《So....Turns out imma fallen.》 Past comes present. Lucifer was sipping on the souls of mortals in his demonic chair. Fires burned all around. Despite how powerful this Demon was he never again waged war against God. Rather the demon just created another world for his amusement. Thing is it left him weak hense the hunger for souls. As Lucifer turned around a lowly ranked demon bumbed into by accident. And the axe he was carrying dropped. Lucifer.....beheaded....by a lowly ranked demon.....on accident...... Of course that''s not how the lowly ranked demon played it off he made it sound as if he was an extremely cunning individual. How he waited centuries for the opportunity being a lowly guard of the castle of Lucifer. It was actually very convincing. However the demon said he did not have the power to rule and since his personal revenge was satisfied he decided a rank of nobility and a part of the Treasury of souls to take to seclusion. This was a demon of envy killing someone out of envy was expected in hell. Envy demons were not greedy nor prideful so they were much easier when it came to satisfying personal desires. Wraith, pride, greed and gluttany are the powerhouses of the demon underworld. Lust, and envy were considered the schemers the perfect assasins. Anyway this created a gape in power. The demon who just happened to kill Lucifer profitted off the civil war greatly and used the time to grow more powerful. When a king was announced by that time the envy demon was the most powerful demon that had ever existed all due to luck. And could fight on par with god. When the new king was announced. The demon of envy now calling himself envy itself stole everything from the demon of greed who had become king then killed him. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Shortly after he launched the greatest war since Lucifers fall. Many died many angels fell to earth terribly wounded. The new fallen as they were called were constantly in a state of trying to survive. Demons no longer existed. The closest thing to a demon was a fallen. And after God had sacrificed himself to fix his one flaw upon creation. The fallen were the only ones capable of destroying that sacrifice. I am one of those fallen. However unlike most fallen I never seem to be attacked something about me being in a constant state of nearly re-ascending. I am visited every now and then by warriors of heaven. A lot of fallen hate me. But then they also understand they have a chance to reach my position as well. They both hate me and see me as hope. It puts me in a unique position of being at peace. I have decided that perhaps the only way for me to ascend is to walk in the shadows. I have told the angels this. They disagree and tell me I will be hunted. My response was pretty badass if I do say so myself. "Only if you hunt me,'' I had said of course the minute I left the area I did a miny fistpump. Unfortunately another angel saw it. And he chuckled....My Dignity damn it T^T. chapter 2. So where should I begin. I guess I''ll start with my fall. When the war started I was still young only 240 years of old actually by human years that''s like being 14. The war lasted for 128 years in case your wondering my current age. By human years I am still a slightly older 14 year old......getting back on track I back then I had short white hair golden wings and an arch-halo signifying my rank yes at only 14 I was the same rank as Michele. Who is dead actually got killed by envy that was the moment God blew himself up. And no I do not consider what he did a sacrifice I consider it stupidity their are no more powerful entities left to balance and regulate the universe. Life pockets have poped up everywhere. Humanity is evolving at break neck speak and has even discovered the primal arts I will get into those later. During the war I had taken out many demons but in my arrogance I took on envy and suffered the consequences. An angel falls the minute their Soul is inflicted with the hints of corruption. Attempting to get rid of said corruption is nearly impossible. In the past a fallen could re-Asend by prayer to God but now he was gone. Meaning unless you literally destroyed all essence of your past to the very core of your soul and reverting back to child form with just enough knowledge to survive then you stood no chance. But the biggest draw back to this method is you would be reborn human and would need to live as a saint or you would be once more a fallen when you died. Is you successfully lived the life of a saint then yes you would once more truly become an angel. The risks are and always will be to great. Failure does not just mean becoming a fallen. You become one with no chance of redemption. And this leads to demonhood. It should be noted that in a time of current universal peace where even the shadows are not evil it is impossible to become a saint. The shadows are created from the thoughts of humans. Although minor sins are committed its almost as if they have lost a reason or need to sin so they simply do not and if they do there is good reason or occation. Well that''s a basic lay out of my background I understand that whoever reads this will think it is fantasy but it is truth. Everything I right in this book of mine is true and will come true. This book of my travels will be tossed into the time realm perhaps an older smarter generation will see the truth and take action. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. I suppose I should get onto to some of my personal traits. All fallen have a common trait. Our sings are pitch black versus the normal white. And we lose our halos. The more corruption the more demon like we appear. Of course their are some damn fine demons if they weren''t niphelms would have never been born. Oh wait that''s a taboo subject..... My hair is pitch black as well. My eyes however unlike other fallen are gold symbolizing near re-ascension. Most fallen have fangs, I don''t I look like a normal human pretty boy....but with wings....the only race that can sprout their wings and then hide them conviently are the niphelms. Ah taboo subject again.....but I seriously envy those bastereds. Ah that''s a sin..... I don''t really feel the need to describe my clothes as I will just change them tomorrow. What am I forgetting..... Ah my name...stupid... Ah no that''s not my name.....Don''t make fun of me damn it T^T. Sniff sniff...my name is Dian Angelo. Former Arch angel. And no I was not the youngest to receive that position I am by no means a genius. Most arch-angels are born as Arch angels so..... Ah I said a bad word that was bad.... Well I guess that covers all of my history. Any more details will be revealed later. Currently I was preparing to train. I knew I would never ascend and I would never descend either. It had to due with my age as a fallen. Fallen under the age of 20 can only turn into demons by devouring souls. But we could still Ascend it was just incredibly difficult because of my unique position. I decided I would train and live among the humans. It may help enlighten me. Previously that was forbidden but gods dead Lucifers dead Michele''s dead envy dead basically anybody who would give a shit is dead so to the land of humans here we go. Ah I swore again that''s bad. Chap 3 new town As most know I generally do a few chapters every other month. Not to fucking day. ______________________ I am currently in a city in the outskirts of the nation once called Chicago. It''s been a relatively long time since the war began and did not end all that long ago especially if you consider some of the angels ages. Ah wait....Chicago wasn''t a nation. The once great nation of illinews. There we go. I have entered this tattered and destroyed city. Humans lost most of their rebuilding technology after the war most of the survivors were young children or young adults by human standards. There were very few souls over 30 years of age that survived the war. I settled down in an area not to far from the current human base. My wings can''t be hidden however with magic I can make them invisible if someone bumped into my back I would have a hard time explaining. It''s not that the humans did not know of the fallen or war its just on a general scale they disliked anyone with wings. My wings are beautiful damn it. Ah that was bad. Should stop the bad word habit. My current attire was bad ass if I do say so myself. Although angels fallen and extinct demons can just make clothing appear its just reused material that we shape how we want. Humans although now have minor magic capabilities most can only use very basic magic manipulating clothe for a human takes several days just to make a slave kinda sad actually.umans end up wearing the same clothing for most of their lives and only clean and repair. They may have a few other sets to change things up but generally they don''t. Anywho lets get back to my badass attire. Currently I am wearing jet black pants a chainmail shirt and a very white long-coat with a hood. On my back stand a massive 5foot 6 inches heavy sword. In case your wondering about my wings no the don''t get crushed and yes it does help me hide my invisible wings. For those who are complaining about how the physcs to draw such a big sword from a scabbered...who said I was using a scabbered I''ll leave you to figure out the mechanics of how that works its not that amazingly complicated you just need some. Strong flexible straps and back clip that holds the sword from the hilt then unclips upon swinging it downward. Now the sleaves on my long-coat are Rolled up to the elbow and I have some arm gaurds attached. I do have some gloves on for the extra grip and yes they are fingerless when weilding a sword especially a giant ass heavy sword you need palm grip however your fingers generally have better grip then any entity made material besides instead of making such hard to make gloves with magic I can just make my fingers magnetic. Further helps with the sword grip. Remember what I said about shadows well they can take physical form they will never be demons but when a humans physical thoughts are bad the shadows manefest. The strongest shadows can make an Arch-angel run for his life. But shadows like that are rare infact it could be said that it 2or 3ave ever been recorded but they could never kill an arch angel that strength cones at the price of speed. As a result they were killed after a while. As I was walking towards the town one such minor shadow attacked me it had the form of a wolf. Shadows that take the form of animals tend to represent certain strong emotions and are not necessarily evil infact some of them can be tamed this one was wild the tamed ones never have malicious intent. Wolfs are normally symbols of familia love pride honor and rule. This seems to be a good town. Town shadows that are most prevalent on the outskirts are a good indicator of what the general populace is like. The town had a 2 feet high wall nothing impressive considering the ramains of towering buildings not that far away but impressive non the less. "Halt who are you stranger. State your name your affiliation if you have any and your purpose." "Diel Angelo no affiliation currently as for a purpose does a traveler really need one," I replied. "Angelo.... Hmm are you of the wing folk?" The guard asked unsure as humans also shared that last name couple that with the golden eyes.... "Imma half I got wings to but other then looking pretty I can''t fly human weight is just too much on the bright side my magic is stronger so it helps in a pinch if I use all my magic power and wings I can at the very least fly a few hundred meters." Normally I would not be very honest which is bad however the wolf shadow was a good sign for honorable type so I would prefer to stay honest if possible. "Your pretty honest but then halves are normally pittied due to angels and fallen always hunting them your welcome into the town but keep your wings invisible I can''t guarantee you won''t be kicked out but you don''t seem to bad. Definitely not an angel at least those bastereds are souless everything is either white or black to them. Fallen are a bit more tolerable but when their bad they are fucking bad, halves at leasthe ones of angel decent are easy to get along with though they are far rarer theb n fallen halves. Your eyes pretty much tell everything don''t get into any trouble you got it." If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "Yessir," I did a salute with a rather sarcastic grin on my face. While then jumping past him. "Cheeky brat," guard said with a smile its been a while since we got the honest type to visit the wolves have been declining halks aren''t bad though easier to deal with anyway. Good mounts too if you can get a big enough one. The guard thought with a personal monologue. Town was bussling with noise it was high noon as such it was only natural there would be business. Oh yea when God died the universe basically implodded no planets or suns where destroyed rather all the planets in existence fused and all the suns in existence fused basically if it was rock it here in-between the sun and new earth are layers of different zones the zones are made up of different gasses and land masses. Actually the new earth has half the world in darkness for 1 million years and 2illion years for full rotation humanity can''t live down there yet in order to they would need to strengthen their magic abilities very much just to withstand the gravity. Currently the lowest human colonization is in the 48 zone. Each human at that zone can hold their own against a young fallen which is what I am. I am in the 67one at the moment each zone contains life as well as these massive floatingnland fragments. Luckily earth is rather small in the whole comparison and finish breaking apart at the 21st zone. So humanity survived. Barely. Although some individuals have traveled as low as the 44zone but I believe thats the record as of the moment. In case your wondering how people get to lower zones they just fall. Upon entering a new zone you are teleported to the nearest land mass. Still haven''t figured out how that works but then I am not really that smart. Going up requires either wings or a shadow beast capable of flight hot airbloons also work but are not used unless their are no other options and fair for the airbloons is massive. Their is a colonization of half''s on the 35th zone and fallen have gone as low as the 20th that''s all the info I have atm. And as luck would have it other multiverses were not effected much which means sending this book of my life to an unaffected universe may be extremely helpful after all the only difference between. Multiverses are generally the laws that govern them if a calamity that effects one universe in its entirety happens others will follow perhaps a little latter or a little earlier on the timeline. Going into an inn called stars no more I moved towards the bar. Your strongest drink please." I asked the bar tender. "You look 15thats probably not a good idea lad" "Half" "Guard let you in?" "Yup" "Very well but your paying a bit extra not because I don''t like you but half''s sleep in hammocks and pulling one out is a pain in the ass plus your appitites are fucking huge don''t even mention a teenage boy." "Reasonable, currency system? Zone change," I stated. The norm, 100silver to 1 copper 100 copper to 1 gold And 100 gold to 1 platinum, " bartender stated. "How much?" " 50copper" "15," I countered. "45," bartender obviously didn''t want to go to low. "30 final offer their are other inns in town," I stated. "Very well profit is rather meager but 30pper a night is reasonable," he stated. " any lots for sale I will probably end up staying long term need a break from traveling," I stated. "Hmm ask Peter swallin tomorrow he is rather busy today but is free then. He works a forge but has gathered enough money to buy an estate in recent years his son already moved out and is smithing south side. Peter is interested in selling for 500 gold or 5 platinum. A forge aye that''s a good opportunity."so where can I find him," I said while pushing a copper towards him generally when a bartender beats around a bush for info he wants a few coin to remember. "Ah, yes its about two miles east on the main road take a left when you have reached the bazaar. It will be two block down." "Thanks" Well I think I should finsh my bear and head up to my room the bartender had already placed a key on the counter. Chapter 4. Awakening from my angelic slumber I quickly adjusted my clothing and set out. The walk to the Smith was actually fairly short. Going through a simple curtain draped across the entrance their wasn''t much go look at most weapons wear unbearably common with only slight traces of magic. Some of the better ones are sitting behind the counter. Speaking of counter a beautiful girl was making it. Probably the smiths daughter. She gave off a little sister feel well that and she was like 5.2. Upon seeing me she asked"So hotshot what ya here for?" She said in the most laziest uninterested tone I could think of. It kind of pssst me off. "I''m here to buy the forge is the owner here?" I asked. "Your looking at him," "..........." "You just gonna sit their and stare..." The owner said. "...I don''t believe you......" I said quietly. "Haaaaa...," the guy girl began pulling down his/her pants. My eyes bulged before passing out. That was not a him it was a futa. HOW THE FUCK DOES A FUTA EXIST. I woke with a splash of water to my head. Ugh.... " so you got 5 platinum I already packed my stuff." Futa girl said. Yea I waved my hand and the five platinum appeared. "Oh dementional magic that''s pretty rare," futa girl said showing interest for the first time. "Not really 56th floor its common knowledge so common if you ask around enough they''ll teach you free." I stated. "56th! Damn what are you 15 you must be strong," she said. "Those born on the lower lvls adapt to their zone," I replied it was neither a lie nor truth so theirfore it was beating around the bush. Not really lying and I hate lying. "Hmm what zone were you born on," Futa girl asked. "I am older then the calamity albeit slightly my angel blood is stronger them most halves because I was born on the original earth." I stated. "I see so you were born during the war," futa girl asked. I grunted. She took that for a yes apparently. "Anyway here is the platinum," I said handing over the 5 coins. "You know back then we called people like you futas they really did not even exist just a fantasy humans made up. Futas by definition are females with male parts," I stated. "Hmm that so, so basically imma girl then...but then why is my.." " I refuse to explain that," I stated. "Your kid also a futa?" I asked out of curiosity. "Only one the other two are normal." "Hmm, well since you have packed your stuff I guess this is goodbye," I stated. "My name is Dien Angelo," I said. "My names black frishden," she said. Odd name I thought. Futa girl picked up at least 6 tons of stuff with one hand and walked out the door. After seeing that I thought this girl could make it to the 60th zone if she tried. Speaking of zones humans can only transverse 35-120 atm. Any higher is to hot any lower to much gravity. Some may have gone lower then 35 but those are just a select few individuals it will take a few more generations to go any lower. I opened my own dementional pocket and began unpacking. The old forge was still their however I expanded by manipulating dementional space(can only work in closed off rooms so I had to put a proper door in first. My power was only sufficient enough to add two more rooms.I set up a bookshelf with a false back remember what I said about closed off space. Then I expanded it wasn''t big only about 10 feet by 10 feet. It was enough for an enchanting room which would help with profit. Being my age my enchanting skills are top notch. However my smithing skills can only be considered above average. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. The enchanting room only required an enchanting table and a medium as well as the circle. So it only took 10 minutes to set up the medium was pretty much anything it only needed to be somehow connected with your end goal. The second room I made for sleeping purposes. Of course their was a place to sleep before but it was a basic cot next to an open forge it would due when making weapons after all making just one weapon generally takes about 2-3 weeks. Not much considering humans of the lower floors can live up to 150-200 years actually the highest age is like 120 atm that look relatively young. Rare geniuses with magic considering the current world has not actually been around that long. The sad part with the human race is despite their newly acquired life line they still only have a 40-50 year breeding period. And that''s after they had been using magic to extend their periods the females that is. Getting into a less iffy topic, lets go with iffy, my place was finished. I set about forging great swords I don''t care about those other swords I refuse to forge anything then gaint slabs of metal called heavy swords. They are freaking awesome. A proper swing and 50 enemies of similar strength go flying. Ding-ding. I walked out front. Ah forgot to put out some weapons, I thought as a customer came in he looked a bit bewildered with a wave of my hand the walls were lined with heavy swords, archery bows(they are good for traveling in my opinion, hunting, jumping to other islands with a bow and rope rather then pay fair really useful.) Finally tower shields and great sword combo long swords just are not my thing same with shortswords great swords are the lightest weapon other then bows I am willing to use and make. Customer looked even more bewildered. "Yo," I said with a casual wave. "Um Hi where''s black," the young looking lad asked. "She retired why?" I asked. "She? Whatever do you know where she is?" The las asked. "Why?" I asked. "I need a new weapon....." "...this is a smithy and I am a Smith." I stated. "Riggghhht....." "So can you recommend me something," the lad stated he moves on with life rather quickly. "Well I only see great sword tower shield combo heavy swords, and bows. Of course they all have great enchantments however you should pick an item that seems to call out to you its a gut feeling," despite what I said about being above average my enchantments make me seem like a master. "Do you have any hunting knives," he asked Hmm I generally don''t make them often but I do see their use. "I have a few but they are rather low quality," with another wave of my hand 5 hunting knives came forward he selected two and then bought a bow,. "That all?" I asked. "Yes" "Hmm 15 gold set of medium quality arrows is included." "That''s surprisingly cheap isn''t this a high grade ice enchantment?" "Enchanting is rather easy and doesn''t actually cost any materials so I never understood why they were so expensive anyway." I stated how I honestly felt. "Alright," transaction was made and he left. Gosh being a blacksmith is fun I will never not find this enjoyable. Tomorrow I think I will set up a schooling center. I may suck in certain areas of expertise but at the very least I can teach these people the basics it sounds fun anyway being a teacher sounds fun. I can''t wait to seem them beg for mercy at this great overlord muhahahaha...ah wait that''s bad...
