The true meaning of wrath : the first Verset


    After sending Lara take a bath I go to the castle, the wind is cold, winter is coming. I walk in the street, the merchant are displaying their items, countless adventurer could be seen in the street. The winter festival is drawning near hu ? I ws walking in the crowd of people, towering them with my height, most aren''t even 1,85 meter tall.


    Suddenly I fell something hit me so I look down and see a little girl in rags, she has green hair, she is thin as hell and has bruises here and there, except for the fact that she isn''t wearing a collar she looks no different from Eali when I first met her although this one seems younger, 10 years old at most.


    |~~sorry mister.~~ Goodbye.~~|(Little girl)


    She goes away and I ignore her .... not, I grab her by the collar and lift her up to my face, she isn''t even one meter tall yet. It must look ridiculous, a tall man like me holding the little girl like this that is. She looks nervous and her eyes avoid mine, no wonder. I hand my palm open facing the sky at the level of her chest.


    |Give it back.|(Apocalypse


    The girls looks at me with tears in the corner of her eyes and weakly give me a bag of coins, this brat had stolen my purse, not that it surprised me with how she looks it wouldn''t be strange if she hasn''t eaten in day. Sheesh, without letting her go I open the purse with my mouth.


    |Ya can take three silver coins ''kay.|(Apocalypse)


    She looks at me not understanding, I sigh and close my hand, with great trouble I make her show me her palm and I let slide three silver coins in her hand. She looks even more confused now, well excuse me for giving you money when you need it, hey I am not a monster enough to let a kid die of starvation because I didn''t gave her money to buy food.


    I lower her and pat her head earning me another looks of confusion on her face. I noticed that most of the birth were girl in this world, maybe because they are the one who can survive the mre easily here since they all have a little of light magic in their system. Yeah as said before those who can use light magic are mostly women, light magic has a lot of healing spell and just being exposed to the light magic light directly heal you faster so what if yur body was the one who contain the light magic ? Well it would heal faster.


    |Could ya take me ta where ya live please, I must see something. Please.|(Apocalypse)


    She nods weakly and I take her hand, she leads the way. On the road of her ''home'' I speak to her a little, she is called Mily Vernevauge, nine years old, orphan and lives in an orphenage. Recently the orphenage hasn''t got enough money as the lord that managed it died of illness, too bad a good guy dying. She also apologised trying to steal from me but I said she didn''t need to and even bought her meat skewer. If you are wondering why she has a surname it is because children leaving in an orphenage takes the name of it, its name often being the one of the one who manage it.


    When we arrived at the orphenage .... well I was shocked, it looked more like an abandoned building than a orphenage, the roof was filled with hole and some wooden pillar were collapsed. I got the feeling the building wasn''t in a good state even when the lord was managing it.


    I can see a bunch of children wearing rags playing in the ruins, they are all thin like toothpicks, god that''s a sorry sight to behold. I can smell herbs getting boiled in hot water from the building, I can only guess it''s the breakfast being made.


    |~~Guys, I am back !!~~|(Mily)


    Mily runs back to the children and they hug each other, well at least they are cheerful. I approach the bulding and inspect it, this ..... fuck and she say that it''s because the lord died, bullshit treant wood don''t rot in so little time. Seriously should I take control of this orphenage and restore it, to tell the trut I thought of building public schools so the kingdom can have more educated citizens, that would be nice to scout fine scholar.


    While I was doing all that a woman got out of the building and wow, she is stunning, she must be 1.60 meters tall has those melons, long light-brown hair tied in a ponytail and green eyes. She is wearing a light brown apron over a dark brown dress. She looks like she is in her early twenties.


    |Come on breakfast is ready, eat it before it become cold !|(Lady)


    All the children rushed to her except Mily who tug to my pants, I look at her.


    |C-could you stay with us .... Roya says it nice to eat with someone you like.|(Mily)


    Ooooohhhh, cute she''s nervous. As an older brother of course, four years earlier I may have misenderstood it but now I would consider it pedophilia. I''m sure it would be fun to eat with all of them but I don''t really think they can afford it. As I was pondering about the question the woman setted her eyes on me ... or should I say she jumped on me wanting to hit me with a frying pan. Where did she even get that from. I jump back grabbing Mily by reflew so she woudn''t get hit.


    |Stay away from her !! I won''t let you take another one of them !|(Woman)


    What is she even saying, why would I even take Mily ? I still let go of her so she won''t get hurt, she go hide behind a wall. I am a little confused but I take my fighting stance, my left foot is put in front of my right knee my right hand is put above my head and the other one is just in front of it.


    |Ya Lady better calm down, I ain''t got any idea of why ya want ta fry me head with this pan but I''m pretty sure I did nothing ta deserve that.|(Apocalypse)


    She hold her frying pan like a baseball player, she looks pretty stupid like that. She doesn''t listen to me and charge at me. Well I won''t just stay here so I throw a sery of paper fist, hitting her energy joints .... to bad for her that on the 180 a human in this world has 25 are situated on the chest area, got to fill her up. Once I have finished she collapse, she isn''t unconscious or anything like that, she is just unable to move.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author.

    |So did ya calm down ? And could ya tell me why did ya attacked me like that all of tha sudden, I''ll let ya know had it been in publics I would have a hard time preventing ya from getting executed for trying ta hurt a noble. So please don''t attack people like that.|(Apocalypse)


    |Shut up I won''t let you take one of this children for your twisted game ever again, do you hear me !!|(Woman)


    I do a chop strike on her head.


    |Stupid, if I wanted ta do anything ta ya ya would be dead by now so could ya tell me what is it that ya''re talking me about ?|(Apocalypse)


    She groan a little trying to move but quickly give up after failing to do so.


    Tatatada~~ after some time of explaination, something like ten minutes or so.


    |So a bunch of shaddy guys started ta kidnap orphans and they recently took one of this orphenage child, ya noticed they were still hanging around here so ya decided to stay with those children ta protect them the best ya could so when ya saw me ya thought I was one of them even though I hadn''t the signs ya indentified them with, being an axe and a sword stabbed in a wolf head armband. Am I right ?|(Apocalypse)


    She nods as she tae a zip of her soup, her name is Roya and she is an inn keeper daughter who decided to help the orphans after the lord passed away. Apparently recently a group of ruffian named the Bear crusher has been kidnapping children in the city.


    I too take a zip of the soup, it''s bitter and I am sure it is made from her dad''s inn leftover there isn''t even any piece of meat in eat. I sigh, it seems I have another troublesome job to take care of.


    |Earlier you said you were a noble, may I know what rank you are ? A honorary knight maybe, seeing how close to commoner like us you are.|(Roya)


    |Oh yeah, I''m a Duke.|(Apocalypse)


    |~~Big brother Apocalypse amazing, weeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh~~|(Mily)


    Or so Mily say as she spins around, Roya froze though .... Oh yeah I forgot that Duke''s were fairly high placed in noble society but it''s not like she attacked me ... Oh wait, she did attack me.


    |Don''t worry about earlier it''s normal, I would have done the same so don''t worry I won''t do anything that would make tha little ones sad. Anyway what should I do .... I''ve got things to report to the castle but with what ya told me I don''t want ta leave those children alone .... damn me for caring so much about kids and women lives, it''s going ta get myself get killed.|(Apocalypse)


    I shrug and take out a portable comunication crystal and contact the mansion, Eleonore picks up and I tell her I won''t be able to report to the king so she should do it. I also tell her that maybe I''ll be awy for sometimes and if they are searching for me I am at the city''s orphenage.


    I clap my hands and Roya flinched ... did I broke her ?


    |Okay I am staying here until those asshole shows up, Hmmm I should ask someone ta get us meat and other good food for tha children, maybe some blankets ... We could use having Imperion and Lara here as guards ..... Roya is that fine with ya ?|(Apocalypse)


    |M-my lord shouldn''t b-b-bother with someone as lowly as us ...|(Roya)


    I look at her with a little bit of anger, she flinched once again.


    |Ya better not change tha way ya speak with me just because I''m a noble, so speak ta me like earlier and that''s all. Oh yeah I forgot to introduce myself, Apocalypse Vermillion.|(Apocalypse)


    |O-okay ....|(Roya)


    I once again use the comunication crystal and this time it''s Imperion who answer, I tell him to bring fifty blanket so the kids won''t be cold, to come with Lara and to bring enough food for fourty people. Also to bring the weapons and after that I hung up. You may call me naive or things like that but believe me my mother may be Forgivness but today it doesn''t matter as I am Wrath, the one who shall leave the ashes of his former ennemies in his wake.


    In the depth of hatred I was born.


    In the pit of rage I awoken.


    With a cry of anger I rose.


    In the fire of wrath I lost myself.


    I am Apocalypse Vermillion the god of Wrath and nothing will be left of them, not even their memories.


    When Imperion came he was accombined by Lara, apprently Lara used a magic backpack to carry the materials and we were able settled in the orphenage, Roya took back a somewhat familiar tone with me and Mily wouldn''t stop saying that I was amazing and all, she''s really cute.


    We spent four night in this orphenage, the first day went peacefuly and I used this opportunity to buy the orphenage and with Lara and Imperion we started to rebuilt it a little so it wouldn''t fall appart, superhuman strenght is very useful when building something.


    The second day there was an abduction attempt but we managed to stop it although we didn''t catched the guy. Same for the third day and fourth day.


    But at the morning of the fifth day a group of six man with the armband showed up, they tried to take all of the children forcefully so I beat them up, then we interogated them to know were their hideout was and once they spoke I killed them, for those scums no forgiveness.


    I rushed my way to their hideout with Imperion, although he was with the least real combat experiences between him and Lara he was the one I battled alongside for four years. Their hideout was situated just under the city. We found a lot of their underling and I simply killed them, mmy mind was going foggy when we arrived at the boss room. He was surprised when he saw us arrived but quickly regain his composure. He had short dark brown hair and a thick beard, he was wearing a long mage robe.


    |Welcome intruders, I am the great Rutur Vermillion and today will be the day of your doom, ha ha a ha ah ah haha h|(Rutur)


    He was laughing like a mad man, he looked broken. I looked around the room and then saw it, countless corpses of children with a pentagram drawn around them. I snapped.


    I am Apocalypse Vermillion of Wrath and no mercy or forgivness shall be allowed.


    <hr>


    Imperion POV


    When Apocalypse saw the corpses I felt it, his power was overflowing. It wasn''t the same feeling as the time of the slime subjugation, no this time it was much more feral. He grew, we were lucky that the boss room had a high celing since he must be nearing the 13 meters talls, none his draconic attribute was visible, he lloked more like a bunch of clay and rocks mash together to form his body, the few seconds I saw his eyes I could see they were a feiry orange but not slits like his draconic one.


    The aura around him was of a feral red colour and being near him was unbearable but I will not stand down as I am Pride. If I was a Lion then he was a mad chimera. He took slow steps filled with power, it was lie looking at a moving tower. The man named Rutur just laugh.


    |Hahahahahaha it''s too late hahahahaha the ritual is finished this cursed world that made me suffer so much will disappear and I''ll be free hahahahahahahah you wouldn''t even be able to touch me this barrier is indestructibl*sploutch*|(Rutur)


    The sploutch sound was Apocalypse crushing him with his hand, the pentagrams shone and the childrens body began to mutate, devil like monster appearing from them, I crushed them before they could exit completly, it was something I had discovered recenty ... I had no trouble killing living things, shouldn''t I be bothered by taking a life ?


    In the corner of my eyes I could see the fucking golem that Apocalypse had became crushing with his palms devil left and right like the were nothing. When none of them remained Apocalypse returned to his human appearance, he was panting and sweating, I helped him walking and he only said one thing.


    |I swear on day I''m going to kill every bastard that is even in the tiniest amount possible related to this son of a bitch !|(Apocalypse)
