The Black Heart

Hello again, sorry for the long pause between the updates. I had too much stuff to do for school so I couldn't even write a short chapter.

So today I am gonna make a longer chapter.

_____________________________________________________________________________

In a dark place, you could see a boy lying on a bed of shadows. His mouth was open like we were screaming but nothing came out. Shadows constantly flowed into his mouth, eyes, and ears to support the Black Heart so it wouldn't explode. The boy's skin is constantly bursting open and at the same time healing only leaving a scar behind. The bursting skin was the consequence of having his veins getting bigger to let the dark blood flow through it. Of course, this boy is Rian

###Meanwhile (In another universe) in the house Black###

After Jacob Explained what is happening to Faye she was briefly before passing out again so she had to sit on a chair. Suddenly she spoke, "So you say, that you gave OUR child to an unknown shadow-knight so he could make him suffer?" "Faye you know exactly that I didn't want to do this, but I didn't want to see my son die in my arms only to know this knight could save him afterward." "I- I I know but if Rian dies I at least wanted to be at his side at his last moments," Faye said while crying. Jacob tried to calm her down, but it got only worse.

### 1 Day later ###

Rian lay on the bed. His whole body was wrapped in black shadows his eyes glowed red and out of the gaps in his armor came dark red shadows. (A/N: If I don't forget it I'm going to post a picture here

'Interesting, I never saw a red shadow. Well, I have nothing to do anyway so I'm gonna watch what he is going to do with his new power.' Ashborn thought to himself. Well gotta bring this boy back to his parents or they are going to die from worry.' Ashborn picked up the tiny boy, who was already turned back into normal except his now red eyes and his Iris slowly spinning.

### Back at House Black ###

A gap opened right in front of the house and out of it came Ashborn with Rian, who was carried like a sack of potatoes. Ashborn walked up to the meanwhile repaired door and knocked "Hello, is there anybody there," not one second later the door opened and a woman shot out like a bullet and a shout could be heard "Rian o god are you ok? What happened to you?" "So no thank you for saving my son?" could be heard from Ashborn. The glare and killing intend he received from Faye for his words send Ashborn a shiver down his spine. "Did you have to make her even angrier?" could be heard from a fearful Jacob. "You both have the luck that I have to bring Rian in his bed," came a very angry voice from behind. After she said that Faye took upstairs to let him rest.

Meanwhile downstairs the two Men had a conversation. "Did it work?" "Yes, but it could have worked a little too good" "What do you mean" a worried Jacob could be heard. "Original I planned to give him a part of my Power, but what he has now is his Magic it could be even better than mine but also worse," Ashborn answered truthfully. "Despite that, his life isn't in danger, right?" "Yes, the life of your son isn't in danger anymore" "That's good. Did he have to suffer greatly?" "Yes but he doesn't have any lasting damage."

Faye came back downstairs and saw Ashborn and Jacob talk to each other. "So you are the one who saved my son." "Yes" "Can I ask you why you want to be his godfather?" Ashborn who already expected that question answered: "Well first I wanted to have a background you see I came here from another world and I don't want to get in trouble for it." "So you are telling me, that you are a Human(?) from another world and you need a background," Faye asked still dubious about this story. "Well, this is a long story." "We have time," Faye said harshly. "Well, here we go.

_____Here the history of Ashborn for those of you who don't know it or who want to read it again_____

I was the Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light. In other words, the Strongest Ruler. When I, along with the other Rulers and the enemy Monarchs, were made, their purposes were set. To have war with one another and win. Eventually, the Rulers found out that the Absolute Being made the Rulers and Monarchs to fight each other for his amusement. Angered and filled with grief from the gruesome war, the 7 out of 8 Rulers killed the Absolute Being. I was the only one out of the Rulers that was still loyal to the Absolute Being and tried to protect the Absolute Being against the angered Rulers, but I was outnumbered and killed, watching my faithful soldiers get swept away.

After 'dying', I realized that the Absolute Being planted a failsafe inside of it's most faithful servant, me, for when everything went wrong. A powerful and terrifying power capable of ending everything. The power of Death.

After waking up, I discarded any remains of my previous life, tearing off my wings and forging a mighty armor out of the surrounding shadows and making a brand new army of Shadow Soldiers. I joined the Monarchs to combat the Rulers.

When victory was nearing, 2 Monarchs betrayed me out of fear, attacking me with the combined forces of the Rulers and 2 Monarchs, driving me to near annihilation. This resulted in the death of 1 of the 2 Monarchs, with the other 1 running away.

Shortly after this, 4 Rulers along with their armies approached the weakened and vulnerable me. But instead of killing me, they kneeled and asked for forgiveness. I, in a mentally and physically weakened state, asked the Rulers to kill me out of spite, but to no avail. Emotionally torn, I disappeared and stayed neutral. Eventually, with the damage of the 2 Monarchs betraying me and 1 Monarch dying at my hands, the scale of power tipped, and the Rulers had won. The defeated Monarchs and their remaining armies hid in the gap between dimensions, biding their time and empowering their armies.

After some time, I appeared before the Monarchs, and was embraced back by the Monarch of Destruction despite my and the Monarch of Beastly Fang's past.

In the Monarch's plan to take over earth, only 2, Antares and me, the King of the Dead and the Dragon Emperor was unable to find a human host strong enough to handle our indescribably mighty powers. The Architect promised to aid me to find a human host, however, no being was able to handle my powers. Not the human with high sensitivity to Mana, not the human with superior physicality, not the human with amazing mental ability. None of them was able to handle the power of Death. The Architect's and my plan was to find a human for me to completely possess and control.

The Architect kept on trying to find suitable hosts, but I found one first. Sung Jin-Woo. A human who always stayed close to death yet escaped it's grasp every time. I chose Jin-Woo.

With the help of the Architect, the Architect kickstarted the beginning of a series and gave Jin-Woo a fragment of the power of Ashborn. The Architect installed a game System, a means for a human, of the human species who loved to play games, to become stronger to better handle the terrifying powers of me. However, I betrayed the Architect. When Jin-Woo obtained the 'Black Heart', he was supposed to be controlled and possessed by me. But I, who had been watching Jin-Woo since the beginning, who had been with Jin-Woo through his hardships, did not. I became close to Jin-Woo, and enjoyed my time with him far too much and did not want to lose him. Instead, I chose to assimilate with Jin-Woo. When this happened, I had become Jin-Woo, and Jin-Woo had become I. The 2 were now one.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Later on, when Jin-Woo was 'killed' by the Monarch of Beastly Fangs, I appeared before Jin-Woo, revealing all the information above to me. After that, I gave Jin-Woo a choice. To eternally be in a peaceful illusion of a world where he could have everything and anything, or to wake up to the harsh reality, and fight the enormously powerful Monarch of Destruction and his armies. Of course, Jin-Woo chose the latter. With that decision, I went into an eternal and peaceful rest, from which I had desired long ago, and Jin-Woo had received the full power of me, and was the new Shadow Monarch. Or that was what was supposed to happen. Well and now I am here.

"Well, that was a long story. I think I am going to bed but tomorrow we will talk about this further."
