The Protégé [On Hold]

[ON HOLD - will be undergoing some fixing]

"The apple tried to cut itself from the tree - and so, it fell. However, no matter what it did, the apple was still not far from the tree."

The Rowland family is very well-known for the unique and enviable talents each of the members has. This family has raised generals, detectives, leaders, assassins, strategists, and many others all throughout their history, whose contributions have been forever etched into stones and books.

Every time a child with the Rowland blood is born, one elder is to train and pass on his own skills and will to that child. This is to ensure that all Rowlands contribute to the Kingdom and the people, which they are mainly reputed for.

But ever since one incident, everything has changed - and the Rowland family's reputation is at stake.

It all depends on one young man, named Hugh Rowland, who, in the end, couldn't take the pressure.

Constantly haunted by that incident and the pressure caused by his name, Hugh Rowland decides to escape from his fate - and now, he is living the life of an ordinary commoner away from his homeland, with the name of a weak, talentless man: Isaac Meakin.

Soon, however, chaos in their land will spread and worsen, and so does the painful truth of Hugh's family.

Join the action-packed adventure of this young man, as he ventures on a journey of his self and of his past, which has kept haunting him for no end; such journey will lead him to two vital choices, and he can only choose one.

Face his fate... or face check mate.
