Unknown location

From the skies, you could see a villa. The villa was made out of dark materials and it was quiet nearby.

No one was inside the villa, dust covered the walls and floor. But, deep inside of the villa, was a dark room.

Inside of that room was only a single bed and a male laying down on it. That male was of a natural build and completely black hair. From his facial structure, it looked like that he was not older than 20 years old.

As he was breathing calmly, without any signs of waking up, until his eyelids trembled slightly and slowly opened. His pupils were darker than the night itself and shined brighter than anything.

He slowly raised his body up and sat on the bed. While doing so, he raised his right hand in a slow pace in front of his mouth and let out a yawn.

While yawning, the door opened and a maid wearing black and white outfit came in with a glass of water.

“Master, are you finally awake?”

She asked in a soft voice.

The man glanced up at the maid, the maid was the same as usual, having white hair down to her waist and she seemed to not have aged at all, seemingly being at the age of 17 forever.

“Yes, I am up now.”

He spoke slowly in a very calm voice.

As the glass of water was extended right in front of his face, he raised his hand and took it from the maid.

After slowly drinking the glass empty, he handed the glass over to the maid.

“For how long have I been asleep now, Sher?”

He asked in a very quiet voice, but the maid; Sher heard it clearly.

Sher bowed slightly and said respectfully.

“Master, it has been a little over 13 000 years since you went to sleep.”

“I told you to stop calling me master, call me Raizel.”

Raizel retorted without thinking before he thought about what Sher said. He slowly widened his eyes before speaking again.

“I seem to have woken up before planned.”

Raizel stood up from the bed slowly and walked to the window.

He glanced out of the window with a peaceful expression. His eyes which usually held no emotion were shining and his lips curved slightly upwards.

“The world seems to be very pretty as usual.”

Raizel spoke softly to himself while Sher stood patiently behind him.

“Master, there have been only five cases during the time you were asleep that people tried to break into your home.”

Sher reported to Raizel as he was enjoying the view outside the window.

Raizel nodded slowly before calmly gazing out of the window again.

“Master.”

Sher said in a very quiet voice this time, her voice held a hint of anticipation and worry.

“Why don’t you go outside? You always stay inside, why not experience the world for yourself?”

Sher asked in a very quiet voice, almost like she was about to end up crying.

Raizel calmly turned around towards Sher, none of his expressions changed as he answered her.

“Unless it is needed, I will not go out.”

“Besides, watching from here is good enough.”

Raizel let out a very faint smile as he turned around to gaze out of the window again.

Sher's hands trembled as she bowed down respectfully once more before walking out of the room.

When she walked out of the room, tears ran down her face and her whole body trembled fiercely.

“Master, master, why???”

Sher unconsciously wobbled forward as she was calling out to Raizel in a very low voice.

Not knowing how long time passed, Sher managed to walk into the kitchen.

Her eyes were swollen and red from the tears, but she still took out ingredients and started making tea.

The leaves she used smelled heavenly which surpassed anything on earth, but Sher used it without thinking twice. She handled everything smoothly and with a refined movement. After a few minutes, all that was left was a cup of tea.

Sher held the cup and wobbled back to Raizel’s room. Even while wobbling and trembling, she managed to hold the cup of tea without making it spill. Even the surface of the tea didn’t make any movements.

She opened the door and walked inside of Raizel’s room, still seeing him gazing out of the window.

“Master, I made a cup of tea for you.”

Raizel turned around slowly and took hold of the cup.

But without knowing how, he lost strength in his body and the cup fell towards the floor.

“Master!?”

Sher woke up from her daze in a hurry and extended her aura to hold Raizel's body up and even grabbed the cup of tea without spilling anything.

As Sher stared at Raizel, she could see a line of blood spilling out of his lips.

“Master! Is there anything wrong with your body?”

Sher asked hurriedly as she swiftly raised Raizel's body.

“Thank you.”

Raizel said in a soft voice as he turned around to gaze outside of the window once again.

“Master, please tell me if there's something wrong with your body, I will do anything to help you recover!”

Raizel glanced at Sher, ignoring her. Raizel then slowly narrowed his eyes and asked worriedly.

“You still can’t control that power?”

“Master!”

Sher roared which even scared herself and Raizel.

“Please tell me what’s wrong with your body!”

Raizel let out a faint smile as he answered Sher.

“You know that I can’t get injured. You should also know why my strength is fading away without recovering.”

After he finished speaking, he extended his hand and patted Sher's head softly.

Sher trembled slightly by the touch of Raizel, her cheeks turned red and she just patiently stood there, enjoying his touch.

“Master, tell me what to do.”

Sher unconsciously spoke as she was enjoying his touch.

Raizel's stared at Sher in a very gentle way.

“All you need to do is to stay by my side, I don’t need anything else.”

Sher grumbled in a low voice as she persisted.

“What would it take for you to descend to earth again?”

Raizel's hand froze for a second before he said in a calm voice.

“Unless the world is at the point of breaking, I will not step out.”

“Hmm...”

Sher thought for a second before her eyes shined brightly.

“Master!”

“What is it, Sher?”

Raizel was slightly surprised, but he still calmly stared at Sher with a gentle smile.

“There are lots of plots and schemes going by the Gods, Nobles, Humans and the Dark Forces. They have already taken millions of lives already and it has barely begun.”

Raizel's soft gaze vanished into thin air, the atmosphere in the room slowly turned gloomy.

“Is this why I was waking up earlier than I thought?”

The shine in Raizel's eyes turned darker and his expression became more and more expressionless.

“I can see clearly the situation right now, the Gods are trying to murder a child…”

Raizel slowly narrowed his eyes.

“Have they all forgotten about my warning!?”

His quiet roar shook the air around himself and Sher, but Sher was calm, she had already guessed that Raizel would act like that.

“Master, please, let us go together and see the situation ourselves. There would be problematic if you make a wrong move.”

Sher said in a very low voice

“Me making a wrong move?”

Raizel's voice turned slightly cold.

“Murdering innocent people when I clearly told all parties to back off?!”

“Are their brains made out of dirt!?”

“Hehe... Gods, you actually ignored my warning, be prepared for my retribution...!”

As Raizel finished speaking, a line of blood ran down from his mouth and eyes.

Sher held Raizel's arms and trembled slightly. She was filled with grief seeing Raizel's bad condition, but also a little bit of happiness knowing that he will finally leave his villa which he promised to never leave.

Before digging himself deeper into the hole of anger, Raizel calmed himself down.

“Before I pay a visit to the Gods, let’s see what the Nobles says. If they didn’t want the Gods to act, they could easily stop them.”

As he was speaking he moved his finger and a portal appeared in front of him and Sher.

“Follow me, Sher.”

Sher nodded and followed behind Raizel joyfully.

As they entered the portal, they arrived in another type of large hall made of gold.

“Intruders!”

A roar could be heard from all around the castle, but before anything could be done, a soft female voice sounded out.

“Don't act, they are our most important guests.”

Raizel stood and glanced in front of him.

A female wearing golden clothes was gazing back at him.

Before he managed to open his mouth, the female said in a soft voice.

“You seem to have woken up earlier than planned, what can we the Nobles do for you?”

She bowed her head slightly towards Raizel and nodded at Sher, accepting that even Raizel's maid was at her level.

As Raizel finally came to an area with light, you could see his pale skin and the dark rings under his eyes.

“Did all of you ignore my warning back then?”

His voice which sounded calm, made everyone in the hall freeze and having cold sweat running down their back.

They all somewhat knew who that man was, he was someone who could do anything he pleases. But he had promised to stay silent for the rest of his life, that is when he ordered everyone to not massacre innocent beings.

Now that they heard that man woke up earlier than planned and actually left his own villa, clearly meant that someone broke their promise to him.

The female in golden clothes was also slightly afraid, but she knew that Raizel was a very fair man.

“We have been here silently, we do not descend to the Humans and we have been stopping the Gods from descending too. We would never go against your words.”

“Then tell me this, Marian, why have millions of innocent humans been slaughtered?”

Raizel narrowed his eyes slightly.

“That was just the usual fight between the Humans, we haven’t and never will join those battles.”

Marian answered in a soft voice.

“Huh?”

Raizel was slightly confused.

“Why are the Gods hunting some child? Wasn’t that child supposed to be a Noble too?”

Marian shook her head and answered respectfully.

“I am sorry to inform you, but that child you have been talking about doesn’t have a trace of a Noble. Even if that child has other perks, it has absolutely nothing to do with us; Nobles, therefore we will not care about those things.”

Raizel slowly frowned and thought to himself before asking.

“You're meaning that the Gods are thinking that the child is a Noble and wanting to kill it, but that child is just a mere Human?”

Raizel asked Marian slowly, but his voice also turned colder by each word.

“I would never lie in front of you.”

Marian spoke lightly, but her words were firm and she knew better than anyone than to lie when facing Raizel.

“Hehe...”

Raizel laughed in a very low voice.

“The Gods are trying to harm the Humans I’m protecting...!”

“Marian, I order you to keep watch of the Gods, I will personally descend!”

Marian's eyes trembled but she hurriedly asked.

“Lord, are you sure that you should descend? Even me seeing you like this can clearly see that you’re in a weakened state!”

“Don’t call me ‘Lord'.”

“Even in my weakened state, I would be able to defeat anyone.”

Raizel said confidently as he was making movements with his arms once again.

Not long after, a teleport was created and Raizel entered without thinking twice and Sher still followed behind him.

In the forest

When the sky turned completely dark, a flame could be seen in the deep forest.

Surrounding the flame was Aria and the rest.

Anaj, Eline and Laura were already sleeping on the ground while Aria, Kali and Peutoa were still awake. And during this time, Shin laid unconscious in Peutoa's arms.

Peutoa was staring at Shin without any expression.

Even so, Kali was cursing in a low voice.

“Why does she get to hold him?”

“She barely shows any expressions, wouldn't Shin become afraid when waking up to seeing her?”

“Let me hold Shin, it would be better for him to see my smile!”

Kali continued without any stop, Aria did, of course, ignore her.

Peutoa knew that she could barely show any expressions, but she had a feeling that Shin would still be happy seeing her when he wakes up. That feeling alone made Peutoa's heart beat slightly faster and her cheeks turned slightly pink.

“Kali.”

Aria suddenly spoke out with a calm expression.

“Hm…?”

Kali turned around towards Aria and asked.

“What is it?”

Aria shook her head twice before speaking her mind.

“Why do I feel like that nothing is making sense?”

Kali narrowed her eyes slightly.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t tell me that you haven’t noticed?”

Aria said in a low voice before her eyes shined coldly.

“I feel like there’s more to this than we know.”

“What Gods and what Mystical Beings? Nothing of these are making sense and it just feels it’s just a forced plot…!”

Before Kali managed to speak her mind, another voice came sounded out in the area.

“That is because your child isn’t a Noble.”

Aria, Kali and Peutoa hurriedly turned towards where they heard the voice.

They saw a male in a white suit with dark hair and completely black eyes. Following behind him was a maid with white hair.

“Who are you!?”

Kali asked in a deep voice and held her right hand out and gripped the air where her scythe suddenly appeared.

The maid behind the man was about rush forward before the man stopped her by raising his left hand.

“My name is Raizel Ve Vizania.”

“I’m not a God nor a Noble, you don’t have to worry about me fighting for these matters.”

“Nobles?”

Both Kali and Aria were somewhat confused over the term ‘Noble’ and spoke their minds out at the same time.

“Oho…”

Raizel nodded slowly before explaining.

“You should have heard about the existence above the Gods, I’m not sure what you call them, but their true name is; Nobles.”

“Those Mystical Beings the Gods spoke about?!”

Kali asked for confirmation.

“That should be them.”

Raizel nodded once more.

“You might want to know why I’m here?”

By this time, the rest woke up silently. But they didn’t make a move as they saw that Kali nor Aria attacked the man and the maid.

Before he could hear them accept his explanation, he opened his mouth and spoke fluently.

“Those Gods thought that child was a Noble and wanted to kill him before he could grow up. But sadly enough, your child isn’t a Noble. I asked the Queen of Nobles about this and I now have personally confirmed it too.”

Kali trembled slightly, her eyes turned golden and she asked in a deep voice.

“Then why are they trying to kill Shin!?”

The veins on her fist seemed to burst open of the mere force she was applying to the scythe she was holding.

“I’m very sorry for this had to happen to your family.”

Raizel slowly bowed his head to them.

Sher behind him was widening her eyes in surprise.

“Hehe…”

Raizel let out a cold laugh before speaking in a low voice to himself.

“I have done everything I could to promise the innocent a safe world, but seems like I can’t do anything unless I personally go out.”

Even with his low whisper, everyone nearby could hear his voice clearly.

As no one made a single movement, the atmosphere around the group turned eerie.

That was before suddenly before an aura strike rushed towards Raizel.

Everyone widened their eyes at the strike, but Raizel just slowly raised his hand and blocked the strike.

In front of Raizel stood the unconscious Shin. His eyes were still closed, but he was making a pose of wanting to attack.

“What rudeness!”

Sher hollered with her eyes bloodshot.

“Why do you want to attack me…?”

Raizel asked in a confused voice.

Shin slowly regained his consciousness and his eyelids opened. He had no idea where he was nor about who the two people in front of him were, but he had a feeling…

“Shin, what are you doing?”

Aria asked hurriedly before she held her katana.

“I don’t know.”

Shin replied in a confused tone, but his expression still remained rough as he stared at Raizel.

“But don’t you dare come close to my family!”

“Huh…”

Raizel tilted his head slightly before asking.

“What have you found out about me which is so repulsive?”

“Your whole existence!”

Shin narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

“I don’t know why, but this feeling I’m having now is urging me to rip you apart!”

Raizel’s face distorted before he quickly turned around and grabbed Sher’s hand and summoned a portal with his other hand before quickly escaping into it.

Raizel and Sher finally appeared in their villa. Raizel was breathing heavily with sweat running down his face.

“What was that about, Master?”

Sher worriedly glanced at Raizel who seemed to have gone through a battle where he barely managed to get out alive.

“That child is not a mere human…!”

Raizel’s expression slowly turned calm after he got away from Shin.

“That child is a future Warmonger!”

Even after being slightly calm, his voice seemed to tremble and shake whenever he thought of the word; Warmonger.
