Hex Master

"Adrian Williams, also known as Hex Master. The legends say he was fighting a fearsome enemy before he cross the Spirit Realm. They say that their fight was so fierce that when he crossed the realms he was on his deathbed." (Nox)

"But what about before that. Do you know what kind of a person he was before this enemy or he crossed the Spirit Realm?" (Oscar)

"I don't really know. My father used to tell me that he was with his brother. Our great-uncle. If I remember right, sometime before he come across the said fearsome enemy, apparently his brother died. According to my father, this was the reason why he wanted to become powerful. This is all I know." (Nox)

There stood a tall man with curly brown hair in a destroyed landscape. Once beautiful plains were now ruined by the effects of a fierce battle. He was wearing tattered clothes. The constant battles he had in the last days made them damaged beyond repair. Still, his skin looked undamaged. and most of his wounds were shallow. He was Adrian Williams. At this time he was still young, barely in his twenties. He was at his peak.

"Adrian look what you have become."

"I've become what I must be."

In front of Adrian stood another man. He had dark straight hair. His clothes were tattered from battles too. But unlike Adrian, his skin was full of wounds. Even his left eye was gone and in its place was a nasty scar. This person was Theodore. Theodore Williams. Adrian's younger brother. Right now he was greeting his teeth. He was exhausted but not willing to give up.

"Can't you see what you are doing is wrong? You are hurting people!"

"I am only hurting those who deserve it! And you know why I am doing this too! Unlike you, I can't just accept this twisted world."

"We may have powers but that doesn't give us the right to judge others! You have to quit playing this vigilante game. Or I will have to put you down."

"Do what you must, Theo. I will also do what I must."

Theo clenched the saber he held in his hand. He didn't want to hurt his brother but he just couldn't let him hurt more people. The two of them had powers from their early childhood. But he always tried to help other people. On the other hand, Adrian was different. He saw humans beneath him.

Theo runs towards Adrian. Slashed his saber to his neck. Adrian caught the saber with his two hands. Seeing this Theo wasn't surprised, instead, he smiled. From the blade of his saber came out a dazzling thunder. Adrian was surprised by the attack. His body was getting shocked by the thunder. Taking this chance Theo once again aimed at his neck. The moment the blade touch his neck dull sound of metal colliding was heard.

"I have to say, that thunder was quite a surprise but in the end, you always attack the same way."

Adrian directly punched Theo on his face sending him flying. He had put a lot of power behind that punch. There was a frown on his face. From his point of view what he was doing was the necessary evil. Even though he gained powers from his early childhood he was raised as a normal human at first.

What he was doing is killing the gang members and similar criminals who is causing problems for innocent people. He does see them beneath him that was why he took the role of their savior to himself. But what they disagree with is how Adrian does things. He was brutally murdering criminals and torturing their friends to just get information.

Theo hardly stood up. His legs were shaking and he felt his knees weak. They were already fighting for a few hours. And he was at his end. He felt his power leaving his body. He gulped the blood flowing through his mouth.

"Adrian... don't be a monster... just to fight... against one..."

"Theo..?"

Theo fell on his knees and vomit a mouthful of blood. The last punch of Adrian actually greatly damaged his heart. If it was any other time he could heal it but now he didn't have any power left. He was using Hex, energy comes from one's body as they burn their vitality. It was powerful but when the body was exhausted it became fatal. During their last clash, he used Hex to generate thunder. It damaged his body too.

Theo looked at his brother. As long as he remembered he tried to keep him on a good path. He was fine with helping other people but what Adrian doing was causing him to get out of control. He even hurt innocent people but didn't realize it. Theo was just trying to save his brother from himself. Now he even gave his life while trying.

Adrian looked at Theo with disbelief. He first fell on his knees and vomit a mouthful of blood. But then he looked at him with a sad smile and completely fell to the ground. Adrian quickly runs to his brother. There were approximately ten meters between them. When he arrived near his brother he couldn't help but gasp. His brother was lying on the ground without moving.

"Hey... Theo, get up... Hey, brother get up... Please! Brother! I didn't want this to happen... please don't leave me!"

Adrian cried by the side of his now-dead brother. Tears were flowing down on his cheeks without stopping. Yes, he fights against his brother. They were arguing with each other almost always. But he was his BROTHER. They only had each other in this world. That day Adrian Williams not just lost his brother but also a large part of his emotions. That was why he later became the one known as Hex Master. A cold-hearted person whose only goal is peace.

Six months later Adrian comes across someone with strange powers. She had a short and petite body. Pink hairs that never before seen in the world and eyes just like topaz. And behind her back was a black tail with a heart shape on its end.

"I have never imagined that a human like you would exist. You have a strange power. It is not mana or miasma. Truly strange."

"You... are not human. What are you?"

"What I am is not important. You will die here anyway."

They fight for an entire day. He fought a lot of humans with powers across the years. But she was the worst opponent he had. She used completely different energy. He later learned that she had used mana against him. While fighting both sides get heavily injured. The moment she was distracted with her injury he stole her necklace which she draws her power from.

The moment he get the necklace with a shining crystal something on both sides didn't expect to happen. Crystal on tip of the necklace shone with a bright light. Inside of that bright light Adrian disappeared with the necklace. He was teleported to the Spirit Realm.

"It is as far as I know." (Nox)

"It sounds like a story full of holes." (Oscar)

"Well, I never heard the real story from grandfather. Or someone close to him." (Nox)

"Well, I never heard from anything about these things." (Oscar)
