To the Reader:
I never intended to write
this book in the first place, but I realized how vital his role was
in the final saga. This book is not for the faint hearted, or for
those with a weak stomach. If you are any or those, I urge you to
put the book down and find another, but if are ready to read
something new, then, prepare for the ride of a lifetime. You are
about to embark into an alternate reality, where the lines between
reality and fiction do not exist, through the eyes of the most
wanted super villain, Rave. Witness chaos and mayhem on an epic
level, and watch how this monster’s path brings him into the hands
of Justice.

A young night it was, a dreary wind wailing
through the dark forest. I stood in the snow, my whole body cold,
only wearing my boxers, and in my left hand, a long sword. The
blazing fire behind me was the result of my flag ship crashing onto
this savage planet, and the reason why I was almost naked was
complicated. Well, basically, my clothes had burned in the crash,
but I wasn’t hurt because I was immortal.
“I should get going, I guess,” I muttered,
brushing my hair back, my eyes fixed on the forest in front of
me.
I heard a howling noise, the sound rather
close, coming from the west. Looking back, I observed my burning
ship for a second, before looking away, trudging in the opposite
direction. The snow on the ground was about five inches tall,
covering the grass completely, and all I could see was the white
color of the snow, being reflected through the moonlight.
Tightening my grip on my sword, I felt the presence of something
malicious stalking me, its presence lingering somewhere behind me.
It followed me slowly, masking its steps with the sound of my own,
as it drew closer. I think it was a chimera beast, a creature that
had human genes combined with animal genes. And the fact that I had
stumbled on this planet was my misfortune indeed, since this was
their colony planet, and there was nothing they hated more than
trespassers. Unable to take the pressure any longer, I pivoted my
whole body back, my sword extended outwards, as I waited for my
pursuer to come out of hiding.
“Show yourself, already,” I roared, turning
my head left and right, my left foot placed in front of me. “I will
kill you, if you attack me.”
As expected, nothing stirred in the
darkness; it was too quiet, even for my taste. Snow flurries kept
falling onto the ground, as the wind picked up speed. I think a
blizzard was coming, and in my condition, I wasn’t ready to fight
off any adversary. I turned around, taking off with haste, headed
for any signs of civilization in the area. I stepped on a sharp
twig, hidden beneath the snow, and winced in pain, but I didn’t
stop moving. The trees, tall and short, were scattered in every
direction, the whole terrain completed uneven. I came to the edge
of the forest, a great depression separating the forest from the
other side, which had numerous hills and valleys. To get to the
other side, I had to somehow jump over the depression, a fit
requiring a lot of physical power—although, it wasn’t that deep, so
it was possible I could go through it. Suddenly, another twig
snapped, causing me to look back, my sword in both of my hands. I
found myself looking directly as these great, grey eyes, the face
of the beast hidden in the shadow of darkness. It let off a faint
growl, its front claws dug deep in the snow. I faced off against
the creature, the pointy tip of my sword facing it, as I curled my
back a little. It would have been nice if I was wearing some sort
of garment, but, unfortunately, that wasn’t my choice to make.
“I just couldn’t go a week without killing,
could I?” I chuckled, my bloodlust taking over, as I moved in
closer. “This is a very bad day for you, vicious beast.”
Roaring, it leaped into the air, darting on
all four legs towards me, its jaw wide open. The creature appeared
to be a big, white bear, with some sort of silver armor embedded
into it. This was no ordinary chimera, that’s for sure. Swinging
from the left, in a horizontal motion, I struck the creature in the
stomach with my sword, but without any success. My blade was
repelled back with an equal force, almost knocked out of my hand.
The bear chimera shoved me to the side, proceeding to stand up on
its hind legs, its claws extended out. There were incision markings
all over the creature, as if someone had done some sort of surgical
procedure on it. What sort of madness was this? I rolled out of the
way, taking refuge behind a tall tree, waiting for the creature to
lose interest. It shrieked with rage, its eyes glowing red, as it
swung against the bark of the tree, felling it against me. I moved
out of the way, the tree landing a few inches from my feet—in a
loud thud.
“So, my sword won’t against you, huh,” I
concluded, grazing away a few drops of blood from my chest. “In
that case, I should run.”
I shifted away, spinning my whole body as I
ran into the depression in the ground, planning on losing the
disturbed creature alone. It was my belief that bears were terrible
at running downhill, so I had the advantage; plus, I could hide in
the thick snow beneath until it was gone. Pecks of being
immortal!
“Darn it,” I cursed beneath my breath; the
creature was following, and gaining speed on me. “I should kill
whoever lied to me about bears.”
Jumping down, I landed in the thick snow, my
legs sinking into the hailstone, the feeling in my body gone. I
looked up, observing the creature do the same thing, as it landed
in the snow on its hind legs. It was about ten feet in height, when
standing on two legs, and it acted like it could actually
understand me.
“What are you doing here?” it roared,
plodding towards me, its claws extended outwards. “This planet is
for chimeras only—no one else is allowed here.”
“So you can speak?” I replied, attempting to
dig out my legs from the snow. “My ship crash- landed here, and if
you don’t believe me, look over there.”
“Oh, I believe you alright,” It sniffed, its
claws a few inches from me. “I believe you are a spy, and you were
sent here to destroy us.”
“If that was true, don’t you think I would
have killed you by now?” I asked it, laughing after. “On second
thought, I should kill you.”
“Puny human,” it boomed, taking a swipe at
my head with its right claw. “I will end your life, right now.”
My blade clashed with its claws, the weight
of its paw pressing down against me, and my legs sinking further
into the snow. It pulled back its arm, attacking again with its
other hand, as the attack came from the opposite direction. I
cocked my head down, tracking the creature’s arm, hoping to find
some weakness in its defense. I was so cold, so numb, that I could
barely think straight. Wait—I still had my magic abilities. But in
my current dilemma, I doubt I could focus enough to conjure up
something powerful.
“Ow,” I yelled, my chest bleeding from a
deep wound the bear chimera had inflicted upon me. “That actually
hurt, you know.”
“Must kill you,” it hissed, pressing on with
its vicious attacks, not letting me even rest.
“Sheruven,” I muttered, throwing a
telekinetic incantation upon myself.
My body was shot into the air, like a
bullet, and I landed on the other side, behind a few rocks. Were it
not for my immortality, this fall could have killed me. There was
blood on the back of my head, and I think my left leg was sprained.
I stood up, noticing that I had lost my sword, and walked towards
the hole, to look down.
“Oh, come on,” I screamed with rage, my left
hand clenching into a fist. “What sort of beast are you?”
My attempt to elude the creature had
failed—it was darting up towards me without any discomfort at all.
Seconds later, we were facing each other again, fists against
claws, surrounded by rocks and trees. The winds ravaged everything
in their wake, the snow falling heavily than before. Spreading my
feet, grinning, I took a defensive position, waiting for the
monstrous abomination of a chimera to attack first. I had always
bested my foes in single combat because they didn’t know about my
immortality; however, against this chimera, I wasn’t sure of what
to do. And I could only use one magic spell per day, meaning I was
in trouble.
“Do you want to die that badly?” I asked,
laughing in an evil way, my whole body shivering. “I would be happy
to accommodate your request.”
“The only one to die here is you,” it
roared, swinging its powerful claws at me, its jaw spread apart,
displaying its powerful, sharp teeth.
I rolled to the left, picking up a large
rock, and tossing it at the monster. The rock hit the chimera in
its snout, only agitating the creature even further. I threw
another rock, hitting its left knee, before turning around and
climbing up a large rock. To my left, a few miles beneath the
mountain, I saw what looked like lights. It was a village of some
sort, with about a hundred or so people in it. And from where I
was, it would take me at least half an hour to venture towards it,
assuming I could best this beast. As I stood on top of the large
rock, I looked down, making taunts at the chimera that was
lingering beneath the rock. I could see anger in its eyes, the snow
falling on top of it making it looking somewhat intimidating. It
attacked the rock, and to my delight, its claws could not penetrate
through it. The bear chimera swiped at the rock for a few more
minutes, before giving up, turning around and plodding towards the
forest.
“I will not fall for that,” I yelled,
staying on top of the rock, shivering, as I looked down at the
small town.
The chimera bear might have retreated back
into the forest, or it could have pretended to leave—either way, I
wasn’t taking any chances. I sat on the rock, my arms wrapped
around my chest, scouting the area for the chimera. Sighing, I
closed my eyes, my mind in a daze of discomforting thoughts. A few
hours ago, I had been on my way to the Felten Galaxy, on an
assassination mission; it was what I would call a vacation trip for
me. I remembered passing by the side of this planet, and my ship’s
scanners blinking rapidly, before I was shot down by some unknown
projectile. And here I am—trapped on this savage planet, and being
stalked by who knows what.
After a good half hour, I jumped down from
the rock, my feet landing roughly against the smaller rocks, as I
stormed off into the blizzard, trying to make it to the town. I
could barely see anything around me; it was so windy and dark. The
snow in the ground made my journey difficult. I stumbled against
the trees, coughing, as I fell to one knee. I could see the lights,
the shadow of the town was within my eyesight, and yet it was so
far away. My strength was failing me, and I could barely feel any
part of my body. The only thing keeping me alive was my curse—my
immortality. I stood back up again, determined, hoping to make it
to the town before my whole body froze into a block of ice.
