1 Stronger Devours the Weak

It was a place of magic and swordsman but it was a place where the weak ones were devoured by the stronger. And everyone could only learn one skill which was magic or swordsman skill.

Once there was a boy who was weaker than anyone else and his name was Toki(which means Time),he had a very tough time where the weak ones cannot survive.

He had no background,no one to help him, his father and mother was killed when the barbarians came to loot their village. No one was there to help him, even the king of place didn't do anything to help his village. From that day on he started to hate the royal family and he wanted to despised the royal family. He was often bullied by others but no one was there to help him and he knew that the one who would help him but himself. He endured the humiliation and was always looking for a way to get stronger.

He always went to a library to find a way to get stronger, when he went to the library he always saw a old man always there reading a book. Once he asked the old man that what was he always reading and the old man said to nothing to him. And when he looked inside the book there was nothing at. At that time he thought that the old man had gone mad, then back to search the of magic or swordsman book. One day the old man talked to him and asked him if he wanted to become stronger.

He said yes to the old man in a haste and the old man laughed at him and Toki got angry than the old man said to him that he could give him the power to be above everyone but that power would make him different from the others. That power would make him separate from everyone, there will be no one to stand beside him and there will be lots of pain. He agreed to the old man very fast because he knew that there was always no one to help him anyway and he knew that the pain he was suffering right now was painful than any pain he would suffer.The old man was suprised by him.

The old man said to him though I said that after gaining this power that you will be alone you must try to make some allies for future but Toki disagreed to the old man and said to him that I was always alone and no one tried to help me when I needed help. I don't think of making any allies and I can survive by myself. The old man laughed again and said you will know in the future if you need allies or not but I will give you the power you want. Toki asked what was the name of the old man and the old man said to him that he was called Oni(which means devil) when he was young.

Then the old man took out a small crystal from his pocket and showed it in front of Toki, when it reached near his eye the crystal melted and went into his eyes. He backed in a haste then after a while his eyes were in pain and it turned into red than the old man showed the book he was always reading but now the book he saw blank was now filled with mysterious letters. Toki was suprised when he saw the mysterious letters on the book and the old man said to him that if he could master the book he would be able to learn both the skills of magic and swordsman.
