Twin Soul

Chapter 1: (1/7)

Toria Continents. Forty-eighth calendar, in the year of 415,814. Each calendar represents one million years.

In a small village near Sidgurh city located inside the nation named Principality of Cylatlond. A five years old boy was playing with other children around his age in the village when a female voice suddenly called out to him, "Kain, it is time to move on."

The boy got up and ran toward the woman. The beautiful woman appeared to be in her mid forty but her real age was more than a thousand. Her name is Andrella Whistler and she is a Legend-tier magic caster of Blood and Light Magics.

Andrella smiled and asked, "Kain, did you have fun today?"

The boy answered in a happy tone, "Yes, Master Whistler. I have learned some new games with those kids."

"Oh, did you? I'm delighted to hear that. Now it is time for us to move on. Do you know what to do?"

"Yes, I will kill all people in this village. After that, I will drain their blood and store it in the blood pool inside my Magical Blood Ring."

"I'm glad you didn't forget about it. You have thirty minutes to complete this task. Do you remember what happened last time when you failed?"

"Yes, Master Whistler. Last time it took me thirty-five minutes to kill all two hundred people in the other village. You have beaten me for six hours straight because of my failure. I have sworn to myself that I will never disappoint you again."

Andrella patted Kain on the head and said, "This village has more than three hundred people including all children. Do you think you can kill them all within thirty minutes?"

"Yes, Master Whistler. I am certain that I will succeed."

"It's great to hear that confident tone! Kain Bersk, show me what you can do now then."

"Yes, ma'am. Time for my massacre of those pathetic human lives."

Kain took a deep breath and casted [Conjure Skeleton Warrior], level 1 Conjuration Spell, twenty times to summon twenty Skeleton Warriors. He gave the order for all the Skeletons to massacre everybody in this village. Kain then casted [Life Drain], level 1 Blood spell, to siphoned all of the blood of people who were slain by his Skeletons.

A four years old girl was screaming out loud because she was being chased by a Skeleton. She saw Kain and recognized him because he was playing with her and other children just a couple of minutes earlier. She ran toward Kain with the attempt of asking for help by yelling out loud, "Brother! Please help me! Those skeletons are killing-"

Kain yelled, "Come here quick! Hide behind me!"

The girl was so happy to hear that. As the girl got closer to Kain, he took a knife from his hip and stabbed the girl in the neck then collected her blood and stored it in the blood pool located inside his Blood Ring.

Twenty-eight minutes later, all the people including children in this village were dead. Kain checked the blood pool of his Blood Ring and was very happy with it. Kain said, "Master Whistler, I have collected so much blood today. More importantly, I didn't disappoint you."

The lady patted Kain on the head again and said using a warm voice, "Yes, you didn't disappoint me. That amount of blood will be enough to help you train for the next five months. Now, banish your Skeleton Warriors before I cast [Mass Resurrection] spell to revive everybody."

"Yes, Master Whistler."

Kain banished his Skeleton Warriors and quietly stood behind Adrella while she was chanting for [Mass Resurrection] spell. After more than four minutes of chanting, Andrella Whistler spread her hands out and cast [Mass Resurrection], level 40 Light Spell to revive everybody that was killed by Kain's Skeletons. The revived subjects will also have their recent memories altered and could not remember anything that has happened for the last forty minutes. The memory erases effect can be avoided if the Light Mage chooses to do so.

All parents wanted their children to be born with an Elemental Soul, but they knew the chance of their child getting one was 0.01%. Any family that has children born with elemental Souls will immediately have a higher status in society. All Emperors, Popes, Presidents, Kings, Queens, Counts, and Countess are actively seeking to employ magic casters to work for them. In Toria Continents, magic casters have a much higher social status compared to warriors.

There are many Mages Guilds ruled by the Mages Council. The current leader of the Mages Council is a woman named Gwenn Bigham. Gwenn is a Saint-tier Mage that has lived for more than twenty thousand years. Despite her young age, she had reached level 100 in Light Magic training and surpassed all elders in the Mages Council.

The last Saint-tier magic caster leader of the Mages Council became a God and was forced to travel to the higher realms. She appointed Gwenn to take over her position regardless of several other powerful female Saint Mages who are much stronger compared to her. The Mages Council was created to keep all magic casters in check to prevent them from committing crimes using magic.

That was why all magic casters were required to obtain licenses from the Mages Council which granted them the authority to legally cast magic spells. Intermediate-tier Mages with levels 11 to 20 can be recruited by the King and Queen of a nation or the leader of a Mages Guild. Master, Legend, and Saint-tier magic casters can work for the Mages Council as Professors to train new mages or become the Executioners.

Some famous high-ranking Mage Guilds do have Master, Legend, or even Saint-tier Mages who work for them. Rogue Mages will be hunted and executed publicly by the Executioners without any kind of fair trial. Blood Magic is forbidden and considered the evil that needed to be executed. Therefore, the Executioners of the Mages Council actively travel from nations to nations to find and kill those Rogue Mages, Blood Mages, and children who possess Twin Soul.

Kain Bersk was born in the year 415,809 of the 48th calendar. Both of his parents were from a small village near Sryt city, which belonged to Bifjorkian Theocracy. Kain's father, Hagar Bersk, was thirty-three years old, and Kain's mother, Natali Cobb, was twenty-five years old when they brought Kain to the capital city, Flumen, for examination to see if he had any Elemental Soul when he was three years old.

The examination process was very simple. Each child will be given a small crystal to be held in their hands. After holding the crystal for five minutes, the crystal will then changes color to either red (Fire Soul), blue (Ice Soul), green (Wind Soul), Purple (Thunder Soul), brown (Earth Soul), white (Angelic Soul), black (Demonic Soul), or gray (Conjurer Soul). If the crystal does not change color then it means that children do not have an Elemental Soul and will not be able to become magic casters.

The examiner was startled when he saw the crystal explode in Kain's hands. He has worked as an examiner for the last thirty-five years and this has never happened before. That indicated Kain had a Twin Soul and he immediately commanded the guards to kill him.

Hagar Bersk was a highly-trained warrior and he served as Bifjorkian Theocracy's law enforcer for ten years in the town of Nazah. Hagar knew the law indicated that Twin Soul children are evil and have to be executed upon discovery. Nevertheless, as a father that loved his son very much, Hagar refused to let any harm come to Kain despite knowing he possesses a Twin Soul. Hagar knocked out a guard using his fist then grabbed that guard's spear to protect Natali and Kain in an attempt to escape out of Flumen city.

Even though Hagar was a very well-trained warrior, he alone can not win against a hundred million guards stationed in Flumen. Shortly after defeating more than fifty guards, Hagar and Natali were captured and executed in front of Kain. After that, a guard restrained Kain while another guard was about to stab Kain in the throat to grant him a peaceful death. A lightning strike suddenly hit that guard and immediately stunned him. That lightning strike then jumped from one guard to the other, and a total of ten guards standing near Kain were stunned and could not move. Kain didn't know what happened but could feel a hand grabbed him by the hip and then ran using a very fast speed.

A Conjurer Mage of Bifjorkian Theocracy saw [Chain Lightning], level 5 Thunder Spell, was cast from far away. He immediately started chanting for a spell to conjure one of his creatures. Ten seconds later, he casted [Conjure Thunder Eagle], level 11 Conjuration Spell to summon a Thunder Eagle that can be immune to all Novice's Thunder spells. The Eagle can cast [Thunder Strike], level 1 Thunder Spell, and [Chain Lightning], level 5 Thunder Spell. The Eagle can fly at a breakneck speed, and it is great at chasing down fleeing enemies. The conjured creature's strength will be based on the power of the Conjurer. If a Legend Conjurer Mage conjured the Thunder Eagle, then that Eagle would be immune to all Novice, Intermediate, and Master's Thunder spells.

The Conjurer Mage commanded the Thunder Eagle, "Go check out who had just cast [Chain Lightning] spell. Keep that magic caster busy until I get there."

The Thunder Eagle acknowledged the command and flew toward the location of the Thunder Mage that had just cast [Thunder Lightning] spell. Ten seconds later, the Thunder Eagle arrived but saw the Thunder Mage had escaped using [Thunder Step], level 10 Thunder Spell that could help the caster run at the speed a hundred times faster. [Thunder Step] spell is great at escaping or chasing after an enemy. Notwithstanding, it will actively drain the mana of the Thunder Mage much faster compared to any other magic spells. If the Thunder Mage refused to deactivate the [Thunder Step] spell after several minutes of using it, then his/her mana pool could be depleted and he/she won't be able to cast any other spell for a short time.
