The Tale of Two Heroes
Five hundred years ago the world although had it's problems, was a somewhat peaceful place, that is until one day out of nowhere portals opened in the sky , from them came creatures that man only thought of in legends, those creatures wrecked havock upon the world, the creatures destroyed cities in the whole world, humanity was on the verge of destruction, when everything seemed lost a brave youth stood up to face those monsters, although very powerful the youth couldn't handle all of them.
That's when he thought up a ideia, he would teach humanity a method as to which they could defend themselves, that method was the same as the monsters used to wreak havock, "magic" was it called, it took humanity ten years to learn and master it, but, once they learn it they had a chance to fight those monsters and even the game, another ten years have passed and humanity seemed to have finaly been able to turn the table when suddenly, a human magician decided to ally himself with the creatures, he was known as the "Dark mage", a very powerful magic user that used dark magic to control the beasts, his cunning to control the sapient ones and his sheer magical power to control all by fear.
The hero, knowing that the madness will only be over if the mage were defeated, decided to gather some of his closest allies and toghether they launched a desperate last assault on the mage's fortress, the battle was grueling, some of the hero's companions perished along the way, but, at last the only ones left standing were the hero and the mage, their battle made the whole fortress tremble, the clouds in the sky dissapeared one by one every time they clashed, at the end, the last one standing was none other than the hero, after the mage was gone all that was left were the creatures which the hero started calling "Myths", with all the power he had left after the fight, the hero sealed the Myths in separate dimensions from which they came from and locked them behind magical gates, many were fearful that one day those gates were to open again, thus some of the survivors of the hero's party decided to create a way to monitor the gates and in case they be opened again send some capable mages to deal with the problem, later this measure would be called the guild system.
And what about the hero? who was he? what happend to him? all that we know is that his legacy lives through his successors, every fifty years or so a new hero is born into the bloodline, a child who has a gigatic mana pool and who is capable of incredible feats, each with their own unique power, the first hero had all physical attributes maxed out and a control over fire, not mention incredible magical knowledge, the Second heroine was a master with the sword, capable of cutting anything with any sharp tool, the Third hero was a master of all magical beasts, not only he could comunicate with them and make them obey, he also was capable of using their power by fusing with them, the Fourth her-.
The sound of the TV behind the shop window started to fade away as soon the boy watching it started to walk away, his way from school to home was always the same, he would take the Shibuya train station to get home in Shinjuku, on his way home the boy always enjoyed the view he had from the train window, he loved that urban view of the buildings, specially the Shinjuku Skyscraper and the Tokyo Tower, the view always filled him with wishful toughts and dreams.
Toughtful boy: beatiful as always, i wonder how does it feel to enter in those buildings, although soon i will be entereing that one.
As soon as he thought that, the aftermentioned building comes into view, a massive building with a enormous "G" on it's center, that was the guild headquarters, the boy upon seeing that building felt uneasy, not because he was intimidated by it's cheer size nor he felt like entering it would be like his first day statring on a new school, no, he never enjoyed being the center of attention, but, he knew that that was inevitable once he stepped foot inside the guild headquartesrs, "why is that you ask? Well to put it simply he was a special case.
Toughtful boy: it's gonna be hectic tomorrow that's for sure, well i guess that's understandable, after all, finally after so long the presence of the tenth hero will be made public.
Shortly after disembarking, the boy makes his way home by calmly walking through the neighborhood were he lived, observing his surroundings which to him which filled him with that sense of familiarity, in his mind he kept thinking that this calm will never be the same after tomorrow, the boy and his family lived in a peaceful neighborhood close to all the hustle and bustle that you normally would see in Shinjuku, but, far enough as to not be afeccted by it, on his way home you could see some very intriguing sights on the neighborhood, like people flying around, people lifiting their car with nothing more than the power of their mind, funny enough the only reason this person did that was always to look for their house keys, anyways, everywhere you looked you will always see magic being used on some way shape or form.
The boy lived in a relatively normal two story house, on the front gate there was a sign with the name of the Densetsu family, the boy lived with his parents and younger brother, upon entering home the boy takes of his shoes and informs his family of his arrival.
Toughtful boy: I'm home.
