What really special regarding this group is regarding they aren¡¯t really normal actually. They are what most people in this modern world will call as esper. And this also include Raem, as he is an esper have a high exceptional infinity with darkness, which can be said that he can control darkness by any mean whatsoever. But what really differentiate him with his groupie is that, he isn¡¯t tempt to use it for bad things, to be more specific, he rarely use his abilities during his live, well.. he does use it during the examination¡­to cheat of course, well most people will do that right? right? So during his live, he have a good family, a caring family that have train him to be much discipline in his live, for his mother is a teacher while his father was an MP (Military Police), meaning that every bad things that he done will need to be answer by a strict punishment by his family. But every good things must end. and his end begin by helping a pregnant woman, this pregnant woman was stab by a man for an unknown reason and our MC which is Raem isn¡¯t a man that was going to think first then act, he quickly fled to help that woman. but he found it to no avail, as that woman life force was quickly deplete, he then thought of something. Without further ado, he ask that woman- ¡°would you sacrifice yourself for your children?¡± He made a serious face while asking this, for Raem have been teach by his parent to always remain focus in his live. That woman, she began to smile. And that smile, it was- a smile that only a mother could made. a smile that could made a heart brighten by seeing it a smile that can never be seen again by that children. quietly she said- ¡°boy, I will sacrifice everything for her, for she is my life, my soul and everything that I own is hers and that including my life¡± Raem POV ¡°it was sad, such thing to happen to this woman. But that smile.. it gave me a hope that one day, this child will be strong as hers mothers is.¡± without wasting more time, Raem began to inject a portion of his darkness into that woman pregnant womb, that darkness work as a shield to protect that baby and at the same time, Raem limit the number of the darkness to be inject into that woman body as he afraid it will give that baby the power to become something else. The power to become an esper, the same kind as him. a few minute past and the situation have started to become dangerous to him. because of that he became panic, as he seen the life force of both the baby and the mother are depleting at a fast pace. then it came. that decision. without saying anything to the pale mother, he began to inject the darkness into the mothers hear and at the same time, he use his own life force to be exchange with the mother. this means that the mother won¡¯t die. But he will. even though he know that he was going to die, there was none discontent face to be seen. The only face that he currently made are a face which are full of success and at the same time are perfectly calm. He then said- ¡°my family will understand this decision that I have made. For this is my will and my dedication to this young one.¡± with that, he create a bird form his darkness and send them to his family. By the time that woman open her eyes, the pain have already recessed but then she sees a man. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.a young man which not more than 18-19 years old with a black long hair beside him. hastily, she recognize this men as his saviour, but it is weird. That man face is pale. that woman tried to wake him up, but to no avail she fail. Then quickly she called the ambulance. but it was the same result. That man already die. die from saving this woman. Die for a good cause. But then he open his eyes. ¡°wha.., what just happen.¡± ¡°i..i supposed to die¡­no, I know that I already die, so what is this?¡± He ponder. what does this supposed to be? but then this situation was cut by the sound of a crying woman. ¡°what? Who could that be?¡± ¡°damn!¡± as he cursing, quickly he use his darkness to made his feet move faster, that darkness quickly envelope his feet as a kind of boots, which made him faster. then he sees it. a woman. much precise is a demon woman or a woman demon or a succubus. this succubus was currently being attack by a group of human wearing a full body armour with the sign of Sun engrave in their chest. without saying anything he quickly teleport to be in front of that woman. Red Paladin POV ¡°wha.. what is this fool doing in front of this demon¡± ¡°FOOL!, GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL BE FORCE TO USE EXTREME MEASURE AGAINTS YOU!¡± quickly that young man retort to me while saying- ¡°Please stop this, couldn¡¯t you see that she is hurt!¡± with a loud voice I shout to him ¡°FOOLS!¡± Raem POV ¡°what¡¯s with this group of people!¡± as I said that, a large amount of fireball was throw to me, quickly is use my power to create a large dome, which act as shield. But that wasn¡¯t all, after throwing a large number of fireball, few of this knight began chanting something like ¡°o¡¯ holy mother of light, versenicuse, grant us your sword of justice!¡± with that each of them began to cut down my dome of shield that I had just newly created. ¡°dumb tin man¡± I quickly teleport myself and that woman to be at the sky. seeing the dome was quickly being destroy, I made a mental note for next time to create a better dome which can stand this kind of attack at first place. Then I created a much bigger dome which contain all that knight, the moment they notice this it was already too late. what special about this dome, is that it was created layered by layer which number upon 99 layered of shield, thin but dense enough to manage my counter attack upon them. within that dome, I unleash my most powerful attack, the ¡°Exterminatus¡± Taken from my most favourite game that I use to play with *ehem Within that dome, a large number of darkness fall upon them, inflicting them with pain and death. a loud voice can be heard, until it became silence, and with that I already knew that I has all end. and then I use my teleportation skills again to arrive at the dome again. After that, I defuse my dome and began to fix the damage that I done, for darkness is life and death. that demoness, was quite surprise with what that I have done. then I face her, smile and said to her- ¡°Hi?¡± that demoness was still dumbfound with what that I have done. Well she might have never be treat nice before ¡°my name is Nox, how about you?¡± Nox, hehehe, always want to use this name. -End of Chapter 1 Chapter 2: Him Chapter 2 Stella POV:- Human. I despise their kind, they are a race which are ignorant to this world. They are the very reason that have started the Interminium, this world or plane which we called as Metalifica has always been at peace, with the force of light and darkness always stabilize without forcing each other into their respective realm. But on the 537 years of Yggdrasil, the human, because of their greed. Their greed have force them to enter the realm which reside the force of light and corrupted the force of the light that reside in that realm, this by any mean have started the first series of the fallen light god. Not even the all-father of the light realm, Obedinzza manage to fight that fate, for him who was always been in a good relationship with the his brother, the father of the night realm, Methusaleth. this advent have change him. Into a monstrosity, a much worse monstrosity from the dark realm. But not all gods of the light realm have turn into a fallen, those who doesn¡¯t have already run away or turn into creating their own realm within the many realm that reside in this world. But the human, they doesn¡¯t know anything about this. they have stay ignorant of what they have done but it was differ to us since we the demon kind have always be near to our god for we are created from their own flesh and blood. For we still hold the connection that was bear by the first demon, Lucifer, the kings of all demon kind. And yet, they still ignorant, the fallen gods then order a crusade against all race beside human, and from that this world of Metalifica was force into the path of carnage. With the power of their god, they have plunder and enslave many of races. Much have become extinct such as the Warewolf and the Naratus, a strange bug like race that once work as the enforcer of the wood realm with the elves. Our gods with their much force finally gather their entire night kin and attack the force of fallen. With that attack they finally manage to seal Obedinzza but not without any sacrifice. To seal Obedizza, our gods, Methusaleth create a seal y using his very own body together with Obedinzza. That seal in return was shattered in 2 pieces and was divided between the gods of the wood realm Amarak and our night-kin gods. by doing that we finally manage to stop the attempt of the fallen to plunge this world into utterly destruction. we thought we have won and that prove how shallow we thing about as we forgotten about the light realm servant which was corrupted to become a fallen angel and seraphim. After their master have been seal, they quickly took over the place of their old master and once again started to plunge the world into chaos. Our gods weary after the fought have decided to retreat to their realm for they have weaken so much because of the fight, many races then have united to fight with the human kind to stop their action from becoming worsen. 500 years have quickly passed as the human empire have grown much bigger with the enslavery of the each races. and now. we gain an information regarding one of the seal. the part of the seal that we hold in our temple was stole away by the crusade of the human. During that crusade, the human attack our temple and slain our head priest which is the keeper of the seal, by god willing our scout manage to track them back but not without any sacrifice.
