Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"The meaning of a human life." , a dark fantasy novel which revolves around a boy who is forced into becoming an immortal. The character was originally a prince of a small kingdom called 'sylvare'. He is raised by a loving family and always surrounded by loving citizens. Of course, as a prince he received uptight education including knowledge of other kingdoms, finance, swordsmanship training, politics, corruption, apothecary .etc. Despite facing a few hardships here and there, he was happy and content with his current life. Of course, in the cycle of life and death nothing ever lasts forever. While everyone was carrying out their duties and living their life, many high ranking and carefree nobles across the kingdoms were being manipulated by ****** since their greed and pride were easy to fuel which made the process of brainwashing ten times easier, the nobles started to believe that if they managed to summon a "deity" who is capable of granting any kind of wish as a reward of being able to summon it. Thus , many evil deeds were being performed behind the scenes believing that other 'people' are not worthy enough to know the greatness of the 'deity'. This wonderful illusion of a 'deity' became a cause of their doom. The so called 'deity' turned out to be a monster consisting of some kind of dark fluid and bones all over it's body which is serving a high ranking creature called demon king from another place. This monster ate the soul of each and every human being in this planet except for the prince who managed to survive because of his family that covered him from all angles in order to shield him from any type of attack. When the monster finished devouring almost everything, it finally reached towards the prince. However, before the monster could do anything , something ordered it to stop. The prince who is now filled with nothing but hatred and anger , is biting his lips to the point of bleeding, clenching the soil of the ground with his bare hands and while he is looking at the monster the only thing that is visible on his face is a tear flowing down through his face. The amount of vengeance and rage caught the interest of the demon king. Suddenly a bottle of liquid popped out from a dark circle which was formed in the air for a split second.

"If you truly wish to avenge everyone, drink this elixir of immortality. If you have the courage that is, after all good kids should always stay with their parents instead of doing reckless things or else they might get scolded~"

After the voice finished speaking, the monster disappeared in thin air. When the prince looks around, all he can see is corpses of living being and blood splattered in each and every direction. The only thing that doesn't contain any blood splattered in it is the sky and the setting sun. The reason can't be justified but the voice of the demon king kept ringing inside the prince's head. Already drowned in sorrow and despair with no one to rely on the prince drank the 'elixir of Immortality'.

Of course, the elixir is no joke, when a normal human consumes it, his/her negative emotions take the control of the mind along with other severe side effect like losing your mind, body , making contract with a demon, turning into a monster .etc . The prince also started to face the side effects since severe changes started happening to his body , however….

Perhaps, one can call it destiny , fate or a curse but the prince managed to catch the eye of the 'gods' during his talk with his demon king. The gods transferred their powers right after the prince drank the elixir.

(Divine power: The power to heall life and living beings)

"Azaroth"
