The Kingdom of Aturia
In the kingdom of Aturia, one of the classmates summoned to this world… Jarreck was known as the Nightmare Terror. In the kingdom of Aturia, he was so powerful that every knight and hero party feared him. He was blessed by the Grandmaster of Darkness, giving him power that posed him as a great threat to every light hero. He was the embodiment of darkness… born to rival every hero with light and good powers.
Jarreck: Hmmm… since I came into this world, I've been nothing more than dominant over every party and hero in this kingdom. I heard there are many kingdoms with stronger armies and capable warriors… Kingdoms like Nacia, the largest kingdom in all of Lumeria, then the second largest, Brugia… I need to pay a visit to one of them. I believe most of my classmates will be there.
That guy… Dranexx. Yes, he seems quite powerful. That guy has the guts to challenge a Grandmaster not just any Grandmaster, but one among the top 7. That guy is crazy… but I am even crazier with my powers.
I don't think I'll see anyone that can defeat me in this kingdom… but I don't know about the other kingdoms. I am the strongest here, but outside of here… I don't think so. I'm sure there are more powerful people out there…
Well, if I have to grow stronger, I need to evolve my unique skill…
His unique skill is called "Counter." It has only five powerful sub-skills:
Physical Counter, Reflection of Despair, Tactical Counter, Backstab Emergence, Shadow Slip.
He also possesses extra skills like Pain Nullification, Holy Magic Resistance, Ultra-Speed Healing, and Multi-Layer Barrier.
These were very powerful abilities that allowed him to defeat many parties and heroes. When Aturia was at war against Narukia, he was the one who easily conquered their armies. He single-handedly killed 78,000 soldiers like it was nothing… and defeated five heroes.
He became known as the Nightmare Terror in the kingdom of Aturia. His abilities were so strong that even heroes feared him.
Let's talk about his abilities:
"Reflection of Despair" is the most powerful ability in his arsenal.
When fully activated:
Every action taken against him by multiple enemies creates a dark replica of that action. He can hit multiple enemies at once. Even coordinated attacks are mirrored into chaos.
Next is "Physical Counter."
A powerful ability…
Any direct strike (sword, punch, projectile) can be:
Reflected back stronger,Absorbed to heal or empower him,Twisted to hit an ally….Thirdly, "Tactical Counter."….This ability allows him to predict enemy moves through subtle cues and nullify strategies.Traps backfire,Ambushes turn against attackers…Coordinated attacks fail
"Backstab Emergence" allows him to emerge directly behind enemies from their own shadows for surprise attacks.
"Shadow Slip" allows him to instantly enter a shadow and reappear within a short range, like teleportation.
These are incredibly powerful abilities that allow him to defeat heroes. His name reigns throughout the two kingdoms.
Jarreck: Pttth… what's the point of staying here waiting for war to come? I might as well go find it myself… Somehow I might get lucky and even run into one of my classmates. It will be a legendary day for me. It's either they kill me that day… or I kill them. I don't care anymore. In this world, we can do whatever we want… so it doesn't matter who I run into—I will fight them.
His goal was to dominate all his classmates who were summoned with him. He didn't care how powerful they were or if they were weak. All he wanted was to dominate them and show them who's boss.
After that, he went to visit the king of Aturia, Madura Akumiho.
King Madura: Wait… you want to go explore the outside kingdoms? Surely you mean the whole of Lumeria, huh?
Jarreck: Yes, sire.
King Madura: But why?
Jarreck: You see, I've grown too bored since the last war between Narukia and our kingdom. I long for more battles to dominate… then I had an idea. If I want that, I have to travel far beyond my reach outside the kingdom of Aturia. I know there are strong people out there… but there's something I need to take care of. That's why I must go.
King Madura: Ahhh… well, you are the strongest warrior in our kingdom. The war is over now since we defeated Narukia. I doubt they'll bother us for another hundred years… Still, are you going to stay long?
Jarreck: That, I don't know… but I will surely come back. You have nothing to worry about you still have Achiku and the rest of the knights.
King Madura: Yes… but your power is needed. Still, we'll be fine. I will supply you with money and food. Please be careful we all need you alive.
Jarreck: Sure… I'm not going down easily, your highness.
King Madura: I know that. So, when will you leave?
Jarreck: Tonight, sir.
King Madura: Hmmm… so soon? Alright then. Kupita, arrange his departure and prepare everything he needs.
Kupita: Right away, sir.
King Madura: Stay strong out there, Jarreck.
Jarreck: I will, sir.
King Madura: My daughter will be worried… have you told her?
Jarreck: Not yet. I'll do that now-
"No need."
A voice echoed from behind. It was the king's daughter, Kyo.
Kyo: I can't believe you're leaving us just like that…
Jarreck: I'm sorry for dropping this unannounced… but I have to. It's personal.
Kyo: Personal? You can't even share it with me? That's not fair…
Jarreck: I'm sorry.
Kyo: So you're going to stay long?
Jarreck: Yes.
Kyo: How long?
Jarreck: I don't know… but I promise it won't be that long.
Kyo: No. Set a date or I'm going with you.
Jarreck: No, you can't. It's too dangerous. We don't know what we might run into.
Kyo: That goes the same for you! Do you even know what you're walking into? There are beings out there that can defeat you easily… they won't even break a sweat. I know you're strong, but please… don't do this, Jar… please.
Jarreck: I'm fully aware… but that won't stop me. I'm sorry.
Kyo: So that's how it's going to be?
Jarreck: …I'm sorry.
Kyo: Fine. Do whatever you want. I don't care anymore… but promise me you'll come back safely!!
Jarreck: I promise.
Kyo: Good… I just wish you'd tell me what's so important…
Jarreck: It's personal. Besides… I'm doing this to protect you and this kingdom.
Kyo: Hmmm… I don't like this at all…
King Madura: Kyo, let him be. I have complete faith he'll return safely.
Kupita: Everything is prepared, sir.
King Madura: Good. Jarreck, everything is ready. Go spend some time with your wife-to-be before nightfall.
Kyo: Dad come on!
King Madura: Ahhh come on… he's your future husband. You two should enjoy yourselves. Who knows when you'll meet again? Make the most of it.
Their faces turned red as they both left the throne room.
Jarreck: Honestly… the king can be such a pain sometimes.
Kyo: He's right though.
Jarreck: Huh?
Jarreck stood there in shock as Kyo stood before him, vulnerable… his face turning red.
Kyo: Let's spend this time together… please.
Jarreck: …Okay.
Kyo: Thank you.
She kissed him, pulling him closer… and they both fell onto the bed together.
Night fell.
It was time for Jarreck to leave.
King Madura: Why can't you just stay?
Jarreck: I can't… but I'll be back soon. I promise.
King Madura: Kyo, won't you say goodbye?
Kyo: Hmph.
Jarreck: I'm leaving now… see you.
Kyo: …Be careful.
Jarreck: I will. Thank you.
He left the kingdom… beginning his journey to conquer his classmates.
A new entertainment had begun.
Jarreck: Tst… what nonsense. Thinking I would marry that spoiled princess… kuhahahaha. I was just playing along for my own needs. After all… she's got some good qualities. I enjoyed my time today… she felt the roughness something she'll never forget.
Ahhh… I'm definitely going to miss her body. The fun we had… every single day… hahahaha…
Hmm… now I think I'll look for something new.
Kuhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
