Chapter 3-THE START OF A RAISING KING

After being banished, Renzo wonders the forest looking for his sister and Fenris. After hours he sees them on a small log. Renzo walks them and hugs her tight. He looks at her and kisses her forehead.

Renzo (he starts to cry while smiling.): "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect them. I'll make them pay, each on of them will pay."

Mina she looks at him confused and smiles. Fenris walks to Renzo and tries to pull him down, as he leans down, it's tail creates a mask that looks like a seal. Renzo takes it and he looks at it.

Renzo: "What's this for?"

Without waiting, he puts it on and a massive glow flashes around the forest and he starts to feel his powers that was flowing around his body, goes inside him. He looks through the mask and his vision is still the same, Fenris pulls him into the cave he first found him. As they enter Fenris starts to close its eyes and Renzo does the same. Then the world around them pauses, Renzo opens his eyes and he looks around to his surprise everything has paused, time, space, and universe. Renzo looks at Fenris.

Renzo: "What's going on? Oh yeah I forgot you can't speak."

Just as he is about to get up, Fenris speaks in a calm and cheerful voice.

Fenris: "Don't be so sure about that."

Renzo (he looks at Fenris with a shocked expression.): "What the? How are you able to talk?"

Fenris: "Why are you surprised? I am an actual beast God. And wasn't this what you wanted, to be reborn in another world, Themba?"

Renzo (a dark smile forms on his as he looks at Fenris.): "How the heck did ya even know my former name?"

Fenris: "Let's just say I knew you were gonna come here."

Renzo (he looks at Fenris with a nervous smile.): "Fine, but I need answers. But first I wanna know about this world and its powers and origin."

Fenris: "That's fair, well listen closely. This world was created by three beings, the demon King, some say he is a lord, the great dragon, and God. Each have their own realms and are able to bless humans with their power creatings like overlords, demibeast and angels. When you came you got blessings from all three of them and three other beings."

Renzo: "So, since I have their blessings, which means I have all of their powers?"

Fenris: "You do, but you haven't access them yet. The one you were able to use was your own powers. See this world is like a system, and you almost broke that system."

Renzo: "Okay, how do I access them?"

Fenris: "This is actually why I made this timeless void, but first you have to access yours."

Renzo: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Fenris: "I have one question before we begin. What are you gonna do with that power, will you became evil and get revenge or will you became a hero? Whatever you choose, I'm gonna be with you till the end."

Renzo (his lips form an evil and menacing smile again.): "Kindness was never my thing, I wanted to start a normal world, but they took my parents away. Then there is no need to be kind anymore, they'll all pay, I'm gonna kill them all."

Fenris: "Then let's begin."

From that time, Renzo trained under Fenris and he grew stronger in every second that passed. Renzo is able to control and use his own powers now, his clothes are torn and ripped. Before Fenris could resume time, he gives Renzo new clothes made by him that can handle his powers.

A high-collared, sleeveless long black overcoat with deep violet and gold embroidery. It is made of void-silk that won't burn or tear, even during his Black Thunder attacks. The inner layer is a black off-the-shoulder shirt that fits tightly, showing his lean but powerful build, with the detached sleeves are separate black arm-warmers held by golden bands at the biceps that leave his shoulders bare, along with a fur scarf that has a thick midnight-black fur mantle draped over his shoulders. Fenris explains this fur is a manifestation of his own beast God protection. While the trousers are loose, baggy black pants that are gathered at the ankles, tucked into pure white boots with gold plating on the toes. The runic belt is a white rope belt shimenawa style tied in a heavy knot, which will eventually hold his legendary weapon. Fenris looks at him with a prideful expression.

Fenris: "Master Renzo, I think it's time I gave you your swords."

Renzo: "Which are?"

Fenris's tails start to glow and combine together, then as the they open, two swords appear and give them to him. The left one is the Phos (The Blessing Blade) it is a white-and-gold straight sword that glows with a faint celestial light that was forged from the combined essences of the Demon King, Dragon King, and God, it can do the realm-shift where it can switch between Demon mode (black flames), Dragon mode (unbreakable scales), and God mode (holy light). It has a system order which it works within the world's laws, allowing Renzo to use the high-tier magic Fenris taught him without breaking the universe. The right sword is the Skotos (The Null Blade) which appearce as a pitch-black blade that seems to absorb light around it. It has no guard and looks like a shard of the night sky which Renzo manifested directly from his own Sovereign Null power. It can do Concept Erasure which anything cut by this blade isn't just wounded; the reason for its existence is deleted and the Non-Existence where the blade can phase through any physical or magical shield because it technically doesn't exist in the world's system.

Fenris: "Not bad on creating your own weapons, they can help you with your spells. Now what about that one?"

Renzo: "Ohhh, this Katana? It's nothing special. I've always wanted to create one. I call it Apeiron."

Fenris: "You really are something else kid. I'm gonna unpause everything now, make sure you put that mask back on."

Renzo (he puts on his mask.): "By the way, besides the God, Dragon and Demon, am I the strongest in all multiverses?"

Fenris: "Nope, you are one of the strongest, while there is Matushka who is actually a God, so besides her the are actually three beings who are above you."

Renzo (an evil smile creeps under the mask.): "And who are they?"

Fenris: "Well the first one is Zucifer Morningstar from another universe, he consists twenty five forms stronger than you, then there is Ren Thabiso-Kurogane from another universe, he's the second strongest and above you, then the is Vindagor, he currently rules the Demon realm, alongside Vintage and Nyx who are in this universe."

Renzo: "Wait isn't Ren Thabiso-Kurogane a South African name? The Thabiso part, it's my former first name. But still, I'll kill them all."

Fenris: "I doubt it, the only people you would have trouble with are Zucifer and Ren. Their power can solo everyone."

Renzo: "Okay, let's go then. Ohh and by the way, don't tell Mina about our parents, I don't wanna see her sad."

Fenris: "I wouldn't look forward on seeing that myself."

Fenris unfroze time, the birds that stopped mid air flew again the leafs continued to fall. Renzo looks at his little sister through his mask.

Renzo: "Hey Mina, what do you think of my new look?"

Mina she smiled and closed her eyes as she clapped her hands together, a sign of cheerful and admiration.

Renzo (he walks to her and leans to her height.): "I'll make sure you can speak. I'll get your voice, even if it means I have to turn against the Kingdom, no even the whole world and Gods."

Mina looks at him confused and she looks and Fenris. She rushes to him and hugs him.

Renzo (he smiles under the mask.): "Guess you'll be her personal toy from now on. By the way where are we gonna go now?"

Fenris: "Are you not going to get your revenge?"

Renzo: "Not now, I need to rule the other realms."

Fenris: "Well we might aswell go to the Kingdom of Oakhaven."

Renzo: "Why that Kingdom?"

Fenris: "We can't let you walk around without an adventurous card."

Renzo: "Oh yeah I forgot about that."

The three of them walk out of the cave and Renzo looks at Fenris with a worried expression under the mask and Fenris notices.

Fenris: "What's the matter?"

Renzo: "Uhm nothing much, it's just that won't we catch unnecessary attention with your ten tails?"

Fenris: "You're right, but I can disguise myself as a normal puppy and only the two of you can see my real appearance, even the once I allow to see. Besides I'm not the only one to catch attention, you are."

Renzo: "What do you mean?"

Fenris: "I mean that mask, since I gave it to you it can become invisible, but you shouldn't be noticed."

Renzo: "You're right, let's go."

Fenris, Renzo and Mina walk through the forest and appeared at the main road. They started to walk towards their first destination. The trip takes a while and Mina starts to get tired, so Renzo decides to carry her. She falls asleep on his back and they continue to walk. As they arrive at the Kingdom they meet some guards at the gate who gave them trouble.

Guard 1: "Stop, who are you and what business do you have to the Kingdom?"

Renzo: "My name is Renzo, and I came here to sign in as an adventurer."

Guard 2: "How old are you kid? And what's with the mask?"

Renzo: "I'm fourteen years old, I'm ugly and I have to wear this mask, will there be a problem?"

Guard 2: "There's no problem kid, it's just you have to give us entry tax and business tax, which will be twelve gold coins."

Renzo: "What? Are you kidding me?"

Guard 1: "No kid, if you end up making a mess than we would use that money to pay for it."

Renzo: "Well I don't have any money."

Guard 2: "Well too bad, guess you have to go elsewhere."

Renzo gets angry and tries to beat them up, then Fenris walks to him and hands him a bag of gold coins. Renzo looks at him surprised and the guards smile.

Guard 1: "We'll be taking take thank you."

The guard takes the bag and opens it.

Renzo: "Will that do?"

Guard 2: "No kid each of us needs a bag."

Renzo (an evil smirk appears under his mask.): "Okay now I'm gonna...."

Just before Renzo could finish his sentence, a female voice approaches behind the guards.

???: "What's going on here?"

Guard 1 (he gets studdled.): "Huh? Ohh, commander Sera."

Guard 2 (he get's nervous.): "Uhmm... nothing commander. We were explaining to this young man about the Kingdom and it's adventurer's guild."

Renzo: "What?"

Sera (she walks passed them and bends to Renzo's face.): "Hmm? And who might you be?"

Renzo: "I'm Renzo, just Renzo."

Sera: "Just Renzo huh?" (She looks behind Renzo and her eyes lands on the sleeping Mina.): "Awww, and whose this little cutie?"

She reaches to cup Mina's face, but Renzo slaps her hand.

Renzo (an evil smile forms under the mask.): "Don't you dare touch her."

Sera gets startled and Renzo passes her and enters the Kingdom. Sera and the guards stand there suprised. Fenris walks besides Renzo and he looks at him.

Fenris: "What was that all about?"

Renzo: "I don't want anyone touching her."

Fenris: "Ohhh, I understand, you just caught me off guard."

Renzo: "Caught you off guard? Since when do puppies walk around with gold filled with gold coins."

Fenris: "My dear master, you must have forgotten, I'm the beast God, I can create anything."

Renzo: "Yeah well you should have not given them the money."

Fenris: "If I didn't they would have asked questions or didn't let us in."

Renzo: "True."

Renzo throws a bag that looks exactly like the one the guards took. Fenris raises his head and looks at him surprised.

Fenris: "Wait, master how did you get that bag?"

Renzo: "My dear as a powerful being, I knew those guards were lying about the tax, and besides when I passed through them I was able to take the bag with unseen speed."

Fenris: "Ohhh, why am I even surprised?"

Renzo: "Now where's this Kingdom's guil..."

Just as Renzo could finish his sentence, some hybrid with red long hair, a black trousers and light black shirt is thrown out of a hub and it lands on the floor. Renzo looks at the hybrid and at the guild. Then three muscled adventurers walk out of the guild laughing, the tall one walks to the hybrid and grabs it by the neck, the others surrounding the hybrid. Renzo ignores them and looks at the guild.

Renzo: "Found it."

As he is about to get in he sees the hybrid and it looks at him with pleading eyes. Renzo ignores it as he is about to enter the guild the tall adventurer speaks.

Tall adventurer: "Haa, not so tough huh? Without your dragon powers unlocked you aren't superior to us."

Renzo (he whispered.): "So he's a dragon hybrid huh?"

The talk adventurer tries to punch the hybrid it closes it's eyes, but ends up punching the air. He looks around and Renzo lands infront of them carrying sleeping Mina on his back, and grabbing the hybrid on it's collar. The tall adventurer gets angry and shouts.

Tall adventurer: "HEY BRAT, THIS ISN'T YOUR BUSINESS!!!"

Renzo (he looks at the hybrid through his mask.): "You okay?"

The hybrid nods and the adventurers walk towards Renzo.

Tall adventurer: "Hey kid why don't you and your stupid sister run to mommy and daddy?"

Renzo (his voice starts to get low and menacing.): "What did you just say? Say that again."

Tall adventurer: "I said, why don't you and your stupid sister run to mommy and dad..."

Before he could finish talking, Renzo kicks his chin and lands on a backflip and the adventurer falls back. Renzo softly carries Mina and hands her to the hybrid.

Renzo: "Watch her for me."

The other adventurers try to attack Renzo, but he is dodges them and appears behind them with demi God's speed. He flows behind them and kick them hard on their heads. They fall to the ground hard, Renzo lands on his feet, his hair and jacket flow with the landing. The talk adventurer towers Renzo and tries to hit him, Renzo looks at his through the mask.

Renzo: "Death Glare."

With just a simple glare under Renzo's mask, the tall adventurer trembles in fear. Renzo looks at the hybrid and walks to him and carries Mina on his back again.

Renzo: "Come with me, I need answers."

Renzo leads walks to inside the guild with Fenris and the hybrid follows him. As they enter the guild, many adventurers look at them and some whispered to each other. Renzo wakes Mina and they sit on an empty table. Renzo invites the hybrid to sit.

Renzo: "Okay now talk, who are you, where do you come from?"

Kael (he speaks in a soft deep voice.): "My name is Kael, I'm a dragon hybrid from the Dragon realm."

Renzo: "Why are you here?"

Kael: "I came here to join the guild, but those adventurers outside told me I couldn't. I presume you came for the same thing?"

Renzo: "I did, I'm actually on my own quest, I'm going to get an adventurers card and head to the Dragon realm."

Kael: "Ohh, can I come with you?"

Renzo: "Why?"

Kael: "I'm actually looking for guild partners and I want to get stronger. The way you took out those adventurers with ease, it got me to wonder... are you a normal human?"

Renzo (he leans his head on his left hand and smirks under his mask.): "I'm actually a normal kid, names Renzo Typhon, and I'm only fourteen years old."

Kael: "That's good, in order to get an adventurer's card you have to be twelve and above. So, will you accept me and train me?"

Renzo: "No can do."

Kael (he frowns and looks down.): "Ohhh, I get it, why would you, a powerful being would want to walk with a weak dragon hybrid like me."

Renzo: "Exactly."

Kael: "I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Kael gets up and slowly walks to the exit. The Renzo speaks.

Renzo: "But, if you're willing to became strong and do as I say I'll be happy to train you."

Kael (he turns around and dashes towards Renzo with a cheerful face.): "Really? Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you master Renzo."

Renzo: "Good, now take this and go buy us something to eat."

Renzo gives Kael five gold coins and he goes to buy some food. Fenris looks at Renzo with a confused expression.

Fenris: "Uhm, master why did you take him under your wing?"

Renzo (he looks at Fenris.): "Hmm? Didn't you notice? In his eyes, they were the eyes of someone rejected by his kind, he struggled to fit in with the pure blooded dragons. He is weak among the the dragon realm and no matter how much he tries he can't unlock his dragon powers. And besides, we'll be using each other, he is using me to get stronger and I'm using him to get and know everything about the Dragon realm, I'd say it's a win win wouldn't you say?"

Fenris: "I feel like you are the one with the wins."

Renzo (he laughs and the sound under the mask sounds hallow.): "Well, he is a kind guy, and he'll look after Mina when I battle tough opponents."

After a while, Kael returns with a massive plates filled with a lot of food.

Kael: "Here you are master."

Renzo: "Kael, you out did yourself, it's like you knew my appetite."

Kael: "Uhm, master, how are you going to eat with your mask on?"

Renzo (he pauses as he is about to grab the plate.): "Damn, I haven't thought of that." (Then an idea shocks Renzo's head.) "Ohh yeah, I could do that."

Kael looks at Renzo with a confused expression. The Renzo taps his left hand's finger at the table twice and time froze again. Then after two seconds he resumes time again. Kael looks at him as he adjusted his mask with a shocked expression.

Kael: "Master how did you eat so fast? I didn't even see you move."

Renzo: "It's simple actually, I paused time."

Kael: "YOU DID WHAT!!!???"

Renzo: "Shut up, did you get food for Mina?"

Kael: "Yes, I couldn't forget the young miss."

Renzo (he tilts his head to the side confused.): "Young miss?"

Kael: "Yeah, he is the sister of my master."

Renzo didn't say a word and woke Mina up and she slowly opens her eyes.

Renzo: "Hey sis, have some food."

Mina looks at him then at the food, her stomach growled and she put a finger in her mouth and points to the food.

Renzo: "Fine, I'll feed you."

Renzo slowly feeds Mina and she smiles happily, she looks at Fenris and takes a small bread and gives it to him. Then Renzo introduces Mina to Kael. After Mina finishes eating, Renzo looks at Kael through the mask.

Renzo: "Listen Kale, I want you to promise me something."

Kael: "Yes master, anything."

Renzo: "I want you to always protect Mina with your life. If she ends up getting hurt or scratched, I don't think I can handle myself. I might even turn this world into history."

Kael: "I promise master. The young miss will never experience pain or suffering."

Renzo: "Good, now to get ourselves adventurers card."

Kael: "By the way master, what should we call our party, since there is two of us plus the young miss and the uhh."

Renzo: "Ohh yeah, this is Fenris. He's our puppy."

Kael: "Of course and Fenris we need to have a party name."

Renzo: "Hmmm, how about the Typhon Eclipse."

Kael: "The Typhon Eclipse. Sounds perfect."

Renzo and Kael walk to the guild's receptionist leaving Mina playing with Fenris and ask for guild cards. Renzo puts a gold coin at the table and tells the receptionist to give him an F-rank card. The guild receptionist declines and Renzo smiles under the mask. Renzo kept on insisting until she agreed on one condition, Renzo will have to take the guild's crystal test, and she'll give him an F-rank card and his original card. Renzo agrees and takes the test. He places his left hand at it and at the first the crystal seems normal glowing, then it glows different colours, first red, then blue, then white and lastly black. The card forms and it's an S-rank card. Renzo takes it and the F-rank card and tells Kael to take the task. Kael places his hand and a C-rank card appears. Renzo and Kael walk back to their table and sat down.

Kael: "Master, Why did you want an F-rank card?"

Renzo: "I don't want some glory with just a card, I want it through my powers. Now, since you have a C-rank card well have to deal with it."

Kael: "Yes master."

Renzo: "We'll train tomorrow, right now I need to put Mina back to sleep."

Kael: "I know the perfect place for some rest."

Renzo puts Mina on his back again and follows Kael out of the guild. But someone is watching them, commander Sera watches them at a distance and follows them. Now the start of The Typhon Eclipse has began.
