It was over eons ago it feels like. I was a teenager, eighteen almost nineteen and a front line soldier. I was only front line because i had been crowned the greatest warrior within our family generations.

Now, I don't want to be cocky.
But I'm gonna be cocky.

Usually you'd have to train over thirty years just to obtain such a name. The King, he did it in ten which gave him power and i did it within a month. Reason being, i was ordered to fight until i died or everything in my path was slaughtered. I had to fight for my country, my kingdom. I had ended the lives of over three hundred thousand men single handedly. In my mind i showed doubt but weilding my sword of darkness, i showed massive courage. My father was never around to witness my glory, if i even had one. I was even sent on missions.

I remember it.
I see the memories flow as if it was yesterday ..

"Archey, I need for you to break into the enemy castle not far from here and kill their ruler." The King ordered me.

I bowed with respect and responded. "Yes, your majesty." And i leave.

I never needed armor, gauntlets or weapons. I always formed black wrapping tape around my entire body with clothes of my own creation and of course it had the symbol of our kingdom. Later that day, i found a cliff at least a mile from enemy territory. I closed my eyes and then channeled my energy. Positioning my hands to where in my view, the kingdom was inside my palms. I formed a tiny black ball of darkness between my hands and shot it towards the gigantic land. Nobody saw it coming. The black ball suddenly formed itself around all aspects of the land, i brought my hands down and clapped them together. I wiped the oxygen away inside and slowly began crushing everything. The ball started to close, forcing anything in it to deminish. As i seperated my hands, there was a outrageously tremendous explosion. The winds coming from direct contact were over 200 mph. My nose began to bleed heavily from outputting an overly excessive amount of destruction. I had created a hole so large that if you went to outter space, you could see it from six planets away. I dropped to a knee, noticing that all across the lands that there were great earthqaukes causing extra destruction. After almost passing out, i had reported back home and to the king.

"My mission is complete, My lord." I spoke quietly.

"I had men follow you young warrior." The King said.

I felt questioned for a moment.

"You did not what i asked of you." He said to me.

"But in the end, i did what you told me." I responed. 

"But you did not do what i specifically asked. You went off and caused mayhem by your own choosing . You murdered thousands and thousands of people!!" He shouted.

I went quiet. More silent than i usually am. I couldn't think honestly. I was already hurting from a devastating headache and the yelling made it no better. 

"Speak!!!" He yelled once more.

I opened my mouth without thinking. "I obliterated the enemy for fucking good!! One down and many more to fucking go!! Why must you keep this bullshit up?! I kill anyone dealing with the enemy! You fuckers look upon me to handle the dirty work while you all sit back and chill?! FUCK NO!!! I stress because of this!! All i've done is handled the situation my way, I don't see you out there besides myself!! I protect you and this kingdom and this is my thanks!?!" 

"Who do you think you're talking to?!!!" He responded with a roar.

"WHO THE FUCK ELSE?!" I screamed.

 "Go to your chamber and begone from my sight!" He growled.

"With pleasure my lord." I said smartly.
