Chapter 1: Xing Heero (1)


    Heero was the name given to him by his grandfather. Heero''s grandfather wished his grandson would be a great Hero. However, everyone in the vige thought it was only his grandfather wishful thought.


    Even Heero himself never thought to be a Hero. After all, he was living in Xing Vige, in a remote corner of Dramonia. To be a Hero, one had to master the control of Ki for Fighter or master the control of Elemental Ki for Elementalist.


    One could only learn the control of Ki and Elemental Ki within Hero Academy. Meanwhile, Xing Vige was very far from Hero Academy which was located in a big city. For a mere poor family lived in a remote vige, be a Hero was only a dream.


    Heero never thought that he would be a Hero. Heero''s father and mother also had the same thought. It was too unrealistic to be a Hero for them who lived in a remote vige. To be a Hero but was just a dream that everyone yearned.


    Meanwhile, Heero''s grandfather, despite knowing this fact. Heero''s grandfather still named his grandson Heero with thought his grandson would be the next Legendary Hero Mikail.


    Before the appearance of the Legendary Hero Mikail, Dramonia was hell for humans. The human was only a mere food in Beast''s eyes and a ve in Specter''s eyes.


    Until one day, Mikail, the Legendary Hero appeared and freed humanity from the despair. The Legendary Hero Mikail fought the Beast and Specter for 300 years long before disappeared.


    The tales of Legendary Hero spread amongst the humans. It was said Mikail fought against Dragon God, the God of Beast Race and Purgatory God, the God of Specter race. Mikail perished together with the two Gods of the two races.


    But no matter what the reason for Mikail''s disappearance, it did not bring humanity down. Instead, the disappearance of Mikail brought a new era to Humanity, Era of Heroes. After the first Hero, the second Hero, the third Hero, and so on appeared.


    With many heroes appeared, Humanity stood a chance against the Beast and Specter. Heroes fought a bitter fight and freed humanity from the grasp of Specter and Beast.


    After thousands of years struggled, Humanity managed to upy manynds of Dramonia. The era of Heroes was a prosperous era for humanity. So it was not strange if many people had a dream to be a Hero. The hero was many people revered and yearned for.


    That was it, to be a Hero, one must have talent. But the most important to be Hero was a resource. Such as a basic technique Ki Comprehension, medicine to strengthen the body, and other advanced techniques.


    Basically, for the poor Heero who lived in a remote vige, to be a Hero was impossible. The chance for him to be a hero was nil. Even so, Heero still showed enthusiasm when his grandfather was telling a tale of Legendary Hero Mikail.


    Heero was a kind-hearted teen and he did not want to disappoint his grandfather. Despite knowing it was impossible to be a Hero, Heero did not let his enthusiasm down, and the grandfather and grandson were always talking about heroes each they met.


    This Year Heero was 12 years old, just 3 years more he would reach marriageable age. Maybe at that time, he would no longer have a leisure time like this to hear the tale of heroes from his grandfather. 3 yearster, he would marry his childhood friend, Marrie who also his neighbor.


    Heero''s grandfather was the vige chief of Xing Vige and his father was working in the field with the other vigers. Sometimes they would go hunt in the jungle near the vige. The vigers in Xing Vige was more like a big family, and Heero loved his vige a lot.


    At this time, even though he yearned to be a Hero, Heero, however, never nned to be a Hero. He just wanted to live like his father. At least this was his thought at this time.


    "It''ste afternoon, Marrie should have returned from the Tailor Xing. I will go find her!" Hero hummed as he went to his childhood friend''s house.


    Just now, he was listening to another tale of heroes from his grandfather. King of Hero, this was the title for the Hero who had defeated Beast King or Specter King.


    Just now, his grandfather was telling a story about this King of Hero. Xing, the King of Hero who defeated 3 Beast King and 2 Specter King. However, Xing died 500 years ago, 4 Beast King cooperated with 3 Specter King to kill Xing the King of Hero. The story was amazing and he found that his admiration toward Hero deepened.


    Heero also felt somehow his grandfather was more excited than usual when he was telling Xing the King of Hero. Despite his admiration toward Hero increased, but it did not change his mind to have a happy life in this remote vige.


    He just wanted to marry his childhood friend, Marrie and led a happy life with her. At the least, Heero thought so until a yearter, Specter attacked the remote vige he loved.


    Thest vision he saw was his house inme and a thought appeared in his mind, "If only I am a Hero, I can prevent this to happen!"


    Before Heero lost his consciousness, there were two words drifted into his hears,


    "Son, if you cane out alive from here, don''t seek revenge for me and your father. You only need to lead a happy and continue our family line!" This was his father''sst words.


    Meanwhile, the other voice belonged to his grandfather, "Don''t try to be a hero anymore. You must have a good life and continue our family line. Don''t even try to get revenge for us."


    Heero grandfather, the person who urged him daily to practice to be a Hero, advising him to give up to be one. Heero did not know what his grandfather thought. He could not think why his grandfather who always yearned his grandson to be Hero now changed his mind.


    Maybe, the specter who attacked the vige instilled a deep fear toward his grandfather. Or maybe his grandfather wanted him to continue their family line. But no matter what the reason was, Heero would never find the reason as those words were thest time he would hear his grandfather.


    "I amte!" A man sighed as he saw the debris of the vige still on fire.


    The man that looked about 20 years old stood before a ruined vige. This man looked extremely handsome, wearing white in clothes, and his clothes were spotless from any stain.


    He was a Saint. Saint was different from Heroes, they did not fight to kill the beast or specter. Saint had only one duty, it was to make sure humanity did not perish from Dramonia. If Dragon God was the grand protector of the Beast Race, then Saint was the Grand Protector of Human Race.


    Saint would never meddle in the worldly affairs, their only duty was just to make sure the continuation of the human race. He sighed as he could not get what he wanted, he did not feel sad or sorrow for the vigers buried underneath the debris. He had witnessed many deaths, so he was used to seeing this kind of scene.


    But he could not get his goal as his main objective was buried underneath the debris. Yes, he was looking for a disciple. Recently, he just learned a divination technique and seeded. Saint used his divination to look for his sessor as he could not find a suitable sessor of his position.


    The divination told him his sessor was in this remote vige. Beside found his sessor was in this vige, his divination also told him the vige would encounter a disaster soon. That was why he hurried toe here, but it was toote. The vige had be a ruin, he could not detect a single life Eh!?


    With his keen sense, he found there''s someone who survived. Saint rushed toward debris of a house that was located in the center of the vige. With a wave of his hand, the debris was gone, and he found a pile of corpses. On the topmost, it was an old man corpse, below the old man corpse, there was a middle-aged man corpse, below the middle-aged man, there was a woman corpse.


    Saint picked the woman''s corpse and found a boy who was still breathing weakly. It was a miracle the boy survived under such a situation. He picked the boy, he looked carefully at the boy''s pale face, and then he stunned.


    The boy''s face was the same face he saw in divination. Saint overjoyed that his sessor was survived the disaster and he was notte. It was not strange for Saint to be overjoyed.


    The criteria to be a sessor of Saint was not hard to look at. Talent? No, to be a Saint, one did not need to be talented. Actually, the condition was simple yet also hard. Kind-hearted, righteous heart, pure mind, benevolent, and firm will.


    It was easy to find this criterion on a baby, but Saint could not adopt a baby and choose the baby he raised up. Who set up these criteria? Of course, the predecessor of Saint. The current Saint was so frustrated and wasted a hundred years'' time only to learn divination techniques to seek his sessor.


    Now, he found his sessor. It was natural for the Saint overjoyed when he found the boy.


    But then, the joy vanished and a frown appeared. Saint looked at three corpses on his side, there was no doubt these three were the boy''s family.


    Saint shook his head and let out another sigh. After that, he took out a transparent vial. Inside the vial, a transparent liquid that hard to detect. If one did not look carefully, one would think the vial was empty.


    Saint drank the transparent liquid to the boy. In an instant, the weak breath became stable. Now, the boy was more like sleeping and the boy was Heero.
