In the world of Aurora, three separate planes of existence make up this world, each overlapping but never touching. There is the Mortal World where most humanoid beings and those categorized as monsters live. This world is usually at peace, but wars happen every so often between monster and humanoids.

The next world is known as the upper world or to the humanoid population, Heaven. Here mystical beings that have transcended the boundaries of the mortal world live.

One the other side, there is the underworld. As you might have guessed this place is home to demons and devils of all kinds, most are non-sentient.

The upper and under worlds each have a single ruler of the whole realm. For the upper it is the highest ranked god, Thaddeus the God of Conquest and War. Unlike his title suggests, he isn't hot blooded or arrogant. He is a cold and extremely smart man who has held the positions of highest god for 2000 years.

In the underworld, the leader is the Demon Lord Lucifer.

He is not like the fantasies humans have. He holds no interest in invading the Mortal world. Those stories appeared because of the powerful exiled demons that are thrown out of the underworld.

In the three realms there exist only 2 exits in each greater realm into the Mortal World. These are the last of their kind and are only used to exile a demon or godly being to the world.

Our story starts in the underworld.

Every 20 years the demons enter a state of heat and mate, they can mate without this but it will still happen every 20 years for all demons and while in this state of heat there is a more successful chance to bear a child than normal. At the moment this has passed and the wife of the current demon lord is about to give birth.

There is great anticipation because those born on this year are known to be some of the strongest. The Demon lord is waiting with his 5 other children.

They talk little since they are anxious to see. After many hour the child is finally born. The witch that birthed the child appears covered in sweat and with a worried face.

Lucifer: What is with that look?!

Witch: You should see it yourself my lord.

She gestures in and moves out of the way for the large royal demon. He rushes in and finds his wife, a beautiful woman with pale skin and long flowing black hair.

Lucifer: Where is the child, Lia.

She looks next to her at a small bundle.

Lia: He is there.

Lucifer looked towards the bundle he noticed it was small, very small even for a baby. His first son had been a healthy royal demon that was born larger than the demon lords hand when he took his demon form. The demon lord being a staggering 3 meters tall with pale red, skin ripped muscles and large demon horns which held his vast storage of mana inside. This baby, on the other hand, was as small as his hand in his human form.

As he picked it up he opened the bundle. What he saw made his heart sink. In the bundle was a very tiny baby with skinny limbs with deep red skin, a short tail and tiny horns. It was the lowest demon in the whole underworld, an imp.

Lucifer: What is the meaning of this, why was a low tier demon born.

Lia: I don’t know but I feel magic coming from him.

Lucifer: I do as well but it isn’t his own. Markel!!

The witch suddenly appeared through the door.

Markel: Yes my lord?

Lucifer: Bring a lich and a status orb here we need to check this child.

Markel: I will fetch them my lord.

The old witch bowed deeply and scurried off.

Half an hour later the door opened again. Markel appeared holding a large clear orb and behind her an old walking skeleton in black robes holding a large staff with a black gem at its tip came in as well.

Markel: As you have asked my lord here is the status orb and general Vil'cri.

Lucifer: Good, you are dismissed.

The witch bows once more and leaves. Once gone the demon lords eyes moved from his child to the lich.

Lucifer: Vil'cri I want to see if there are any curses on this child.

Vil'cri: As you wish my lord.

The Lich moved to the sleeping baby and placed his hand on it which soon started glowing red. For a long five minutes he continued which chanting something in a strange language. When he stopped, the flames in his eyes grew bright.

Vil'cri: I can’t believe it!

Lia: What is it general?

Vil'cri: He was cursed yes. From the moment he began growing in the queen he had a curse from the God of Evolution placed on him. It turned him back to an imp as your ancestors once were my lord. No I am wrong he is worse than an imp it’s a lesser imp.

Lucifer: A lesser imp how is such a thing possible!?

Vil'cri: It is possible my lord. A lesser being is only born from mating. For an imp that holds royal blood he is as smart as a higher demon but weaker than a human child. They also appear within the spawning pools but they soon grow into normal imps before they rise out of it.

Lucifer: You're joking with me Vil'crI. he is below an imp!

Vir'cri: Unfortunately so my lord but that can change fast when he ranks up. As an imp he much potential and having royal blood which hasn't evolved in generations he can grow quite powerful but he will be weak in comparison to his brothers for a long time.

Lucifer: I never lived as an imp; I was born a higher demon and became a royal after years of training. How does an imp grow?

Vir'cri: By hunting like any other.

Lucifer grinded his teeth together as he stared with rage at the baby the he grabbed the status orb and walked over.

Lucifer: Show me his status.

The lich bowed and took the orb before holding it over the child. He began chanting a bit again and soon the orb began glowing before it subside and over it a screen appeared

Lucifer: This is pathetic. If this thing is discovered the others it would cause a rift in the order and others might try their luck at my position thinking I can’t even give make a proper prince. He will be exiled immediately before others find out.

Lia: Where in the human world will he be sent?

Lucifer: It will be random as it has always been. Vil'crI I trust you to gather only trustworthy lich and mages to perform the exile ceremony.

The lich bows and walks off taking the baby.

Later that same day deep in the dungeon under the demon lord’s castle the ceremony was held. 12 of the best Lich or Dark mages were brought and the humongous magic circle was activated using mana from the demon lord himself.

The baby was placed at the center with no cloths or even rags to keep it warm. Soon the circle started glowing and rising. It was a large circle about 15 meter diameter with 12 circles on the outer layer for the mages and 6 inner magic circles which rotated within the great one. As the ceremony reached its peak a river of light floored upwards. The baby soon began to float and finally turned into light as he was teleported forever leaving the underworld.

In the great capital city Hanosa of the Relona Kingdom. The great Cathedral of the Goddess of light was about to witness a great event. From the normal busy streets of the city, great numbers of native people, as well as those known as foreigners, people who appear and disappear like ghosts, were walking around when it happened.

Over the cathedral two great magic circles appeared. Magic circles are considered ancient lost magic so seeing some are considered rare.

The one above was a light blue warm color while the one below was a dark red which caused fear.

Inside the Cathedral the pope himself was praying to his goddess when a voice appeared in his head.

Valeria: My young pope it’s urgent that you move at once, call all your bishops and clear all priests, priestesses and foreigners from the cathedral.

Pope: My goddess what is happening?!

Valeria: I will tell you later, but now you just need to know this, the god of evolution has cursed a newborn demon and a god. Both are in their weakest forms possible and they are being teleported inside the cathedral at the moment. You need to pick them up while preventing any foreigners from seeing them.

Pope: I understand my goddess I will go at once.

What looked like a frail old man praying at the altar in his bed chamber stood with great vigor and ran out of his room with even great speed not matching his age.

As the pope entered the main area of the cathedral where the sermons happen two series of magic circles appear at the front. The people in the room are mesmerized but the pope doesn't let that continue.

Pope: Everyone is to leave RIGHT NOW!

His loud voice startled everyone but what followed made everyone that saw the frail old man know exactly why he was the pope. Exerting killing intent that seemed to cause the area around him to blur, the mana of the old man spread all over the room and caused everyone but the priests and paladins to flee. The men were in shock, the normally calm pope who has only ever exerted his pressure when he fought high leveled demons did the same to normal people.

Pope: All foreigners are to leave this moment. Even if you're affiliated with the church of light, only the bishops are to remain and only non-foreigner ones at that. Knights please lead them out also keep the foreigners outside from coming in. If they try to force their way in tell them they will be considered enemies of the church.

Not wanting to upset the pope, who seemed to be stressed, they quickly cleared the place of lower priests and foreigners leaving only 5 other men besides the pope.

Bishop: Your grace what is going on?!

Pope: I don’t know, all I know is our goddess wishes for us to hide whatever appears from these teleportation spells.

The five men gaze intensely as the group of magic circles starts lighting up. Suddenly two small flashes of light happen the circle, one from each. In between each circle were two tiny babies. The one on the left was a tiny red skinned demon baby while on the right was a black haired and black winged angel.

They both slowly floated down and rested on the altar one next to the other.

Pope: T-these are children.

Bishop 2: No wonder our goddess wished for us to care for them.

Bishop 3: And what about the demon child? Wouldn't we normally hunt and kill demons?

Pope: We only hunt the demons that cause trouble. You would be surprised to know that there exist demon cities in this world.

Hearing something from the pope himself and yet no order to destroy the cities left all bishops flabbergasted.

Pope: I will tell you this. Not all demons are evil. There are many who are exiled from the underworld because of they were betrayed or they found out something they shouldn't have. These are peace full demons which I send a special unit to find and rescue these demons. The ones we hunt are ones who try their luck at killing the demon lord in the underworld and are exiled to ours.

Bishop 1: Why don’t they kill them there.

Pope: Because exile is worse than death. You are placed in a world not your own and are forced to adapt. Those who become or remain peaceful will find peace here as well but not aggressive ones. Anyway we shall continue later. Our goddess will explain what is to happen to these two and not a single soul besides the six of us and our goddess is to know what they are and if they are alive.

The five bow deeply at the pressure infused order given by the pope. The pope soon leaves with the two children while the bishops remain to confront the priests and foreigners.

When they leave the cathedral they're bombarded with questions from the foreigners. All they say is that by order of or goddess we cannot speak of this. Those who try to bribe or sneak in to find out what happened will be considered enemies of the church.

This clears everyone our quick for they fear having the wrath of one of the great churches after them. Though the news of the event spread like wildfires few people actually went after to know what it was. Specifically people with high fame or high familiarity with the church but they were all bluntly turned down.

In the farthest room in the back on the top floor of the five floor cathedral the pope and the five bishops were gathered with the two young babies in small bundles laying on the lap of the pope and the first bishop.

As the waited the room started to fill with light even though it had become night a while ago. As the room grew bright as day the six humans felt the presence of a greater being. And out of nowhere a young beautiful woman appeared. She had long blond hair, stood almost two meters tall with bright silver eyes and wearing a long night blue dress.

The six men instantly know who it was and all them stood and deeply bowed.

Pope: It is an honor to meet our great goddess in person.

Valeria: Please stand Michel you need not bow so deeply. You might drop the young child in your arms.

Michel: Yes you’re right. Please my goddess sit.

She smiled and took his offer and sat on one of the open chair and with a nod the others also sat.

Valeria: Ok I think I should explain what happened.

All the men had a wary look on their faces which showed their fear of the situation.

Valeria: Don't worry it will not cause some apocalypse or anything. What happened is that the God of Evolution woke up from his slumber. The first moments when he wakes up he instinctively curses a few unborn children. This caused them to return to their base form after becoming a sentient being; a few beings in this world were affected as well. For the demon, he is the son of the underworlds Demon lord whose family originated from imps. At the moment he is a lesser imp but thanks to his royal blood he still possesses intelligence equal to that of a newborn high tier demon. As for that young Angel she is the daughter of the strongest greater god Thadeus the God of Conquest and War. Her family originated from fallen angels who were able to regain their place in the upper world after becoming powerful enough to kill another god and take its divinity.

The information of the lineage of the two babies clearly leaves every one of them in shock.

Valeria: At this moment that little fallen angel is at her weakest because angels are another form of Demi-God. They need a patron god to give a bit of power to them but she will have to grow her own power. As for the young imp he will need to take the path of evolution or rank up to gain the power he truly deserves as a demon prince.

Michel: Um my goddess I know this might be rude but how can we help the children are of divine nature being from the greater worlds.

She smiled when he considered both world’s greater worlds and even the young imp as divinity; it clearly showed the popes wisdom about the worlds.

Valeria: Both of them need training in magic, in combat and in life. I will cast a spell on them which will hide their appearance and make them look like regular kids. Once they are old enough introduce them as orphans that the church chooses to train.

The men smiled, it was well known that their church took many kids off the streets and trained and taught them to serve the goddess to their best. If they did these them it wouldn't be strange to see the new children.

Valeria: Be warned though, only people I see fit are allowed to know about them. I will tell you, Michel who they are so they can later be friends and companions of the children after they go adventure and train more. I also want them to be in the church's subjection missions for all rogue demons and angels. If they eat a being from a similar world or the opposite world it greatly improves them.

Michel: We will do that but only after we are sure they won’t die. Also don’t imps grow fast as a survive method.

Valeria: Only imps born the normal way through the spawn pools. This one was born from a real mother and also the curse makes his and the young angle grows at a humans speed if they don’t rank up. I suspect he will only be a lesser imp for a few months until he grows to about the size of a 1 year old human child. The same for the lesser fallen angel. I guess that is all then.

Bishop 1: Wait well about their names and your blessing.

Valeria: Yes I almost forgot...

She tilted her head while thinking then smiled after a bit before picking up the imp baby.

Valeria: This one will be known as Baal.

She then kisses his forehead. In front of everyone the red skinned baby turned into a peach pink, his small tail and the small horns vanished as well and finally a bit of hair appeared on his head. Valeria returned Baal to Michel and picked up the little angel.

Valeria: And this little one will be Lilian

Like Baal she kissed her forehead but the change was less. For her the small black wings got smaller until they didn't exist anymore leaving a small human girl.

Valeria: I used a god level light illusion spell on them. Even if a god sees or feels something strange from them they will think they are just unique humans. Hmm as for someone to raise them, the high priestess candidate Stephanie she is quite a trustworthy young girl that cares for her family. She would make a good caretaker.

Michel: Is it alright, she is a candidate for high priestess if she takes care of these two she won't have much time for her normal work.

Valeria: Relieve her of some of her work. I can trust her with them so give her the early morning and night. This will give her time to also teach basics to them before they are brought to the church. She can be trusted with the secret as well.

With a wary smile Michel bowed which made the goddess smile. She took a glance at the young angel and devil and her body started to turn into light before it was gone. Soon the bright light also dimmed into the night. There was a smile on pope and all the bishops’ faces when they looked at the little babies.

Michel: Call Stephanie and tell her what she needs also relieve her of a few of her jobs so she can care for them in the early morning, noon and at night. If she needs a bit of help ask another priestess but they will stay in the dark.

The five Bishops bowed and walked off leaving the babies in the room with the pope who picked them both up smiling.

Michel: Baal and Lilian. Even if there is no catastrophe I'm sure you two will change the world.
