Twin Soul

Episode 1

Prologue

In the World of Toria Continents, where all humans have blonde hair. Magic casters and Demi-Humans exist. Only one in every ten thousand people is born with an Elemental Soul, which helps them to be able to learn and cast magic spells. There are Fire, Ice, Thunder, Earth, Wind, Angelic, Demonic, and Conjurer Souls. One in every million people is born with Twin Soul that allows them to learn Blood Magic and another type of magic of their choice, whether it is Fire, Ice, Thunder, Earth, Wind, Light, Black, or Conjuration.

Toria Continents were once greatly suffered under an evil Saint-tier magic caster that uses Blood and Fire Magics. The evil Saint-tier Mage was killed after a deadly battle between her and another two thousand Saint-tier Mages. Over eighteen hundred Saint-tier Mages were lost in this battle. After the battle was over, the Mages Council decided to forbid Blood Magic. Therefore, all children at the age of three are required to be examined. Children who have Twin Soul will immediately be executed. This law applies to everyone, including royalty members, and family members of the Mages Council.

Chapter 1

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. Suddenly a voice called out to him, "Kain, it is time." The boy got up and ran toward the female. The beautiful female appeared to be in her mid forty but her real age is unknown. Her name is Andrella Whistler and she is a Legend tier magic caster of Blood and Light Magics.

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

The boy answered, "Yes, Master Whistler. I have learned some new games."

"Did you? That is very good. Now it is time for us to move on. Do you know what to do?"

"Yes, I will kill all people in this village. I will drain their blood and store it in my blood pool."

"Very good. You have thirty minutes. 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."

"Uh-huh. This village has more than three hundred people including children. Do you think you can kill them all within thirty minutes?"

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

"Very good. Kain Bersk, show me what you can do now then."

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 siphon all of the blood. One of the children was screaming out loud because she was being chased by a Skeleton. The child is approximately four years old girl, she ran toward Kain with the attempt of asking him for help. Kain 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 are dead. Kain checked his blood pool and was very happy with it. Kain said, "Master Whistler, I have collected so much blood today."

The lady patted Kain on the head and said, "Yes, you did. This will be enough to help you train for the next five months. Now, banish your Skeleton Warriors before I cast [Mass Resurrection] to revive everybody."

"Yes, Master Whistler."

Kain banished his Skeleton Warriors and quietly stood behind his master. After more than four minutes of chanting, Andrella Whistler spread her hands out and cast [Mass Resurrection], level 40 Light Spell to revive everybody. The revived subjects will also have their recent memories wiped and could not remember anything that has happened for the last forty minutes. The memory erases effect can be avoided if the magic caster chooses to.

All parents wanted their children to be born with an Elemental Soul, but they know the chance is 0.01%. Any family that has children born with elemental Soul will immediately have a higher status in society. All Emperors, Popes, Presidents, Kings, Queens, Counts, and Countess are actively seeking to employ mages to work for them.

There are many Mages Guilds ruled by the Mages Council. The leader of the Mages Council is a female named Gwenn Bigham. Gwenn is a Saint tier mage that has lived for more than twenty thousand years. The last Saint tier magic caster leader of the Mages Council became a God and traveled to another higher realm. He appointed Gwenn to take over his position regardless of many other powerful Saint Mages who are much more powerful than her. The Mages Council was created to keep mages in check to prevent them from going rogue. That is why all magic casters are required to obtain licenses from the Mages Council which granted them the authority to legally cast magic spells. Intermediate mages with level 11 to 20 can be recruited by the King 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 Mages 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 nations to nations to find and kill those 'bad mages.'

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, thirty-three years old, and Kain's mother, Natali Cobb, twenty-five years old, brought Kain to the capital city, Flumen, for examination to see if he had any Elemental Soul when he was three years old. The exam was very simple, each child will be given a small crystal. 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), 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 a magic caster.

The examiner was shocked when he saw the crystal explode in Kain's hand. He has worked as the examiner for the last thirty-five years and this has never happened before. That indicated Kain had Twin Soul and immediately commanded the guards to kill him. Hagar was trained as a warrior and he served as Bifjorkian Theocracy's law enforcer for ten years in the town of Nazah. Hagar knows the law indicated that Twin Soul children are evil and have to be executed. However, as a father that loved his son very much. Hagar refused to let any harm come to his children. He knocked out a guard using his fist then grabbed that guard's spear to protect Natali and Kain in an attempt to escape. Hagar was a very well trained warrior, but he alone can not win against two hundred thousand guards stationed in Flumen. Hagar and Natali were captured and killed in front of Kain. After that, a guard restrained Kain while another guard was about to stab Kain in the throat. Suddenly, a lightning strike hit that guard and immediately stunned him. The lightning strike then jumped from one guard to the other. A total of ten guards standing near Kain were stunned and could not move.

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. Ten seconds later, he casted [Conjure Thunder Eagle], level 11 Conjuration Spell, that summoned 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 very fast 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 the Thunder Eagle was conjured by a Legend Conjurer Mage, then it would be immune to all Novice, Intermediate, and Master's Thunder spells.

The Conjurer Mage commanded the 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]. 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. However, it will actively drain the mana of the magic caster. If the mage refused to deactivate the [Thunder Step] spell after several minutes of using, then his/her mana pool could be depleted and he/she won't be able to cast any other spell for a short period of time.
