"Who are you!" Killian's voice boomed with authority, his tone laced with a hint of aggression.

"Me? Oh, right, right. I'm Varen," Varen responded, his voice dripping with a mix of nonchalance and arrogance. "Former Royal Knight, but I retired from that position. Decided to join the bandits, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Because those fat and skinny kings up there weren't offering enough excitement, you know? Not enough women, not enough gold!" His laughter echoed through the clearing, tinged with a sense of reckless abandon.

Meet Varen, once a distinguished Royal Knight of Aurelia, renowned for his unmatched strength, agility, endurance, and combat prowess. His skills on the battlefield surpass even the most seasoned warriors, a testament to his extraordinary abilities. Armed with a formidable pike, he strikes fear into the hearts of his adversaries. Standing at an imposing height of 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 87 kilograms, Varen commands respect and admiration wherever he goes.

Varen's face


"A royal knight," Micah muttered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

"So? Who would join you in your defeat?" Killian retorted, his tone laced with defiance.

Varen remained silent for a moment, his gaze piercing as he locked eyes with each of them in turn. Eldritch's throat tightened in apprehension, while Qarek felt beads of sweat forming on his brow.

"Four against one would be enough for me," Varen stated calmly, his words carrying an ominous weight.

Varen then smirked, a confident gleam in his eyes as he observed the tension in the air.

"I've faced worse odds than this," he added, his voice laced with a hint of amusement. "But hey, if you're feeling lucky, let's dance."

Micah exchanged a glance with Killian, both sensing the weight of Varen's presence and the formidable aura emanating from him. Eldritch and Qarek, on the other hand, remained silent, their expressions unreadable as they observed the unfolding confrontation with a mix of apprehension and resolve.

Varen charged at the group, wielding his pike with menacing intent, singling out Micah as his first target.

"You're first, girl!" Varen's voice boomed with aggression as he lunged forward.

Reacting swiftly, Eldritch and Qarek moved in unison, intercepting Varen's attack with precise parries, their coordination a testament to their combat prowess.

"He's fast!" Qarek and Eldritch muttered simultaneously, their voices tinged with surprise at Varen's speed.

Creating distance, Varen leaped back, a smirk playing on his lips as he assessed the situation.

"Hey, Micah! Are you alright?" Killian's concern for Micah was evident as he checked on her welfare.

"Yes... Yes, I'm alright. It's just that, I didn't expect such speed from him," Micah replied, her voice betraying a hint of disbelief at Varen's swiftness.
