Beautiful forest, ponds, animals, etc.—really? Yes, those things are there, but what about the deadly creatures and monsters?
Beasts and monsters whose are walking around and hunting for survival. After all, that's the law of nature. These monsters and beasts will be hunt by powerful dragons, which are strongest among the stronger creatures.
And how cool they looks like! Black dragons, crimson red dragons, dark blue dragons, etc. what impressive vision of seeing. It's as if they won't even give a chance to humans for survive in the world of strongest.
That's why people always try to avoid them. Yet, humans act as if they are superior.

There's a particular place, or a kingdom. Which is like an only stable living palace, on the world of monsters.
That kingdom isn't as large as a country, but rather a big village with a market, some fields, and a battlefield in front of a huge grand castle. This kingdom was feeling more like a market, business of death beast's body.
Because the castle seems to be just for show, while the entire kingdom is filled with markets and shops, selling death monsters and weapons.
Only the castle feels like a livable place. That huge castle was continuously reflecting light, while shining like a star. And with a proper clear view, we can say it was shining because that was made by totally metal.
.

.
.
Inside of the castle, someone was washing his double-edged long sword, which was covered in red blood. A sword's true beauty was visible when it's only covered by blood.
The person who was washing the sword, his hair is totally black and his skin isn't completely white, kinda light tone.
Perfectly resembles of a true warrior. And of course he is 'Xen'.
Then a kid entered inside the room, he is totally angry. His voice was clearly showing that, "Father, I told you already that, I want to go with you!"
Then Xen slowly put his sword aside, as he turned his face the him. Xen smiled while saying, "Ryan when I tell you that I won't take you with me?"
.

....
-[Name: Ryan
Age: 6 year
Understand: Not achieve yet
Hair colour: black
Father: Xen]-
....

.
.
Ryan becomes as angry as like a cat and start punching on Xen's abs. He was letting out his anger on him.
"I know very well, that you won't take me with you!!!"
A small argument is enough to create stronger bonds between the father and son, and it's really adorable.
.
.
.
.
Right now both of them are taking bath. Xen's body was covered in burning flame scars—his back, abs, arms, legs, and even his face.
Xen was washing Ryan as if he were a cute toy. Xen started to rub Ryan's cheeks and hair. Then Xen slowly pulled up Ryan's cheeks.
"Father, you're one of the emperor among 5 kingdoms. So they must be respect you the most. But I saw a different dream"
"Ryan, your fate vision isn't something that l can deny. But nothing happened yet that you predicted."
Ryan start looking at Xen without saying a single word. Ryan's eyes are deep serious as like a cat, before attacking.
"Yes yes without one. My bad, okay now you're done, go and prepared."
"Really? You're going?"
He became so happy, like a playful cat, and ran out from there with joyfully expression. Xen looked at him with a beautiful smile.
But suddenly Xen feel something strange. At an instant His eyes become red which shows how much angry he is.
"Who the hell are you!!! How dare you to invite me for 'private dimension' !!!"
Xen feel a presence from outside of the castle.

Xen comes out from his castle and look up at the sky. With the charming atmosphere and beautiful views, Xen's hair was floating along with the cold wind.
Xen was about to left from there, but Then someone appeared in front of him.
Xen became shocked as he said, "A royal Knight?"
Then the knight showed respect to Xen, by kneeling down on his one leg, "4th Emperor Xen you are invited on the great meeting. We will wait for you."
Royal knight's body was fully covered with metal armour. Armour was looking really strong and durable, yet its shape was edge shaped and shining. While a yellow cape was attached on the back shoulder. And the cape was continuously floating around there, along with the first wins flow.
"They already know that, I'll attend that, because of my friends. It's common sense that a friend will definitely attend another friend's funeral. But why they try to remind me in 'private dimension' for conversation..."
Then the Royal Knight raised his head and looked at Xen.
Xen became confused because of Royal knight's no response, he understand that Royal knight wants to say something.
Xen slowly opened his lips again, "Hey is that.."
"Yes, Emperor Xen. Now the situation was totally out of control. And I don't know who tried to called you for 'Private dimension'."
"Are you about to mention the previous night incident...?"
"if just you just allow me for it. 4th Emperor Xen."
Xen moved forward inside of his castle as he said, "Come with me."
They both went inside the castle for a conversation. The conversation that would completely change Xen's mind.

In the middle of the day, when the sun's light directly reflect over the castle, and making it appear like a shining piece of crystal. Which present on the middle of the field.
Xen and Ryan comes out from the castle. Xen's red cape was floating along with the calmed wind, which create shadow over Ryan's body, resembling like a protective father. Which is shielding his child. And then, Xen slowly pet his head as the shadow faded away from over Ryan.
Ryan looked back at the castle, its light reflect over his smiley face.
"Father, our castle was as bright as a star. As always."
Xen's outfit is simple: a white shirt, black pants, red cape and a sword.
.

While walking from the side of crop fields, Ryan look at Xen with a curious expression, as if he wants to ask something. Xen notices this, but his expression remains unchanged; he continue to smile.
"Are you curious Son? Just asked me whatever you want"
"Dad, it's you not me."
Xen smiled on Ryan's cute words and nodded his head as he said, "Is it like that? Yeah, I'm curious."
Then Xen recalled something. A flashback of the conversation.

———[Some hours ago]———
.
.
.
At the time when Xen went inside the castle, along with the Royal Knight
They are sitting over the floor with a pillow on the side, under their right arm and in front of them there's a short table, or rather like a small desk.
Both of them were silent. They maintained their silence for some time, until the Royal Knight lifted his head. When he looked at Xen's face, he figured out something.
"Emperor Xen did you know something about him..."
"So his name is 'Tangson'... If everything you said was accurate, then he was why stronger than I assumed. Of course, he definitely will be, because standing in front of Yan-ly and my master at the same time and overpowering them, that's proof his strength. He also broke Yan-ly's protective dimension barriers."
It's probably first time for the Royal Knight hearing something like that from Xen. That's why Royal Knight become shocked
"Emperor Xen?"
"Yes you guessed it right, at that time he is way stronger than me. Probably stronger than anyone I know"
.

———[On present]———

.
.
That's what Xen were continuosly thinking about. He were thinking about someone who doesn't even know him. Or probably know him better than anyone.
And right now, on the far distance from the castle. Xen and Ryan was standing on the Top of a mountain.
Wind flow gradually become faster and faster. Atmosphere of the mountain top become deep and heavy after a while. Suddenly entire atmosphere became kinda silent.
Then Xen look at the sky, then he slowly released his breath as he Clapped!!
.
.
.
.
The atmosphere become darker. Because too much 'Aura' released from Xen, just for a single Clapped. Then Ryan become excited
"I know what will happen."
There's something, which was rushing on their direction with too much speed.....
Then a Black dragon arrived front of them. The size of the dragon is too much huge. It's dark and intense Aura is covering the whole mountain top.
Ryan become so excited. Xen noticed his excitement.
"Let's go 'Ardss'. My 'Night Seeker'."
