Birth of the cursed swordsman

"Alex! Alex! where are you? you need to come back now" there was a woman yelling after a boy. The boy heard the woman yelling, and he runs towards the woman.

"Come on mother, can i not read a little more?" Asked Alex his mother

Alex was a young man, at the age of around 14-15, he had long black hair, that was flowing down around shoulder length, he had an exceedingly handsome face, with sharp eyebrows, a pointy nose and beautiful blue eyes.

"No Alex, you know what day it is, and we need to prepare!" Said his mother to him.

Alex was thinking for a little, looking at his mother with a confused face, basically asking his mother "What day is it?". His mother looks at him like it is something she was expecting.

"Your coming of age ceremony my boy, how did you forget?" she said

He looked at her again with some eyes that yelled OH!, and he just said to he is mother "Let's go then, what are we waiting for?" In all honesty, he was very excited to see what kind of title he would get.

The coming of age ceremony, is something every young man has to go through at the age of 15 in this world. The coming of age ceremony is something that determines the future of the child that is going through it. The reason it determine a person's future, is because you get a title from that ceremony, and that title represents what you will do with your life.

For instance Alex's mother had the title 'Water Mage', so she was destined to be a woman who could use water at her will, through the use of mana. His father had the title 'swordsman', which means he had exceptional talents for the swords. but it is not like they could never use anything other than what their title suggests, but they would have a harder time learning other things.

Now it was time for Alex's coming of age ceremony, and there was a lot of people present to watch his coming of age ceremony, more than there usually is. the reason for this is because Alex is actually part of a noble house in the kingdom of Ridora. His family name is Enslis, and his full name is Alex Concus Enslis.

His family is responsible for a small plot of land in this kingdom, and his family is responsible for more that 20000 square kilometers. It mind sound like a lot, but in this world, it is only a small part of a small kingdom.

The coming of age ceremony, is something that the church is responsible for, and it is the priest that is conducting the ceremony, since he is the one with the authorities.

Alex came to the plaza where the ceremony was going to take place, and his father of course saw him, and yelled at him with a smile.

"Boy, you are finally here, did you forget this special occasion?"

Alex looked up, gave his father a big smile, and yelled back.

"Yeah, I was reading in the library!"

His father just looked at him and thought that it was something his boy would do 'he is a smart boy after all, he will probably get a title that is concerning the arcana' he thought.

Alex had never really thought about what was going on around him, since he was in the dark library, reading book about history everyday, and never really going outside. Now that he is outside, looking around, he had never really thought about how beautiful the city actually was.

He was in the city's plaza, it was a big circular platform made of stone, around this platform was a beautiful green area, with tall trees, beautiful flowers, organized in a lot of different patterns.

And Behind the huge green area, was a medieval looking city, that looked vibrant with all the people walking around. He was really amazed that he had never seen this site before.

While Alex was admiring the area around him, the priest yelled.

"Alex, it is time!"

Alex woke up from his stupor, and looked at the priest, who was standing there, in a white tunic, with a lot of golden decorations on, it looks magnificent. Alex then walked up to the platform where the priest was, and was ready for the ceremony.

the priest looked straight into Alex's eyes, like he was searching for something, after having looked at Alex's eyes for 10 seconds, the priest makes a grin, which gives Alex the shivers, and the priest looks into the sky while yelling.

"God! give this child the title he deserves!!!"

Straight after he yelled those words, a golden beam of light game from heaven, and connected heaven with earth, a big golden beam stood tall in the plaza, while Alex was in the middle.

Suddenly, the beam started to change color, it started to change to red, and after a while, it had change to blood red, this was a phenomenon that had never happened before for anyone in this world.

Alex looked around, and noticed that the beam was blood red, and he got confused, but before he could ask anything, a title popped up in his head "CURSED SWORDSMAN"
