History
After the war between mankind and dragons ended, the records of the Ancient Ones were wiped out, and most humans have forgotten who they were, but their tales and legends were told in fairy tales and myths, which can be hard to believe for humans in the current era. The origin of King Gaiseric is a mystery and unconfirmed, his birthplace and his age are unknown, and his youth and childhood was never mentioned before in his life. The fame of Gaiseric only grew after the war between Sacrifar and Runeforce ended, and 10 years after the end of the 100 years blood war, Gaiseric united several nations and formed a country of his own, and became the king himself.

The journey of Gaiseric to kingship was never that easy. Gaiseric was once a slave gladiator to the empire of Sacrifar. For years, he had served as a loyal servant for entertainment to the kingdom of Sacrifar, bound to the chains of imprisonment and suffered years of torment for at the hands of Sacrifar. However, Gaiseric was different from the common slaves, he had a talent, No, rather than a talent, it was a gift, a gift of charisma, he was the one who always stood out of his kind and fought for the freedom for his own people. Eventually, his rebellious personality lead him to his death sentenced by the emperor of Sacrifar, but fortunately, Gaiseric had the support from every single citizens of Sacrifar, as a slave who reached the pinnacle of the gladiator world and rebelled against his own king, His actions inspired all citizens, therefore, the king had no choice but to offer him his freedom. After becoming a hero among the slaves and freed from the shackles of imprisonment, Gaiseric's fame grew beyond nations, and spreaded throughout the world, being the first slave who achieved freedom. After his release from the kingdom of Sacrifar and retirement as a gladiator, he took part in numerous real battles in the outside world, overcoming many crisis and dilemmas. During his journey, Gaiseric searched for his purpose in life, seeking for it while wandering endlessly everywhere he travelled. Afterwards, Gaiseric came across several kingdoms and empires, where he saw several kings as his inspiration, as the rulers of the empires and leaders of their people, and the people worship and show their respects and adore their leader, and at that moment, he realized , he was destined to become a king, and a ruler of a country , but no, his greed soon grew, and from being a king, His dream became bigger and far greater than anyone can ever imagined, he was fated for world domination

It was after the destruction of Sacrifar and Runeforce by the hands of an unknown force, Gaiseric began to realize his dream of world conquest. Throughout his journey, he travelled from continents to nations, and battled numerous warriors, and defeated them. However, he realized his dream could never be accomplished alone by himself, and so, he gathered warriors from everywhere, he persuaded every warriors to join him together for his conquest for world domination, but all words fell on deaf ears, claiming Gaiseric as a naive man who believed such a childish dream. However, Gaiseric's actions proved them wrong, after months, he eventually gathered countless warriors throughout the lands, hundreds of them, his foes who once claimed his dream was impossible to achieve looked in awe, unable to believe such feat can be achieved by a single man. Warriors from the foreign lands, came forth and followed Gaiseric, everyone knew from the start, this man was not normal, His charisma was like a God's, like a blazing fire, attracting the fire flies around it , his gift of charisma was without a doubt blessed from the heavens. With only hundreds of warriors joining him in his quest, he did not reap or drown in despair, In fact, it was the opposite, he was grateful for the warriors who joined him and not fearing the danger that lies ahead of them. Never once stopped believing in his dream, Gaiseric and his army marched towards other foreign kingdoms and conquer them. To his surprise, with his intelliegence and talent as a strategist in battles, his army defeated numerous kingdoms and even grew in larger numbers, whether they were warriors who were defeated by Gaiseric or those who claimed victory over him, after listening to his inspiring story and his dream of conquest, they all decided to be part of his army and fight for him. With a massive army of thousands of warriors, his dream was already within his grasp, and the prophecy was true. Within months, his army conquered over many kingdoms and nations, and he united all the nations which he dominated into a country of his own, which he called Magoria, The City of King.

10 years after the birth of Magoria, for his whole life, Gaiseric was finally crowned King, the King of Magoria, and he was given many titles for his accomplishments, The first Undisputed King of Mankind. the King of Kings. the King of Conquest. After uniting several countries and forming Magoria, his country became the most powerful kingdom ever existed in the world, his greed was his motivation, his friendship was his protection, he became an inspiration to his people. Unfortunately, a kingdom was still never enough for Gaiseric, after conquering a country, he yearned for more, his goal was world domination, not a ruler of a country , having the strongest empire and the strongest army of mortals were still not enough to achieve his goal , he required something even far greater, far stronger, he required the powers of a God, a power not of mortals. After years of searching for his answers, Gaiseric finally found the source to ultimate power, Magic. Gaiseric as greedy as ever, wanted his army to be granted with magic powers and immortality, thus becoming the strongest army in mankind history and rule over the world, but not knowing the origin of magic, Gaiseric was still unable to accomplish his plan. Nevertheless, Gaiseric once heard of a hero was gifted with the magic powers similar to a God and ended the 100 years blood war between Runeforce and Sacrifar, and he who was revived by a mystical force possessed the powers to shake the very heavens itself. Knowing such person existed, both he and his army travelled the world, in search of the mysterious man who possesses immortality.

5 years had passed, and still no signs of the man they've been searching. After searching across the Dessert of Lost souls, The Mountain of deaths and the Swamps of the night, They've been through many hardships and suffered for 5 years, more than half of his men died along their journey. Gaiseric, still the proud man as he was 5 years ago, never lost hope, and still determined to find the answers, his men carrying their faith together with their king, their fate bound together in eternity, they were willing to follow their king until the end of time. Strong, the will and the spirit of his army were, but the journey was too difficult , his men were losing their strength, and their sickness were deteriorating. Sooner or later, the once claimed, strongest army of Magoria vanished from the face of the earth, only leaving the King, Gaiseric the last man survived. He grieved and weeped for his fellow friends, but that didn't stop his journey, he was still persistent to continue his quest. Even so, after 7 days and 7 nights, With his body in a weakened condition, Gaiseric struggled to continue his journey, but to no avail, his strength was leaving his body, his mind was slowly collapsing, his eyes were closing, his breathing was weakening, and finally falling to an eternal slumber. That was until he heard a voice calling out to him, a voice in his mind calling endlessly. He awoke from his sleep, and saw himself stranded in a wide plain of dessert under the scorching sun and cloudless clear skies. An unknown voice called out to him, as he recalled was the same voice that woke him from his slumber, he resided within "the Throne of Heroes", a dimension where legendary souls return to when their bodies are destroyed, a small space part of the universal astral location known as "The Void", shadows of his precious friends appeared around him, but they were just memories, their bodies lied within the Throne of Heroes together with the King himself in separated dimensions. In theory, one can say the Throne of Heroes is heaven for the dead souls of warriors, but unfortunately, Gaiseric was never the common warrior. His desire and his greed kept motivating him, even after his death, the will and spirit of his soul was too strong. Unwilling to accept his fate, he demanded to be returned to Earthland, but the mysterious voice could not allow that, for his escape shall bring disaster to the future events. Nevertheless, as the mighty king of Magoria, the bond between him and his army was strong enough to defy the laws of nature, breaking through space and time, unable to contain Gaiseric within the Throne, Gaiseric was transported back to his world, Earthland, through the combined efforts of his friends, but what came after his return to Earthland was not what he expected.

As joyous it may sounds, King Gaiseric returned to his rightful place, Earthland. However, everything was not as it seemed, by the time Gaiseric was awakened from his death, to his surprise, his body was beneath the earth and sand, he strived and crawled out of his tomb desperately, and made it to the land covered by the sun. Astonished and surprised, when he climbed out of his grave, looking up to the skies, and staring at the far horizon, he saw the world had changed, a change so big he could never imagined. It was no longer the same world he had known, surprisingly, he was informed that 20 years had passed ever since his death, and once known as the strongest Kingdom , Magoria which he created was splitted and divided to multiple kingdoms. With the loss of his kingdom and his army, Gaiseric was just a normal man, a common like everyone else. However, fate had never been so kind with Gaiseric, as the unknown voice appeared within his mind once again, stating his fate was sealed and his death was inevitable, the end of his path was only destruction and chaos. Defying the words of the mystical being, Gaiseric continued his life as a fellow commoner for a short amount of time. Eventually, Gaiseric easily fitted into society, and became a common citizen, adored by other people. However, after decades, people around cities had a change of attitude towards Gaiseric, and started treating him differently. Not even the slightest change to his appearance and not even aging one bit, surprised and astonished himself, Gaiseric wondered about the changes to his body and did not have the slightest clue of what happened. Sooner or later, there were accusations about him being involved in dark magic from the people, due to the fact he ages slower than others. Once the people who adored him turned against him, Gaiseric was banished from the cities and wandered off elsewhere.

Years of banishment, years of loneliness, years of hatred, Gaiseric went into exile and was never seen by a human for decades. In order to search for the answers to his body and methods to revive his army and kingdom to return his glory as king, Gaiseric heard a rumor of a mysterious island, the Island of the Mist, the Dormaru Island, in that island, thousand of treasures and unlimited knowledge beyond the imagination of mankind was hidden within. Nevertheless, hundreds of mortals entered the island and never returned, but not for Gaiseric, with his burning spirit revived, he marched towards the island and headed straight towards the center of the island, in which the Fortress of Dormaru Island resides. After passing and survived every challenges and deadly traps within the fortress, at last, Gaiseric made it to the end of his journey. After bypassing the chamber of Doom, the Bridge of the Fallen, the Cliffs of Madness, The Ruins of the Forgotten, the Canyons of Sorrow and several other danger parts of the fortress, Gaiseric finally made it to the Temple of Fate, which was the end of his journey. Inside the temple, Gaiseric found nothing, no treasure, and not a single living being, except a mysterious ancient box. As reckless as he usually was, he opened the box and ancient entity appeared before him. A legendary entity, known as the Undead sorceress, Nosferatu Evageline Alucard, an ancient relic of the past, once conquered the demon world as the Mistress of Darkness and still, no demons until this day could match against her powers. A normal human is unable to withstand the unbelievable force of the appearance of the Queen of Terror herself, due to her immense power, but Gaiseric proved her wrong. Surprised a human such as Gaiseric could withstood her powers, she saw through him and knew he was not normal. Once one who passed through the universal space, "the Void", and returned to Earthland, one can obtain extraordinary powers and conquer the heavens. Fate had spoken, A warrior dressed as a blazing flame, he would lead 5 incredible powerful beings together and release humanity from their suffering and bring peace to the world, and the Demon Empress once sealed by the hands of a human shall serve the first one who released her from her imprisonment. As the prophecy foretold, Evangeline claimed Gaiseric was the destined man that will change the fate of the future.

It was not long after he discovered his new powers, and soon he started to search for the other 4 warriors to join his legion of mighty champions. After sometime, searching from every continents in the world, he recruited all 5 of them, the first was the Mother of Demons herself, Evangeline Alucard and the rest goes by the names, Zora Vampeljing, Grendal Messiah, Sabbah Isharah, and lastly the man he was searching for all of his life, the immortal knight, Arcadius Lionhart. Once these 5 heroes were gathered together, Gaiseric made the Island his command center, and became the King and Ruler of the island of Dormaru, he rebuilt the City of Magoria , and became the founder and the leader of the Ancient Ones, which after several decades leads to the creation of a new guild, called God Hand.

Plot
i will skip the plot for now, i will come back to the plot as soon i'm finished with his abilities

Abilities and Powers
The Throne of Heroes(英雄の王位eiyuu no oui) : a lost magic, a natural counter to the Tomb of Heroes, while
 * The Lich King (霊王Rei-ō): Gaiseric's final and strongest take over form. In this form, Gaiseric has transcended beyond the powers of humans and demons, he possesses the abilities and strength similar to his previous version, as the Emperor Skull Knight. In this state, Gaiseric has full control over his body, and his soul does not clash with his inner demon's. The reason this transformation is stronger than his previous forms is because he can utilize all magic of his , by combining the Throne of Heroes and human subordination magic , he absorbs the souls of the heroes from the Throne, and gains unlimited power, he does not eats or drains their souls, but their souls are combined together with his, which make them fight as one, a demonic knight with thousands of souls within. Gaiseric refers to himself as "us" when he's the Lich King, for thousands of souls are fighting with him in one body. He still wields the magical blade Ragnarok in this current form, but the blade's appearance changes to have a more sword-like shape. He no longer rides on his horse , and he does not possess the appearance of a skeleton anymore and changes to a demonic dark knight. Nevertheless, in exchange for great power, there comes with a price, in this strongest form of his, the transformation will drain his life force , slowly killing him, thus which is why Gaiseric rarely utilizes this take over form.

Master Stategist: His primary and greatest skill, a master in military strategy and tactics. His intelligence as a tactician in wars and battles, claimed numerous victories over several Kingdoms and countries, and unfied them, and created a kingdom of his own. Even, Arcadius Lionhart stated that his strategies rivals that of Mavis's, the Fairy strategist of Fairy tail, and may be even greater than her. Through this skill of his, he was renowned as the Lord of War, similar to a god of war, he can predict his enemies' next movement and everything goes according to his plan, as if he can manipulate the events around the battlefield. He is also shown to be a cunning man, capable of formulating well-thought-out plans several steps ahead of others. These plans are incredibly detailed, and are planned out with the long term in mind. This skill is also the main reason he attained the title as the Leader of the Ancient Ones and Ruler of the island of Dormaru.

Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Gaiseric is an expert in swordsmanship, although not as skilled as Arcadius lionhart. Having fought in numerous battles in his past and with his experience, he is skilled enough to fight on par with extremely skilled sword mages. His swordsmanship is not mostly based on skills and agility, but more on raw power, which is why he always fights with one hand free. This was shown when he fought with collosal demons, and he cut through them with just one strike from his blade. While clashing blades with a normal human, one strike from his sword can easily send him flying in the air. During a battle with Arcadius lionhart, Gaiseric transformed into his demonic take over form, and he managed to deflect several blades flying towards him, eventually tiring himself out, and was severely injured later at the hands of Arcadius.

Master Hand to Hand Combatant: While prefering to use his blade in battles, Gaiseric has demonstrated several ocassions to be very dangerous barehanded as well. He can easily catches an opponent's attacks with a single hand and perform powerful kicks and take downs, even throwing them like a rag doll. He is also very adept at finding and exploiting weaknesses in his opponent's abilities, he is also adept at adjusting to his opponent's attack patterns, and battle methods to better counter them. His fighting style is nothing special, and is similar to his swordsmanship, which is based on brute strength, he fights with his one of his hand while using his other hand wielding his sword. He was shown from time to times, sparring with the martial artist expert Arcadius and sometimes picking up a win against him, though Arcadius goes easy on him sometimes.

Immense Magic powers: As the founder and the leader of the Ancient Ones and God Hand, his magic powers is monstrously overwhelming, in fact , it is so great, he was shown capable to stand his ground against 3 S class mages without using his full power, his magic powers are shown to be powerful enough to affect entire areas to the point of disrupting attacks from his enemies, While he's in his demonic form, he can even cause others from seemingly miles away to enter a state of paralysis. Even in his take over form, his powers are too vast, that by just being a couple feet away from a normal human, he can cause the human to enter a coma state.

Immense Durability: As resilient as Gaiseric is, he is extremely hard to damage, especially when he's in his demonic form, but he is vulnerable in his human form. During the battle between Gaiseric and Arcadius, Gaiseric actually managed to get "serious" with him, and transform into his demonic take over, Arcadius used several weapons against him, but most of his wounds healed within seconds. Despite being stabbed and slashed numerous times, he told Arcadius he needs to "put more effort" into it. He even fought with 3 S class mages alone, and claimed their fight was considered "child's play".

Immense Strength: Perhaps due to years of combat experience and time on the battlefield, Gaiseric has a vast amount of strength, most commonly displayed by his ability to fight back his opponent's attacks with a single arm bare handed. Even against the collosal gigantic form of Grendal Messiah, Gaiseric's sword attacks are powerful enough to cut through him, even though he still regenerates afterwards. However, there was once when Gaiseric was actually unable to withstand the force of Arcadius's strongest weapon, Amon Entei, he claimed that weapon of his was so heavy as if he was carrying the whole earth on his back.

Immense Endurance: His physical strength is matched by his resilience, with or without his demonic form, Gaiseric has been shown to easily ignore most of the injuries he sustained from battles, not suffering from any debilitation despite having multiple slash wounds on his body. During his battle with Arcadius, Arcadius managed to severely injure his highness' face while he transformed into the Great Skull Emperor, and Gaiseric not even showing any signs of pain at all. There was even a time when the Ancient ones fought against a certain guild and Gaiseric suffered from numerous slash wounds, so severe that most people would have already been dead at that point.

Inner Demon: The result of his greed and desires, a doppleganger of himself, the dark side of King Gaiseric. After realizing his take over magic, Gaiseric acknowledged his own inner demon, and began to find ways to tame it. However, His inner demon continuously urges him to give in to his dark desires and become the Tyrant of Terror which everyone fears, his only reason for existence is to take over Gaiseric's body and use it to kill anything, and conquer everything, taking Gaiseric's body and his powers for himself, as opposed to Gaiseric's way of "conquering". Gaiseric had conflicts with his inner demons many times, distracting him during battles and prompting him to enter a berserk state.
