The World Of The Venerate: Cursed Exorcist
Chapter 1 - Gudov Aliksnov

In the middle of a very quiet forest with dark conditions gripping, seen a teenager with brown hair color walking alone to pay attention to the surrounding forest.

From his movements and expressions that were like confusion, the teenager seemed to be lost or even did not know where he was.

“Gudov..”.

“Who's there?” The teenager was suddenly shocked when he heard a voice from behind calling his name.

He looked back while fearfully searching for the origin of the intangible voice.

“Here Gudov..”.

When he heard the voice again, Gudov immediately stared at the black figure on the tree.

“Uwaahh...!” Frightened to see the black figure, Gudov suddenly immediately fell down.

“Do not be afraid Gudov, I just want to say something to you,” said the mysterious figure.

Although the mysterious figure said not to be afraid of him, but Gudov still felt afraid, the article suddenly saw a creepy black figure with a body shape like a large bird, the article said, it also has a human head with two pairs of burning eyes.

“Si... Who are you?” Gudov asked, emboldening himself to ask who exactly the figure he saw was.

“It does not matter who I really am. I just want to tell you that you must immediately realize your true strength, because if not then something valuable to you will be snatched away,” said the mysterious figure, who is not the only one who has ever known, explain something to Gudov without telling him who he really is.

“What do you mean? I don't understand... Realize my power? What kind of power is that?” Gudov said, throwing some questions so confused he listened to the explanation of the mysterious figure.

“You will find out later..” Say the figure, no longer giving a more detailed explanation.

After saying this, without any intention, the figure suddenly shot out quickly towards Gudov.

–30 January 3000–

“Aaahhh..!” Gudov suddenly woke up in his room and realized that his encounter with the black figure was actually just a dream.

“Haah... Haah.

“Sial.. It turned out to be just a dream,” muttered the teenager did not expect to be able to dream of such a frightening thing.

Shortly afterwards, a woman rushed into the teenager's room.

“What's Gudov? Why are you yelling?” Asked the woman, apparently hearing Gudov was shouting to make her worry.

“It's okay mom, I was just having a bad dream earlier,” said Gudov, reassuring the woman who turned out to be his mother that there was no need to fuss about her scream earlier.

“This must be because you were too exhausted to help your father last night.”

“Eh, I've forgotten.. I promise to help her again today.” Gudov soon realized that it was too late to go help his father today again.

He got up from his bed and moved from his room to prepare to go to the city to help his father who was there.

***

Gudov Aliksnov was a fifteen-year-old boy who lived with his parents in a small town called Vegoblashcensk, in the region of Breiseria, a large part of the Pavonas country located on the continent of Antikara.

Gudov walked through the urban area and then arrived at a wood factory, where the place was managed by his father.

***

“Gudov...” Call Gudov's father while approaching him.

“What's dad?”

“I forgot to say that earlier before you came, Mr. Yermo visited.”.

“There's something he wants to tell you, and ask dad to tell you, but sorry I don't remember being too busy.”

“What does he want to say?” Ask Gudov.

“Entahlah... You better meet him just kensana... After that go straight home, you do not need to come back here,” said his father.

“Good...” Gudov immediately left his job and went to meet someone who was looking for him.

***

Moments later, after leaving his father's wooden factory, the teenager arrived at a building on the outskirts of town, where is a sacred place that is often used by residents as Slivans to worship.

A person sought by Gudov himself is a saint who is responsible as the leader of the holy place.

Gudov opened the front door into a spacious room with long chairs in the middle.

“Mr Yermo I came..” Because I did not see anyone looking for him, the teenager then called the person, but did not come.

Gudov finally sat on one of the long chairs hoping the person would come soon.

Until how many minutes passed, the teenager was bored waiting. He stood up from where he was sitting to get out of that place.

“For once you came..”

“Uwah..!” Gudov screamed in shock at suddenly seeing someone when he was facing backwards.

“Master Yermo...” The teenager immediately realized a man with an appearance of over thirty years old who was in front of him was the one who was looking for him.

“While I have been waiting for you since this afternoon,” said the man named Yermo.

“Sorry Mr. Yermo.. It's actually my father's fault because he just said that you were looking for me,” Gudov replied, explaining why he came late to see the man.

“It turns out your father forgot to say it. I think something happened to you,” said the man was relieved because he was a little worried because Gudov had not come to see him.

“How are you doing? Are you having nightmares again?” Ask the man.

Gudov responded to the man's question by directly nodding his head, then stated to the man that this was true because during the night he had a bad dream of meeting a black creature with a body like a bird.

Hearing Gudov's explanation, the man immediately put one of his hands on the teenager's head and closed both eyes.

The man named Yermo suddenly uttered a sentence that was difficult to understand, wanting to try examining the teenager.

The real intent of the man named Yermo calling Gudov was to re-examine him because Gudov had been having nightmares for several days, although only today the teenager explained himself meeting with the black creature.

Having always had a nightmare, Gudov's parents had previously told the man. He concluded that Gudov seemed to be experiencing a spiritual disturbance, the teenager was under the influence of an evil spirit figure, but after examining him last time, he did not get a negative energy.

After he finished saying the difficult sentence, the man opened his eyes and lowered his hand from Gudov's head.

“You are still the same.. There is no figure who is bothering you,” said the man.
