Rain fell on a small village in Britannia as 2 shadowy figures could be seen running in the dark night towards the quiet village. A man and a woman with cloaks over them hid their faces as they ran from an unknown threat. Faintly the sounds of men shouting and hooves pounding could be heard getting louder. Rain poured on them as the woman shielded some bundle in her arms. They shared a look of sadness, but nodded as they came to a church. Her orange eyes glowed with light as she started to cry. The tears were hidden by the rain as they streaked down her face. The mans face was wrinkled with very old age as blue eyes The woman set the bundle down on the steps of the church while putting a note on it. She then knocked 3 times fast before her and the man ran away into the night. The hooves and shouting faded before bloody screams woke the villagers. The priest opened the front doors to investigate the noise when he saw the small bundle left by the woman starting to wiggle. He picked it up reading the note as the bundle was a small baby boy with a head of blonde hair. The baby was sleeping soundly. The priest read the note with confusion.

To whomever finds this,

Please take care of my son. He is destined for greatness and good but many are after him to take his life. His mission is to- rain started to smudge some of the ink- I beg you that you teach him kindness and how to be good. His name is Rogers Ryan.

With sadness,
The name was unable to be read.

The priest held the little boy Rogers in his arms as he opened his eyes showing to glow orange momentarily before blinking them blue. The priest sighed before walking into the church with him.

In the forest the woman stood above the body of the dead old man who had an ice spike through his chest. She held a long knife in her hands as 3 holy knights using dark corrupt magic surrounded her. "Where is the boy?" One asked in a dark and deep voice. The woman stayed silent as she stood her ground.

"You are powerless against us. Especially since you have lost your magic." Another one stated while walking forward. He held a javelin as fire spread across it.

"It matters not anymore where the child is. As long as we are able to kill you we'll be rewarded greatly." The third said before pulling out a mace and slamming it down on the woman.

Timeskip 13 years later.

Rogers woke up in a sweat as the dream ended suddenly. "Who is that woman and why is she so familiar?" He asked himself aloud as he stretched waking up. That same dream has plagued him for years. As Roger's got out of bed he went over to a bowl of water and splashed some on his face before grabbing a shirt pulling it on.

"ROGERS BREAKFAST TIME!" A voice of an old man yelled up to him.

"COMING FATHER MATT!" Rogers yelled back down before getting on some shoes. Rogers had lived with the priest who found him for all his life. Since the priest considered Rogers as a son he treated him like one. The villagers at first were hesitant to meet Rogers but soon warmed up to him. He became friends with everyone easily. It was a small village so it was hard not to know everyone. In the past 13 years he learned to fight with the Captain of the guards who was a retired holy knight named Nick Fury. He taught him how to fight with his bare hands and every weapon available. He learned how to bake from the lady named Maria who ran a market stall in the center of the village. He was quite intelligent since he was able to convince passing merchants to give him all types of books. He was the perfect guy. The girls in the village loved him since he was kind to all of them. Rogers thought over the years he had spent in the village that it just occurred to him that he can't think of its name. No matter what he could not remember the name of the village. As he got down stairs he saw Father Matt with 2 bowls of oatmeal.

"Good morning my child." Father said with a smile. Roger's examined him seeing his black hair mixed in with grey hairs.

"Hello father." Roger's smiled at him as he sat across from Matt. "I'll be going to continue my training with Sir Fury after breakfast if that is okay with you."

"Of course Rogers." Matt said as he thought back to the note. "Actually before you do there's something I must tel-" BOOM! An explosion shook the ground causing both Matt and Rogers to fall to the ground.

"Father what's happening?!" Roger's asked scared as Matt looked outside horrified.

"Rogers go into the basement. In the back of the room is a chest. Inside of it is a note. It's something your mother left you." Matt said trembling.

"But why?" Roger's asked getting up in time to see the village on fire as men ran around murdering and taking people from their homes. "Oh no! Bandits!"

"Go now Rogers I beg of you." Matt begged making the boy nod a d run down into the basement.a torch was lit over a wooden chest caked in dust. Roger's used his might to open it making dust fly everywhere. The only thing in the chest was a folded paper. Before he could react the basement door was slammed shut as screaming came from above. Roger's ran up the stairs and tried busting through the door but was unable.

"FATHER!" Roger's yelled as he tried breaking through. He could hear laughing grow further away as he kept trying to break through.

Timeskip

Rogers stared at the destroyed village with horror and terror as he saw piles of dead bodies he recognized. Some piles were on fire. Others were just headless men. Another was a pile of dead girls from every age group that were used by the bandits before killing them. Rogers fell to his knees in tears as the smell of cum, death, burning flesh, and grief filled him.

"I'm so sorry father." Rogers cried as he looked at the sky. "I should have been there to protect you. I could have saved someone." He cried more as the words silently came out of his mouth.

"SIR ERKINSE A SURVIVOR!" A voice yelled catching Rogers attention seeing 2 holy knights stare at him. One was wearing completely white armor and held a spear. The other was grey and held a sword and shield with a star on it. The 2 ran over and looked at him.

"Are you hurt child?" The grey holy knight asked Rogers who shook his head no. "Are there any others?" Rogers once again shook his head no as the grey knight hugged him. "Oh you poor child. What's your name?"

"Ro-ro-gg-ger." He cried out with more tears coming.

"I'm Abraham Erkinse." Rogers cried more as he felt the cold armor against him. "I'll take you child. I'll prote-" Erkinse started.

"Sir Erkinse." A cruel voice was heard as Erkinse looked over to see his Captain in pure black armor with 2 knights standing next to him. "A survivor? Bring him with us."

"But Captain-" the white knight that stood next to Erkinse tried protesting.

"He is an orphan. No family or friends. He may be a child but no one even knows he exists now. Bring him for Hurson." The Captain demanded as the 2 knights that were with the Captain grabbed Rogers who screamed in fear before being hit on the head by the hilt of a weapon knocking him out.

"Captain he is just a child." Erkinse said with anger.

"No he was a child. He's a test subject now. Now both of you shut up and join us at our base." The Captain said. "Oh and if either of you even attempt to defy me I will make sure you become test subjects." A dark aura seemed to be produced from the Captain as Erkinse and his knight stood there in anger. The Captain then walked away. Erkinse sighed lowering his head.

"I want to shove my spear right up his as-" the white knight started.

"It's not a good enough time to bring him in. Especially since our like plan has only a few supporters. We need more before making our move." Erkinse interrupted. "But I swear that we will take him in." Erkinse watched the 2 knights that dragged Rogers away. "I just hope the kid is going to make it."

Rogers opened his eyes to see himself surrounded by stone walls. He was tied down to the table as he started to worry. "What's going on?! Where am i?!" He cried as 2 doors were pushed open to reveal the Captain in his full armor.

"Ah good you're awake. How delightful." The Captain said happily. "HURSON!" Through the same doors walked in an old man hunched over. He was bald and had glasses that hid his eyes. He was pushing a cart filled with potions and liquids and other stuff.

"Ah Captain what a pleasure it is to be visited by you.Ah if it isn't the new subject." Hurson smiled creepily as he pulled out a needle filled with red glowing liquid.

"I was just checking to make sure that you knew you had one." The Captain said before leaving. "You know what to do."

After the captain left Hurson stabbed the needle into his shoulder making Roger's cry out in pain. "Oh please if you can't handle this pain then there's no hope of you surviving through the night." Hurson scoffed as he watched Rogers head fall. "But I can fix that." Hurson then started to laugh loudly.

"Hmmmm. That seemed cliche." Hurson rubbed his chin before shrugging and injected more potions into Rogers passed out body. "If you do live then we will have such great fun."

Timeskip to age 17

Rogers pov.

It's been 4 years since that day. 4 fucking agonizing painful years of torture. I was currently being held in a cell with my arms held in place by chains. The sound of armor clanking and swords clashing against one another echoed throughout the holding area. "I wonder what's happening." I say out loud as a guard goes flying past my view. "Hmmm. That looked painful." I mutter as I then saw Erkinse at my cell with keys.

"Hello Rogers." Erkinse said as the door was unlocked before he walked over to me and unlocked my chains.

"Erkinse. So I'm guessing you and some others finally got fed up with your Captain?" I asked rubbing my wrist as he nodded. He then handed me leather armor and his shield.

"Take these. You'll need it." Erkinse said before walking away. "Also leave before it's to late kid." I was confused at first before I put on the armor.

I then slid my arm into the straps and stretched. I looked down at my forearms seeing they grew in muscle mass and beefiness despite not having worked out in 4 years. I then ran out the way Erkinse came and found myself upon 20 holy knights fighting to the death as hundreds of dead ones surrounded them. I ran away from them into the forest unsure of where to go when a loud explosion of both flame and earth threw me to the ground. I looked back and saw a mushroom cloud of red going into the sky. I stared, but with no emotion. Most of those knights didn't care about me. I then got up and kept running. I used my new shield to break branches in front of me as I ran. I don't know how long I ran but all I know is that I got to keep going. At least til I find civilization. The sun was high in the sky as I came to a creek. I fell to my knees exhausted and started to drink the cool water. Gulp after gulp I drank greedily. After I got my fill I sat down on the grass as I thought about my village. Still can't remember the name. I shook my head not caring when the sound of a branch cracking made me jump up and hold my shield up. I turned to come face to face with a young woman who had black medium length hair that seemed to contrast her white skin. Her eyes were ocean green. She wore a blue dress and looked at me like I was some creature she's never met. I was pale from lack of sun but that doesn't mean anything.

"Are you okay sir?" The woman asked me as I put my shield on my back.

"Yeah I guess." I say as i stood up straight. "What are you doing out here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." She responded making me laugh. "I'm out here on a stroll away from town."

"Well I'm just a traveler so typically I don't know where I am." I joke as she giggled.

"Come with me. You have some wounds that our town healer could assist you with." She said as I saw no better option. I followed her as we went back to her village. "I'm Andre." She said which took me a bit by surprise.

"That sounds like a mans name." I joke more as she giggled again. "I'm Rogers." I say as she then bowed her head. "So Andre what is your village like?"

"Its quite busy and seems to keep growing everyday." She answered as we exited the forest to be met with a town that looked happy. "Honestly we need more guards. The ones we have right now are not good at there job."

"Maybe I could help with that. I was trained by a retired holy knight." I say as we got to the edge of town.

"Really? You would do that for a bunch of people you never met before?" Andre questioned as I nodded. "Why?"

"I don't know. It's just the right thing to do I guess." I shrug as she lead me to a small house.

"In there is where you will find the healer." Andre instructed as I looked at her.

"I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship." I say before walking into the house.

Timeskip. One year later

The town was on fire as people ran around. I tried making my way through the crowd as I saw monsters eating people. I threw my shield at one causing it to be stunned before the shield returned. I ran and jumped over it before using my fist to hit it. It coughed up blood as I kept hitting it before I was hit with a blast of fire. I held up my shield as I was blasted again. As soon as the blast stopped I looked out to see a holy knight with a javelin on fire in his hand.

"Its time you abomination." The knight said before throwing the javelin. I blocked with my shield before throwing it at him hitting him square in the chest making him fall on his back. "To think that while the others are murdering humans I get to kill you." He said getting up. I ran at him and punched him in the face making him stumble back. I brought a left hook against his helmet denting it before upper cutting his head off. As the corrupt knight fell I heard more screaming and rushed to the sound to find Andre missing her right arm and left leg as a sword was stabbed through her stomach. Above her stood another holy knight. He had on only a helmet and leg armor.

"ANDRE!" I screamed before rushing the knight. He turned just in time for me to shove my hand through his chest and crushed his heart. I huffed madly as I then pulled my arm out as it was covered in blood. I got on my knees next to Andre as she was barely still alive.

"Hey Rogers. I softened them up for ya." She coughed up some blood while I laughed sadly.

"Yeah you did hun. Sleep now. I'll wake you up later." I say as she nodded closing her eyes. I hugged her against my body crying when I felt a kick to my back. I flew forward and hit a wall as my shield was knocked from my hand. I groaned before looking back to see a third holy knight holding a mace and a knife I recognized.

"Finally we can be done with this mission." He said walking forward slowly.

"Who are you?" I growled getting up shakily.

"It does not matter." He said before throwing the knife at me which I dodged only to be hit in the face with a mace. I flew back and landed on my back as I coughed up blood. "I will claim the prize of this abomination." I let my arms fall down. My left arm landed on something metal. I looked over and saw my shield.

"Why did you do it?" I asked coughing up more blood.

"So you know how powerless you are to save the ones you love. So you can be a failure. So you can never fulfill your destiny." I looked up to see him raising his mace before I flung my shield with all my strength at him. I closed my eyes before I could see if I hit only to hear the sound of 2 things hitting the ground. I opened my eyes to see I decapitated the knight as my shield was covered in blood. I rolled him off me as I then got up going back over to Andre.

"I failed again. I'm sorry andre." I cried as I held her. I looked at her left hand to see that she was holding a knife. Before I could grab it a burning pain ignited in my right wrist. I howled in pain as I saw a red tattoo appear.

I grabbed the knife without hesitation and started to cut into my wrist as I felt my blood spill out. As I did I heard footsteps. I ignored them and kept cutting. I cried more and more while my vision was blurry with tears as a boy with blonde hair and a dragon serpent hilted sword was looking at me. As I stared at him I sensed some very powerful dark magic coming from him. It made me want to attack him. But I had no reason to. Why do I even want to in the first place?

"What are you doing?" He asked curiously.

"I'm paying for my mistakes and failures." I say quietly as he looks at me.

"What are you talking about?" The boy asked as I saw a giant woman, a chubby boy, a floating woman, a man wearing red, a man that had muscles for days, and a walking suit of armor.

"I failed to protect them. I couldn't save anyone." I cry as i let my head hang. "I need to die. I'm useless." Blood kept going down my hand dripping off.

"Wow Aren't you something." The man in red said as he looked down at me. I saw a scar on his face going down his neck. "You couldn't save anyone and now you think you can't do anything. Wow."

"What do you think I should do then?" I growled at him.

"Keep living for them. Tell those who you couldn't save that you will go on and do better next time." The man in red said while putting his hands on his head.

"Where would I even start?" I cried as I saw my arms wound quickly heal into a scar.

"How about joining us? The seven deadly sins?" The blonde boy said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea Captain?" Red guy asked as I saw the floating woman come closer to me.

"Yes. We are supposed to help the people of this land." Blonde boy said.

"Hmmmm. I think we should Ban. He has very strong physical strength, high spirit, and I can't even read his magic level." She said as she looked me in the face. I saw muscle man in the back get a bit angry before calming down.

"So what do you say kid?" Blonde boy asked as I looked at him.

"Is there anything else I should know about the job?" I asked him as he scratched his chin.

"You ever fight a demon?" He asked as knowledge about demons flowed into my mind.

"No but I can if it ever comes to it." I say as he smiled. Something about him is strange.

Trust him child. A voice spoke into my ear.

"Great come on. Let's go grab your shield." He said picking it up.

Diane?" The floating woman looked back at the giant woman.

"Yes Merlin?" She asked as she stepped forward.

"Please be a dear and grab him. I feel he will be passing out soon." Merlin said before that very sentence came true.
