Somewhere in this vast universe there are several islands in one area called Aquisium, and in one of the remote islands there are two people arguing, one of them is called Adham and the other is his grandfather.

"Don't tell me, old man, that you will go back on your word," Adham spoke provocatively.

"Oi, you stupid grandson. Whom do you call an old man? I'm not that old, and secondly, I didn't go back on my word. I asked you to graduate from the academy and not destroy it," The Grandfather replied.

"Who ? me ! No, you are wrong. How can I destroy an academy with my current power, on the contrary, I tried to warn them, but most of them did not listen to me", Adham said, trying to seem innocent.

"hiffff I know that you are the one who leaked the information about the abyss of death to them , I originally discovered this place a long time ago and almost lost my life there, and damn your father, I told him to hide the map, but he did not listen to me and it fell into the wrong hands", The grandfather responded with annoyance, especially when the father was mentioned.

"Oii, old man, you make me look like a villain in the story. In fact, they'd find out sooner or later. I just speeded things up a bit. It's not my fault that they went too deep. I just gave them the map. If they continued to explore the outer areas , and were not taken by curiosity and greed, most of them would not have lost their lives, and remember that I warned them, I am not the main reason for their death," Adham argued.

"Like you even have interest in their lives, I know that you wanted to explore the depths, but you were aware of your weakness, so you took advantage of them," said the grandfather.

The grandfather sighed with a slight sadness and continued, "What you did, Adham, is not the right thing. It is true that they bothered you while you were in the academy, but taking revenge on them in this way is not right."

Adham was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Who said that I took revenge on them? I only treated them like guinea pigs from the beginning, or let's say that I discovered the map before I joined the academy, and it was the main reason for my joining from the beginning."

"But how would they feel if they found out that they were taken advantage of like this and all your relationship with them was a mere experience?" asked the grandfather.

"Since when did scientists care about the mice's feeling or condition, all that matters is the results, regardless of the extent of the psychological or physical sacrifice," replied Adham.

"So you sacrificed them for whose benefit?" The grandfather asked, knowing the answer already.

"For my own good, of course," Adham answered, then paused for a moment and continued, "For the sake of knowledge, I can sacrifice the most valuable thing I have."

"EVEN US!!" Grandpa asked

"You mean you and my grandmother of course how can I sacrifice you? I haven't gone insane yet hahaha," Adham laughed lightly.

The grandfather fell into deep thought for a moment and said, "What about yourself?"

"Yes, but if that is the last thing I want to know," Adham replied without hesitation.

"Why when you said we you just included me and your grandmother and not your parents?" the Grandfather asked again.

"They are not among us," Adham sighed. " their life or death is still unknown. The two went out a long time ago to pursue their dreams. It is true that they did not take me with them, whether it was for a selfish reason or they feared something would happen to me. What they did is some kind of sacrifice.But it doesn't matter, I don't blame them for leaving me. On the contrary, I credit them for not holding back my curiosity." Adham replied while sighing.

"Tell me, then, that in the far or near future will your outlook and ways of obtaining what you want will change, and the fact that sacrifice must be made for the sake of self-interest is something only villains do. , and I do not want to see you become one of them." The atmosphere became tougher when the grandfather asked the question.

"Old man, I don't think there is good and evil in the world from what I noticed in the academy, the village, and from reading books. Everyone has a point of view. I mean, there are only different concepts, and the terms good and evil are nothing but descriptions that do not indicate anything specific. For example, in the eyes of the families of people who died, I'm absolute evil, but in the eyes of the survivors, I am nothing but a hero in their hearts. And will I change? This is something I cannot answer. I do not have a fixed point of view only. Before entering the academy, I did not like the idea of public sacrifice for private interest or the opposite , but now I can sacrifice the village for knowledge. It is true that I seemed without principle, but by experience I can form one," Adham said.

The grandfather nodded applaudable, his grandson's answer did not disappoint him, but left him a little worried, what kind of experiences changed his perspective 180 degrees

There was silence for a moment, until Ahdam spoke again "Then will you let me out of the village?"

"Hahahahahahaha who? You? Look at your strength. You won't be able to live in the outside world for a few years and you are still relatively young." The grandfather spoke.

"hfffff when my father was my age, you let him go , but when I asked, you refused," Adham complained.

"And who said that I let him go, he ran away and didn't come back until 8 years later,"the Grandfather spoke angrily ,"Okay, let me cut it short. When you're strong enough to destroy the barrier around the village, you'll be free to go."

Adham was surprised, "What barrier?" But in the next second he almost fainted, and the grandfather snapped his fingers and formed a barrier around the village.

Adham moved quickly towards the corner closest to the barrier when he tried to pass he was blocked, but if anyone else tried to pass they would pass without noticing the barrier's presence.

"So when you destroy the barrier, you are free," As the grandfather was leaving, he turned suddenly and said, "By the way, I may not have told you this before, but you were in the depths of the abyss before." Then he quickly disappeared.

What the grandfather said to Adham left him standing in his place, speechless and motionless for a few days. He did not sleep or eat. He remained in deep thinking.

----------

In some corner of the village a couple was looking into the distance ,"Why did you tell him that he was inside the abyss?" a woman who was Adham's grandmother spoke in a protest tone.

"Oh, you have heard what we were talking about, as expected of my wife," the Grandfather teased her.

"Hfff who you think I am," grunted the grandmother.

"You are my wife," the grandfather teased her for a second time until he saw the one who came to answer "No." On the other side, his wife formed a sword, and she almost attacked him.

"I'm joking, I'll tell you."

"According to his curiosity, he will find out sooner or later from his father's library or he will try to enter by force, so I took the opportunity and told him to stay quietly in the village and train hard." Grandfather spoke softly.

The grandmother nodded in agreement and asked after a short while, "But why did you tell him that you almost lost your life in the abyss?" She looked at him in astonishment.

The grandfather smiled, "Hehh, when he destroys the barrier, he will begin to leave the village and not enter the abyss, because destroying the barrier of a person who almost lost his life does not give him the courage to enter, or that's what I hope."

Suddenly a question popped up in Grandma's mind, "Why didn't you make a barrier around the abyss to prevent the academics from dying and you let them enter the abyss?"

"Ahhhhh, that's for three reasons : to suppress Adham's curiosity and because the being in the depths of the abyss wouldn't like the idea of ​​sealing the place and I simply didn't care about them," the grandfather replied.

"Adham is just like you somehow," the Grandma shook her head After a while of silence.

"Why don't you just kill him when you have the necessary strength," Grandma suddenly spoke seriously, staring into the abyss.

"It's because of our stupid son who asked me to leave things as they are and told me that the abyss is somehow related to Adham," the grandfather replied with annoyance.

Grandma didn't argue further after hearing Grandpa's answer and then said, "Let's hope his training period goes well."

Grandfather and grandmother smiled weakly at the impossibility of the situation.

----------

After 8 years somewhere in Aquisium

"Adham, wake up, you have a mission in the fourteenth kingdom. Go to the village that the customer will show you and help them eliminate the bandits.

"ehhhh, why do I have to take a mission like this?" Adham complained.

"Hehh, you are the one who brought this upon yourself. If you have a companion, I can give you the mission you want, but as long as you do not have a companion, do not complain."

"Why do I need a companion?" Adham protested

" Harassment, destruction, foul language, non-compliance with rules and other actions and you ask me why you need a companion to control you."

"Okay, I'll take it." Adham frowned and started saying incomprehensible words under his nose.

As he was leaving he heard what made him almost spit blood out of anger, "Don't come back without a companion, this is time or you have no place in the guild."

----

In a village, two girls work in the field next to a modest house, one of them is 21 years old called Norsin and her younger sister is 13.

she gasped ,"Sister , let's take a little rest. We work from early in the morning, I'm tired." The younger sister spoke, fatigue evident on her face.

"Oh, I haven't felt the passage of time ; go home and take a shower and when you're done call me to rest," Norsin replied with a smile as she stroked her sister's hair.

"Okay, sister," replied the younger sister, "Then I will hurry so that my sister can rest quickly." The last words were said in her heart, until she began to run to her house.

Norsin watched from the side with a sweet smile as if she knew what her sister was thinking, but suddenly her eyes turned cold.

"How long are you planning to hide?" Norsin said coldly.

5 identical brothers came out , they looked like they were twins, but if one looked closely, he would see the difference in age and they had about 20 people.

One of the brothers, who only has a left eye, applauded and said, "Hey, you noticed us, so you are kinda capable , but you are an important commodity. give of yourself and let your sister be." The leader of the bandits spoke in a peremptory tone that does not accept discussion.

"Hey, you look at yourselves a lot, someone who doesn't see his right hand and 24 twinks who don't have a woman on their side who brazenly dare to threaten me, go back where you came from and I'll pretend I didn't see anything." Norsin replied lightly

25 smiles turned into 25 curse words, and everyone drew their swords except for the five brothers who stayed on the side to watch the battle to intervene at the right moment.

Although Norsin's words left them angry they did not take it lightly, for someone who noticed them and dared to utter the provocative words was not a weak one.

Twenty people took their positions and surrounded Norsin and slowly approached, Norsin remained unafraid as she looked at the enemies and on the contrary looked at them lightly.

Suddenly all the individuals attacked at once to prevent her from making any movement, but when they got close enough, most of them felt numb, and then they felt something wrong, they prepared to retreat, but it was too late, Norsin moved quickly to the far right and attacked the weakest member of the group, when the group interacted, the head of one of the individuals fell, but it did not end here as soon as the head fell, she moved between the remaining individuals quickly. Some of them were killed, some received serious injuries, and a few of them could not bear and were crippled.

From a corner, he said, "Brother, I see that she is strong and has lightning properties. I think she is at the peak of the seventh level of the mortal Level, which is half a step away from entering the King's Steps."

"Hffff, who cares. The four of us are at the peak of the seventh level, and I entered the King's steps a while ago, look into my eyes." Their leader spoke, his left eye changing to light green.

The brothers became excited because their brother has shaped the green eye, although it is light in color, but it remains that he reached the first level of the king's steps, which is called The Eye Of Bakura.

"Third brother, go support the comrades since you have healing abilities and let us drain her. Unless one reaches the King's Steps, they won't have much energy to expend." The elder brother commanded.

The third brother advanced to the battlefield, he released a small healing field for everyone who was injured, and most of them recovered quickly because they did not reach the edges of death. The momentum of the gang was restored with the third brother joining for some time, but Norsin after a few moments, her power increased, her attacks became deadly, and everyone who touched her lightning sword was killed.

"Fuck she is too strong, brother, we have to join the fight before we lose all our men. I don't want to be punished by the deputy commander." When he reminded them of the deputy commander, the rest of the brothers, even their elders, shivered.

"Okay, guys, back off, we'll take it from here." The commander spoke in a loud voice.

All the remaining individuals quickly retreated and the rest of the brothers advanced to battle

"Oh, you've come at last. I thought you were the women of the group," Norsin sneered.

"Hey, we'll see who will laugh at the end." One of the brothers spoke confidently.

The brothers surrounded Norsin and launched attacks from all sides. The remaining 4 specialized in one of the four elements, where the oldest specialized in the element of metal, the second in the element of wood , The third specializes in healing, the fourth is in the wind and the last is in the earth element.

"Hooof," Norsin was annoyed by the brothers' work together as she was completely suppressed.

"Heh, I told you we'd laugh at the end." The leader spoke sarcastically.

Norsin did not answer, but kept backing away in a strange way. Everyone thought that she was leading them away from her sister, but she came closer and closer to the gang members.

"Watch out!" the captain shouted, a little late

"Heh, as expected of a group of monkeys, you can form an understanding after a certain period of time," Norsin said sarcastically.

As soon as the brothers interacted, Norsin sped towards the rest of the members and unleashed a massive attack of lightning that killed ninety percent of them. And she killed them for two reasons : first to prevent them from recovering ,Secondly, in order not to approach the house where her sister is, even though she put up a barrier, it will not last for long.

The brothers were agitated in anger and one of them spit blood out of their anger, "You whore, we will kill you," the commander spoke while gritting his teeth.

The brothers launched frantic attacks and wouldn't let her take a breath to recover , Norsin's health fell into disrepair and her energy became very chaotic while the brothers stayed on the same strength due to the support of the third brother.

Norsin gritted her teeth trying to find a way to escape, but suddenly a funnel came from the forest directed at Norsin and forced her to the ground without resistance.

The brothers and Norsin turned to the side from which the oppressive energy was coming, then a tall white-haired man with a strong aura appeared. As soon as the brothers saw the man, they all rejoiced and knelt on the ground.

The man did not turn to them, but kept his eyes on Norsin and spoke softly, "Do not resist any longer or I will kill your sister. It is true that I cannot kill you, but she can, so follow me without resistance."

Norsin remained hesitant because she did not know his true level of strength or where he would take her and could not do a reckless act out of fear for her sister, after a short period of mental conflict she raised her hands as a sign of her surrender, perhaps on the way she would get a chance to escape with her sister.

As soon as she surrendered, the man turned to the kneeling brothers and said, "Get up and handcuff the two girls ".

The brothers quickly got up and the one-eyed man said, "Thank you, Deputy Commander, for your help," but he fell on a deaf ear.

From beginning to end, he looked at them only once. From their point of view the deputy commander is a king, and they were just villagers who were not of the same class. The brothers did not dare to express their displeasure and obeyed the command without complaint.

The two girls were tied up and put into a cart, apparently a slave cart " sister, I am afraid, what did we do to be captured?" As they entered the car, the young sister spoke with tears in her eyes.

Norsin stroked her hair and spoke confidently, "Look at me, we'll get out of here safely."

The cart set off supervised by the deputy commander himself with the five brothers and 100 members of the gang, their journey lasted for three months without problems until one day they were interrupted by two men, one of whom was normal and the other person, if you did not focus well with your eyes you would not feel his presence.

The cart stopped and its driver shouted, "You out there, get off the road before I kill you."

The normal person retreated for a distance while the second remained as if he had not heard anything "Oi, cunt I'm talking to you, are you ignoring me?" the driver shouted angrily.

But the second one remained there, staring in the direction of the convoy, motionless.

The gang members gathered in front of the driver when they heard him screaming they thought he had encountered some enemy but upon taking a look they saw a man who didn't have an iota of energy the crowd erupted in laughter.

One of them sneered, "It seems that he is so afraid of our aura being stony in his place."

Until they heard a cold voice behind them, "Kill him and let's continue on the way." Cold sweat descended on the backs of the members who were laughing after hearing the voice of the speaker who was deputy commander

And when the members regained their senses and turned their eyes to the place where the intruder was standing, they found out that he had disappeared!!

All the members turned left and right, but no trace of him was found.

"Hey, looks like he ran away," one of them said.

Even the deputy commander and the five brothers found it strange how a person suddenly disappears without a trace, but after a short while they heard an explosion behind them coming from the slave cage, let it be known that even the owners of eye of Bakura could not destroy the cage so easily but now the cage was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone turned towards the cart to see who the great enemy was ready to face, but no one was seen.

Inside the slave cage the slaves screamed in fear, the younger sister held Norsin while crying.

Norsin instinctively turned in a certain direction until she saw a man centimeters from her face looking at her curiously but for some reason she kept staring at him, his black, lifeless eyes and his expressionless face, stagnation lasted for seconds , until the silence was broken "What is your name?" asked the stranger.

"Norsin," she answered, but without a feeling.

"I'm adham join me"
