Chapter 1

Prologue: Mount Karma (Chapter 1)

Humanity had been discriminated against and enslaved for centuries. It may be because they are the weakest race on the planet. What good are they but to be slaves? In recent years, one faction of the war started ‘The human right moment’. Explosions! Wars and famines, every faction fighting for leadership and power, call it world domination. It was the beginning of dark times. Or should it be called spring of terrors that are to follow? Everything that happens, everything that will happen, sprung here at this moment.

Conflict and confusion of war can be dreadful for many, but for a few, it can be an opportunity to invade impossible places. ‘The Last Page’ only remaining page of supreme grimoire tells a story; story of a cursed place hidden within ‘The Great Black.’ It was a place entrusted to guard an artefact of power. A power that could grant any wish, absolute reign if you so desire. Believing such a legend, a team of men sought out for that forbidden place. The place is called ‘Mount Karma’. A place so dangerous that even the most powerful of them could never return once they have crossed the event horizon. No matter the consequences, there are always fools who put their hands on something they don’t understand.

***

“I thought everyone dies the instant they enter the event horizon; how come we are still alive?”

“Naomi is right. Not only that, there is no storm. Does that mean lore is incorrect?” That was Justin.

“The stories are all true. I have researched every history book about the place. There was only one survivor from a certain group who has entered this place throughout history. He was a human, like us. Do you understand where I am going? The curse only works on the creatures of grace. I learned that through his logbook, which I stole with the page. That’s why we are still alive because the artefact was always meant for us humans,” Heath explained with a soft and slow voice. He always had such a soothing voice, even when he was rude or angry.

“Have I not told you this before. I thought I did before we crossed the event horizon,” Heath continued after a brief pause.

“No, you haven’t, Your Gracefulness,” Zach said with a sly grin, giving a sarcastic bow. “Why did this idiot have to be our boss?” He muttered. Heath believed he wasn’t supposed to hear that.

“Ohh… honey! I love it when you talk like that,” Heath said, kissing Zach on his lips.

“Wait, wait! Even if that is true, why hasn’t anybody else found it before?” That was Phil.

“Isn’t it obvious? Every entrance used to be heavily guarded by them, and slaves are cowards,” Sam replied, squatting and jumping around.

***

They weren’t the only ones aiming for the ‘Mount Karma.’ A woman wearing a pitch-black suit from head to toe, carrying a suitcase, was just about to enter the event horizon. She was standing in front of a dome, so enormous, so dark -she thought the darkness would swallow her whole.

“Holy mother of frack!” she screamed her lungs out as she crossed the event horizon. “Am I dead?”

“I’m still alive, yay.” She said, nodding left and right, sweating all over. “Ah-Phew! That was the scariest second of my life.” She looked at a device in her left hand. “the signal is coming from straight ahead,” she muttered and began her journey.

***

Heath’s group walked and walked, but there was nothing but snow-white sand. The sun never rose. The sky was always dark. Still, everything was as clear as day, and it was as hot as any other desert.

“The air is getting heavier and heavier, deeper we go. No wonder all the slaves died. They cannot survive such an environment like this,” Sam Said.

Heath scooped up a handful of sand and grinned at it. “I understand it now. It’s so simple that it is almost laughable.”

“What are you talking about?” Sam cocked his head.

“I think he’s losing it,” Naomi grinned.

“Look,” Heath showed the sand in his hand to them. “This is the reason they all died,” he added with excitement.

Everyone stared at Heath with a confused face which said, “Hun!”

“This is the sand that is used to make grace blockers. Radiation from this sand can block the flow of grace. Unlike us, that much radiation would be extremely poisonous for the grace users, killing grace users almost instantly. Does that answer your confusion?”

Everyone nodded.

They continued on their journey to ‘Mount Karma.’ They travelled for more than a month. Because of the low supply of food and water, almost everyone had died. The remaining thirteen of them finally reached ‘Mount Karma’.

It was not a mountain at all. It was a black monolith full of holes. The word ‘Mount Karma’ was inscribed on it. A golden goblet was hovering above the monolith, glittering in the light, which seemed to come from nowhere. Sam tried to climb the monolith.

Climb down off me at once.

It was an angry and echoing voice. Heath could not pinpoint the source of the sound. Though the logic said that, it was coming from the monolith.

Sam gave a start, toppling on the sandy ground. “O-Gosh! That startled me. That wasn’t funny. Which one of you did it?” Sam snapped, straightening himself and dusting his back.

Foolish child! It is I, the great monolith.

Heath knelt kissing the sands beneath him, “O-great monolith, we are here but for one purpose for you to grant us our one wish.”

My children, it is not within my power to grant you your wishes, for I was forever cursed by a great evil. But fret not my children, I can give you a gift to save this world. Is it not your true desire...?

“Why do I feel like there is ... but coming?” Naomi said reluctantly.

But my children, I have one condition…

“I knew it! His way of talking was eerie, and there are always conditions…”

“Worry not, my children. I will not ask what you cannot give. I have thirteen stories I wish to tell you. One for each one of you.”

After hearing their stories, all of them reacted simultaneously. “Yes.”

The goblet got separated into thirteen smaller goblets and hovered in front of their faces.

Thank you! My children for accepting my humble gifts. Thank you. You shall be saviours of humanity. Drink my children drink, and you shall attain my gift.

Each one of them gulped the water from the goblet floating in front of them. Abruptly, a bolt of purple lightning boomed and struck the monolith. The flash hurled all thirteen of them into the air. Burning pain coursed through Heath as he fell. Even with the pain, he managed to stand up. His ears were still ringing because of that boom, and his sight was blurred, he realized, as he looked about for his friends.

First, his sight returned and then his hearing. The monolith was no longer there. It had vanished. There were burns on his both arms. His charred flesh from all over his body dropped like molten tar and vanished before it hit the sand. His arms were completely healed. There was no sign of burns as if it never happened. It happened so fast that the pain vanished in a blink.

Frantically, Heath searched for Zach. He found a charred body completely black. Somehow, he knew it was Zach. His beloved Zach was dead, how could …

Abruptly, the charred body began to boil. Molten black liquid oozed away from the charred body, exposing the white skeleton. Flesh grew over the bones. And there he was, Zach, eyes open, completely healed as if he wasn’t a charred body just a minute ago. Shocked and happy at the same time, he embraced Zach, tears dropping in his eyes. “You are alive,” he whispered. “You are alive.”

“What? What happened?”

***

“So? This little thing was giving off that cosmic radiation? What are you?” The mysterious woman muttered.

It was a bright Violet gemstone. She picked it up and stored it inside a led coated case. As she tried to stand, she struck a hard wall. She yelped.

“Bloody hell, that startled me?” She cried.

The wall was a middle-aged man carrying an oddly shaped crooked staff. “What is a woman like you doing at a place like this?”

“I could ask you the same thing,” she replied. “Not that you are a woman.”

“I have been picking up strange signals, so I came here to investigate it. But the signals suddenly vanished. So strange.” The man scratched the back of his head.

“Yeah! Weird, right?” she said, making a clueless voice.

“What’s that! In your case, I mean?”

“Well… ha-ha-ha..., it’s nothing, absolutely nothing.” She grinned nervously.

Rumble! Crackle! Boom!

Their conversation was cut short. The noises grew louder and louder, the ground was dancing in madness, and the dark sky flashed brilliantly with forked lightning. The lightning and thunder echoed from everywhere, and the black sky cracked open, and the world was upside down. Everything around them warped and twisted.

Space was folding within itself. Even the lightning seemed to warp within itself. It seemed like the end of the world. With a brilliant flash of light, that madness stopped, everything stopped for a moment. There was no breathing, no heartbeat, there was no life or death, there was only emptiness. The woman found herself and the man stranded in an iceberg, shivering to their bones.

***

A few weeks after the event within ‘The Great black’, the trajectory of the war shifted in a different direction.

The war ended after the arrival of a certain man. No one remembered what had happened. Twelve of the alive gifted remembered, but they never talked of it.

The war which no one remembered was named ‘The Darkhour’. Generations had passed as civilizations rose, and they fell. The time of three great powers has arrived, and evil is on the brink of awakening again.

Chapter 2: Hunters Corp
[POV: Silver Davis] In the wasteland of pólemos, a lone sorcerer stood straight—looking into the vast starry sky, his hand rising to the heavens itself. All he could see around him was nothing but a vast plain of barren land with a few bushes and covered with small green grasses, soft and moist to the feet. He heard insects chirping through in the distance. As tears flowed through his deep blue eyes, he folded his fingers and pulled his hand down. His messy hair was shining in the moonlight. Silver was rather short for a 15-year-old boy, 4 ft. 3 inches. He also had a distinct but small scar just above his left eyebrow. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a bird symbol on the back and grey pants. A black bracelet with a single glass-like white stone encircled his left wrist. His name was Silver, just like his hair. It’s been ten days. I’d better hurry and get going, he said to himself and went on a journey to the ‘Republic of

Chapter 3: To be Strongest in the World
    [POV: Silver Davis] Silver found himself in a white room. Everything was white, the walls, the ceiling, the floor. Except for the chair. She asked him to sit down and maintain his posture. It was brown, the chair. Alisha asked him to smile, and there was a flash of light. So that’s the magic device that can capture your image, that’s so cool. His eyes sparkled to see the object. Silver had always read about magic items, but he had never seen one in real life. Well, not something that cool, anyway. After taking his picture, she asked him to follow her again. They weren’t back at the counter after going through the door. Instead, Silver found himself in another room again. There was an enormous structure with a door, no more like a huge pillar with a door. Alisha opened the door with her right hand and asked him to get inside once more. “Get inside the door, ple

Chapter 4: Country Of Sizen
[POV: Narrator] Silver woke up yawning deeply as the sun spread its shimmering rays. There was a window beside his bed, from which he could see the city beyond. There was a shop with a young and incredibly stunning lady selling fruit and vegetables to the people. Watching those crowd, he recalled his own home and his terrible destiny. Sizen, his homeland, was a closed nation surrounded by the land of pólemos and was on the top of Elohim's plateau. The population of the nation was roughly 225,000. The country had a palace, one on each land. Fire Village to the North, Wind Village to the East, Lightning Village to the West, Earth Village to the Southwest and Water Village to the Southeast, Capital to the Middle. Each village was about a hundred miles away from the capital and had a population of about 20,000-28,000. Whereas capital had a population of 100,000; (50,000 humans). The land of Sizen was mostly occupied by Elementals like him

Chapter 5: Kara Davis
[POV: Kara Davis]   “What is it? Is something wrong?” She asked the messenger with a concerned look. “Well, Um... Ahh... the... Umm...” Kara Frowned. The messenger was staring at the table and kept shifting his legs. But most of all he was trembling visibly. What could have made the other man so terrified? This can’t be good news. “Well? Spit it out already.” Guard stepped back, nearly jumping on his tiptoes. He shifted his eyes to his feet. “Forgive me, my lady, to be the bearer of such sad news, but his imperial majesty is dead and your husband along with him. I was told that both of them were poisoned to death.” His mouth worked and quivered as he passed the horrid news.   For a second, her mind went blank. What was the messenger saying? He must have mistaken. Yes, he was probably too nervous and said the wrong words.  But one look at the messenger and realisation hit he

Chapter 7: Funeral
  “Sir Jones, Sir Vlad. Please, sir, we welcome you to our village.” Sir Thomas urged them through the village gate. Vlad, being Vlad, walked into the village as if he owned the place. “You invitation warms my heart, Sir Thomas.” Kara had a hard time stifling her scoff. “It is but my pleasure,” Thomas said.  Why were these two acting so formally? Something is going on here. Or am I just reading too much into things? “Where are the councillors? Are they really not here?” Kara inspected the mass of the army in front of the village. There were no luxurious wagons or palanquins that indicated the presence of the councillors.  “They are on their way. We just left early to help prepare,” Sir Jones Said. Kara nodded. After walking through the street paved with cobblestones, they finally reached the magnificent castle of the water village. They entered the castle through th

Chapter 8: Funeral 2
[POV: Kara Davis] Echoing screams still hung in the air. Why did at times like this, everything seem to slow down? It made everything that was happening even worse. Two hulks of the man climbed up to Kara and grabbed her from either side, forcing her on her knees. Her hands pulled behind her back. Kara felt the weight of a leg pushing on her back. She tried to struggle, of course, but these men were bloody strong. Her body didn’t even twitch. Ria’s forsaken bastards. The vampires pulled their head back, mouth open wide, their fangs sleek with drooping poison. The ever-present screams in the air increased. Some wailed, some collapsed, children clinging to their parents, eyes clamped shut. “No, not them. They have done nothing wrong. Just kill me and be done with it. But please, have mercy on them. Kill me instead. Please, I’m begging you... NO... Please, don’t hurt them. NO.” Despite her wails for mercy, nobody heard, even she barely heard it.

Chapter 9: Eternal Screams
Silver woke up to a throbbing pain in his forehead. Why was everything so dark? Silver groaned. Ria Above! The pain was killing him. He tried to rub his throbbing forehead, but he immediately pulled his hands back, wincing at the pain, motes of dried blood sticking to his fingertips. What the hell happened to me. Where am I?  Silver pulled on his grace and held and held that torrent of power within him; the power that allowed him to create and manipulate water constructs. Of course, the fact that he could pull on his grace surprised him. It could only mean that the summer solstice was over. With the power of grace within him,, he could finally see his surroundings. When one pulled on grace, they would be surrounded by blue ethereal light that could illuminate the surroundings to some extent. He was greeted by walls of earth surrounding him. All the herbs he had picked were scattered around him. There was a stone with dry b

Chapter 10: Death at his Hand
[POV: Silver Davis] The vampire hesitated for a second but quickly spoke. “You have to understand. I had no choice. We are by the order of…” The vampire made a choking noise as if he was trying to form a word, but it was stuck in his throat. Silver thought it was just an act to distract him, but then he felt something brewing in the other man’s neck. Something that chilled his spine. His primal instinct took over and Silver jumped back, pulling on as much as Grace as could. Silver was not sure what was going on, but the energy was building up in the vampire’s throat. Is this some kind of attack the vampires have? The vampire’s neck exploded in the torrent of red energy, his head spinning high-high into the air. Silver put up a wall of water in front of him in the nick of time. The force of the explosion was strong. His wall of water barely protected him. Just as the wall of water dropped, something round crashed into th
