Chapter 1 - EPISODE-1

80 years ago.....

The sky as red as crimson red as if the bloodshed of the war had bleached the sky with that of blood. The remaining people in the battlefield struggling to fight and survive. The large meteorites destructing everyone on the battlefield. A soldier panting to run away with his injured arm from the battlefield with meteorites falling from behind. He looked back and saw a meteorite. He bent down looked towards the sky and prayed.

Soldier: OH god please take care of Lia and Lily!(he closed his eyes and joined his hands)

He had tears in eyes. The moment the meteorite was about to hit him. It sliced into many pieces of small rocks like it was a block cheese. The thing or rather I say the entity that appeared in front of him was something that had unimaginable valor and strength. He appeared to be a strange beast but it seemed to have intellect just like that of human. He held a Scythe which emitted an aura that a worthy holder can handle.

Beast: I think you have a family to take care of so you should just escape if you don't want to die in this apocalypse.

Soldier: If you don't mind what's your name?

Beast: Arnos but you should really flee if you want to see your family again.

Arnos slashes the another meteorite with an air slash that was about crash again and created an explosion.

Arnos: You better run before the situation gets tensed.

Soldier: Right!

Soldier runs away from the battlefield and shouts that he'll remember Arnos for saving his life. Arnos also rushed towards the battle where he could see Wakehem (True Demon Lord). 

A purple ball of mana glowing in sky appeared but it exploded and split open the red sky and came the starry night. Since that moment the War of dominance met its end but no one knew the consequences at main battleground where the 2 heroes fought.

Present

Arnos was a beast who was known as the savior of The Paradise also as The Grim Reaper of Death because of the mythical scythe that he used to slay the enemy and send them to final rest. The war against Paradise and the awakened True Demon Lord Wakehem. The empire of Paradise had summoned 4 heroes of which only 2 heroes survived till the end. The 2 heroes were particularly known as Sand and Light Hero. The heroes proved to put an end to the battle by claiming the victory over the demon army and Wakehem himself. But that's what most people of Elderia (earlier known as Paradise) now know is something else that was stated in books. The beast who fought in the war was the one who was the savior of the old time but as per how the things stand now the present has ceased the know about its existence. The Empire Of Elderia came in occurrence after the end of war. Arnos whose existence was erased was currently sealed in the ruins of the underworld. It was still not fully discovered. But the rumors about these ruins were stated to hold unimaginable treasures of old time. Greedy hunters would take a chance entering the depth but none was able find such extreme treasures that was fabled thee. Many tried but the result was the same. This site was abandoned due to its fake myths but still there were many who still believed and tried to reach the true treasure. But one hunter was able to reach the depth. It was very odd thing that a hunter was able to reach the sealed room where the beast was captivated.

In Sealed room

Arnos was sitting on a throne while he was mumbling out some word in anger.

Arnos: How could you how could you two betray their humanity? What kind of heroes are they to join hands with demons?

Arnos finally hears the gates opening and sees a hunter.

Hunter: Its too dark. I hope there lies the great fabled treasure.(with wide grin)

Arnos was no longer able to hold back his anger and grabbed his scythe and dashed towards the hunter who opened the seal. He pierced his scythe through his chest and smashed his head with his other hand and drilled him into the wall. He when saw his face, it didn't resembled the one he had his rage against. But the hunter was already dead. He bent down and prayed for his peace in heaven. He asked for forgiveness for killing an innocent person in his rage. He punched himself in the face to reset his mind in right direction and used disguise magic to shape himself into a human. His human form made him more short. He got white hair and some black circle under his eyes but his looks beside this was appealing. He headed outside the ruins and when he exited ,he tried to head towards Greynold forest which was a little safer for him then the human town or villages. Greynold was a orc defeated long ago and when he died his skull was left away at the land. Soon trees and plants began to grow around it. A fully developed forest established and was inhabited by many creatures since then. 

Arnos: It looks like I should head towards Greynold.

He arrived at the entrance of the forest. He tried to enter but before he could do that he saw a demon tree(B-rank). He smiled and ravaged the monster with just a blow of his fist. He took a bite of the branch of demon tree and gained 2 skills [Strangling Roots Lv.1- summons the root from the ground and immobilizes enemy] and [Poison resistance Lv-1- provides resistance to poison at some extent].

Arnos: I need to level up more if need to get my true power back. The seal took away lot of my skills along with my memories.

Arnos looks at sky and starts to head forward but before after he walks inside the forest for a while he heard a rustle in the bushes in the forest.

Arnos: Whoever it is come in front.

Suddenly a dryad with green hair appeared in front of her. 

Dryad: I don't want any trouble but I must request you to leave our forest at once. You seemed to be threat to our forest. You defeated one of the demon trees but I don't think you're just a mere human based on just such raw power.

Arnos in my mind: It feels weird but the demon tree I just defeated must have scared the dryad.

Arnos: So lets put up a deal.

Dryads: Fine with me.
