At the top of a tower within a white istara academy. stood an oldman. He gaze at the mountain north. A gaze that filled with anxiety, feeling uneasy. The top floor is consist only from a balcony, circled with a mighty pillar supporting the dome above. This oldman is the leader of the council that lead istara white academy.
The oldman then raise his left hand. At the same time, an owl descent from the cloud. the owl was pure white, almost glowing. After the owl Rested at his hand, then both of them look each other. A serious atmosphere fill this simple action. "Thank you" the oldman says after the long exchange
The oldman then turn back. Walk toward the only door on the room. Behind this door is a series of countless spiral stair that lead to the building on the ground. The owl then fly again outside. This time just gliding down slowly at the same pace with the oldman that take the stair.
"Summon the council" the oldman spoke each words is full of power. "I hope i'm not to late". A whisper that faint linger behind at this tower.
-----------------
Bellow the tower is the ground from the academy. Bustling with academy, some student sparing, few tinkering with strange object, few other read books.
"Open the gate" yell the watchman above the gate.
Then a group of armored cavalery that guard few cart enter the academy. The cart is carrying a group of student that look wounded.
After they stop an oldman step down from the cart and stroll toward one of the building on the academy. While the rest of the student that wounded was lead to the other building.

The oldman walk past big double door that creaking open. Reavealing a round table with a five chair that circling arround it. Four chair was already occupied. Leaving only a chair that heavily ornamented.
The old man walk slowly toward the only unoccupied chair on the table. Each time left an echo. Behind him an owl glide slowly before rest at the back of the only empty chair
"Headmaster". Says the people that already there while the stood.
"Please" the oldman says when he already arrived at the chair while gesturing the peoples arround to sit.
"There's an urgent report from teacher gerard" an about fourty years old man that wear a blue cuirass spoke, opening the council. The pause going awhile before he continue "about apocalyse touch" says the man again. This man is the chief from the knightly order.
A gasp escape from the people arround. Which follow by murmur from the people arround.
"Masters please" the headmaster cut their murmur
"Oh, my. Master wulfgang, Is this news is reliable" ask a beautiful lady that about 30 years old toward the man. She's wearing a red dress with silver lining. At her neck hung a medalion with the social society emblem.
"Lady kirana, real or not this is still a matter that need our attention, you know the implication" says a bearded man that wear a green cloak with red pattern. He is the chief of the general science faculty.
"Two missing student, two dead student. The rest of the student that back from the accident all says about the red mist and the transformation after. I suppose the sign is right" answer master wulfgang.
"What do you think lady agnis" ask lady kirana toward the old lady that sit accross her. The lady is wearing black hood with a yellow lining, at her hand lies a golden ornamentet staff with intricated design that glow lightly.

"The star of hope is left its position while the red star of destruction is shone brighter. Still The headmaster decide" the old lady spoke. Her eyes flare a moment after she spoke.
"Oh, And masters, there is issue of infection from the student that wounded. How should we deal with it, remembering there's few VIP among the group" added master wulfgang.
"If the council is approve, i can prepare special facility to acomodate them. But still, i think it's better to sent them to be guarded by the order of magus" says the bearded man.
"It's okay master august, i can spare three disciple to guard them" says lady agnis toward the bearded man.
"Now, what step should we take headmaster?" Ask lady kirana.
"Yes, the reason i summon the council is regarding the apocalypse touch. But first bring this news to the kingdom, give them time to prepare".
Then the discussion begun. Few hour later five crow flew from the istara white academy. At each crow leg attached a tube. Each marked with a sigil from the istara white academy.

The Court of Souls?
What do we talk about tonight?~“How about a story?”~Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one.~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~Was it strong then?~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it?~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~So he became a hero and changed the world?~»…”~Tell me.~“Nooo, that’s not how the story goes. This isn’t a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was… kinder than the rest.”~A kind demon? How boring.~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~So tell the story!

Note: Sadly, all things must come to an end and Volume 1 has been officially completed. Since I have now published the whole volume on amazon and enrolled it into KDP select, I can no longer keep the book uploaded on other platforms as per their requirements. Apologies for the inconvenience. If, by any chance, you'd like to support me there, you can find the book here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MRDFR7V What do you do when life‘s got you hunched on the ground, crying and screaming for your mother? When negativity and black humor is the only entertainment you‘re getting? You run away to a different world, of course! And it just so happened that one such world was available and open for the downtrodden and distraught. Alternative Reality - a virtual reality platform with a suspiciously unoriginal name, already established as the most life-like experience one could spend their time on and Luke had plenty of time to spare. Now? He’s more than just Luke, the social outcast. Now, he’s also Wail - a lunatic magician who plays with fire without the mental aptitude or sense of responsibility necessary to safely handle it. Add in a petty and spiteful character and the conditions for mayhem are fully satisfied. Join now and witness his adventures, while the world around burns with more than a bit of fault falling upon his downward sloping shoulders. Disclaimer! The book contains morally ambiguous choices, violence, arson, vandalism, unnecessarily satirical portrayal of religious zealotry, profanity, background forced labor that looms dangerously close to slavery and much, much more.
