CHAPTER 1: MEET THE

HERO
In a time that is long forgotten,
there lived a legend where only a
few knows it exist in our modern
world. A legend about a hero,
some have called him a fool, some
have called him a savior, but to a
special few he is known as Arthur.
Arthur is a 16-year old high school
boy, he was born on the 15th of
May, 2004. He is very talented in
acting and in filmmaking, he has
very high grades with an IQ of
161, he is an intellectual. It seems
like he is the most prefect human
of all, but all of us are not perfect,
including Arthur.

1
Well you see my little listeners,
Arthur has a 2 dark secret that he
doesn’t want anyone to know, not
even his friends.
Arthur’s 1st secret is that he is very
lazy, he is lazier than a rock, he’s
also lazier than a sloth, he doesn’t
do chores or clean his room, he
only sits on the couch and stay
there and eat, he only does this
when he’s at home with his
family, and he tries to hide it in
school and to his friends.
His 2nd and final secret, the darkest
of them all is that he has 8th grade
syndrome ever since birth, and he
is not afraid to show it to school or
anywhere in society.

2
It’s a special kind of syndrome
that originated in a long forgotten
land, it’s where a person’s
imagination is very childish and
unrealistic, like having magical
powers, or a reincarnation of your
dead relative, who secretly is a
powerful warrior that shall fulfill
the prophecy of the great hero.

Now back to Arthur, ever since he


was a child he always thinks to
himself that he is the chosen
knight of light from the heavens
that shall protect the world from
the great darkness of evil in the
incoming future and this is his
story on how he became the
greatest hero of our time.

3
Our journey begins in the land of
Wattsburg, Pennsylvania where
Arthur is living with his parents
and his only sister.
Arthur was in deep slumber in his
chamber, where no one is allowed
to enter, except for the one and
almighty God & Goddess who
gave birth to him, which it was
only his parents.
As he was in deep slumber, a
mysterious voice came upon him
“Rise Arthur, from your deep
slumber and thou shall do your
duties as a knight.” & from that
one phrase, Arthur has awoken
from his slumber with the light
shines upon him and the cool wind
making his hair dance with joy.

4
As he clears his vision, it was the
Goddess who spoke to him during
his slumber. But that was only in
Arthur’s perspective….
In reality this is what actually
happened,
“ARTHUR WAKE UP!!!
YOU’RE GOING TO BE LATE
FOR SCHOOL!!!” his mother
screamed and after that as she
walks towards the window to open
the curtains to let the light hit his
face directly, she also opened the
window to also let the cool wind
come in to his room.
Arthur has finally woken up from
his sleep and starts to change his
clothes.

5
He wears his very knightly suit of
armor, which is only a black long-
sleeved hoodie with a safety vest
covering it, a ragged black pants, a
very long & old leather boots, and
finally a bucket for a helmet. After
changing, Arthur went downstairs
with his trusty steed named Ash,
which is only a stuffed toy horse’s
head with a stick attached to it on
the bottom. Arthur finally arrived
at the small round dining table
with Ash, and sat down with his
family, his father named Herman
which he’s the God, his mother
named Bethany the Goddess, and
his sister named Merlin the most
powerful magic user in all realms,
at first it looks normal. But in
Arthur’s perspective…he thinks
that he’s dining at royal banquet,
6
like the one in the Buckingham
Palace in England where Queen
Elizabeth lives.
His imagination of the dining
room has a chandelier with
crystals that are shining and
twinkling like the stars at night, a
plate made out of pure gold,
utensils made from obsidian that
can cut a dragon’s skin, and a table
cloth made out of the dragon scale.
Thus they began to feast, as Arthur
bites into the food it was so
delicious as if a thousand angels
came down upon him from the
heavens. After the feast, he washes
his hands with the holy water in
the fountain of youth to remove all
the impurity on him and proceed
to do his duties as a knight.

7
To clarify for a normal person, he
ate breakfast and the food was so
delicious that he wants more to
eat, washes his hands in the faucet
and went to school. On his way to
school, he encountered a foe, the
sitting goblin it just sat there
staring at Arthur aggressively and
waiting for him to attack.

Arthur prepares for battle, he


wielded his sword the legendary
Claidheamh Mòr or Claymore for
short, forged from the very depths
of hell, empowered by the icon of
sin itself, and blessed by the lords
above. But nontheless, Arthur has

8
yet to defeat the sitting goblin and
gave up so proceeded to his
journey. That was just in Arthur’s
imagination, but in reality he is
fighting a fire hydrant using a mop
stick, and gave up so he went to
school.

9
CHAPTER 2: The Gates
of Hell

After a tiring journey, Arthur


finally arrives at school which is
how a normal person sees. But
to Arthur, it’s a dangerous place,
called “The Gates of hell”,
where many heroes around the
land comes to fight and collect
treasure in the dungeon. As
Arthur head towards the front
gate, someone shouted
“MASTER!!!” after that
everybody turned their head
including Arthur and looked at
the direction where the voice
came from. All of them saw a
figure in a distance, it was

10
Gunther, Arthur’s peasant. He’s
wearing a armor of that of a
common squire, old and rusty.
Arthur shouted “Gunther, my
loyal and trusty squire. Come,
and we shall set foot on The
Dungeon of Nalch”
“Indeed, we shall set foot I was
merely waiting for you sire.”
Gunther replied
Thus, Arthur and Gunther
treaded into the dungeon. They
headed into the first room, but
they encountered 2 massive orcs
wielding giant war hammers
made of steel. “Master, I’m
afraid...” Gunther said with a
trembling voice, “No need to
fear my squire, I shall vanquish

11
these demons to the ends of the
earth, with my holy mighty
sword Claidheamh Mòr.” Arthur
replied with no sign of fear in
his voice, and Gunther looks up
to him. “With the power of the
elder Gods bestowed upon me, I
will vanquish you to the ends of
the earth.” Arthur slashes his
holy mighty sword Claymore on
one of the orc’s arm off, and the
orc screams in agony while the
other one watches in fear, as he
witnessed the terrifying moment
of Arthur cutting his friend’s
arm off with his holy mighty
sword Claidheamh Mòr. Both
orcs flee from the battle and
were never seen again.

12
So to clarify for normal people
in this part, Arthur arrived at
school and someone shouted
“Master” and it was Gunther,
Arthur’s best friend since
childhood.
He’s wearing normal clothes,
like I mean normal, with a
normal plain red shirt and
normal pants. Arthur really did
say “Gunther, my loyal and
trusty squire. Come and we shall
set foot on The Dungeon of
Nalch”, but Gunther really said
“Um… Yeah, we’re going to
miss first period.”
Both of them went inside, as
they were heading to their
classroom 2 massive jocks

13
carrying meat tenderizer (they
were heading to cooking class),
accidentally bumped to Arthur
and Gunther.
One of the jocks said “Don’t get
in my way, you puny squirt” and
Arthur was filled with rage.
Gunther turned his head to
Arthur, and he saw the most
terrifying face that you could
ever imagine. Arthur draws the
mop stick with no hesitation,
Gunther tries to stop Arthur. But
it was too late, Arthur swung the
mop stick at one of the jocks,
and many people saw what
Arthur had done, many
murmured of what’s happening.
“OWWW!!!” the jock shouted in
pain and his hand formed into a
14
fiery fist ready to hit Arthur, but
the other jocks knows what’s
going to happen & stopped his
friend and said “Remember what
the principal said, one more fight
and we’re out of the team.” The
jock calmed down and backs
away from Arthur and Gunther,
“Fine, let’s leave these weirdos.”
Both jocks walked away from
Arthur and Gunther, Arthur
celebrated with a big smile on
his face and raised his sword as
he achieved complete victory
from the battle, that he thought
was impossible. But Gunther on
the other hand, was shaking in
fear of what just happened.
“We did it squire! We’ve
defeated the two orcs of the

15
dungeon.” Arthur speaking to
Gunther with an overjoyed face.
“I- indeed we have.” Gunther
replied still with fear and the
thought on his mind was filled
with the word “Death”.
“Come my squire! We shall
continue are journey through the
Dungeon of Nalch!” Arthur
shouted with confidence and
made everyone in the hall look
at the both of them.
Arthur marches forward with
Gunther walking behind him
still with the thought of death
and fear inside him. “I thought
we were going to die.” Gunther
whispered to himself. After a
long and tiring journey, Arthur

16
and Gunther has finally arrived
at their destination.
“We have arrived at the
workshop of the wizard,
master.” Gunther informed
Arthur “Shall we step foot in?”
“Indeed we shall my trusty
squire.” Arthur replied
The two stepped foot in the
workshop (a.k.a. the classroom)
of the wizard (a.k.a. the teacher),
as they’ve entered the room.
Everyone in class had stopped
what they were doing, and have
suddenly turned their head
towards at them.
“Look at the other heroes here in
this workshop, they are staring
at us.” Gunther told Arthur

17
“They must have noticed how
strong and powerful I am.”
Arthur replied with full
confidence.

While Arthur and Gunther are


talking, the heroes kept on
staring at the two of them. As
everyone was staring at them,
Arthur had sensed and ominous
presence that is very powerful
than everyone else in this room.
“Come my squire! We must find
our thrones quickly!” Arthur told
Gunther
“B- but why master?” Gunther
asked
“The Grand Wizard is coming, I
can sense his presence. His
18
presence seems like he can
destroy the five realms of this
world. Come, no time to waste
now” Arthur replied
As the two were searching for
their thrones, everyone in the
room are still staring at them
with no sign of stopping. Both
Arthur and Gunther had found
their seat and both sat right next
to each other and waited for the
great wizard to arrive.
While the two were waiting, the
ground had suddenly shooked,
the light was covered in eternal
darkness, and lightning fell from
the sky. Thus, the great wizard
has arrived. The workshop
became silent, and the smell of
fear was powerful as the eternal
19
darkness. The great wizard
walks towards the table in front
and just stood there staring at the
heroes, including Arthur. It gave
everyone chills below their
spine, the silent became even
more silent than ever because of
how intimidating the great
wizard is.
But one person wasn’t afraid of
anything at all, and it was our
brave and mighty hero… Arthur.
The wizard suddenly raises his
hand and shouted “Gol Hah
Dov!”
With these three words, the gates
of hell were opened and the hand
of the demon Cthulhu comes out
of it carrying a book and gave it

20
to the wizard. The wizard
opened it, words are starting to
flies out for a moment and have
suddenly stop.
*inhales*
“Say “aye” if your name is
called.” The wizard said
The wizard started to call all of
the heroes’ name, and all the
heroes responded to the wizard
including Arthur. After every
hero was called, he introduced
himself
“I am Brolin, the great and
powerful wizard of this very
workshop I’ve created with my
own magic.”
The wizard looks at all of the
heroes closely and carefully, and
21
he noticed Arthur. The wizard
can see all of the auras in every
living being, but when he looked
at Arthur. It was quite odd,
Arthur has no aura. After the
wizard looked at all of them, he
suddenly said
“We shall have a trial. A test to
determine of who will be worthy
to stay in my workshop as me
you’re wizard.”
With the swipe of the wizard’s
hand everyone was teleported to
an unusual place. Everyone was
clueless including Arthur,
everyone doesn’t know what is
going on.
Bzzzzttt

22
“This morning we shall have a
trial to see who is worthy to
wtay in my workshop” The
wizard said and everyone was
trembling in fear, for what’s
ahead in their trial. But Arthur
on the other hand, was
celebrating in joy.
“LET THE TRIAL
COMMENCE!!!”

Now is the time to clarify for the


normal people out there, after
the Arthur won the fight. Arthur
and Gunther continues to find
their classroom, and luckily
they’ve found it. Upon arriving
there, people noticed them
immediately and Arthur thought

23
that everyone has sensed his
powerful presence in the
classroom. But… it wasn’t. It
was his clothes, his so called
“very knightly armor” everyone
couldn’t stop staring at how
ridiculous Arthur was wearing.
While they were staring, Arthur
noticed that their teacher is
coming, so he and Gunther
hurriedly find their sit while
everyone keeps on staring at
Arthur. After finding their sit,
they waited for their teacher to
arrive.
Thus, he arrived that seemed like
minutes turned to eons. Their
teacher had arrived and started
to take roll calls to see if anyone
is absent. After taking roll calls,

24
he looked around the room to get
a better look of his students. He
immediately noticed Arthur and
his ridiculous outfit. So he
thought that Arthur was a dumb
kid, but he doesn’t know that. So
he surprised everyone with a test
to see if Arthur was dumb. Thus,
the great trial has commenced.

Chapter 3: The Great


Trial

Everyone was in shock, the great


wizard smirked. The knights
were not ready for the trials of
the gate of hell. Only those
25
whose minds and body made of
steel may pass through the gates
of hell, and Arthur is one of
them. He was no afraid of no
trial that was given by the
wizard, he was rather jolly with
what is happening.
“Finally! A trial! I shall find a
worthy opponent who shall face
me!” Arthur said.

He wielded his holy-mighty


sword Claymore and marches
forward with no sign of fear of
any kind. The trial contains 5
rooms, the 1st room is the
starting point where Arthur was
preparing for battle, the 2nd – 4th
rooms is where the trial begins,

26
and the last and final room is the
finishing point or the exit of this
trial. Arthur entered the first
room for the first trial and
what awaits him inside is
something that normal humans
are afraid of, it is the very image
of death himself and his name is
“Lucifer”.
“Who dares enter the room of
Lucifer” Lucifer said
“It is I, Arthur, the one that is
chosen by the Gods and
Goddesses to become the knight
of light of this world and to
protect all the innocent people
from the eternal darkness.”
Arthur replied

27
“You foolish human, do you
know who I am? I am Lucifer
the prince of darkness, the image
of death himself.” Lucifer is full
pride right now, for thinking he
is as powerful as death.
“Arthur eh… You are nowhere
near my strength foolish human.
You are no knight of light, the
knight of light no longer existed
in this world.” Lucifer said
“But there is one right in front of
you.” Arthur replied to Lucifer
Lucifer doesn’t believe in Arthur
and only thinks a little of him,
“Then prove yourself foolish
human that you are the very
knight of light of this world.”
Lucifer said

28
Lucifer wielded his long scythe,
it’s edge was as sharp as the
peak of the Mt. Everest, his
wings were as dark as the pure
midnight of the dark realm,
Lucifer was also wearing his
cloak of midnight were no light
can pass through it and was as
tough as a minotaur’s skin.
Lucifer prepared for the duel and
was waiting for Arthur’s attack.
“Come at me foolish human, and
strike me down like it’s your last
hope of survival.” Lucifer
taunted
“If I must.” Arthur replied
Arthur wielded his holy mighty
sword Claymore, and walk
towards Lucifer slowly with no

29
fear. The echoed sound of
Arthur’s footstep made Lucifer
feel fear for the very first time in
his life.
“What is this thing that I am
feeling right now? He’s only
walking towards me, but why is
he so intimidating.” Lucifer
talking to himself in his mind
As Arthur keeps getting closer
and closer, he’s footsteps are
also getting louder and louder.
Lucifer noticed his right hand,
the one that is holding the scythe
is shaking with fear.
“All of my senses are tingling,
they are all telling me that this
human is dangerous and are also

30
telling me to run.” Lucifer was
still talking to himself.
The footstep keeps on getting
louder and louder and suddenly
stops, Arthur was in front of
Lucifer and was waiting for
Lucifer to attack.
“So you decided to face me
human, that is quite brave of you
for facing me. But unfortunately,
you shall die.” Lucifer said
Arthur kept on looking at
Lucifer with a serious look on
his face but only for a short
moment, he was suddenly
chuckling.
“How can you kill me? When
you’re already dead.” Arthur
said while he was chuckling.

31
“What?” Lucifer asked with no
clue what Arthur was talking
about.
Before Lucifer noticed, his hand
that was holding his scythe was
already cut off in a blink of an
eye.
“AAAHHHHH!!! MY HAND!!!
B- BUT HOW?!?!!?” Lucifer
screamed while suffering the
pain.
But before Arthur could answer,
Lucifer’s head suddenly fell off
and was already dead without
knowing how Arthur did it.
Lucifer’s body was laying there
on ground with a puddle of
blood surrounding his carcass,
lifeless.

32
Arthur sighed, and proceeded
into the next room. As Arthur
went in, he was introduced with
the fiery breath of some creature.
But luckily, Arthur dodged it. As
Arthur dodged the first attack, he
was introduced to an attack of
steaming hot water and he
dodged it with ease, but the
attacks keeps on coming and this
time, roots of plants were
attacking him. As Arthur keeps
on dodging he’s getting a clear
picture of what is attacking him,
and it was the Elemental Hydra
the guardian of the Sacred
Forest, the Elemental Hydra has
three heads with 3 elements;
Fire, Water, & Plants.

33
“Why is the Elemental Hydra
here?!? He’s suppose to guard
the Sacred Forest” Arthur asked
the question to himself.
Arthur dodges more attacks of
the Elemental Hydra and keeps
on getting closer to counter an
attack, the Elemental Hydra was
in within Arthur’s range of
attack and he swung Claymore
to cut the three heads in one
swing. The three heads fell on
the ground, breathless. Arthur
finally gets a breather from all
those dodging from the
Elemental Hydra’s attack.
“What is the Elemental Hydra
doing here?” Arthur was talking
to himself as he was

34
investigating further on the cut
off head.
While Arthur investigates, he
heard a loud stomp. Arthur
looked back on the body and
was surprised to see it was
standing and looks like it was
ready to fight and has grown six
head with 3 new elements; wind,
rock, and ice.
*Sigh* “Not again.” Arthur was
getting annoyed of the Hydra
and wants to end it once and for
all.
Arthur once again wielded
Claymore and dodges more
attacks of the six headed hydra
and swung Claymore in one
slice once again.

35
After Arthur sliced the six heads
he noticed there’s a chain of
powerful magic binding the
Elemental Hydra in the room to
keep him from escaping. Arthur
breaks the chain of powerful
magic with a simple spell;
“Zerbechen” with that one word,
the Elemental Hydra was free
from the chains that binds him.
After the Hydra was revived and
had grown more heads, he
noticed that the chain was
broken and was free. The
Elemental Hydra bends down all
of its heads and was trying to
talk to Arthur
“Arthur of knight of light, I
thank thee for setting me free.
As a reward I shall bless you
36
with the protection of nature,
which every elements of nature
shall protect you with every
attack and will also heal the
wound you have suffered.”
Elemental Hydra said.
Arthur was thankful for the
blessing that was given to him,
by the Elemental Hydra and the
Hydra escaped by letting the
spirit of nature carry his own
spirit. Hydra suddenly
disappeared right in front of
Arthur in a blink of an eye.
“I forgot to ask him how’d he
get here. Dang it.” Arthur
regretted himself for not asking
the Elemental Hydra how’d he
got here.

37
Arthur walks towards the next
door to proceed to the next
room, he opened the door and
saw a room full of mirrors inside
the room. He was clueless why
the room was empty and
proceeded into the room with
caution. He went inside the room
and saw nothing but the image
of himself in all of the mirrors.
The mirrors stared into his soul,
but Arthur was confident to
defeat any foe he faces.
“They’re everywhere, and I only
see my own reflection.” Arthur
murmured
While Arthur was looking at
himself in the mirror, the mirror
fogged up and words became
visible. It says;
38
“Look at yourself and see who
you truly are, pick the one
worthy, then you shall pass but
pick the tainted ones then you
will see your true self.”
Arthur was confident enough to
know the answer.
“Ha! Surely the grandest one is
the correct answer!” Arthur was
so confident of his answer that
he didn’t hesitate to touch it.
The moment he touched his own
reflection, the mirror shattered
and the fragments of glass
withered away along with the
frames, and the dark mist filled
the room. The dark mist formed
into the very opposite image of

39
Arthur filled with Greed, Pride,
and Anger.
Arthur was shocked,
“How? How can this be?!”
Arthur shouted
As he questioned himself, the
dark figure drew its weapon and
charged at Arthur. Arthur was
unprepared, and barely dodged
the attack by the dark image.
Arthur was about to wield
Claymore, but the moment he
touched Claymore’s handle an
arrow whizzed past his head.
Upon wondering where did the
arrow came from, he looked
back at the dark figure and saw
it wielding a bow and was about
to draw another arrow. Arthur

40
saw this as an opportunity and
smirked.
“Your time has come foul
beast!” and as that, Arthur
charged towards the dark figure,
claymore in hand. But as he was
about to strike on the figure, the
figure suddenly moved. The
dark figure was swift, easily
anticipating Arthur’s attack.
Arthur was shocked, how can
something be so swift yet be so
relentless. And as the dark figure
moved, it brought a dagger and
stabbed Arthur in the back.
Arthur was hit! He has never
tried such a blow and he was
now in pain. Thankfully the
dagger did not pierce through his
back. Even with armor on,

41
Arthur felt the pain of the blow.
It was so powerful that it made a
dent on his mighty armor.
Arthur was starting to doubt
himself, if he could even defeat
this monstrosity. The dark figure
was getting more and more
angrier, and the angrier it gets,
the stronger it will become. But,
it will become dumber and
dumber. But Arthur didn’t know
that, so he keeps on fighting
with his own strength.
“RAHHHHHH!!! DIE FOWL
BEAST!!!” Arthur said as he
charged towards the dark figure
once again with his hands
gripping on Claymore tightly,
but the dark figure once again
hits Arthur in the chest with the
42
sword and Arthur fell to the
ground because of the blow in
the chest. Arthur was starting to
go unconscious but before he
could go unconscious, he’s
starting to hear voices. The voice
was soft and clear, and he
realized it was the Goddess’
voice.
“Arthur, I shall give you wisdom
to defeat this monster and you
shall erase it from the very
existence.” The Goddess said.
While Arthur was about to go
unconscious, the dark figure was
about to kill him using the tip of
his sword. But Arthur
miraculously regained strength
and dodged the incoming attack.
Arthur was desperate to defeat
43
this monster, but thanks to the
wisdom that was given by the
Goddess, Arthur was now
confident he can defeat the dark
figure.
“Now I shall kill you fowl
beast!” Arthur said
Arthur charged once again to the
beast, but this time Arthur is
looking at the beast closely on
how it moves to dodge it. The
dark figure swung at Arthur
once again, and Arthur finally
dodged the attack. After
dodging, Arthur backs away at
the beast to give room for it to
attack.
“Luminous” Arthur casted a
spell on his sword to make light

44
shines upon it. The beast keeps
moving towards Arthur to kill
him, but Arthur was just
standing there waiting for it. The
dark figure keeps getting closer
and closer and Arthur is still
standing with Claymore still
shining. As Arthur was within
the range of the dark figure, the
dark figure instantly swung his
blade directly at Arthur.
“Good night” Arthur smirked as
he said that one line.
Arthur blocked the incoming
attack coming from the dark
figure and grabbed the blade of
the dark figure’s sword.
“Release!!!” Arthur shouted the
spell and shoots the light that

45
was on Claymore to one of the
mirrors, and the light was
reflected by the mirror and the
dark figure was hit by the light.
The dark figure is turning back
into a mist.
“It’s over, *pant* it’s finally
over.” Arthur was overjoyed and
runs directly to the door.
Arthur opened the door and saw
a portal that leads a way back to
the real world.
Arthur steps into the portal, and
was back in the workshop. But
Arthur is the only person in the
workshop.
“Impressive young knight.” A
mysterious voice appears

46
Arthur looked at the direction
where the voice came from and
it was the great wizard.
“I am certainly impressed
Arthur, you’ve completed the
trial to the gates of hell.”
“You are the very first person to
complete the three trials in a
thousand years, and I shall give
you a reward.” The great wizard
raises his hands and clouds
coming from nowhere started
swirling around the wizard and
thus a mirror fell from the clouds
and landed on to the great
wizard’s palm.
“Here Arthur, this is your
reward.” The great wizard said

47
“I will humbly accept this, I
thank thee great wizard.” Arthur
replied
Upon looking at the mirror, it
was the magic mirror of Asgard,
which it can transport its user to
their quarters. Arthur was
overjoyed by the reward that
was given to him by the great
wizard.
Arthur used the mirror to go
home and was teleported outside
his castle. Arthur opened the
door, and realized no one was
home so he went inside his
castle and began un-equip his
armor and weapons.
Arthur was famished after the
trial, so he went into the kitchen

48
to grab food for his warrior
stomach. Arthur opened the
storeroom of the food, and no
food in there was to his liking,
so he closed the storeroom.
Upon closing the door, there was
a paper sticking on it and it has
name on it.
It read as;
“Arthur, the darkness has
arrived to reign over this land
and you must defeat it. Your
armor is in no condition to fight
and Claymore can’t defeat the
darkness with its own blade.
First, you must get the ultimate
armor beneath the Lake of the
Lady in the Lake, second grab
the Legendary Sword of
Cryptite, and last you must
49
obtain the orb that contains the
heaven’s light to drive the
darkness away. You are our only
hope Arthur.”
Arthur, was determined to defeat
the darkness and thanks to the
wisdom given by the Goddess he
can now defeat everything.
Now for normal people
perspective, Arthur’s teacher
gave everyone a test to see if
Arthur was dumb but what he
doesn’t know is that he is
actually smart.
The test were contains only three
question, the first question was
an identification and Arthur
answered the first question with
ease, next the second question

50
has a typo error in the question
and Arthur noticed it so he leave
that one blank, and finally the
last question was quite a tricky
one for Arthur it was a math
problem but luckily he
remembered what his mother
said is to always slowly solve
things slowly.
After that he was the first person
to finish the test and he let his
teacher checked it, and Arthur
got a perfect score.
His teacher was impressed so as
a reward, he uses his power as a
teacher to let Arthur leave the
school early.
So Arthur left, and went home.
When he got to his house, no

51
one was home. Arthur went in
and starts to take off everything,
he was also hungry so he went
into the kitchen and opened the
fridge but he doesn’t like the
food in there.
When he closed the door, there
was a to do list stuck to it. It has
only three chores, first was to
get the dry cleaning, second was
to buy a new mop and lastly is to
buy new batteries for the
flashlight.

CHAPTER 4: THE
QUEST FOR THE
ARMOR

Arthur didn’t hesitate to go on


this treacherous journey to
defeat the darkness, and he sets
foot on the journey. He called
upon his mighty steed “Ash” and
to go on in this journey. Ash
arrived as fast as the wind, with
no fear to come along with his
master.
Arthur hops on the back of Ash
and said “Let us ride Ash!!! We
shall defeat the darkness
together!!!” thus, Arthur rode off
with Ash to accomplish the first
quest to defeat the darkness.
53
The journey is not easy, and it’s
quite a long one. The armor is
located at “The deep lake of the
Lady in the lake” and Arthur has
no clue what lurks within the
lake, he only heard of tales of
other heroes from other lands.
He heard that many heroes died
trying to swim in the lake,
because of the many beasts
living in it. But Arthur wasn’t
afraid, of no beast in the water, it
just makes him more excited to
arrive at the lake.
“Beast? Ha! They are just
creature living in the water, I
shall defeat it with no sweat.”
Arthur boasted

54
But to get to the lake he must
first cross “The River of
Poseidon” to get to the lake.
Arthur made Ash ran faster than
the wind and arrived at the River
of Poseidon in a split second.
The roars of running water was
scaring Ash, and Arthur was
trying to calm him down.
“Hold your horses Ash, it’s just
water.” Arthur said
But the roar of running water,
keeps getting louder and louder
as Arthur keeps on getting closer
and closer.
As Arthur and Ash gets closer
and closer, something flew out
of the river and it was fast. It
was faster than the human’s

55
vision, but Arthur was no
ordinary human. He is the knight
of light, from the heaven and he
is not like any other human.
Arthur sees its trail and throws
Claymore at the fast creature,
Claymore pierced the tree when
Arthur threw it. After Arthur
threw Claymore, the fast
creature was gone and Arthur
rans towards the direction on
where he threw Claymore.
Upon arriving, Arthur realized
what the fast creature was and
it’s wings was hanging on the
blade of Claymore.

“What strange creature is this?”


Arthur wondered

56
“LET ME GO YOU FOOLISH
HUMAN!!! YOU ARE A
FOOL FOR ANGERING THE
WATER SPIRIT OF THIS
RIVER!!!” the creature said
“Water Spirit?” and still Arthur
was clueless as ever
The water spirit was a nymph
that was small as a parrot and it
was majestic as an eagle.
“I’M THE GUARDIAN OF
THIS RIVER AND UPON
ANGERING ME YOU SHALL
DIE!!!” the water spirit shouted
in anger
The water spirit starts to recite
an ancient spell, where no
modern tongue can speak the old
tongue. But the down side of

57
using magic in speaking the old
tongue that it takes too long to
cast magic.
“Mollano… Timiento…
Silbero…” the water spirit
recited the spell
But Arthur on the other hand,
grabbed a leaf and stuffed it
inside the mouth of the water
spirit while she was reciting the
spell to attack Arthur.
The water spirit, spit out the leaf
that was stuffed inside her
mouth.
“HEY WHY’D YOU DO
THAT!?! THAT WAS
FOOLISH OF YOU FOR
ANGERING ME!!!” the water
spirit is now in full rage at

58
Arthur. So she started to recite
the spell once again.
But Arthur once again stuffed
the leaf inside the mouth of the
water spirit.
“HEY STOP THAT!!!” the
water spirit said and recited the
spell once more, and stuffed her
mouth with a leaf again and
again and again… This
continued for minutes until the
water spirit started to cry.
“Please *sob* no more leaves
*sob*” she started to beg and
begun to cry.
But Arthur didn’t pity the poor
water spirit and keeps on
stuffing her mouth with leaves
when she talks.

59
“Wahhhh!!! PLEASE STOP!!!
*sob*”
The water spirit begged and
Arthur didn’t stop and was
daydreaming on how he’s bored
with this.
“WAHHHHH!!! ALRIGHT
YOU WIN *sob* YOU WIN!!!”
the water spirit concedes defeat
to Arthur and will listen to
Arthur to what he commands.
Arthur snapped out of his
daydream and stopped stuffing
leaves in her mouth, and
released the water spirit from
Claymore’s blade.
The water spirit’s wing was
damaged because of Claymore’s
blade and Arthur wants to heal

60
her, but before he could heal her.
He wants to be granted a passage
to cross the river, and the nymph
denied Arthur’s request. So
Arthur starts to threaten the
water spirit with one simple
question
“Do you want me to stuff your
mouth with leaves again?”
The water spirit was startled to
what Arthur said and quickly
granted Arthur the passage to
pass the river. The river
suddenly split in two, revealing
a passage through the river.
Arthur was pleased and started
to mount on Ash. He and Ash
crossed the river with the nymph
on Arthur’s hand. Upon arriving
at the other side, Arthur healed
61
the nymph and let her go. The
nymph flew quickly to escape
from Arthur, but the trauma that
Arthur carved inside the head of
the nymph will never be gone.
Arthur continued on his journey
to grab the armor before the
darkness arrives in the lands of
Pennsylvania.
“Yahhhh Ash!!! Yahhh!!!”
Arthur made Ash ran faster than
before and quickly arrived at the
“Lake of the Lady in the Lake.”
Arthur unmounted on Ash and
gets closer to the lake. Upon
getting closer and closer, the
lake started to rise and the Lade
of the Lake appeared from the
lake.

62
“Arthur the knight of light of
this world, I’m glad you have
arrived at my lake. You are the
only one who can defeat the
incoming darkness of this world
and I shall give you blessings to
be protected from the incoming
danger. Here is the armor you
seek, it is made out of
adamantite one of the strongest
metals of this land. It is blessed
by my blessings.”
Arthur was grateful to receive
the Legendary armor and wore
it, a sudden ray of light came out
of the armor and blessed Arthur
once again by the heavens.
“Please save us Arthur, you are
my only hope.” The Lady in the
Lake said
63
“As you wish my lady.” Arthur
replied
After receiving the armor,
Arthur continued on his quest to
defeat the darkness and now the
next item to acquire is the
Legendary Sword of Cryptite.
Now for normal people, after
Arthur received the “To Do
List” at the fridge, Arthur
accepted the three chores. So he
went and do the 1st task, which is
to “Grab laundries at the
laundromat.”
But before Arthur arrived at the
laundromat, first he has to cross
the road to get the laundry from
the laundromat. The road
contains cars and moves fast in

64
one direction like a powerful
river, so Arthur talked to the
traffic enforcer lady to let him
cross the road. She agreed to let
Arthur pass, and he crossed the
road successfully. Arthur finally
arrived at the laundromat, Arthur
went in and talked to the lady at
the table.
“Ummm… Pick Up for Arthur
Pendragon…” Arthur said
The lady gave Arthur the clean
laundry and continued on his
chores and began to do the 2nd
task on the list.

65
CHAPTER 5: THE
SWORD OF CRYPTITE

Arthur continued on his journey


to defeat the incoming darkness
of this land, he has now obtained
the Blessed Armor of The Lady
in the Lake and must complete
two more quests to defeat the
incoming darkness of this world;
grab The Legendary Sword of
Cryptite and learn the spell to
summon the light from the
heaven.
“We must hurry Ash! We are
running out of time!” he said,
Arthur made Ash ran faster
because the darkness is coming
closer and closer each second.
66
The Sword of Cryptite is located
inside the realm between the
Heaven and Hell; “The
Purgatory”
But travelling through realms is
a much harder task, he must
enter the doorway to travel
through realms. The doorway
can only be open in a certain
point of time and Arthur is
rushing on Ash to step through
the doorway that will let him
travel through realms and will
lead him to The Purgatory.
While Arthur and Ash were
catching up to the doorway the
doorway opened just in time just
for them to arrive and stepped
through and the rainbow bridge
of Asgard started to appear
67
below their feet. Arthur and Ash
are now travelling between
realms and are now heading to
the Purgatory to obtain the
sword of Cryptite.
“We must hurry Ash!” Arthur
said
“neigh!!!” Ash replied
After a long travel that seemed
like they both were travelling on
the Silk Road, they now have
arrived outside of the Purgatory.
Arthur hurriedly hopped on top
of Ash and hurriedly rush to
obtain the Legendary Sword of
Cryptite. But what Arthur didn’t
know is that the Purgatory is
maze inside of a maze.

68
The tales the people tell about
the Purgatory says that;
“People who enters the
Purgatory will never come out
ever again, unless you let faith
guide you.”
Arthur kept that in mind as he
looked around for the sword of
Cryptite, but Arthur kept on
getting lost in the maze. But he
keeps on coming back to where
he first started.
“I have passed the entrance for
the 5th time now, I must find a
way to escape. The tales of the
Purgatory is a guide to help me
escape but I already let faith
guide me.” Arthur murmured

69
Once more, Arthur let faith
guide him to where he wants to
be, but still Arthur went back to
where he started over and over
again. Before Arthur give up, he
summoned his familiar to let
him see above the sky.
“Listen to my call, Apollo I
summon thee.” Arthur said
The ceiling started to rip apart
and the light of heaven fell upon
Arthur, and a carriage that shines
bright as the sun came down
from the heaven and landed in
front of Arthur. As Arthur
witnessed this, he looked up and
saw Apollo riding in it.
“You summoned me, my
master?” Apollo asked

70
“Yes I have my dear friend.”
Arthur replied
“I want you to fly me over the
maze and help me find the
Legendary Sword of Cryptite.”
“As you wish, master” Apollo
agreed on Arthurs request and
let Arthur ride in his carriage.
“YAHHH!!!” Apollo and Arthur
flew like the sun in the sky and
quickly headed towards to the
center of the maze, also they left
Ash on the entrance for a quick
escape. Upon flying towards the
center of the maze, a ray of light
suddenly appeared on the center
of the maze. Arthur and Apollo
rushed towards to the center of

71
the maze and saw a sword in a
stone.
“There it is master, there’s the
sword of Cryptite.” Apollo was
overjoyed after seeing the sword
“No, my friend that is not the
sword of Cryptite it’s actually
the sword of Excalibur. We are
not looking for that.” Arthur
informed Apollo with his
mistake.
So both Arthur and Apollo left
Excalibur untouched and
continue to find the sword of
Cryptite, in this unescapable
maze. After they have found
items that are not the sword of
Cryptite, they finally found the
sword and the sword of Cryptite

72
was inside the Fountain of
Youth which the water was full
of holy water and the sword was
laying on the bottom of the
fountain.
“Thank Gods and Goddesses, we
have found it!” Arthur said in
relief
“Now master, you must hurry
and obtain the sword” Apollo
said
Arthur walks towards the
Fountain of Youth, and reached
in the fountain to grab the sword
by its handle. Upon grabbing the
handle, Arthur tried to raise the
sword and it was light as air but
strong as adamantite, and it also

73
shines like the diamond in the
skies above.
“Extraordinary, this blade can
certainly defeat any enemy in its
path.” Arthur was astounded
with its material and its
mysterious capabilities. Arthur
draws Claymore and teleported
it to his very own armory, and
replaced Claymore with the
sword of Cryptite.
After Arthur puts away the
sword of Cryptite, the sound of
rocks suddenly in the distance
and were getting closer. So both
of them hurried in Apollo’s
Chariot.
“I know that sound anywhere
and their quite a lot…” Apollo

74
was starting to shake because of
the terrifying sound.
“They’re the sound of golems,
and it sounds like a giant one!”
Arthur said
Golems are almost unkillable
because of their sheer size and
hard rocky body.
“Get to the Chariot!!!” Arthur
shouted
“No! I can take them.” Apollo
boasted
“But Apollo-”
“NO MASTER! YOU MUST
LEAVE NOW! YOU ARE THE
ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE
THE WORLD!!!” Apollo
shouted

75
Arthur starts to hesitate if he
should stay or help Apollo.
“MASTER DO IT NOW!!! DO
IT NOW!!!” Apollo shouted
once more
And Arthur made his decision
and runs towards the chariot to
escape.
“AWAY!!!” Arthur rode off in
the chariot and now was starting
to regret his decision and was
now in full of anger of himself.
As Apollo sees Arthur rode off
with his chariot and his only
escape of this maze, he wielded
his bow and charges it with the
arrow of light.
The golems finally appeared in
front of Apollo’s sight an range.
76
“THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
SURVIVOR BETWEEN THE
TWO OF US” Apollo shouted
As Arthur flew away from the
battlefield he heard the
sacrificial yet brave scream of
Apollo, Arthur didn’t turn back
continued towards the exit,
where Ash was waiting.
Arthur finally arrived at where
he first started with only himself
and Apollo’s horses and chariot.
“I’m sorry my dear friend, I’m
sorry for not helping you.”
Arthur murmured as he was
petting Apollo’s horses.
“Return to the heavens now…”

77
Arthur opened the entrance to
the heaven and let Apollo’s
horses return to their home.
After losing a friend, Arthur
became more cautious of his
surrounding to not let anyone
die.
“Apollo, your sacrifice shall not
be in vain… I swear to you, I
shall defeat the darkness.”
Arthur murmured and returned
back to the human realm.
Thus, Arthur has now completed
the 2nd quest and now must
complete the last and final quest
in order to defeat the darkness.

Now for normal people’s


perspective, after Arthur grabbed
78
the laundry from the laundromat,
he rushed to the bus stop to ride
a bud headed to the mall.
Thus, Arthur has arrived at his
decision and hurriedly find the
sword of Cryptite. But Arthur
kept on getting lost because of
how huge the place is.
So Arthur asked for help, to one
of his friends in the mall. He
called someone with his phone
and arrived in the next minute, it
was Apollo and he is one of the
sales clerk in this mall.
He also brought a shopping cart
to help Arthur carry it.
Arthur rode the shopping cart
like a chariot and found a mop,
but this wasn’t the mop Arthur

79
was looking for. So they kept
finding mops but no luck.
After looking for seems like
ages, they have finally found one
in an aisle where no one is
around and the mop is in the
bucket.
So that means it’s been already
been used by the janitor, but
Arthur didn’t think of any
second thoughts. So he grabbed
it and started to run away from
it.
As Arthur was overjoyed for
finding the mop, the janitor who
was using it came back from his
break.

80
Apollo made Arthur run from
this situation and let Apollo take
all of the blame, because Apollo
wants to repay Arthur of his debt
to him.

81
CHAPTER 6:
UNUSUAL
ENCOUNTER

Arthur was still regretting his


decision for letting Apollo
sacrificing himself. But Apollo
doesn’t want Arthur to look
back, so Arthur continues on his
journey leaving his emotions
behind him.
“Faster Ash! The darkness is
coming closer and closer!”
Arthur shouted
Ash ran even more faster than he
ever did before, and he was
faster than sound to complete the

82
quest before the darkness reigns
upon this land.
The orb is kept in a secured
location where no darkness can
get in, and no light can escape.
It is called “Twilight”
The place where both the light
and the dark becomes one and
coexist with each other. So
Arthur and Ash hurriedly ran to
obtain the orb and complete the
quest to defeat the darkness.
While they were running, an
arrow came flying out of
nowhere and almost hits Arthur
while he was riding Ash.
“Who was foolish enough to
shoot an arrow at me?!?” Arthur

83
shouted at where the arrow was
shot at.
From the bushes within someone
came out of it, and it was
Gunther.
“G- Gunther?!?” Arthur was
shocked of his partner coming
out of the bush.
“M- Master?” Gunther was
clueless
“You shot that arrow?!? Why do
you look so different?” Arthur
was starting to get furious
“I- I did, but master where have
you’ve been?” Gunther implied
“What do you mean? I was only
gone for quite a while…” Arthur
said

84
“A while?!?! You’ve been gone
for years!!! I thought you were
dead!!!” Gunther shouted
Arthur was shocked of
Gunther’s answer and was
thinking if he was saying the
truth so he casted a spell.
“Foresee…” Arthur said
In Arthur’s eyes, he can see
what happened when he left, it
turned out that time moved
differently in the maze.
Arthur was shocked and quickly
asked Gunther;
“How long was I gone?!” Arthur
asked.
“About three years Master…”
“Three years?!” Arthur shouted.
85
“Yes, master. Everyone thought
you were dead.” Gunther
implied.
“But as long you are here now,
everything’s fine now.” Gunther
happily said.
Arthur was suspicious in
Gunther’s sudden change in
mood but Arthur just shrugged it
off, thinking Gunther was just
happy.
“Did the darkness reign upon the
lands?” Arthur asked
“No, not yet…” Gunther replied
“Then I still have time, to
complete the quest.” Arthur said
“Let us ride Ash!”

86
Gunther calls his horse to join
Arthur in his quest to defeat the
darkness.
Both continued on the journey to
complete the quest, and had
finally arrived at the Twilight.
“So this is the place called
Twilight… It is not written on
the map or in any Atlas.”
Gunther looking at the map
confused
“This is an unknown place
Gunther, be wary of monsters.”
Arthur warned.
“Any movement you see may be
a threat to us” Arthur said.

87
And the moment Arthur said
that, a giant beast lunged out of
the cover of the trees.

88
CHAPTER 7: THE
TWILIGHT
GUARDIAN

Arthur was shocked. He has


never seen anything so huge. It
was made of earth and rock, and
was tall as a great tower. The
beast then started throwing giant
boulders at the adventurers.
“We need to go master!!!”
Gunther shouted.
“I can take on this monster!”
Arthur replied.
And as that, Arthur charged at
the beast. Arthur using all his
might, slashed at the giant beast.

89
The beast was thrown away by
the blow and fell to the ground.
Arthur then kept slashing it into
pieces until you could no longer
tell it was a giant monster.
Arthur was exhausted, he has
never used that much power and
now he wants to rest.
“*pant* See Gunther *pant* I
told you I can kill the beast
*pant*” Arthur said.
“Indeed master.” Gunther
replied. “Master! Look!!!”
Gunther shouted.
Arthur looked back and saw the
giant beast rebuilding itself.
“How!?” Arthur was shocked.
The towering beast was now

90
back into full shape and now
looked even angrier than before.
“Run master!!!” Gunther
shouted.
Arthur started running, dodging
the giant boulders being thrown
at him.
They ran as hard as they could,
with the giant beast pursuing
right behind them.
They ran like madmen, running
for dear life and praying that the
giant beast would stop pursuing
them.
“Hellfire!!!” Arthur casted a
spell to slow down the beast, but
it has no effect.

91
Both kept on running away from
the beast, and as they were
running they found a cavern
small enough for them to fit
through.
Arthur and Gunther went in as
they were trembling with fear
and both fell to the ground
because of all the running.
“*pant* That was close…
*pant*” Gunther said as he was
catching his breath
“So, what do we do now?”
Gunther asked while he was still
panting from the escape
“We must wait for night, and we
shall strike.” Arthur replied
After a few hours later, night
came and both went out of the
92
cave, in order to sneak and grab
the orb.
“Sneak” Arthur casted a spell to
walk within the shadows and not
to be detected by the beast.
While Arthur was sneaking to
obtain the orb, Gunther on the
other hand was waiting in the
cave for his return.
Arthur kept on using the spell
“sneak” to sneak pass through
the beast, and Arthur finally
arrived at the place where the
orb was located. It
