    "You don't have to do this"

    "I don't but I want to"

    "You could DIE, don't you care about your life?"

    "Of course, but this is better."

    "Then what?"

    "Everything"
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Its bright..really bright, am I dead?

    No of course not. Get a hold of yourself Kibashi

    Right..I was warped here by a priest, and

    A bright blue and white light began to shine in the middle of a small, rectangular island. Releasing a loud, strange noise almost like a bell particles began to form inside the middle. It took the shape of what appeared to be a male, About five feet tall, Medium-length grass green hair and peach colored skin. The boy, Kibashi immediately fell as the portal began to close, his hands on the ground to support himself he gagged and hurled out his breakfast. Standing up a little woozy Kibashi looked at his surroundings and his clothing. He was wearing the standard "Novice" outfit. brown T-Shirt, Long brown pants, Dark pink boots. On top of his shirt was a piece of leather serving as protection for his chest, he also had a loincloth wrapped around his pants and a pair of tough looking leather gloves on his hands.

    His clothing was quite worn out hinting at the fact that the outfit was also given out to other novices that wished to serve under The King. Wiping his mouth Kibashi took a deep breath, fresh seawater flavored air began to flood into his mouth. Around him was an island with different shades of grass both light and dark. There were also several rocks near the edges covered with ugly green moss and the occasional tree or bush. Blinking Kibashi wiped his eyes and then noticed a young lady staring at him in disbelief. She was dressed rather nicely, wearing a long sleeved shirt underneath what appeared to be a wooden breast plate. Examining the women Kibashi noticed she wasn't wearing any pants and had long socks and a belted yellow, red and black shoe. And that was when he noticed IT.

    "Eheh heh..." he chuckled nervously. The yellow and red was not from her shoes but rather his puke. Kibashi quickly heard knuckles crack and looked up at the girl. Her eyes were like that of a rabid dog that had been abused its entire life, crazy with killer intent.

    "You..are..dead" said the girl. Kibashi quickly took a step back and looked behind him, there was a wooden bridge which lead to a bigger island that contained a castle in the middle, the novice training grounds. Quickly dashing for it Kibashi gave the girl a quick wave as he walked down the bridge causing it to sway slightly. "Sorry, gotta go!" yelled Kibashi as he made his way towards the castle watching as the girl slip in his puddle of puke. Taking several breaths of air he bent over slightly, gasping for breath before entering the castle. Looking around it felt slightly cooler inside then outside with the hot sun and demon-like girl. He saw a receptionist and gave a small smile handing him a paper.

    "Kibashi Jigas?" asked the man, he looked at Kibashi then at the paper.

    "I expected you to be...taller but whatever, you are here for training I assume?" asked the receptionist.

    Kibashi gave a nod, "Yes."

    "Well..do you have a certain position in mind once you graduate?" asked the receptionist.

    Kibashi placed his left hand on his chin thinking, "Well..to be honest I haven't thought about it fully." he explained.

    "Very well..you will have time as you enter the training course, please follow me".

    The receptionist opened a door beckoning for Kibashi to follow. Kibashi followed close behind him looking at the walls which contained paintings of knights in shining armor, deceptive assassins, devoted priests and various other powerful looking warriors. Amazed at the paintings Kibashi began to wonder if he was destined to be like the people in the pictures.

    "Here it is Kibashi" said the receptionist as he opened another door revealing a large room. Looking around Kibashi noticed seven other fellow novices in the room and three people who appeared to be teachers. One was wearing a long coat and lacked a shirt, he was attempting to flirt with one of the novices before being hit with a bottle of red liquid by a girl to the far right. She was dressed rather loosely but had a kind but hot tempered look. The man in the middle was in plates of silver and had a muscular physique. On his back was a cape, he looked rather intimidating and had a wise and mature look in his eyes. The man turned to Kibashi and smiled.

    "Kibashi Jigas..shall we begin?"

    Chapter Two- "Omnipotent"
    Interior Training Grounds
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Kibashi looked at the tall man, his face flushed and his expression was pure anxiety and nervousness. He nodded slowly and took a step forward turning around. Some of the novices left but there were clearly two more or so, one was talking to the man with a long coat while the other was chatting with the girl. "Um..what about the other novices?" asked Kibashi as he turned his head back to focus on the teacher. "Oh them, nah don't worry the training wont be long it will be over before you know it" said the man in a ensuring tone perhaps to help calm Kibashi's discomfort. Kibashi only nodded slowly.

    "Alright Kibashi..I am the equipment teacher here at the training grounds, what I teach is..well...equipment" he said with a chuckle. "This is important for everyone, even magicians and archers" he said in a clear tone. "But I already know how to put on clothes and stuff" said Kibashi slightly annoyed at the man as if he was trying to make Kibashi feel stupid. The man only chuckled and he pat Kibashi's head. "No, its much more important then that my friend" he explained.

    Pulling and unsnapping the straps on his plate gauntlets he pulled the gauntlet with his right hand and let it slip off his hand showing it to Kibashi. "To a normal man this is a normal piece of armor....to a trained soldier it is much more then that" explained the man. "Focus on the center of the armor, do not blink and tell me if you see anything change" he requested. Kibashi stared into the gauntlet, his eyes eventually began to feel dry and he had a strong urge to blink but stubbornly refused to do so. "Concentrate..concentrate...concentrate" he murmured silently to himself. Eventually Kibashi saw something new about the armor, there was an aura design in the middle of the armor which was dull grey, the aura took the shape of a raccoon. Kibashi blinked and the raccoon was gone, he began to rub his forehead in frustration.

    The man smiled and wrapped the leather straps around his arm once more securing it in position. "You will get used to it" he assured. "In most pieces of equipment there lies hidden potential." The man walked up to his counter and pulled out a strange, nicely crafted card. On it was a picture of a massive goat-like figure. It had a humanoid appearance and was dangerously tall, in both hands it was carrying a large, bloody scythe and simply looking at it gave Kibashi the chills. "Whenever you slay an enemy there is always a chance that its soul will be entrapped into a card" he explained. The man retracted his wrist then flung the card at Kibashi's chest. Not to long after the card hit the armor and began to glow. It didn't fall and it began to float slowly sinking into Kibashi's clothing causing him to panic, "This feeling..it feels...powerful" said Kibashi in an amazed tone. He felt as if his body was on fire, his muscles were bigger and he felt as if he could destroy the entire continent of Midgard. The man took several steps towards Kibashi. "Some armors can absorb these cards, use the powers of the soul to improve them" he explained. Placing a hand on Kibashi's chest he began to mutter a strange incantion that was beyond human understanding.

    "RELEASE" said the man in a bold tone. The card immediately shot out and he quickly caught it with his left hand using his index and middle finger. Patting Kibashi's left shoulder he smiled. "You was a good student, that's the end of my lesson and please take this I'm sure it will help you throughout novice hood" said the man. "Go to the other two teachers, I'm sure you can learn more" and with that the man waved goodbye and walked away from Kibashi. Kibashi took a step back, he looked at what the man gave him. A large sleeveless tunic that came with a scarf and a pair of shorts. The entire tunic was purple and the scarf and pants were black. Kibashi tilted his head in a curious matter. "Is this...supposed to be a ninja suit?"
