《The one above all》Prologue

Somewhere in Marsa...
I wake up after what seems to be centuries. I feel sluggish, like after drinking so much. The weirdest part, it seems that I can't move or in fact, see anything, just complete darkness. But how is this even possible, I think to myself. I died on my bed, with my wife and children surrounding me. I was a King, an Emperor in fact, since; and I am proud to say, that I ruled an entire Continent, the Continent of Marsa. But back on track here, where... am I exactly?
I try to move as fiercely as possible, maybe I'll be able to get out of one situation, but it was to no avail. Tssskkk... Fine, I was hoping to get out of this without having to use my powers but it seems I won't be getting anywhere in that situation. I activate my "Emperor's Command", which allows me to control every living thing in a 2 mile radius. Yes I know, OP right? Well, what more do you expect from someone who mostly alone combined an entire continent the size of Earth's Land mass altogether. Of course I'm not immortal either, I'm like any other human being, I can die from an arrow in the right spot or blast from a Fire Ball, I just have one power that makes me different from the others.
Back to the situation, Of course I didn't control everything, just a couple, what seems to be wild dogs in the area. I command them to release me from my current situation, and sure enough they gather to my area in a blink of an eye. Although I can't see, I am able to somewhat check my surroundings from the wild dogs point of view. They gather to my area which is just a plain field in what seems to be surrounded by trees all around. Wait...What? Where the hell am I exactly? Don't tell me I'm under...fucking ground. I swear on...tchh whatever, what more do you expect from a person whose suppose to be dead. Well I should wait, it'll probably take them a while to reach me anyways.

After a while..."Ruff, RuffRuffRuff!!!" Its time, I think to myself. Although I still can't move, I can feel that the 'pressure' around me has lessened. I Commanded the dogs to free me so they should still be under effect, but they're close to doing so. A couple seconds later, a light shines through to what seems to be a crack on a wooden cover of sorts. All my senses have been extremely dulled where I'm literally relying on my powers to function as a somewhat normal being, so I can't really hear, feel, smell and taste for that matter. Slowly the light increases, and soon enough a bunch of Wild dogs stare at me in the face with drool coming out of there mouths and landing on my face and neck. Oh god, why is everything going from bad to worse? But with the light giving me somewhat of a relief, I come to the conclusion of where I am. I'm in a wooden coffin...wait wooden coffin? I'm a fucking Emperor! Shouldn't I be in a Coffin made of Gold and Diamonds? I also figure out why I couldn't move, it seems my whole body was wrapped in "Dulling string", where it dulls and if left in contact for a long time, can extremely affect someone's senses. Something used by Assassins and such.That's probably why I was feeling sluggish.
The dogs bite the strings off and I try standing up, but immediately fall down. Ok, take it easy Vale, Slow and easy. I really want to get out of here, so I immediately command my senses to come back, Wish I could of done it before but the string was also affecting my Powers to a certain degree. I was able to command the dogs since they use up less of my power but commanding myself, would require much more. As I slowly walk out of the huge hole in the ground they made, my senses slowly come back and something catches my surprise. I'm YOUNG AGAIN!!? Ok, someone's got a whole lot of explaining to do! I can't believe it! My old Black hair is back! Oh how much I missed my black hair. I regained my prime height of 6'3, which is pretty tall in my Empire and I also gain back my average physique as well. Believe it or not, I was also a pretty good looking guy. Of course out of everything, the most likely to catch attention would be my Golden eyes which symbolize Royalty. I should probably change them to black for now since I don't really know my situation, or how long I've been asleep.

After getting over my sudden young reappearance, I finally come back to what I should really be worried about, having an idea of where I am. The sun in the sky is young, which means I have a whole day in front of me. I start walking towards the tree line that I felt, during my 'Emperor's Command', had a much larger amount of power condensed in that area than any other, which means some sort of civilization exists. "Ohh, I should probably release the dogs before I head anywhere. Wait...their wild dogs so I should probably kill them instead or else they'll attack me as soon as I release them. Emperor's Command! Kill Yourselves!" I say, loud enough for the dogs to hear. Soon after, the dogs start sprinting towards the treeline. Ohh I love giving broad commands because the random possibilities excite M-CRACK! I stay their speechless. To think that they would run at a tree full speed, and kill themselves by cracking their necks. " Hahaha, That's a first." I laugh to myself while muttering those words. I start walking towards the treelines thinking of my next moves, "First, gather Information about what year and area I'm in, then I should probably head towards my Capital, wait no, low profile first. I guess earn money, since I didn't die with money on me. Then I should probably go to an all you can eat inn and stuff myself to the max! Ohh how much I love food. Then I should-----
Town of Winslow, Country of Trianta
While sitting in my seat, and giving the all-famous Death stare at the students, they all stay still and calm soon after.
"Ha, works every time." I mutter to myself.
I work at the only school this town has, ever since I was kicked from the Royal Palace. "A defective product they called me, Unbelievable." I think to myself. So what, I'm a little interested in Dark Necromancy, it's not like I'm gonna try it.
"Mr. Serin, are we still learning about the War? Its super boring!" One of the students say across the room, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Of Course Janice, it's essential for all of us t-." I stop mid sentence. I suddenly feel a strong, I mean extremely strong, probably stronger than anyone in the Royal Army's Presence. The white hairs on my body stand up straight, and my eyes widen over this sudden surge of power. A couple seconds later, the power disappears without a trace. The students can't feel it since they all can't use magic, but those who can, will be in for a wild tale to tell.
"Who on Irena has their power strong enough to make their presence, seem like the end of the world?" I say to myself while shuddering over the thought.

Tales of a Grim World.
Ancient prophecies say that once every thousand years, one shall rise to bring about a new age of darkness. A harbinger of evil, a being born for the sole purpose of sowing misery and disgrace. Through them, the world shall know of war, famine, pestilence and death— the four seals that herald the end of times. Besieged by the maws of evil, humankind shall suffer in agony as they watch everything they once knew be unmade before them. To oppose such a being, the whole world has had to stand united, in the battles that came to be historically known as the Great Holy Wars. Guided by the Saintess of Irithel, brave heroes coming from the four corners of the world had to sacrifice their lives in order to fight against the Harbinger and cast away the darkness. Our story begins in the year 578, a bit over six hundred years since the end of the fifth holy war. In the kingdom of Valtia, a small nation belonging to the Union of Western Kingdoms, an urgent missive bearing the royal seal arrives at the hands of Earl William Taylor. Though it might still be almost half a millennia too early for another Harbinger to be born, dark clouds already loom over the northern continent of Gram, as many bizarre events start taking place. Follow the story of our main characters as they struggle to survive in a grim, unforgiving world. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Warning: This work is intended for mature audiences and contains adult scenes and heavy descriptions of violence and gore.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
