Fallen Hero System

Pacing forward out from the battlefield known to the entire Empire as God's Descent, I left behind the countless statues which were frozen in time never to reemerge within the minds of those who cannot accept the past.

Inside the camp I can spot movement in abundance, the entirety of the camp had not expected my return so quickly much less at all. They in fact made bets amongst themselves as to wether I would come back alive or remain at the battlefield for eternity.

The sound of a guard yelling to his subordinate could be heard as I walked forward. "He has returned! Go and report to the Leader, go immediately!"

"Yes sir!" And then I saw that the figure had disappeared into the deeper parts of the camp.

Walking inside, on my back could be seen a large sack that seemed to be full with an assortment of items. Each of the members of the group had known exactly as to what they were in search of and could only gaze at the sack with an expression of surprise, trembling within.

Each of them knew that what I had with me could be known as simply invaluable. Each and every item could buy them the position of a noble if presented to the Emperor and his Advisor.

So they looked amongst themselves and stared into the eyes of one another. Coming to the same joint conclusion each member had a fire burning within them and…

They took fighting stances, raising the blades at their side and spears from their backs as well as the shield attached to their arms, all were ready to fight a battle. Yet from the get go they were never my opponents.

But finally the silence was broken by one, "All of us, go and get those Imperial Arms!"

"""""AAHHH!!!""""

After their small display of will, I gave up on them and decided to show them who the fuck they were messing with.

Making several hand signs and placing my balled up fist to allow a funnel for air leaving my mouth I said out "Fire Style: Flame Ring!" I then spun in place allowing the fire to spread around me and creating a flame barrier between the random mobs and myself.

None were ever a threat, and now that was painfully so for those who looked at the rising circle of flame that acted as a wall.

Noticing the great increase of heat, Najenda made a great sprint toward the location in the center of the camp. Here she found a wall of fire that her subordinates were each looking on in fear. Fully acknowledging that they could have died if I so wished them to.

Speaking out on behalf of her subordinates Najenda wished to find a resolution "Ace, I apologize for the actions and thoughts of my subordinates and fully wish to complete our cooperation with each other. So please, do not hold a grudge and allow us to speak." She spoke clearly and respectfully, seeking my cooperation and understanding.

Letting myself go I decide on my new terms "Then allow for our terms to be rearranged, these Imperial Arms which I carry. Half are now mine." As I spoke this one line the flames which once surrounded me began to die off and are extinguished.


Looking at my face as I said these words, Najenda was about to refute but what she saw was a face that was slightly contorted and visibly showed off the veins which flow within. This sight before her and the last display of power had shaken her causing her to take a single step back, more than enough to show her subordinates what they had truly done and that was anger a being they should have left alone.

The being before them had caused their leader to take a step back. Only the Emperor and his Advisor had accomplished such a feat before.

-----------------------------------

Within the main tent of the camp, sat both Najenda and Ace. Here they were seated around a table which had the sack that most if not all the beings in the world would gladly do anything to get their grimy hands on if at all possible.

But that is indeed an impossible task. Because death is irrelevant to the being who the sack was strapped to the back of.

"Najenda, within this sack are several items that can easily bring about a massive change to the forces of anybody. Though almost half w=of what I got my hands on are nothing but scarps at this point." As I spoke I undid the not that held the sack together and after doing so it opened up wide and speed out he items within to bare to the world.

Four trinkets were absolutely trashed and destroyed leaving the other four as a mysterious bunch of items that none within the Empire could accurately identify. But as Najenda looked on at the items she was confused "What do you mean that you want half? I thought we already agreed to those terms?"

Looking at her I explained with ease "I'am stating that I get all the trashed Imperial Arms and half of those that remain. Those are my new terms."

The eyebrow above Najenda's left eye began to scrunch up and her eyes then proceeded to close as she rubbed them as if to massage away her frustration. She cam a long way only to return with the worst two of four Imperial Arms, at least she got two as the other are bound to bring nothing back at all.

"Then let us take a look at them, from your blueprints you should be able to identify them… Correct?" Looking Najenda in the eyes I of course said that I could.

Now that I look down upon the Items I gave them one more Appraisal as to make sure that I remembered correctly. As even my memories can lie to me.

[Equipment(Spear)(Broken): General's Wish: Decimation]

[Equipment(Giant Gunbai): Wind Breakthrough: Hurricane]

[Equipment(Axe): Minotaur Axe: Mountain Crash]

[Equipment(Hammer): Heavy Weight: Continent Crush]

The first four consisted of those that were scrap and no longer usable, they were no longer in diet need of repair as they were unsalvageable beyond this point.

'Decimation' Was completely smashed along the shaft and the tip, though I managed to gather all the pieces it had broken into. Repairing it would be near impossible without a proper workstation and melting the tip to reform it.

'Hurricane' was smashed, most probably by 'Continent Crush' before it had been cut and torn apart by 'Mountain Crash' when the both of them had met on the battlefield and clashed only to destroy one another and kill their weilders.

[Equipment(Shoes): Speedster: Light Movement]

[Skill Pill(Soul Skill): Banshee Shriek: Soul Shatter]

[Equipment(Soul Chains): Soul Chains: Prison Sentence]

[Equipment(Scythe): Life Reaper: Blood Harvest]

'Speedster: Light Movement' is a pair of shoes that surround the wearer in a shield that blocks out the wind and even has some sigils on the bottom which allow the wearer to jump off the air and even help speed them up. The maximum speed of the shoes depend up to the one who wears them, the stronger their legs then the faster their movement as the wind that shoots out will only grow stronger. The ultimate is an attack that is basically a giant cannon that can shoot the wearer at the speed of light while simultaneously, the sigil manipulates the wearers perception and movement speed to match that of the speed of ten times that of sound. This last for only a moment similarly to Esdeath's Ultimate '' where she freezes time around her for a moment. The downside to this item is very easy to state, after every usage of the ultimate a large amount of strain is put onto the legs of the individual that causes no serious or lasting damage as long as it is used in large increments and not heavily relied upon.

'Banshee Shriek: Soul Shatter' is a pill like item that gives the eater the Unique Skill to attack with their voice and even gives the max out skill 'Singing' so that the usage is much easier than most. The Pill will then lodge itself into the eaters head, after death the Pill will then be found inside the skull of the previous eater. The Unique Ability of this Imperial Arm is the ability to directly attack the mentality and overtime it will even deal damage to the soul of those within range, the downside is that the users voice will eventually be left as nothing and it can also damage the soul of the user if they use the ultimate for to long and lose control. This has no restriction on me do to the system adjusting it for my usage.

'Soul Chains: Prison Sentence' this item doesn't actually involve the soul, as it is an item that acts as a tattoo when on standby but as it is in usage will transform into an actual chain that will form to the will of the user and act to their accord. The ultimate is the ability to chain down anything and deny it the ability to use any of their own abilities, Ie: Esdeath will be unable to user her ice, Pumpkin will not fire any lasers, Incursio will not be able to transform or have the transformed state weaken to that of a human, and will act on many others. The downside is that the chains will weaken as the essence is drawn from the chains to hold down other abilities and the like, it will even grow brittle over time and will break off piece by piece until none of the chain is left.

'Life Reaper: Blood Harvest' is used in the way just as the name suggest. It as a scythe that was meant to kill everything and anything, that leads me to the downside and that is it will make attempts to kill the wielder at times when their guard is completely down. The ultimate of this Imperial Arm is that it can unleash multiple copies of itself and the user that are good for exactly one attack and the amount is up to how much stamina the user has, the more energy the more clones and this will go on until there is no energy to use. A monstrous Arm that is meant to kill countless beings by completely overwhelming the opposing side with numbers and a devastating attack.

And looking down upon the Items from above I explained the minimal needed to know information on the Imperial Arms laid out to Najenda. Najenda can only look down and scrutinizes the items as they are, completely aware that they are monstrously powerful weapons that can easily used to turn the tides of a war if used correctly. And so she was unwilling to let any of them go. But as she was in a great need of Arms so as to raise her standing in the military she can only accept that she will only be able to leave with two of the items today.

"So, which two will you take with you? Ace." Najedan was obviously trying to get the best ones as they are completely useful to an infinite extent. But even so she knew clearly to give the first choice to Ace.

"Lets decide tho in turns. I'll go first and choose the 'Soul Chains: Prison Sentence'." After speaking my piece I grabbed the soul chains and stuck them into my bag where i then inserted them into my inventory.

"Then I will not hold back and take 'Banshee Shriek: Soul Shatter'." Najenda then picked up the pill that laid on the table and stuck it into a small specula case for protection.

Now it was my turn once more… Let me tell you that neither of these two items are truly of any real use to me… But I stretched out my hand and picked up a really piece of gold, a new weapon that will allow blood to flow smoother than that of rivers… "I choose, 'Life Reaper: Blood Harvest'." And finally I wrapped it up and set it to the side where it was promptly switched out with another random spear that was hid in my inventory, good thing that it can be folded to seem like a pole arm when hidden.

After Najenda picked up the last Imperial Arms and rose from her chair. She had opened her mouth to speak and continue our talk… When we were met with unwelcome news.

"Leader Najenda! An attack by Danger Beast, there are to many. We must escape immediately!"
