《The King’s Silhouette》Chapter : 1 Fateful Night
Advertisement
The man’s clothing was simple, looking like in his twenties, about 5’10 Ft tall, wearing a black shirt, very neat. Around his waist a belt inset with ten pieces of black pearls, black hair hanging halfway down to his shoulders, facial features considered handsome, standing on top of a mountain which was covered with snow. At the corners of his mouth, he wore a slight smile. He is “Rai!”
Some Years Ago
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a certain port city, dawn was falling as a young boy, looked like in his mid-teens, wearing a white shirt and black jeans, and went inside a big house with a beautiful garden. He went straight up the stairs and into a room. He walked towards the bed and lays down while gazing at the window. This young boy’s name is “Rai”.
–Sigh-
Can’t something good happen once in a while…
To Rai the life in this era was boring, everyday nothing but the same routine, wake up go to school, eat lunch, and do Part-time, same old stuff. He always wanted more from his life, always imagined: How was the life before technology was invented and, before that. How were the Humans living a thousand years ago?
After some time he started to think about the possibility of another world and life in it. What if there was a world with Dragons, Monsters and other Races, etc. He thirsted for adventure but in this modern era, there was no adventure but the same old things.
One night while he was sleeping, he heard a dignified voice in his mind “If you had the chance to live in another world, would you take it?”
He subconsciously replied “Yes!”
At that moment, the world was slowed down by leaps and bounds, a magic circle with a lot of words that humans would not be able to understand and lines and diagrams with weird shapes appeared above him and sucked him inside like a vortex.
Flying through a passage similar to Black Hole, he woke up by the pressure of it. When he opened his eyes he saw something he couldn’t believe, he was inside a tube-like passage covered with the pink and blue sky around him and it was fast, at a speed he couldn’t believe, but strangely he didn’t felt any air pressure from that speed.
So he calmed down and thought how this is possible, where am I, Why can’t I feel the pressure of this speed. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Some time has passed and now he could see a planet in the distance, the vortex which he was in was connected to that planet. But the planet was still far and he couldn’t see clearly. As time passed by, he was getting closer and closer to the planet. He tried to focus on the planet and what he saw was astonishing for him.

He saw that the planet looked similar to Earth but it was much bigger, and what was more amazing than he could see something flying with scales and wings. At that moment his eyes were left wide open and a slight smile on his face. Yes, this is what he always wished to see, it was a DRAGON!
While he was getting close to the planet he began to look more into the planet and saw a yellow mist which covered the planet although not in that much quantity which one would be able to see clearly it was still an amazing sight for him.
As he got into the atmosphere of the planet he saw a Dragon flying around in the far distance, Glittering Waterfalls, and Humans fighting with Swords and using some kind of wizardry to beat Monsters in a Big Forest.
He noticed he didn’t feel any pain whatsoever when he entered the atmosphere of the planet he thought Maybe it’s because of the vortex I am in...
At that moment he saw a big City with a big Castle in the middle of it all. He saw that the city was divided up by walls that connected to lower districts and an outer wall that had a road that led to the ends of the Big Forest he saw. He focused more on the Wall which separated the districts and saw a bustling market with a lot of people going here and there.
He also noticed that there were some houses in the same area which was separated by the Wall from the middle area of the City, where there were beautiful houses and mansions with some exquisite-looking shops.
The Castle was divided into four parts the Middle which had a big door connecting to the City, the Second part of the Castle, which was located at the opposite side of the gate, and had a big garden connecting to the Middle part of the Castle. The Third Part of the Castle, which was located on the right side of the Middle part of the Castle it had a path-way, most of it was covered except a small Garden. The Fourth Part of the Castle, which was located on the left side of the Middle part of the Castle it looked identical to the Third part of the Castle.
He noticed that the pillar of Light or Vortex what he called was connected to right in the middle of the Castle. While the Pillar of Light was fast going there he noticed four other Pillars of Light/Vortex, which were also connected to the same spot of the Castle.

He thought could there be others like me? I hope they wanted a world like this as well.
And he was just so amazed by the sheer beauty of the sight; he couldn’t keep his expressions from showing the joy he had never felt and he thought: Now this is a world I was destined to be in.
He was headed straight for the Middle part of the Castle, he thought he would crash into the glass ceiling which looked like a snowflake, so he braced for impact and closed his eyes but thankfully, there was a hole in the ceiling from which the Pillar of Light went through.
When he landed, he opened his eyes and saw a beautiful girl with blonde hair in a weird white robe, about 5’2 Ft. tall with a beautiful figure, looked around her twenties, standing about 5 meters away, outside the boundaries of a weird circle with letters he couldn’t understand, and some drawings, he was standing on.
He turned around and saw a lot of people, some had weapons, some were wearing expensive-looking clothes, but then he saw an old man sitting on a throne, wearing a crown, he looked around his eighties. He was wearing a robe which was white with red and blue patterns, embellished with gems.
Standing on the left side of the throne was a beautiful girl with red hair, wearing a red gown with white outlines. She looked around her Mid-teens as well. With a beautiful skin and green eyes, he was mesmerized by her beauty.
While he was still looking at her, he heard some voices behind him so he turned around and saw four people, two girls, and two boys. They looked in their early teens and they were shaken up. One girl had slight tears in her eyes, while the others looked frightened. They did not know what was happening and were brought to that world against their will.
He walked towards them and said, “Hey, you guys okay?”
They looked at him and one of the boys said, “Who are you?”
He smiled and said “I am Rai; it’s nice to meet you guys. What are your names?”
The first boy replied “My name is Mathew... Mathew Mark.”
Seeing him the other boy replied, “Hi, my name is Caron Max.”
The first girl replied, “Umm Hey, my name is Lisa Holmes.”
The other girl replied, “Hello, my name is Millie Stark; it’s nice to meet you.”
He noticed that they were a little nervous so he replied with a slight laugh “Haha, it’s nice to meet you too Millie, Mathew, Caron, Lisa. Do you guys know what’s going on?”
Lisa replied, “We don’t, do you?”
Rai sighed and replied, “No, unfortunately, I don’t either, but it seems as we were teleported to another world.”
They replied simultaneously “ANOTHER WORLD?!”
While smiling he said, “Why don’t you guys tell me more about yourselves?”
---------------------------------------------------------------
After talking for some time, Rai noticed the people who were around the circle talking to each other and the man who was wearing a cloak glaring at them. He listened to their stories while observing their surroundings. He got to know a lot about the kids.
Lisa is from America. She is 12 and she has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is 4’2 Ft tall. Her father works at an I.T company.
Millie is from Australia, originally from Asia. She is 13 and she has brown hair and brown eyes. She is 4’5 Ft tall. Her father is an Architect.
Mathew is from London. He is 12 and has black hair and green eyes. He is 5 Ft tall. His father is a Captain in the Navy.
Caron is from South Africa. He is 14 and he has chestnut-colored hair and grey eyes. He is 5’1 Ft tall. His father works in Food Industry.
Rai looked at them with a sweet smile and said “Tell me, what you want to do? Stay here or go back to your families?”
Lisa replied, “Yes, please help me return to my father.”
Millie said, “Yeah, I want to return as well.”
Caron replied, “I agree, please help us get back.”
Mathew said, “Yes, I would like to go back home, But what about you Rai?”
Rai said, “I would like to stay here and explore this world with so many mysteries but don’t worry, I will make sure to send all of you back to your families…”
Rai turns around and face’s the throne and with a slight smile said
“Now then…”

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
