2022-04-18 18:56:26"Huff huff"-loud breathing was coming out of my mouth as I ran past the never-ending hallways.
"DAMN IT"-I let out a scream of defeat.
The only thing keeping me alive right now was the thought of leaving my little brothers alone. Running, I felt my heart palpitating at a frightening rate.
My feet were giving in. "My heart will burst at this rate," I said to myself in a husky voice tempered by the sheer amount of running that I had done at that point.
"HELP HEELP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF THERE IS ONE AT THIS POINT, HELP ME, YOU BASTARD" My throat hurts from the screams that I constantly let out, hoping that at one point somebody would hear even though I was alone in this godforsaken castle.
With no options left, I had resorted to something so stupid that even an amateur would not do.
I could hear them approaching me with velocity. The screams that I let out moments ago had led them to me. "How could I make such a dumb mistake, screaming at the top of my lungs praying to god-like there is one, to begin with…only to lead this filth to me."
As I knew whispering to myself would only make the situation worse and slow me down, I quickly set myself behind a pillar to make some room for evading these creatures.
"For fucks sake, I cannot see an end to these hallways, and they said that this was a 5th class mission" as I was resting behind the thick pillar, I began to remember pieces of memories blurred by the sheer amount of adrenaline going through my body. It had been almost two weeks since I entered this rift.
I had been told that this rift had been the lowest difficulty and would most likely be a quick buck to make, and I needed to feed my twin brothers, Rennie and Reggie.
Taking out some leftover meat that I tested earlier to see if it could attract the creatures, I started making a trail of blood and pieces of meat around the pillars leading in the way that I had come from, hitting two birds with one stone which allowed me not to lose myself again and show the creatures away from me.
With the time I had given myself, I made sure to run as fast as I could towards the door.
Loud audible running could be heard as I was heading full speed ahead, not looking back at those terrifying dark-shaded creatures. I always hated the darkness. It always made me uncomfortable not knowing what lies in it. But little did I know that this rift, or should I say this castle, would be the beginning of the truth. My truth…
Clack!
The door made a loud sound as I opened it, and it echoed throughout the hallway that I had just passed.
Screech!
Hearing as the disgusting lumps of darkness began to drag what looked like a pair of feet, they quickly stampede towards the same door that I had just opened. My pupils dilated, and my heart began to beat like it would burst out of my chest at any moment.
" Come on, CLOSE UP, GOD DAMN IT" I started to shout in the heat of pure angst and a tad bit of annoyance because the door was too heavy and barely opened in the first place.
My fear continued to grow further as the shadowy creatures approached me at an alarming speed. "DAMNN YOUUU" my only thinking at that point was to close the door and nothing else.

[Rosewood villa meeting room]We were gathered in the meeting room beforehand by Iran to talk about the way we would approach the resurrection of the DracoFist Famiglia. This was a very sensitive matter so I could not understand why he brought Rennie and Reggie in here."Welcome everyone, and before you ask Raphael the reason why I brought the twins here is that they are now both my official apprentices," he said as if he read my face."But they are still eight years old what do they know about politics Iran?" I said as I was clearly annoyed by the haste decision of bringing them any stress. Their childhood had been stressful enough."Don't worry my liege, the young heirs are going to be attending here quite frequently, I want them to learn early on as that builds character." he firmly said."I sure hope this is the right thing to do, I trust you Iran."We carry on with the meeting, Tanna was there as well but she wasn't looking so good. I p
A History Lesson
"Come take a seat, Raphael; before we start physical training, we'll go over what you studied about Xer and "Sanctuary of Dawn."The Sanctuary of Dawn is what we call all territory that covers Xerith, our planet, according to what has been discovered so far and what is recorded in books. Xerith is divided into 5 main parts;[Paradisio Waterfalls] That is currently "The Royal House of Angels" territory.[Hell's Canyon] Which is under the rule of "Fiend Famiglia"[Fields of Silence] Under the "Ferrati Famiglia"[Moon Mirror] The oceanic territory of "The House of Blue Moon"[Nest of the Ancients] An abandoned territory that used to belong to "DracoFist Famiglia].There was a time when these regions were connected, prior to the discovery of The Chaos Orb in The "Nest of the Ancients." Following that, three decades[6500-6530] were spent experimenting with Chaos' fabric and attempting to understand how it operates, with little success. The
Caught off guard
"Come, Raphael, I want to talk to you about something." without hesitation she pulled me towards her room. Unlike before when she was dressed casually, she was now in a nightgown that didn't leave much to the imagination."What's wrong Tanna, why the sudden hold up?" I got flustered for a moment when our bodies met for a quick moment."Take a seat near the bed, I need to take measures for clothing," she said as she took out her measure tools. "We wouldn't want you to look bad in front of those snobs."Young nobles all around were known for dressing and going to occasional dances that they held within different households. Getting new clothes was exciting and all but what was floating in my mind right now was that the girl I had been interested in since my early years was standing in front of me, with nothing to hide.I had to get my mind out of the gutter she was just taking measures, that's it. After a short whil
Unconvincing
Tanna and I entered the bottom floor and were greeted by the housekeepers. Unlike the other royal house servants I'd seen before, these looked genuinely happy. Although unexpected, Iran was good to be different from the other nobles."Don't zone out and follow me we have a ton that you need to learn." Tanna interrupted my thoughts and pulled out two cards, handing them to me. "Im guessing you know what this is."", Yes, it's a talent evaluation card, but why do we need them?""You and your brothers will be entering the academy in one week, so getting them evaluated must be done," she said as we walked through the corridor. I currently had no idea where we were going and just followed her. We finally arrived in front of a door at the end of the hall."This is where you will train intensively with me as your instructor; you need to get in shape quickly for the academy acceptance test." Tanna pushed the door in front of us, and we entered a place that looked
Helping Hand
"Follow me now, Raphael. We need to make sure you get a new profile to enter the academy." He said while almost dragging me to the front desk that I had been at initially."Your license needs to be renewed for your name not to grab any attention. The least you can do right now is move in with me."He kept his voice firm as if not to accept any other answer. "Tanna will be your secretary and be close to you to fulfil your needs and wants, and she will keep you out of any legal trouble." We finally arrived at the reception, and Tanna gave me a flirty smile like she always did when I interacted with her."Meeting in 1 hour exactly, don't ask questions." Iran cut her off as she was getting ready to greet us."Yes, sir", she replied immediately.[Iran Rosewood's Villa]In terms of information, I had no reliable source, so the only thing I could do was rely on Iran at the moment. We then left the RWC and went to Iran's mansion soon after. He did not enter
You have never played chess?
The man who ordered me to sit and begin the trial was standing before me. On the other hand, I was stunned. I'd been told that this is a test on what to expect from a 4th-3rd rank rift. What was going through that man's head, I was wondering."Come on quickly, young man. We don't have all day, sadly."Hurriedly I took a seat, picked black, and he started a timer. "Do you know how to play chess?" the old man asks. "Well, I've heard of it but never had a chessboard to play with." That's unfortunate uh...what was your name again. "Sorry I forgot to mention it, my name is Raphael, what do i call you?"-"You can call me Iran." he said.I hesitated for a moment since I didn't want to claim that I was a DracoFist in front of a probable future enemy. "Raphael who, don't you have a surname young boy." he says, eagerly waiting for my move and answer. I move knight f6 and proceed cautiously. "How can a slum rat like me have a surname sir."He was visibly amused by my
