Location Unknown

“I am satisfied,,, for what I’ve done now,,,” A lowering voice echoed from the horizon.
A man with incomplete set of advance technological armor falls from the skies as the wind pressure blows to his coat, some part of his deep black coat are burning, blood appeared in the side of his top, from his below, his broken high frequency blade start to dim glow as it is the only memento left for him by his fallen allies, his fair face reveals, cold blue eyes, pointy nose, chiseled cheeks, and tender lips, his black brushed up hair that keeps fluttering due to intense wind breeze of his fall.
Above him is the exploding floating castle, a home of the world villain he kill few moments ago, as his vision grew hazy, he just make a faint smile for his bitter end victory, he will fall to death namelessly due to his mysterious motive to hide his plans as a villain, he choose this way of evilness in order to avoid exposed his true intentions to save people.
Now that his plans are well laid and the true enemies never expected that they are already fall in his trap and game, the heroes gain a huge advantage because of this and the risk and death of civilians reduced greatly, although the heroes doesn’t know from the start that he was the one who pulled this strings at the backstage and enigmatic formulate this three steps ahead of them.
The plan was so confusing and very complex, making destruction to a whole city at every country, but the ruckus must start to the abandoned buildings and few visited establishment in order to make devastation with less kill and injured citizen, hacking the system and making a black propaganda to exposed the truth to the citizen in order to make a revolution.
Guiding the heroes to his den in order to reveal his sly play and give hints about what is truly happening to the world, taking a well planned villain fall battle, faking his death, leaving traces of evidence about the real villains and corrupters of power, and to making sure that plan goes well, he made another villain identity and use other methods to cover his tracks and exposure.
Setting alone himself in dark alleys, making assassination of some esteemed powerful people of higher society due to their collaboration with the most wanted syndicates and plunder all the riches they have in order to fund his plan and help the poor and suffering individuals who are really in need, also he also make sure that he can escape without being detected by the authorities as he leave them some documents and evidences about this corrupted people’s malicious crimes.
As for the final phase of his plan, by means of using the heroes to follow his track to the center of darkness, to reveal his plans and motives and let the actors step up on the stage, taking down the real villain of this cruel and unfair world, but the battle is too intense and catastrophic, the enemy was so powerful, leaving him in one option.
“So this is what it feels like,,, when you face your true death,,, pathetic” He spoke again as he closed his eyes.
To battle through the death, unleash everything he have on his sleeves, to reveal his full throttle of power and show to the world what is his true will and strength looks like, revealing himself to the heroes who thought of him being dead already, he then fight with full force as he make an opening for them to escape due to the floating castle is about to explode when it reaches its limit to hold such devastating explosion.

His dark power unleash, covering himself and powering him almost exceeds his limit, they battle with his enemy who can control all the matter of existence, as the heroes who are now full of regret and pity to this heroic villain, they feel the guilt of leaving a savior to his death in order to save their lives, forgetting his existence and continued to breath for tomorrow.
The fight was so intense with exchanging devastating blows, destroyed the colossal and massive infrastructure of the huge floating castle, as the dark energy and vortex energy explodes everywhere, but in the end, our nameless hero who is framed villain himself stand for triumph as he luckily chopped into pieces this wretched havoc lover villain.
“I have no regrets,,, even if they don’t honor me,,, I’m already contented” He spoke again as he held in his hand a pocket watch, given by his dearest old friend.
“Die too young and such bland life,,, an empty existence,,, heh” He finishes as his figure enveloped in light, with total acceptance of his death without honor of the others and start to become a wisp of scattered vortex power and spreads to the skies.
He thought it was his end, as he open his eyes, at first it was a total darkness, he just chuckled, as if he already know that the god father’s judge upon him is to send him to despair and suffer for his past sins and crimes which he expected already, but suddenly within in that flash, light suddenly showed up, he cover his eyes with his hands.
When everything is seems back to normal, he found himself standing at side of the brick made road, at the highest pavement to the top of it, As he shifted his gaze to the wide steeped build city, currently he is standing of the dusty road of somewhat renaissance period place, where tall houses made of marble and different kinds of well refine stone and finest wooden houses, with numerous well tinted glass, various decoration that well made by a fine craftsman, many people walk with dress of old ages, magnificent carriages pulled by well trained horses and guided by astounding coachman, one can tell that these people are seems out of fantasy structure.
“More than meets the eye,,, death is been halted,,, the meaning?” He spoke to himself as he gains his composure and a hint of little confuse of his bitter end, he notice his coat is not burning anymore but his chest still hurt.
His eyes cannot believe what he really witness, almost he felt that he was just dreaming, occasionally before, he hit himself to be awaken, but everything is real, without any other options, finding himself lost in another world as he summarize the earlier events around him and thought for so long and find any hints and clues about what’s happening around him.
Curiosity takes him, when the light vanishes, he found himself standing at the meadow in broad day light, even though back then earlier, he is about to die and face his last breath and suddenly this is somewhat strange and unbelievable phenomena happen, he suddenly realize that he was transported to another world, looks like the God Father has a plan for him.
“All of thing that may happen,,, Father why?” He muttered as he looks to the deep wide skies, trace of unyielding frustration.
Currently he is standing of the dusty road of somewhat renaissance period place, where tall houses made of marble and different kinds of well refine stone and finest wooden houses, with numerous well tinted glass, various decoration that well made by a fine craftsman, many people walk with dress of old ages, magnificent carriages pulled by well trained horses and guided by astounding coachman, one can tell that these people are seems out of fantasy structure.
