《Project Frost : Gate of All》1 - "A New Beginning"
Advertisement
It was dark.
It was cold.
As it always has been.
The prickling feeling of death that’s always biting at her. The distant warmth of life that she so yearned.
Her senses are starting to become aware. So does her mind. Yet the darkness still hasn’t dispel. No light came through. Where is she?
Knock! Knock! Scratch!
Stirring from her slumber, she felt her eyelids flutter yet she saw nothing but darkness.
Again, she heard the rattle from right in front of her. She breathes in and out.
‘... What is making that noise?’ she thought in her head as the rattling continues in such a persistent manner that it made the inhabitant of what feels like a box, turned slightly annoyed. Behind the seemingly thick layer in between her and the outside world, she heard a faint murmurs of someone talking and it’s about uniform?
“Agh!!! Why is this lid so hard to open?!” frustrated, the oddly child-like voice yelled as they banged on the lid. What lid? The one inside hardly knows.
“Hmph! If it comes to this then---!!!” the voice suddenly came to a halt and then,
FLARE!
Immediately panicked came to her like the fire that briefly illuminates the COFFIN?!
Wait why is she in a coffin?!
And why is there fire?!
The lid swung open and surprise of the one inside, what she saw right then and there is not a person, or at least not a humanoid being but a bipedal creature the height of a a six-months-old babe with silver flames around its neck to its perky ears and a pair of round huge silver eyes with cat-like pupils staring at her.
“Gyahh!!! Wait, how are you awake?!” the creature shrieked in a wild panic as it looked straight at the girl, youthful girl in a black uniform that he really want. Her platinum blonde hair disheveled as the look of confusion remained on her pretty face.
“A… dog? On two legs…?” the girl in the coffin murmured responded quickly with an offended look on the bipedal creature’s cat-like face - its whiskers all stood up as it hisses at the one inside the Coffin.

“Who the hell are you calling a dog?! I’m Cath! Anyway, gimme your uniform or I’ll burn you!” the creature calling itself Cath said with a wide grin. The girl from inside the coffin frowned. What uniform?
She looked down her body and saw the fully black school uniform she’s wearing. This is utter confusion. Why can’t she remember anything about anything at all? She looked around and to her surprise, she saw countless coffins floating around her very own coffin to the very top of what seems to be inside of a tower.
“Oi!!! Don’t you go thinking off far away in my presence, you dimwit human girl! Give me your uniform right now or I’ll burn you!” the creature, Cath threatened her again. Yet again, she gave it a frown.
“Are you deaf?! Or are you a mute?! Can’t you respond at all to me except for that frown!” Cath said again now a lot more annoyed than before.
“Sorry… I was wondering why a dog like you would want a uniform worn by a human” the girl flat out snapped Cath’s logic. She only stared with what looks like pity in her silver eyes as Cath froze before trembling ever so slightly as it stood in front of her.
“Y-You!!! Whatever, just give me your damn uniform!!!” it yelled and immediately everything around them burst into silvery flames that shocked the girl. She backed away feeling the abnormal seeping coldness around her. Her legs run off past the flames and outside of the tower - crashing towards the door in a frantic manner to try and escape the growing flames behind her. Only after a few steps, she fell flat to her face onto the ground.
The girl who hadn’t been able to cast off her initial confusion only looked at the tower going up in silver flames as the little monster walked out with a smug grin on its face.
“Nyahahaha!!! Tremble before Yours Truly might and ingenuity! Now obey me before I burn you too!!!” it announced with such pride, only to notice that the girl it was trying to intimidate was nursing her scraped elbows instead.

“OIII!!! Can you just pay attention to me for one goddamn second you---” it shrieked at the girl who was holding her head in her palms with the ever-present confused look on her face.
“Where… Am I?” she asked, tears falling from her eyes - making the creature look at her with a shocked look that was soon followed with troubled one.
“O-Oi! I know I’m scary but there’s no need to cry! Yours Truly won’t know what to do if you cry!” Cath said when it noticed the girl was already up and running away with her surprisingly fast legs.
“Wha?! Oi! How dare you trick me!!!”
Where is she?
Why is she here?
No, in the first place…
Who is she?
She honestly couldn’t think of any answers to her questions, her head is simply empty. It is either a fully black or white canvas and she is only confused. She trusts her instinct and run - as far as her legs could bring her from the creature.
What is it even?
A dog? But it walked on its two hind legs?
It looks more like a cat, but with a mane. A fiery mane.
She came to a stop after a while, simply crashing open a door her guts told her to and hide in there. She later finds out she was in what seems to be…
It’s a place with a lot of shelves and books. It was hardly dim but there are a lot of shadowed areas due to the amount of tall shelves lined in seemingly never-ending rows. Her shoulders heaved up and down in a slowing rhythm. What is this place called?
She concentrates, trying to form at least a semblance of thought in her otherwise completely empty head. Oddly enough, her body feels so light - fatigue didn’t even bother her after all those running around. Though, the damn fog in her mind is starting to make her a little frustrated.
“Hah! I found you! Do you think running in a library would save you from me?! The great and mighty Cath?!” the creature is at it again and it struck her then.
“AH! It's a library! How did I forget such a simple word!?” she said to the shock of Cath who looked more annoyed with every sentence that came out of the girl’s mouth. It screeched in frustration, gaining the girl’s immediate attention.
“FINE! I’LL BURN YOU! I’LL BURN YOU AND THIS WHOLE LIBRARY ALONG!!!” it screamed when suddenly a loud piercing whipping sound halt its rampage.
“GYAHH!!! WHAT IS THIS STRINGS?!” Cath shouted.
“It’s a whip. Hardly a string. Finally, I found you new student” a new unfamiliar voice attracted the attention of the two figure - one completely devoid of any proper semblance of thoughts in her head and another that wanted to burn everything.
“... New student?” the girl said, the baffled tone in her voice never so clear. The rather eccentric man wearing a mechanical bird mask and cloaked with a feathery coat. The second person she met that evening hardly looked normal either. First it’s a raccoon and now a bird man?
“Uh… This is such a weird dream” the girl said. She couldn’t even recall her own name. The pain fluttering about in her temples just become more and more intense each seconds passing.
What exactly is happening…
A girl woken from what seems to be a slumber, chased by an odd cat/raccoon-like creature standing on its two hind legs. And now, an unknown man wearing a bird’s mask appeared?
She closed her eyes, her breathing starting to calm as she stared ahead.
Her instinct hums within her as the pain in her head starts to feel like the phantoms causing it are now gone.
“... Live…” the soft chime in her head sounds like a calming chant moments before it completely disappeared from her mind.

8 312[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
