Nameless King

On the huge bed lay a naked man and a woman as the sunlight that came through the wide window hit the man's face.

Wain frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and rose up.

"Damn... I had completely forgotten how crazy Eva can be..." Wain uttered while looking around.

Wain's back was covered with many scratches as the room was like a battlefield. Tables were broken, vases had been smashed, and several paintings had somehow ended up partially in the walls.

"If I hadn't been involved myself, I'd have thought someone had attacked Eva... Well, it was the best night of my life anyway." Wain smirked, got out of bed, and headed for the window.

They were in Eva's Void, on top of a tower that was next to an ashy hill and a forest.

"Damn, this place looks magical. Her Void was far more beautiful than I had imagined." Wain uttered with a slight smile on his face.

Some of the ash flew from the tall trees and was blown in all directions by the wind. Some of them ended up on the wooden houses beside the hill while others decorated a bloody flowers field.

Crackle.

Something fell off the bed and a disgruntled muttering sounded, "Fuck... It's definitely not a good morning..."

"Oh, you're up already? I thought you'd be asleep by lunchtime." Wain said in a curious manner.

"Huh, no... I don't want to go near that bed again, at least not now." Eva uttered while shaking her head.

She headed over to Wain, snuggled up against his back, and said in a sweet voice, "What should we do? Shall we continue somewhere else, or just have breakfast?"

"Hey, wasn't that enough for you." Wain smirked as he turned to her, "We both need to eat, then I need to meet Gisle, you know that."

"Yeah, sure." Eva nodded.

...

Wain spent a few more hours with Eva, then it was time to say goodbye.

"When are you coming back next time?" Eva asked with a worried look while standing next to the portal.

"I don't know, but I definitely won't be gone that long this time, I promise." Wain said with a serious look as he took her hand.

"Uhum, here, take this." Eva said as a red-gray coin appeared in her hand.

"Thank you, but I have a present for you too." Wain uttered before putting the dark coin in her hand, "You can come to my Void anytime. I don't know if I'll be there then, but you'll certainly get a good welcome."

"Sure. I'll be sure to stop by..." Eva muttered with a slightly sad look as she didn't want to separate.

"Bye." Wain muttered, kissed her, and jumped into the portal.

...

,m Whooooooooosh.

A spatial rift appeared on the hill, and a tall man in a dark, long cloak emerged from it.

'Hehehe, Wain, I didn't know you liked women like that. She really is special.' Gladius uttered in a sneering voice.

'Yeah. I thought my feelings would cool down because of the long break, but I was completely wrong, and that's a good thing. By the way... You're the sword of the Nameless King, so you must know if he had a girlfriend or a wife, right?' Wain asked.

Gladius was silent for a while as though Wain's question had stumped him.

'Um... I'm not sure I can answer that question...' Gladius muttered in a strange voice.

'What? Why? What would happen if I found out? What's the problem?' Wain frowned.

'I've done it.' Gladius uttered as he disappeared.

"Damn, instead of helping me, he just ran away. Okay, that's not what I have to worry about right now." Wain uttered as he stepped forward.

His hair turned golden, his eyes amber, and he turned into a golden flash that headed toward Merge Island.

...

Whoooooosh.

A powerful stream of wind blew sheets of paper off the table that flew past Gisle's face.

"Oh, you finally made it. I thought we'd leave in the morning, but it's almost lunchtime. Where have you been for so long?" Gisle smiled as he turned to Wain that stood behind his chair.

"Well, I'm a little late, it's no big deal." Wain shrugged as he put his hand on the back of his chair, "Are you ready? Human World is waiting for you, leader of the humans, but in another world."

"Sure. We can leave right now." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face while twirling the pen between his fingers.

Wain nodded as he raised his hand to open the portal.

Crackle.

Suddenly there was a loud bang from the next room as the wooden door nearly flew out of the opening.

"What the hell is going on in there?" Wain muttered with a confused look.

"Hahaha, looks like someone is getting some serious training. Let's go see, it's pretty funny." Gisle smiled as he headed for the door.

Click.

Gisle opened the door and a torrent of darkness burst out that made his hair flutter.

"Shit! Why can't I win you?! Just once!" Zero exclaimed with an angry look as she slapped the table with all her might.

Tremble.

It was a simple wooden table, so it couldn't withstand the force of Zero's blow, but suddenly a white shell appeared on its surface that completely absorbed all the damage.

"Ahahahaha, Zero, you need to learn to control yourself better. You've only lost a few hundred times, this is just the beginning." Kadridas laughed before snapping his finger.

Whoooooooh.

Strings of energy headed toward the chess pieces that set them in their places, so in a few seconds, they were ready to begin again.

"Well, well, don't you have any pity for a simple girl?" Gisle said while standing against the wall with his arms crossed.

"Oh, you're here, you want to watch us play?" Kadridas smiled as he looked at Zero.

She was angry and her cheeks were heavily puffed as though she could explode at any moment, but the desire to win was evident in her eyes.

"No. We're leaving." Wain uttered with a calm look, "But, I'd let the newcomer win at least once."

"Fine, maybe I'll take your advice." Kadridas smirked while staring intently at Wain as though through him.
