John

great warrior john

great warrior john

Oct 03, 2025

A old warrior sat upon a cliff, looking out into the sun set. He had faded out yellow hair,
a jawline littered with white prickly lines and eyes tired from years of battle. His armour full of dents and scratchs and beside him laid his sword, Akuze, its name engraved in the hilt.

Footsteps pounded behind him. A younger warrior, David. He had brown hair covering his eyes and was smaller than the armour he wore. About to faint; when he screamed out a plee at the older warrior; "Great warrior John!". The old warrior; John gave David a side eye. "The village has been attacked by a monster from the forest!"david yelled out; staggering as he approached John, almost falling,loseing consciousness.

Right as he was about to collapse to the ground, John grabbed the back of davids armour. David regained consciousness and looked up at the intimidating figure holding him. Than John thossed David backward with him landing on his butt.

John picked up his sword, Akuze and started walking down the hill to a village where
smoke curled into the sky, and distant screams pierced the wind.

A giant green monster wondered through the burning village. Than it paused when it saw a single infant crying atop the corpses of his parents. The monster lowered it self down to take a closer look at the crying child. The monster raised one fist above the childs head than droped it where the child stood, intending to crush the child.

But no blood came.

It raisesited it's arm in confusion on how there was no blood on its fist. Than looked to the side and saw warrior John squatted mid-slide in front of the child, one hand shielding him, the other gripping Akuze. Slowly, he rose, letting the boy scuttle behind him. His sword gleamed with a streak of purple blood.

Than the monster looked at its wrist and notices a cut from John. It got up, looking at John for a moment. Than it roared, slammed its fists into the ground, and charged at John. John side steped, dogeing the monster's attack. Followed with John raiseing Akuze, preparing to strike the monster's neck but it blocked with one arm. Than it retaliated with a crushing blow. John used his arm to absorb part of the impact, flying into a nearby building. 

Dust and debris filled his vision, but he rose, unbroken. The monster charged again, all fours pounding the ground. John planted Akuze in the dirt, preparing for hand-to-hand combat. He dodged a massive fist from the monster and responded by punching the monster’s jaw, pushing it back. It was left discombobulated for a moment and John took advantage of that chance, barrageing it with fists—right hook, left hook and upper cut.

Than it tried to punch john but he ducked, turned, grabbed Akuze and plunged it into the monster's chest. The monster let out a brief cry of pain than back handed john across the village once again. John bounced of the ground once, twice and a third time, but he regained his balance mid air after the third bounce. He landed on his feet, fists next to his head still ready to fight but his vision a bit blurry and yet he could see the monsters  face; infuriated. 

John gathered every ounce of strength and charged forward head first and so did the monster. They bisected in the middel and maybe it because the monster had hit him that hard or it was actually a strategy but john had gone in with his head leaning forward ahead the rest of his body and the monster slammed its fists into John's head.

 John fell head first into the ground. His feet where still up for a moment, so he double-stomped the monster’s face. After that john pulled himself back up in a sort of front flip and with blood streaking from his forehead he put all his strength into a single jab at the sword still lunged in the monster's chest.

Than the monsters face went blank, falling backward. Leaving John standing atop it fist still extended and blood streaking from his forehead to his jaw.

It's an entertaining intro and I like how it goes straight into the action.

Also, I like how the hero is an older warrior, rather than a kid like they often do.

But I humbly suggest you check more for typos.
