Chapter 4 - Zack Lockwood 1
"Only Hope for humanity is that when we successfully defeat the monster race. And close the portal that they are using to pour in numbers. Once and for all."
"Legends say the portal belongs to some other world and it\'s opened in our world due to some ancient wars in the universe. we have been trying hard to decrease the number of monsters pouring in continuously. Our only hopes are Elite Warriors at the Human level and Supremes(Non-human level warriors)."
"They only act, When there is need and at the time of war. which was happened 10 years ago, few of the Supremes were still recovering from their injuries in seclusion. Only their Super elite organizations are working in their absence."
"Lets\' hope at least they can create New Diamond Generation Seniors. We got many of the people from Golden Generation Elite Force, It is due to them we can resist the invasion forces of the Foreign race."
"So, We need every bit of humanity\'s power to restrain monsters. If he reaches Captain level that would be great. Only if he gets a suitable Inheritance and obtains a Mark of Inheritance. He cannot be bullied by others. He will be treated as a Human asset and live honorably. otherwise, he would be like others. fated with living in the outskirts of the outpost."
Lockwood returned his gaze to the child, "This child must surpass them all and become humanity\'s sword. The next few years will be rough, we\'ll need all the firepower we can get." "Who\'ll train him?" Ferral questioned.
"If this boy has a breakthrough after these 10 years, I will train him myself."
-------------------
Ferral sat beside the head of Green Leaf Orphanage, William, "This child goes by Zack, I wish to leave him in your care."
William looked at the sleeping baby boy, "I\'m sorry Lord Ferral but our current staff is incapable of caring for children below the age of five.
Ferral smiled, "I know, that\'s why I brought her." Behind them was an old lady, she smiled and took Zack from Ferral\'s arms. She spoke in a soft voice, "I apologize for not introducing myself sooner, I am Grandma Parker."
Grandma Parker was recommended by Lord Lockwood himself. She lived a sad and lonely life since her husband died in battle with monsters last year.
Lockwood thought giving her responsibility for Zack would be a good anti-depressant. Upon hearing Lockwood\'s request, she immediately accepted hoping that the small child would bring her happiness and comfort.
She leaped at the opportunity to no longer be alone. "You don\'t have to worry William; Grandma Parker will take care of him and help out with the other children." --------------
*4 years later*
A young boy swung a piece of stick back and forth continued with a serious and determined look on his sweaty face. "Zack come here!"
Grandma Parker called out. After hearing the multiple fascinating stories about Grandma Parker\'s husband, Zack made it his life goal to become a warrior. At the age of five, Zack started training with a wooden stick.
Grandma Parker was impressed by his motivation but couldn\'t help but worry about his future if he follows the path of a warrior. She feared he would share the same fate as her deceased husband.
The boy quickly ran to her with a bright smile, "What\'s for dinner Grandma?"
