Fuck!.. Fuck!.. Fuck!.. Fuck!..

He starts running towards home through the blizzard.

His eyes were full of tears so he used his sleeves to remove them but the tears wouldn't stop and blur his vision.

Uhh... uhh... uh... I'm getting exhausted, will I make it on time?!

Stop thinking nonsense! There's no way for my parents to be harmed. Not yet.

It must be some thieves behind this. The enchanted magic stones are verified once in a while so the magic beasts can't bypass them.

Looking back.

The screams seem to be from the left side of the village near the gates so their attack has just begun. I will make it!

Let's see if the update made progress. I will have to use my magic soon.

The game-like window appears.

Now updating. Updating progress... 97%

Please wait...

Pretty close!

In the meanwhile on the other side of the village, the fire spread fast. On the snow, dozens of human corpses were lying. The shadows of the invaders could be seen extending from the ground to the remaining walls, because of the light coming from the fire, mutilating every guardian, woman, child or dog.

"Kids crying"

"Blade sounds penetrating the body"

"Mordurers, why are you attacking the village??" said a guardian

"Kill them all, save the village!" said a villager

A few moments later, the place became quiet.

"Wind blowing"

From the painted snow, the vapor rose to the sky, mixed with smoke and mist.

At the Whyte family's house, a figure entered the front door, with an ax in the left arm, with a large blade which people usually used to cut trees, and climbed upstairs hitting the border of each staircase that goes, with the metal head of the ax.

After climbing the stairs, its arms extend to the door lock nearby and open it.

Nothing inside.

The figure whose looks seem humanoid at first sight starts walking in the darkness of the house towards the next door at the end of the corridor having its arms extend forward 3 meters longer than before.

From its open mouth that makes a breath sound once in a while, saliva flows down mixed with something that looks like blood just that it's black. When the creature's hands reach the door, he tries to open it by rotating the lock.

The door is locked.

The creature's body reaches the door, retracting its hands and start making holes with the axe trying to break through it.

"The sound of a door that opens violently"

I see traces leading to the first floor.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

With every second passed by, with each step of the ladder, I saw in my mind some of the most precious moments of my life since I've been reborn.

I saw the moment when I've been born and saw my parents face.

"The door is opening"

Two figure enters.

"How do you feel, Ann?" Ask with an old voice.

Mom's figure seems a little surprised.

"Rewis dear, who is this old woman and why are you here?"

" I came to see my son, why wouldn't I came?" He said.

"Yes, I know but you supposed to be on guard right now... If the other guards find out..."

"Don't worry, they gave me...

(...)

"Our boy wants to say something, my dear." said father

"He just born and yet, he can't wait to grow. He is our light. We shall name him Masuda Shig (= shining), (Whyte) is the family name."

I saw the moment when ...

"Sound of footsteps"

I get scared when I feel something grabbing me from my waist. It's dad.

Wait, why are you home? I said surprised

Shouldn't you have something to do... like hunting?

He takes me in his arms and carries me around with a happy face thinking about the talent that I have then suddenly stopped as if he realizes something.

We are currently on the other side of the room on the window-side where the sun poop-up among the branches of flowering trees sending dozens of little yellow, red and orange rays through the window.

My dad grabs me again from his chest rising me up towards the window and say with a serious face:

"Hey, kid. Your father won't let you down! "

And when ...

My mom stayed with me every night till I fell asleep and every night she would tell me a new story, this story would be about the gods of this world...

She pulls my hair from my forehead and kisses me before I fall asleep.

"Mommy, please tell me a story so I can sleep."

"Okay my darling, but this is a sad story."

"It's ok, I want to know it."

"There was once 9 Gods. All of them ruled over these lands and every one of them had daughters and sons. When the time had come for their children to get married, every God wanted the best for their child's future so they had chosen the pair without thinking one second about the child's desire. The 9th God got pissed when his only child had no one to marry with so he asked the other Gods to reconsider but without luck. When the ceremony day came, one of the brides was missing. She was in love with the boy who was left without a bride so she took him and run away.

When the other Gods found out, they blamed the 9th God and fought to kill him. With the last breath, the 9th God cursed all the children of Gods to have ugly kids. After dying, the other Gods became very angry so they found his child and sealed him deep in the ground deep caves where he may not see the sunrise ever and killed the fugitive bride because she violated the tradition.

A long time after that, the kids became man and woman and they had kids. The Gods became stupefied when they saw the ugliness of their nephews, one was green with excess skin as if it was fatty and lost the fat and had ugly teeth, one was black with ears longer than their head and with sharp faces and one was white with the same characteristics, one had a tail and cat ears and looked exactly like a chicken hatched from the egg too early while other kids were more like beasts than humans ( a lot of hair, other without limbs and so on) so they decided to use magic to try to repair and make somehow look more beautiful or normal at least and blessed them to be proficient in magic.

When the 8th Gods died, their sons inherited their power and because they felt ashamed of the ugliness of their children, they left them here alone and left these lands not looking back ever again.

Over time, they evolved and became what we know now: Orcs, Ogre, Dark Elfs, Elfs, Reptiles, Dragons, Demi-Humans ( with tails and ears ), Humans and many more that are more beautiful or more ugly than what they were before.

All children were at the beginning proficient in magic and could use high spells because they had a great capacity of mana behind their mana gates but that became rarer and rarer with each generation.

So because of that, those who have a big capacity of mana they devote themselves to learn and fight as Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Bard, Cleric, Druid.

Those who do not have a big capacity of the mana devote themselves to the order of knight and use fighting skills that develop over time and become: Swordsman, Lancer, Archer, Assasin or Paladin.

There are limited spells that are not related to a specific class of magic user but once someone decides a class, he can't go back because every class has a different way of learning that can take years and no one can use the Druid's spell if he has another class. Switching classes means learning the new class from 0."

"So I want my little boy to remember this story in the future. Now get some sleep! I love you!"

"I love you too!"

I saw it all, I saw it and I couldn't stop thinking about what I would find in my mom's bedroom.

I was running with my little feet, I was running but I was feeling like something bad awaits me in the darkness of that room. My arms and feet were trembling, the sweat was flowing from my hair as if I was bathing and the beats of the heart were so strong that it seemed as if the heart wanted to get out of my chest.

"SYSTEM SHOW ME!!!"

The window appears.

Now updating... Updating progress... 98%

Please wait...

Please hurry... please!!!

When I almost reach my mom's room, I see that the door was shred to pieces.

A creature was standing right there, at the end of mom's bed.

It wears dad's clothes, b-but its not him.

The creature has a human shape with gray flesh, little hair on the head, seems unstable on the feet, totally black eyes and a very wide mouth with missing teeth.

No matter how you look at it, it's some kind of zombie.

On the window on the wall on the right side of the bed, the light of the flames from the neighboring houses is reflected. The same light as the one that's reflected in my mom's room. She is still in bed, still alive.

Mom was awake, looking stunned. The fear trembles every single part of her body.

The zombie raises the axe to kill her.

Somewhere, in a distant place, someone was looking through a magical globe.

One was sitting on a throne with the magical globe in his hands.

"Poor creatures, what a massacre!" said someone

"Hm... indeed. They never expected this, I'm sure." said the one sitting on the throne

"Those things shouldn't exist in our world. These must be his doing..."

"Keep your mouth shut! We don't want to get his attention, not now or ever."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!" gets down on one knee and bends the head

Both of them look at the globe which shows different views of the massacre.

"It seems like no one will escape alive, not if we don't help them."

"I don't want to put my people in danger for some lowly life forms. They must have angered you-know-who and this is the price that they will have to pay."

The magic globe captures the image of a child running not too far behind a "zombie".

"Please, Your Highness! Please have mercy." bends his head to the floor

"Sound of big doors opening"

Two persons that seem to be royal guards open the huge doors of the throne room while another person dressed in servant clothes entrees in a hurry.

The attention is directed to the servant.

"Your Highness!" bends with respect

"What is it?" shows curiosity
