Water Shard."

"Jun, is this okay? I mean you really trusting this to us?"

"Calm down. As long as we still can-"

Suddenly behind them there is a big explosion.

"Looks like the Water Mages' already found us. Argo, let me handle them. You guys just go."

"But-" Before even Argo finished talking there's more explosion coming.

"Faster you idiot. Or this mission will fail and the world will be destroyed."

Shit, i can't do anything. That's what Argo thinking. But they need to get out from the cave. They need to deliver the last shard, Water Shard to the lab.

"Alright, i'm counting on you Jun. Don't die before the mission is completed."

"Don't worry, i'm stronger than you guys. Let me handle them."

Well, we all are going to die too one day. No one can live forever, you idiot Argo.

"Okay, now that they already leave. I can use my full power. Ukhm ukhm. You Water Mages why don't you guys just give up? We can make a new world that is even better than this. Of course, without trash like you guys."

"You, you must be Jun Hikou, The Earth Mage's Leader. You think you can defeat five of us? Even thought you are strong, but fighting five of us is impossible. We are atleast rated AA, althought you are S ranked you will be defeated."

"Well, why don't we try? 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘬𝘦."

"Only that huh? 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵."

The Water Mage destroyed Jun's earthspike.

They laugh at Jun because they destroy a S rank skill really easily.

"Oy oy, you are Earth Mage's leader right? Why are you so weak?"

"Hmm, maybe i was just testing you guys? Now, let's see if you guys can survive this. E𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘬𝘦!"

Argo and his friends are finally out from the cave. They keep running to the vehicle location that their team are waiting at.

"Argo, Jill, Jay, Hose you guys are safe. Come on, we don't have much time left before the Water Mages and Lightning Mages attacking our base."

"What? I thought Lightning Mages are in a war with Fire Mages."

"I've got information that Fire Mages' Leader has been killed. So now they are going to the lab."

"Damn, Lightning Mages are stronger than before. I think now we need help from Wind Mages. Call them and tell them to protect us."

"Yes sir."

He still didn't expect that Lightning Mages can defeat Fire Mages. He afraid that he will fail this mission even thought 'the weak' are supported by Fire, Wind and Earth Mages. Their enemy is only Lightning and Water Mages but they still in a bad position.

Damn it. Please God, help us. I know that this world needs to be fixed. Jun, Valha, Kaleo thanks for your help guys.

On the way to the lab, they encountered Pacifica, the Water Mage's queen. She is the Water Mage Leader's sister. She made a big tsunami heading for them.

"Oh shit, we can't evade that. Is this the end for us?"

Then suddenly the tsunami was blocked by large stone wall that emerged from the ground.

"That. That must be Jun. So he already finished them huh. It's pretty fast than i think, that's why he is the leader."

They saw Jun making a road made of stone so that the car can go through the wall that he made. And then Jun is going to Pacifica's place.

"Oy Pacifica, your enemy is me."

"You brat, how dare you interupt me."

"By the way, how's your brother Perciviel?"

"Why should i tell him to a dead man. Take this 𝘋𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩."

She release a water and blast it to Jun. But then Jun blocked it with his stone.

"So troublesome, as usual. Well then Pacifica. Let's finish this with my special move, 𝘑𝘶𝘯'𝘴 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯."

Jun releasing an obsidian that closing Pacifica.

"What? You can use persona skill? Shit, 𝘍𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵."

"Too weak!"

Pacifica's release her skill to the prison that Jun's made. But her skill can't break Jun's prison.

"Hey, what is this?"

"Enjoy your time there and watch how this world will be fixed from there."

"Shit, you jerk, coward."

"Calm down, calm down. I don't have much mana left too. That's why you might break my prison, but only might."

Pacifica is locked in Jun's prison. Even though she tried to use his skills in prison, she was unable to break it due to differences in power. Pacifica is ranked AAA and Jun is S. Only one rank ahead, makes a lot of difference.

Well now i already locked this little princess. And it's your turn, Argo. You're the only who can save the world, you're the one who can save us all. It's up to you now Jun. Good Luck my friend.

"Jerry faster, hit the gas more."

"Patient Argo, Jun already handle her right? Nothing to worry now."

"Huh, i'm just scared that they can chase us and kill us before even we arrived to the lab."

"Okay okay, i will use the 'Overboost' button."

Jerry use the overboost and make the car even faster than before. 100 km/h, 120 km/h, 150 km/h. The speed are raising really fast.

Argo knows that Jun is strong enough to defeat that girl, but he just can't calm down. The situation in this world is very bad. The strong one always win and take over everything.

Luckily the weak one or the normal people that doesn't have power can make an alliance with Fire, Wind and Earth Mage.

In the past before the war. Argo and Jun are best friends. But when Jun went to America, there he got the power he didn't want because of his job. His job is to explore the world to find a rare or historic items.

When exploring, he found a mysterious shard that gives him the power that he has now. But he didn't realise that until he bring those shard to the lab.

Suddenly when he tried to break the shard to examine it, the shard emiting light and all of them in the lab fainted. After they wake up, they realise that the lab is destroyed and their body feels really different.

When Jun woke up, he realise that his friend is emiting a water from his hand. The water is protecting them so they didn't get hurt at all. "What the hell is happening." He can't think straight anymore and lose his calm. From that moment he stopped working and go back to Singapore.

"Boss Argo, we're close now."

"Okay, get ready guys."

They finally arrived at the lab safely. Inside the lab, there is a big machine. They called it 'The Destroyer'. The machine looks like a big harpoon. It has a big plasma power and it can destroy anything in this world.

They believe that the machine can destroy all the shards and they also believe that if all the shards is gone, every power in this world will be gone. And after that the world will be peace again.

But Jun also knew that that was just one other possibility. He knew that if the shards were destroyed, other possibilities could occur like this world would be worse than being destroyed. But there's no time to hesitate. They need to destroy it once and for all.

"Okay, now all the five shards are here. Open the gate and prepare for fire."

"Process one complete. Process two complete. Process three complete. Ready to fire Boss."

"Well, i hope this works."

Thanks for everything guys. If you guys weren't helping me to make this machine and helping me to stealing the shard, i can't fix this world. I hope this works and i hope the new world that we've made can be better than this trash world. Thank you Jun, Valha, Kaleo, Jill, Jay, Hose, Press, Kim, Lomo and everyone.

"I know that i don't have to say this again. But i'm sorry guys if this fail but also thank you for helping me this far. I hope if we die, we can meet again. One day."

"Don't say that boss. You promise us not to tell this again right?"

"I'm sorry, hehe."

Tears drop from Argo's eyes. He felt happy because he had fought with his friends.

Then the light comes from the shards and spreads. The explosion spread far, almost covers the entire surface of the earth.

"Yow Valha, you're good?"

"Hey Kaleo. I thought you were dead."

"Ah, the rumour that Lightning Mages killed me? What a joke."

"So? What happened back then?"

"I run away from my base. That's all."

Suddenly they heard a huge explosion and a bright light coming towards them.

"Ah, so Argo did it? It's over atleast."

"Well Valha, hope we can meet again with Argo, Jun and the others after this."

"I hope so. It's been a good life. Really good life. But it's too short."

"Yeah, good bye my friend. No one will gonna miss you."

"No one gonna miss you too man."

***

The explosion spread to make the earth covered by a black cloud for more than 250 years. Almost every living things can't survive the explosion.

But what is surprising is that Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and other Southeast Asia countries are not completely destroyed. But still the destruction is too big, from almost 9 billion people in this world. Now it's only less then 10 million people, 900 : 1 ratio.

And now the only country that can operate is Australia. The name of the country was changed to Sezezu. But because of hunger and illnesses, there are now only 6 million people left in the world in 309.

When rebuilding a country, people realize that they have gained mysterious power, like magic. They think that they gained the power from the broken shards that spread throughout the world.

Because of that, lots of people are using their magic to rebuild the country, the city and everything. Before the 'World End' tragedy happens, people can only use elemental magic. Like fire, water, wind, lightning and earth. But now they can use other magic too, such as light, dark, ice, nature, and other magic.

There is a person named Reon who leads the country and make a system. He made a rank for magic users and he made the rules.

A magic user is now called 'Mage'. Every Mage are not allowed to attack each other or they will go to the jail. The jail have a magic barrier so if someone is locked there, they can't use their magic power. There's a school for magic user to study there from 15 years old until 20 years old. Before that, they must study at normal school.

There's also mage rank system. Reon make the mage rank system based on the mage's pyshical ability, magic ability, mana capacity, stamina capacity, movement speed, intelligence, and magical weapon ability.

The lowest rank is F, the highest rank is SSS. Between F and SSS ratings are D, C, B, A, AA, AAA, S, and SS. Until now, there are only six students who have SSS rank. And there is only seventeen adults who have SSS rank.

After they graduate, they can do whatever they want as long as they don't do crime. But lots of them wants to go adventuring and killing beasts and monsters out there. Because the shards not only affecting human but also plants and animal. So animal and plants can use magic too now.

Reon also divided areas to make cities. Until now there are nine cities. And that is Kaleo, Valha, Terra, Shaza, Edna, Achanta, Gretta, Loretta, and Canbera. The capital is Kaleo, the region is a former city of Sydney.

And now the world has become peaceful. Atleast the human are not in the war each other. But now the human's enemy are the magic monsters out there. They usually attacking the villages and cities. That's why lots of people wants to be adventurers.
