《EverLast(Stopped)》Chapter 4- Training
Advertisement
(Note Switched the word continent with kingdom.)
Inside of Burich’s home, Hector realized that the inside looked bigger than it looked from the outside. Accepting Burich’s invitation to sit, Hector sat down on a wooden chair and began to inspect the room he was in. The walls were made out of wood and decorated with weapons of all sorts. There were axes, swords, bows, shields and other weapons.”Are these magic weapons?” I asked myself in a low murmur. “Oh no they’re just normal weapons, I just really like the way they looked.” Burich said across the room while messing with a weird machine.”How did he hear me?” Hector wondered.
“Do you want coffee?”Burich asked. “Coffee?” Hector replied in confusion, Hector heard that word being spoken by some nobles before, but never knew what it was.
“Oh, right hehe. Coffee is a beverage, you know…” He paused for a second to think.”Like tea. Im pretty sure you’ve heard of tea before?”. “Yes.”. Hector nodded. Tea was cheap and easy to make, so his mom made a lot of it.”But no, I don't want any, thank you.”
“Do you know why you’re here kid?” He asked,”Training.” Hector replied. While feeling his long white beard, Burich looked at Hector and asked,”Is there a reason you want to be a knight?”
Hector thought for a second,”To make my family proud and help them financially.”
“...”
Burich continued looking at Hector as if he expected more.”Thats all?” Burich said.”You don't want fame? You don't want Power? You don't want women?, Women!?!, hmm you are very different to the others.”,”Fine kid, follow me.” Burich said as walking towards a double door. Burich opened a door that lead outside, to his back yard.”Wow, this place is huge!” Hector said in amazement, how can someone’s backyard be this big, Hector began thinking.”If I layed down, 10 of me could lay down in a line.”, Burich raised his head, Proudly.
“Do you have a magic weapon boy?” Burich asked and Hector nodded. “Bring it out.”,
Hector began to concentrate on his dark silver ring, and in his mind he said,”Night’s Edge!”

silver light began to swirl around his hand and afterwards a flash of light appeared. The strange sword appeared in his hand as he looked at Burich. “Hmm, that is a strange sword… But how did you release it? you didnt say its name…?” Burich asked thinking.”I thought about its name…”
Hector replied.
“Voiceless release… That’s a high ranking skill… Well thats good, saves me time teaching that to you. Seal the weapon we will start training now.” Burich suggested. After Hector sealed his weapon, Burich started walking away saying,”Now give me 100 push-ups when you’re done come find me inside.” and then he entered the house.
“...”
Hector stood there, thinking desperately.”What! I can barely do 10 push ups, and he wants me to do 100?!”, Hector began to sweat. Burich’s head popped out of the door with a smile on his face and said,”Oh! you are only allowed to drink coffee. And if you want to eat, you better be finished the pushups!”. “Torture… This is torture…” Hector thought to himself and began trying to do the pushups.
3 days have passed and hector has making huge progress, the coffee made him faster and more willing to workout,”What sorcery is this?” he always asked himself. “98”, “99”, “100!” Hector finally finished and stood up, even though he had just finished he still had energy. Hector walked inside the house and spotted Burich, sitting down drinking coffee, reading a paper that was on his hands.
“Im done Teacher.” Hector said with excitement, Burich looked at him, but his face still faced the paper and said.”Go to the kitchen, to your left and eat something, and afterwards go to your room, located right next to the kitchen and take a shower, you really smell. When you feel better do 100 sit ups, and when you’re done that do 100 jump squats.”, Hector didn't complain, in fact he looked forward to these exercise. If this made him better he would be able to become a better knight and help his mom out.
Hector went to the kitchen and noticed a huge golden chicken, just now did he notice the delicious smell that made his mouth water. Beside the kitchen were rice and beans, a mountain of fruits were farther behind the kitchen. Hector quickly ate all of the food on the table.”I can’t believe I almost died of hunger!”, he said with a mouthful of food. After he was done, he took a rest and quickly went to his room.

Just like the rest of the house the walls were made with wood but it wasn't decorated, the room was plain, with just a window and a bed. He noticed a door to the right of the entrance, he figured it was the bathroom and entered it. The bathroom had a cinnamon smell to it. There was a Bath at the end of the room. Near the door was a sink with a mirror and a toilet next to it. Hector took off his shirt looking at the mirror. Hector noticed that his body changed a little, Muscles formed around his torso and arms. He examined his face, filled with dirt. His pale skin and his shadow black hair was dirty, from the training, “I guess I do need to clean up” Hector said as he walked to the Bath.
A few days passed again and hector have also finished these exercises, but this time he took a long rest after finishing them. Noticing hector was done, Burich walked over to Hector holding a bag.” Put these on.” Burich said as he took out a few things out of the bag. The first thing was a vest, and as Hector put that on he was able to feel the weight, of the vest. It was almost 40 pounds and if it wasn't for his exercises he probably wouldn't be able to wear it. He also received bracers and leg bracers the same weight as the vest and Hector was having a hard time moving. “ Now do all of those exercises with these weight on.” Burich said with a smirk in his face. Without complaining Hector tried, “1”,”2”, “Bang” He fell to the ground unable to hold up the weight, but he didn't give up. He tried again.
2 Months have passed and Hector was able to move around freely with the weight on. It was like the weight became a part of him, the weight strangely enough had no weight. Through those 2 months Hector’s body changed, even though with clothes on he still looked a bit skinny. When he took off his shirt the Muscles could be seen. Hector also got really close to Burich, and they were like close friends.”Hey Teacher are you a knight or just a trainer, and what is the current situation with the war against the demons?” Hector asks as he was laying down on the grass after finishing a few workout. Sipping his coffee as usual Burich answered.”Kid, I was one of the best knights in the our nation nation. Right now our kingdom of Nora is in war with the demons. But we arent the only want the demons wants a piece of, our kingdom’s neighbors are also our allies in the battle against these demons. Lilith and Lonz, even though they are small kingdoms as well they have strong knights.”
“Demons aren't easy to fight against, that is why we haven’t won the battle yet. The demons just like knights are ranked based on their powers, from F to S. But demons aren't always in the for of monsters, some take the form of humans and others are even special weapons.” Burich finishes speaking.”Wow… But wait… If you were one of the strongest knights in this Kingdom, why are u here, and not helping the Kingdom?” Hector asked. Burich put his cup down, something he rarely did, and his usual smiley face turned serious.” The reason I stay here and not fight is because, I lost my special weapon…”.” Why not get a new one?” Hector suggested and felt his ring get hot.
“Special weapons arent toys! and once and individual gets close to their weapons its hard to be with a new one… I tried but… None of them were like my “Golden Protector”. “I apologise.” knowing that Golden Protector was his weapon Hector didn't ask much anymore. “Now lets get back to training.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
