The rogue wind dominance the world.
As the world was dark and grey the volcano erupted and the lava came out and the clouds started to rain then thunder came in. No one knew where John is but, we know that he jumped on the balcony and do the leap of faith we tracked where John falls and he survived on the bright side he was dozing.
* a few minutes ago*
While he was falling, John looked around and all of a sudden the figure came out then grab John from his end, so that, John stared at the figure whose saved him from death in the meantime, he didn't know where they are going, John spectated the world where he and his companions entered then he revealed a 'Castle' also the 'World' itself as for that a figure looked at the tower and the window was open. a sudden volcano erupted, they stopped and spectating the volcano and going to the tower as they reached the tower the figure dropped John slowly as he reached the floor so does the figure as well. a moment of silence the figure asked: "How's vigour, John?" he replied " I have nothing to say but thank you" in the meantime, the door shuts while the window closed forcefully and the atmosphere changed the two stared each other for a few minutes the figure broke the silence "So John what can you say about this world?" John asked " This world or my world? the figured answered "neither of them" John looked oddly at the room which they entered, the wind blows widely, the situation begins to fragile and the figure roaming around John and asked "What can you say about the world you living right now? John was ready for himself to tell a tale about his homeworld, however, the figure led a chair to him and sit down then John followed the suit. " It's been years since anyone could ask that, my homeworld, it's been years since the world was a serene and harmonious planet. one day the resources suddenly dwindling every day without knowing what will happen next. In XXXX the terrorist coalition unexpectedly attacks Iran Government and wage war with entire Africa and the Middle East Continent thus giving time the European, Americans also the Asian preparation for the 'incursion' in the meantime, in XXXX the Terrorist coalition forces invaded the Russian Federation and Ukraine immediate support the Russians. therefore, they drove back and all of that a resource we're on the brink of destruction many people were protesting against the government this will be an advantage from the terrorist coalition. so that, this will become known as a 'Resource War'.

in the minute of silence, John was collecting himself and thus he said "I swore an oath to myself that I will bring havoc and slain them all, I've lost everything my friends, family, freedom, peace, and also my lover. no matter how much they are I will take their friends, their family, their freedom, their peace and also their loved ones, I will bring 'Justice' and bring " Peace" to my homeworld". The figure silently observed John's behaviour and also his oath but he decides to step in "Revenge wasn't an answer you know that. the breezes coming in as the windows were open and the sound of a volcano erupted on the scene, nonetheless, John doesn't leave his eyes on the figure for what he was telling " I guess it's my turn to tell a tale. When I was young and lived in the village where people enjoyed the peace and harmony throughout the years but, I still recalled that day" he tells his story as he recalled his memories. but he decided to look at the window then said "John the time has come, I'm looking for someone for being my apprentice but now, I found it right in front of me". as John looked at his daggers he unsheathed his daggers and the daggers' were glowing a matter of that he lowered his head when he saw his picture lying from his left pocket he pulled out while remembering the girl he loved the most. he put a smile across his face again he returned the photo from his left pocket, looking at his daggers glowing nonstop. " I want to be your apprentice to protect my people even my own life". As Figure looked sternly at John he extends his hand and replied " I see, I Howard the Wise. The figure's skin suddenly cracked into a million pieces but his skin was like a human skin gradually revealing one by one and showed his red eyes, black hair, 6'8 cm size, 6 pack abs and also he wears a military jacket with a hood across his face only revealed his red eyes and mouth. "Welcome John, for now, you will face a cruel and hellish training than you experienced in the 'guild's training be ready cause I'll never be easy on you". John grinned then bowed his head and a figure named Howard added " Raise your head young John, your time has come to become a hero? or a legend? The darkness was forming and grows stronger one by one. so, John tell what would you choose? To the 'Left' where Nothing is 'Right' Or, To the 'Right' where Nothing is 'Left'. John was shocked and realised the responsibilities and consequences he said " So, the choices were I would become a 'Hero' or a 'Criminal'. Howard smiled for his sudden understanding in philosophy "So, John how's it be? then John smiled and answered.

Why not both?
*Skip 5 years*
After a gruesome training, John finally became a novice of Howard after many struggles he still managed to stand firm, he was laying off on his bed thinking about the precious person whom he really wanted dearly. he got up and look at his cabinet to grab his daily routine, he wore a standard blue t-shirt, black jeans, running shoes and also his green jacket then he placed his hood over his head to hide almost his face except for his mouth and chin ao that no one can identify who he was or what kind of person is this. After that, he walked at the corridor to get his weapons all of a sudden, Howard called out " John are you ready? and he gives his katana and also his very own battle gear. He placed his hand on John's shoulder thus they disappear and reappeared on the portal which John entered 5 years ago, he looked at Howard and said "So, this is where we parted ways eh? he replied, " It seems so". he looks at the portal then said " Go now John, always remember "We work the 'Dark' to Serve the 'Light'. John nodded and walks right to the portal and left, as the moment of silence.
The wind blows widely and the atmosphere slowly heavier than before.
Howard was standing while staring at John's position earlier before he leaves into this world he whispered " John my apprentice soon we will meet again when you finished up your world problems, you will return here and finished when 'you' started since the day you finally step in" after that, he stepped backwards and vanished into the darkness but, they only remember one thing that can change John's life and his destiny awaits him.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
