《The Life of an Undercover Conqueror at Specialized High School》Chapter 1 - A Fresh New Start and Revelation of The Past

16th April 2215 AD
The day of our Specialized Highschool begins. You may be wondering what is the use of Specialized Highschool in this day and age.
Isn’t it just a waste of government money?
Nah, this world, that you know of start to change because of one thing. And that one thing became the doom of our existence on this world.
6th June 2096 AD
Just because we humans pursue something that we shouldn't have, we humans seek the knowledge of the Gods. After so much year have past, finally our resources was starting to run out. Due to this we humans conducted a research to obtain an unextinguishable resource of energy. A Philosopher's Stone it is known throughout the history that the alchemist final goal is to this hidden ‘Gem’, but despite how many times they've tried, they failed.
It wasn't because they're foolish or even outrageous.
They just incorporated the wrong concept of thinking.
The Philosopher’s Stone that they pursued of is not an Artifact, but rather it is an Organism. This so called Organism unlocks the true potential of Living Being. At first the creature infected will rapidly evolve, then when they become so specialized the evolution progress would come to a halt.
They evolve into an entirely new species.
Nah, scrap that, their appearance became entirely different.
Have you seen a lab rat?
Now have you seen a lab rat with eerily glowing eyes, a set of razor-sharp teeth and claws, and now add a third creepy eye at its forehead?
That rat was the final survivor of the Genesis Lab third division.
Where is the other rats?
They all become the fuel for its evolution.
In order for the rat to evolve it need to devour something of equal standing. The more it devours the more specialized and stronger it becomes. With further research it is determined something of equal standing mean: same starting species, other being with equal strength or higher.
At this point the researcher didn't even notice about 'what have they done', but they fear the creature will escape and ruin the world environment. So, they move the experiment to an isolated island and start to conduct a rather crazy experiment.
Yep, you guess it.
They released the rat there along with the Organism a.k.a. the Philosopher’s Stone. They sent a team of explorers (including a researcher) there every month, to document the result of the experiment to the head of the Genesis Lab. The first month's observatory report is in fact very interesting. They've found out that the Organism start to duplicating itself, and it doesn't even consume resources and energy like any other being. It totally disregarded and violated the rule of physics and even you can say that all other law that bind a Living Being altogether. And it tends to gather around an area that have a really high electromagnetic wave noise. Fortunately for the researcher this kind of area is scarce, at the isolated island they only found one spot that have a relatively high electromagnetic noise. They also found out that within this island due to the Organism become so abundant, the dead creature that had been infected by the Organism started to spawn there. It truly was a miracle.

They continued to research it behaviour, till on one fateful day.
Exactly at the 6th exploration, the team didn't return. It provoked an utter confusion at the Genesis Lab, not only there's no sign of them returning, but also there's no telling about what will they explain to their family.
Finally, the Head of the lab Leonhart Bloke decided to go there personally with many other head researchers and of course they contacted the military for help as well. This is not bizarre at all because the fund of the research comes mainly from military, so it was only natural for the military to know about what happen at the island and many other top-secret events here at the Genesis Lab.
When they arrived at the island, all the occupants of the island, you could say the island 'itself' has turned into some sort of demonic realm.
The entirety of the island covered with Organism.
Every Living Being at the islands now has turned into another being never seen before.
They Evolved.
Or more appropriately they, the Living Being can now properly called the Evolved or the Demon.
The one who hold knowledge of this event called them the Evolved.
And for the rest who don't, they're just the same heartless Demon, the one who devour the world.
Back to the researcher.
The sight makes them lost all of their color.
The sound that 'they' make, ache their soul.
And the guilt that they shoulder, fall upon them.
When their soul came back to the real world.
The military is busy fighting them, at first the military's navy are winning against them, however each time an individual die. Their genes just got reshuffled in the spawning area until they found the right gene to defend them from the bullets. Then after six waves, each was lasting approximately 10 hours, their skin became bullet-proof, some absorb the bullet, and other just flatly deflecting it.
The researchers were astonished at this shocking turn of event. Maybe when they got some time up their sleeve, they can tell about 'what is going on here'. But of course, they don't. They're just some human who want to screw with the very law of the universe.
The very law that the Gods himself establish.
The more the navy fought back, the more they got pushed off. The Evolved became so strong, and as the navy stocks of ammo depleted, at this instance the Admiral gave out his command.
"Everybody who still wants to be alive, goes back to the ship. At this point there is no use for us fighting this Demon anymore. We're just making them stronger by the hour. I'll repeat once again, go back to the goddamn ship you slowpoke!!!" (Admiral Schröder)

The researcher and the head of the Genesis Lab Leonhart Bloke all of them had the eyes of a dead fish. Their eyes could be described as lackluster, as if the body were just empty vessel. They're just sitting there on the deck, couldn't accomplish anything to change this unprecedented event. There is a saying in this world for instance, "Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.".
But what if no one has made their kind of mistake?
How in the world did they solve the situation?
It was the day of school entrance ceremony, but it was still too early in the morning. In fact, it is 2 hours before the ceremony start.
The freshmen whose heart was filled with anticipation of the future could be counted with just one hand. However there appeared to be many upperclassmen, who was busy with the rehearsals. Aside from that what are these 2 freshmen doing at this hour, unless they have something to do with the rehearsals.
A male student that look as if he is from a painting, stand still as if he is waiting for the next order, and busy thinking as if the world is waiting for his answer. And a female student with a unique blond-gold hair, her hair maybe as beautiful as Rapunzel from the fairytale, she can't stop looking at the male student as if she is frightened of losing him. And after a not really short silent, the female student couldn't stop herself anymore, she crashed the train of thought of the male student.
"Hey, Igrum nii-sama could you please stop reading about 'that' again? You really make me worried, you know..."
(How? Does my indifferent face actually show some difference in her eyes?)
"It is nothing really. Quinn, in fact I'm just thinking about how should we celebrate you becoming the freshmen representative."
"W-W-what are you talking about Ni-Nii-sama. But isn't it you who should be under the spotlight Nii-sama? Aren't you the one who attained the highest written score? In fact, if 'they' permit you to use your..."
It was a scene in which the female student start blushing angrily, and not a moment later were blatantly mad. And she appeared to call the male student 'Nii-sama', we can probably presume they are siblings.
But even if they are siblings.
Then they are siblings who don't resemble each other at all.
"Quinn, stop. What happen in the past just let it stay in the past as well. I genuinely want to appreciate the life of a normal highschooler with you, and that is the sole reason that matter. However, Quinn this and that are different. The school is emphasing more on practical exam, so there's nothing we can do, is there?"
"Y-yeah b-but still, I can't accept it!"
"Well in that case, I am sorry, having this good for nothing elder brother would be..."
"Nii-sama is not a good for nothing elder brother!! In fact, this very being is here just because of you alone."
(Now, what should I do to fix her mood?)
He tosses his hand on her silky blond-gold hair, and start to ruffle them in a gentle manner.
At that moment the girl seems to start calming down a little bit.
She regains her composure, a little more.
"You see Quinn. The truth is, I am very overjoyed, because every time you were angry for real, it will always be for me. And that action really reminds me every time, about something that I lack that everybody else have. I want to thank you for that Quinn."
" Igrum nii-sama, I know you would do the exact same thing as I did, because whenever you were truly furious, it will always be for Quinn's sake."
They continue enjoying each other company, until approximately 30 minutes have passed.
"Quinn, isn't it time for you to go to the auditorium for the rehearsals? Quinn, I can't wait to see you up there."
"Yes, Nii-sama. Please take care when I'm gone. Aren't Nii-sama's indifferent ways always anger some people? Please don't get into trouble."
"So even Quinn start to consider me as an invalid now."
"Of course not, see you later Nii-sama."
"Yeah, see you later."
After this too sweet of a farewell that made other onlookers jealous. The sister started to rise onto her delicate feet, then once again smiled to her Nii-sama. And in return he only can smile with a wryly manner. After his sister was gone, he was thinking about 'what should I do to kill some time'. Then he started wandering around the school in an apathetic way, as he always does.

Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time.

The Storm started six months ago, and no one knows where it came from. All they know is it hasn't stopped for a single day, and you better follow the one rule: Don't go out in the rain. Hiding in the broken building of her old high-school, seventeen-year-old Marylou is one of the few to have survived this far. She doesn't believe in the Ghosts -- shapeless creatures said to roam under the rain outside -- but, to be fair, she doesn't really believe in anything except booze and the unconditioned love of her ball python snake, Evil Noodle. Chance brings Marylou together with Amy, a mysterious girl with an even more mysterious past, and Dean and Ray, two young men running what they call 'the last pizza place in California'. As the Storm rages on stronger by the day, the foursome will have to make a choice: keep hiding under roof after roof, waiting for starvation, or set out to the road and face whatever hides out there, under the Storm.
