《Cinder Souls II》The Undead Legion Rises Once More Part X. Chapter 20
Advertisement
Ryan walks out of his room and takes a look around him. In the hallway, there is 3 people standing near his door. The familiar face of Mountain brightens Ryan's mood as Mountain always wears a smile. Beside Mountain is a woman who seems to be in the older years of her life. Her pearly white hair and the wrinkles riddled on her face confirm Ryan's suspicions. The woman's smile looks genuine and her body looks frail as she clings to her staff desperately.
Next the to old woman is a smaller man who also has white hair but he looks younger than the woman next to him. He is uncaring and obviously doesn't want to be here. Ryan recognizes him as the man who Mountain was talking to in the cafeteria earlier.
"Hello everyone. What's up?" Ryan says to Mountain who has a eager face.
"Tio told me that you made the team and you told me to find some people to join so here you go." Mountain says while pointing to the people next to him. Ryan acknoledge's the people and the older woman is the first tot speak up.
"My name is Carmella, Rank A Mercenary. The man next to me is my disrepectful twin Carmello, Rank A Mercenary." the old woman tells Ryan but before Ryan could respond the man named Carmello butts in.
"Who are you calling disrespectful you old hag!" Carmello says in an angry voice.
"Old hag?! You were born first! The only thing young about you anymore is your personality because you act like a six year old child!" Carmella says while Carmello grinds his teeth back and forth and looks the other way in defeat. Ryan lets out a warm chuckle as he can easily find himself getting along with these people.

"I am glad to have you fine Mercenaries want to join me. May I ask what you are specialized in?" Ryan asks inquisitively. Mountain is the first to talk about his abilities.
"I have always been the tank of the group and I specialize in transformations. I hardly use any weapons as I pummel my enemies to the ground with my fists!" Mountain says with a spark of fighting spirit in his eyes. Ryan had figured this from his arm wrestling match with Mountain.
Transformation originated in Cinder Souls I and became very popular with any who wanted to fight melee combat and hit hard. The transformation lets you take the physical abilities of the monster throughout the world but puts a huge strain on your body. The side effects hardly matter back in Cinder Souls I but now that you can actually feel pain, it might be dangerous to use some of the more powerful transformations. Carmella is the next to speak up with a confident voice.
"I specialize in magic. I mainly use the crystal type of spells and can even buff your weapons and sheild with crystal enchantments! My only problem is that I'm not that mobile but this little old lady can pack a punch!" Carmella says with nearly shouting the last part to put extra emphasis on the word 'punch'. Carmello speaks up next as it is his turn.
"I am a rogue who is good at stabbing enemies from behind and escaping without being hit. You could call me a 'Nightblade' if you want a special name for my fighting style. Don't think I'll come and save you if you're in trouble though." Carmello says with a bored tone. The sound of a hand hitting the back of Carmello's head is heard as his sister decided to punish Carmello for being so rude. Ryan gives everyone a smile to show thanks for the information and he decides to reveal his specializations as well.

"I fight like a wolf. Verociously and mercilessly, never letting the opponent get a chance to breath by using my insane amount of stamina and speed. On top of that I am a very high level healer and user of lightning type miracles. With that being said our team is fairly solid. We have 2 possible ranged options, a tank, a healer, a rogue and a vanguard." Ryan says while putting his hand on his chin.
"So what is the name of our team?" Carmella asks with a sweet voice of a grandma. Ryan smiles as he is truly proud of himself for the name.
"The Undead Legion." Ryan says with confidence. Mountain's mouth opens wide and his eyes sparkle as if Mountain is a kid who got his favorite toy for christmas. Ryan knew that someone from Farron and who was so knowledgable about the legends would appreciate to join the army that started his country. Carmella seems a little worried though.
"Isn't that the army the Abyss Watchers led? Why would we take their sacred name?" she asks, being doubtful. Mountain quickly turns and decides to educate Carmella.
"This young man is a living Abyss Watcher. Can't you tell by his armor?!" Mountain yells. Carmella eyes Ryan up and down and gets the face like she had a life changing experience just happen.
"No wonder he said his fightin style is like a wolf! Just him being on our team will be enough to attract high level jobs!" Carmella yells with an excited voice. Carmello laughs at the discovery of Ryan being an Abyss Watcher.
"I can see why you were Rank A when you first became a mercenary, a living fucking legend wants to do jobs for the corrupt. What a sad day for all of us." Carmello says with a disappointed voice. Ryan gives Carmello a confused look and Mountain gives Carmello an angry look. Carmello lifts his hands in submission but deep down, Carmello believes that the Abyss Watcher should be hunting the Abyss rather than trying to get rich and famous by being a mercenary.
The sound of someone running towards Ryan can be heard behind him so Ryan turns around to see who it is. Tio is running down the hallway with a smile on her face. She walks up to Ryan and hands him 10 badges. On the badges, the name 'The Undead Legion' is stitched onto them. Ryan looks amazed as he didn't expect this to happen so early.
"How did you do all of the stuff so fast?!" Ryan says out loud. Tio smiles and giggles to Ryan's surpised voice. She puts a finger over her lips.
"It's a secret." Tio says with a michevious tone. Ryan smiles back at her and turns around to his new team.
"Well, it would seem it is official. The Undead Legion rises once more!"

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
