"Arghhh..!!!"
A loud groan was heard, for a second….his eyes blurred, gently widening his half lidded eyes.
He saw himself cuddling up a pillow.
The dim fluorescent light overhead cast an eerie glow on the worn furniture and faded curtains, as the sounds of outsiders filtered through the thin walls.
He tilted his gaze, his eyes scanned the entirety of the room he slept in.
The air was stale, heavy with the scent of old carpet and stale air, as he slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
The room was small, with a single bed, a worn nightstand. Outside the sounds of moving traders were evident.
It's another day for the town to be busy.
He got down from the bed, gently stretching his arms. He slowly took off his shirt, gently approaching the closed curtains.
He could see the reflection of the sunlight which beamed down into his room.
He gently rolled the curtains, staring down at the world below him.
He exhaled a deep sigh.
He gently rubbed his silk crimsoned hair, making use of his right hand. His face beamed with smiles.
"It's a brand new day to enjoy myself isn't it? My dear old friend"
He questioned.
He gently twisted his neck, his gaze darting over his shoulders, his eyes locked onto the figure present before him.
A man whose presence was never detected until now.
Grey haired and cerulean eyes, his lips curled up into a knowing grin.
From his stance, one could tell he isn't an ordinary player. He's an expert rank player.
Level's yet to be known.
He bowed his head before the figure standing before him.
"I'm sorry Young Master Arthur but you've spent your days having fun, I was sent here to bring you to Sendaya City"
"Your father awaits your presence"
The crimsoned haired young man inhaled the fresh air, slowly returning his attention back to the window.
"How did you know I was here?" He asked.
But who was he?
He's Arthur BloodRaven. He's the prince of the Raine Kingdom, a man famously known for his mastery of his two genesis.
The first to ever awaken two genesis at a single time.
Despite his achievements, no one knew who he truly was or what his origin was all about.
He was respected and honored for his contributions as a designated noble of the West.
Hiding the fact that he's an otherworlder.
Unlike Craig Humphrey who died and was reincarnated into the body of the Demon Lord Zephyr.
Arthur BloodRaven, formerly Renard Gonzalez was amongst the ten thousand souls transported into the
Reborn as the third son of the King who reigns over the Raine Kingdom.
And amongst the transported players.
He's the only one blessed with two genesis.

"Young Master Arthur. We've have been watching you from the shadows since you exited the Raine Kingdom"
"We only decided to make a move because of the King's orders to bring you in"
A distorted cold but seductive feminine voice echoed from the shadows.
Arthur's eyes rolled.
Out from his shadows emerged a feminine figure, he stood unfazed by her presence as she morphed into her true form.
A sixth level expert who follows the Nightpath genesis.
The shadowy form began to take shape, her features coalescing like mist in the morning sun, until she stood before them, solid and real.
A lopsided grin escaped her lips.
She's Nobara Hungen. An assasin of the Raine Kingdom, she was a vision of black, her outfit a senseless blend of darkness and shadow.
Her presence as silent as a ghost, she held an assasin blade. She held a runed crafted rondel dagger.
She stared at Arthur, biting her lips seductively but Arthur paid no attention to her seduction.
Two experts stood before him.
He sighed softly.
"I thought only Aiden was sent to pick me up but to think my father also sent you as well. Did he think I wouldn't come?"
Arthur asked.
She giggled softly.
"No. The King is a wise man, he wouldn't send two expert rankers to come take a master ranker by force"
"He would have sent four master rankers or even a grandmaster if he needed to drag you back to the Sendaya City"
"We were only sent here to monitor you as your guardian"
"If it weren't for that young man. I would have killed those weaklings who attacked you"
Nobara spoke out,
"Ah. Yes, I think I remember what happened yesterday, was drunk a bit so I allowed those men have their way with beating me"
"And besides I had no intentions of exposing myself but that man who saved me. Where is he?"
Arthur asked.
Nobara careesed her chin, seen in deep thoughts.
"Well we don't actually know where he's heading at the moment, we only watched him while he had you kept in his motel room"
"Once he left hours later and we confirmed you are still alive. We didn't bother him any longer" Nobara explained.
"He's probably heading to the Sendaya City" She added.
"The Sendaya City huh? Since the Raine Kingdom, one of the five great kingdoms in the West is hosting the Summit"
"Father wants me to be there as a symbol of power"
Arthur said with a chuckle.
"Well I cannot say no to the old man, Fabian….while the Summit is ongoing, I want you to investigate that man who saved me"
Arthur commanded.
His eyes were fixed on the first expert ranker who appeared before him, his personal guard and assasin.
Fabion the skewer.
Fabion bowed his head before Arthur, making no complaints but Nobara was confused, her brows curled up.
She wasn't having it.
"Why are you looking for that man? Is he because of the girls he was traveling with? Do you like any of them?"
Nobara asked with a chuckle.
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes gazing lazily in a different direction, his expression a picture of indifference.
"Nah. I'm not bothered about things like this, those girls may be beautiful but I'm not one to be swayed by emotions"
"Despite the seals I placed on myself to suppress my levels"
"That man saw through my levels. He knew I was a master and when everyone doubted and mocked him"
"He was still certain" Arthur explained, he had his arms folded.
Nobara's eyes bulged.
"What??" She exclaimed.
"That man knew your level? That's shocking, the seal you used wasn't an ordinary seal, only the unnatural eyes could see it"
Nobara said.
"Yh, Yh….I know that already, that's why I'm suprised as to how he was able to see through the seal"
"He isn't someone ordinary, aside from the Demon Lord whom we killed months ago"
"I haven't seen someone so unnatural"
Arthur stated.
"And speaking of the Demon Lord whom I killed alongside the Heroes, what is his name again? I've forgotten"
Arthur questioned.
"Perhaps I've even forgotten what he looks like, the memories of that Demon Lord is slowly fading away"
"It's just like I never even killed him in the first place. What the hell is going on?"
Arthur asked. His eyes twitched for a second.

[Location: Sendaya City, Raine Kingdom]
"Finally, so this is the Sendaya City huh? Humans really know how to build" Cassie giggled.
They rode their horses into the world beyond the gates and the walls.
The entrance was heavily guarded because of the upcoming Summit.
Craig spent hours alongside hundreds of others. Once he was verified together with his wives.
He was ushered into the City.
On their way coming, they had no interference. All those who watched them from the shadows made no move.
Craig lifted his head, he stared at the scorching sun.
The sunlight had no dire effects on him due to his demonic genes.
Craig's face went lit, beaming with smiles.
"Even though the world settings is a mixture of the medieval times and the old era, this is such a beautiful city"
He mused. He was extremely mesmerized.
The city sprawled majestically, it's ancient stones bearing the weight of centuries, as crumbling temples and majestic palaces stood sentinel over the winding streets.
The city's architecture was a testament to its rich past. With the intricate carvings and ornate frescoes adorning buildings.
Their weathered facades telling tales of countless battles and conquests.
The air was thick with history, the scent of incense and spices wafting through the crowded marketplaces.
Where merchants and traders haggled over exotic goods.
They toured around for a few hours, Craig wanted to grasp on how the market of this world works.
Since his new nation lacks in culture and in their economy.
He needed to figure out more things, more ideas.
Once he was done, they booked a room in an hotel located at the southern part of the city. The Summit will be taking place the next morning.
He needed to prepare.
While he was busy resting on his bed while having his wives resting their heads on his chest with their hands wrapped around him.
Craig was being watched from the shadows….
Creatures who hid in the dark.
Slowly they encroached the entirety of the hotel. Equipped with their daggers and machetes.
Cloaked in darkness, they had a single purpose.
To assasinate the Demon Lord Zephyr
