《Monarch of the Darkness》C.4 Arte
Advertisement
Hayden was amazed, despite being confused after hearing about his complicated circumstance, Fay could still control herself and thought composedly. Furthermore, she also accepted it and acted warmly, trying not to make her brother worried.
Warmth filled Hayden's eyes. He felt grateful to have a caring and loving sister like this. "From now on, you are my dear sister. Thank you for trying to understand the complicated situation that I am in right now." Hayden said softly while caressing her forehead.
Fay smiled sweetly after hearing what Hayden said and told him not to be worried. A couple of minutes later, both of them started to let loose their hug. Without wasting too much time, Fay enveloped Hayden and Estelle with her Arte as they soon disappeared and reappeared near the courtyard.
Hayden was startled. He wanted to ask something, but Fay ignored him while she ordered Estelle to make them some tea, after that she pulled Hayden and asked him to sit beside her.
"Brother, how are you feeling right now?" Fay asked worriedly.
Hayden smiled while saying, "I'm good, don't worry about me. Oh, by the way, let me call you little Fay okay?" Hayden asked earnestly.
Fay smiled and nodded. "Please, I would be happy."
Shortly afterward, Estelle came and served both of them some tea.
After Hayden thanked her, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Fay just now. Hayden glanced at Fay while asking, "little Fay, what did you use just now? How come we suddenly disappeared and reappeared here? What is that power?" asked Hayden while sipping his tea.
"Brother, It was one of my Arte skill called Wind Movement. I can travel really fast with this skill. Besides, it was one of my innate skills, which is unique to me. " Explained Fay cutely.

"There are many kinds of Arte in this world. Every person has their own element of Arte, some of them even have more than one Arte in their body. It can be explained as a way of understanding and manipulating the forces of the universe. The deeper the understanding, the more powerful the user will be."
Hayden was hearing her explanation seriously. His interest peaked when she mentioned Arte. He thought that it was quite similar to cultivation.
"Brother, try to concentrate and sense your inner body. Arte usually located in a person's abdomen," asked Fay while touching Hayden's abdomen, trying to guide him.
Hayden nodded and started to close his eyes, he was trying to sense the location of his Arte.
After some attempt, Hayden finally found the location of his Arte. It was located in the inner center of his abdomen. His Arte has the shape of a venus-star like crystal with a thick black layer covering the outer shell. After knowing this, he was wondering what kinds of power did his Arte contain.
Hayden stood up and went straight to a big stone. He tried to condense and release the power of his Arte from his right hand. At first, it wasn't quite successful, but after some time, an explosion occurred and a hole appeared in the middle of the stone. One can see that the power of darkness still lingering around the crater after it penetrated the center.
"So that's my power. It was the power of darkness, not bad." Hayden smiled.
The power of darkness was corrosive. Hayden was impressed by it. Afterward, he closed his eyes and started to meditate. He was trying to make some skills for safety measures.
Fay watched silently and smiled after she noticed that her brother was suddenly enlightened. Without disturbing him, she left and went inside the house. Also, she ordered Estelle not to let anyone bother her brother until he was done meditating.

Time passed slowly and the sun was scorching hot and high up in the sky. Fay went outside the house and sat near her brother's place. She liked her brother's calm and serene looking face. Looking at her expression, no one knows what she was thinking deep inside her mind.
One hour later, Fay noticed Hayden slowly opened his eyes. She was astonished because there was a slight change in Hayden's eyes.
As Hayden subconsciously activated his Arte, his pupil changed color from brown into purple-black, making his eyes look cold like the depth of an abyss.
"From now on, I'll call this skill Eyes of Darkness." Hayden was overjoyed. Combining his Arte with his vision was really worth it.
Eyes of darkness could help him to concentrate and feel more composed in a battle!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
