## **Storyline**

* **Year 221.**

**Mai Ashikaga** was able to escape **Cress**'s prison and faked her dead infront of the soldiers. She ran far away to **Agurus Empire** and gave birth in a church in Dhalm town, she would soon pass away due the exhaustion, living only a green crystar for the son. Who named Blate Arizo by the Dhalm Church.

* **Year 236.**

**Blate** grew up and become a teenage with arrogant attitude due to his unatural strength, he became an middle rank adventurer that hunt monster to show off and constantly bloat about his abilities. He would pick fight with people who annoy him.

In short, he was very edgy.

* **Year 240.**

The long war between the nearby kingdom **Dunoas** and their relative kingdoms make adventurers, knights, soldiers, and all sort of people pass by Dhalm. Which only further fueled Blate's delusion of himself because he did pick fights and won with many of them. The adventurers in town viewed him as their boss and would do what he demand out of fear, other tries to avoid him.

* **Year 242.**

Blate continue to boss around town people until the Fall of that year.

A girl in mage clothes comes to the town, Introduced herself name as July Benjamin, the king's second daughter, and says she is recruiting strong fighters to defend the **Empire** from unknown dark forces.

Everyone, of course, wanted to get recruited by the princess but she only approaches Blate and asks him to join the army, Blate with his arrogance provoke July into a fight where he bet his servitude and demands her body. to which July agrees in distaste.

To everyone's surprise, July put Blate down in an instant with a punch after he made his first move. July then promptly drag him away while ignoring the crowd.

After Blate soon woke up from the concussion, he was in a cart travling to the capital with July, on there he hear from July that she not gonna let some talent be wasted on a brat who likes to terrorize people. After a bit of lectures, Blate gave in and said one day he will beat her and get his freedom back. To which July said the bet about his service and her body will remain until then.

Man their talk must be very spicy for that kind of development ngl.

* **Year 243.**

One year almost passed after Blate got 'abducted' by July. He has improved a lot by then, both in personality and ability, he is still quite bratty and overselling his ability but he is more cheerful than before.

His relationship with July has been going quite well, Blate has left his rebellious attitude for a while and view July as a comrade, maybe even a friend. They fend off demons which each other while Blate keeps joking about how useless the military is, letting the princesses doing the work. July just says something about "great power great responsibility" whenever that happens. It's true that July and her royal family is immensely powerful comparing to any other person in the kingdom, maybe that's why they are the rulers after all.

Blate also met July elder cousin, **Airis Fujisaki**, and they also got quite a chemistry going on, but Airis often stay at a port far away so they don't have much interaction.

The king took a liking to Blate and has been training him personally, but to his frustration, Blate seems to incompatible with any type of weapon he tried, as well as not being able to do any type of magic despite the huge amount of magical power he sensed from him. While it makes the king worries about the young man growth as a warrior it also makes him laugh whenever he saw Blate in battle with a dozen types of weapons strapped to him while he constantly swaps to the one he needs while battling, Blate strength make it not a problem but it looks funny to the king.

* **Year 244.**

The easy-going days lasted for not long, the world has been overrun with demons, The King decided to evacuate his people to an area with a barrier that only lesser demons can pass through, the achievement of a certain Voidfox Miko.

During the evacuation, the mass of people drag the attention of a nearby demon horde and these creatures began to chase after them. The King and July, alongside Airis fend of the demons while their people enter the barrier. they were about to be safe but Blate has an idea when he saw what seems to be a leader among the demons, he thought he could end it all right there.

In a flash, Blate rushes into the demons army, to the royal family horror. He shreds enemies left and right and makes way to the Leader Demon, he then jumps up and chopped its arm off with ease, but a moment of losing focus makes him got caught by the Demon remaining hand and it burn him with Dark Magic coming straight from the very fist. The King and July rushed to the rescue despite Airis tried to stop them. The King and July, knowing Blate is impervious to elemental magic, overused their fire-Origin power to the point of vaporizing themself, incinerated the Leader Demon and the demon horde off the plain in a massive nuke.

Blate survived but the King is dead, July still alive but after being bought to care, she has lost most of her eyesight, and her firepower is lost forever. Overcome with guilt and anguish. Blate left and wander away.

It's nighttime on a mountain top, the depressed Blate just brooding under a tree when a figure appears out of nowhere, Blate broke a cold sweat under the sudden, undetected arrival and the air of pressure coming from the newcomer. Then he surprises more to see that the person looks a lot like him, with white fur, green eyes, green-hue inner ears...

"I'm **Zetta Ashikaga**, I came because of the massive burst of magic coming from here this afternoon... didn't think I would see another Hu Hou alive, or do they call it Voidfox nowadays...."

"A... what?"

* **Year 247.**

Blate have gone with Zetta to the Midoriya Shrine - a shrine on top of a floating island - for 4 years. He learned about his heritage and his origin, how the Hu Hou came to near extinction, and **Cress**'s crime.

Blate gain his family name **Ashikaga** He used the crystal left by his mother to forge his own weapon and to Zetta surprise, it was just a traditional katana, Zetta made a remark on how the Ashikagas always get the basic katana, including herself.

Since then he have trained intensely in the way of Voidfox, swore vengence again **Cress,** the person responsible for all of his suffering, as well as his race, he soon be able to fight on par, and eventually surpass Zetta. Even Zetta didn't expect this growth speed. Blate mastered everything too quick, the Arts, the swordplays. He certainly is motivated.

* **Year 248.**

When the Midoriya island is passing Dunoas kingdom, Blate says good bye to Zetta and jump down right infront of Dunoas's King fortres, ready to unleash all the Voidfox fury on the one who ruined his life, he draw his "Green Horizon" and cut down towers like grass, storming his way to the throne room... and the man standing there was much younger than he expected...

A wolf with blue hair, fur trimmed light armor, carrying a scythe, look quite confused and bear a seemingly familiar energy. and tell his name was **Drak Vuris**

Blate state his name and says that he will \*kill\* Cress for all the crime he had done, to which Drak responded that the old king was dead, and that he was Cress' son. Suddenly, all the Blate's hatred that was redirected towards Cress now pointing to Drak instead. Blate charge at Drak and begin to unleash his rain of attacks on him.

Their battle blown away a large part of the castle and Drak got blasted into the urban area. Blate went on to deliver the finisher, but then became conflicted as the civilians all stood out in attempt to stop him and protect their king. His anger died down and apologized Drak for giving in to vengeance and hatred. Afterwards they learned that they were actually half-brothers.

Some time later, Drak almost got assassinated by the same demonic creature that killed Cress before, but Blate swooped in to deflect the hit then brutally shredded the creature to pieces, even with Drak telling him to stop.

Much to their surprise, a dark orb escaped from the remains and shot away, while the body pieces seemed to merge back together and formed a small girl, who was revealed to be their lost sister, Syrie Vuris. She was sacrificed to Hell a decade ago by Cress to bring about the demon army. Luckily, having been pushed into extreme environments, the Sifter Origin in her thrived again as she adapted and consumed more powerful demons as she climbed up the food chain. At some point she thought to herself "Heck yes I definitely can solokill the literal lord of Hell".... and then she failed, got mind-controlled and turn into a puppet.

The brothers quickly take note of how dysfunctional their newfound sister's mentality is then continued with the plan. But now including Syrie in it because she has vast knowledge about Hell environment, and more importantly she have vital information about ...

ȧ̢̺͙̙́͊̈́ă͚̄â̪̝̭̦͑́͊͝à̡̱̤̰̈́̂̂́á̛̯̗͎̩͍̐͑̈́͝ḁ̙̞̃̏̅̀

... which is not pronounceable in any mortal language so they just called him Actual Satan™, and apparently beating him can seal off all Demon Gates.

* **Year 249.**

The three siblings entered the Great Hell Gate after an announcement to Drak's people. Little did they know that their adventure would go on for so long that people from the overworld had all began to think they are dead.

* **Year 256.**

After fighting through countless demons and hardships, they finally entered the Actual Satan™ lair. It was an intense fight, Drak and Syrie almost got killed, in the case of Syrie she died multiple times. At last, Blate used his ultimate technique to end Actual Satan™ at the cost of greatly damaging his own body, result in him incapable of using his full strength ever again.

At last, all three survived and escape Hell through a tear in space Blate used the last of his power to make.

When they come out of Hell... they see that the world is much more different. Their disappearance 6 years ago caused a shift in the balance of power, which resulted in machinery and technology being developed rapidly to compensate for the loss of crazy powerful individuals.

Blate says goodbye to his siblings and go find July.

* **Year 257.**

One year after the "Heroes return" event, or whatever people called it. The world have changed and become much more modern, medival systems are no longer exist. Blate return to the Neo Agarus, now a modern nation with **Elri Slima** as the prime minister. Blate reconnected his relationship with July as July forgive him knowing all the hardship he have went through.

Blate also know that Airis have died in battle and she have a daughter named **Fuki Fujisaki**, who Blate regconized as his child, result of a one night stand between him and Airis years ago before the Agarus evacuation. He and July ended up adopting Fuki as their children.

* **Later**

Blate settle down with July and eventually have 3 more children.

**Mayu Ashikaga**, **Alex Ashikaga** and **Lucas D.Benjamin**.

He then begin to work as a watermelon farmer and operate a hot spring.

He generally gave up on all the fighting, and thinking that he can trust Syrie to solve all the remaining conflicts.

## **Trivial**

* His sword is named Green Horizon.
* Blate character development was actually sort of happens in real time, as Sai create Blate in high early school, being affected by dozens of teenage anime tropes making Blate an extremely overpowered edgy protag type of OC.... it get better over time but Blate original personality and original design still showing in his cannon young days.
* Blate name is just a slightly modification to "Blade", it might read the same.
* Watermelon was a fruit that only the voidfox was able to cultivating before, the world outside only know about it after the demon invasion end and Blate start making business out of it.
* Blate is quite bugged that Mayu act like his youngful self.
* He own a gray vespa and ... it's his favourite method of transpotation...
* He is so adept in Ki power that he can reinforce his hair to the point of being able to play violin with them, using his own sword as the violin bow.
* Just like Zetta Ashikaga intro animation in Rivals of Aether. and in the unfinished game Blank Place ,Blate is capable of tear open a way to go past his own world if needed.
