The lightning crackled through the dark sky, the black clouds were dropping water droplets on the burning forest. Piles of lifeless bodies were lying down on the ground, some lost their hands, some their heads and some their eyes and legs.
This terrifying moment was made because of a war, a war of Humans versus Gods and Devils. Many strong warriors from all over the world joined it, some lost their limbs and some their lives. This war did not look like that it will end anytime soon.
The Human Army was led by a person named, "Wolf Gray". He was the strongest human to ever be born as the legends say. That man's appearance was not even ordinary, he was tall with a big muscular body with dim blue coloured eyes. His hairs were black and he had a scar that he got on a mission where his teammates betrayed him.
"Captain! What should we do? We are losing our warriors!" A fellow warrior shouted, asking the question to his captain. This war has been continuing from 10 days nonstop. Many low class gods and devils have fell down in this war.
"We will not give up till the very end!" The captain Wolf Gray shouted, his voice echoed through the battlefield. After saying this, Wolf took a deep breath and leaped into the sky. He used his sword and slashed through every enemy he saw in the sky.
As he was slashing through his enemies, a sudden burst of energy attacked him. Wolf lost the grip from his sword and his sword fell down. As Wolf looked forward, he saw a guy with a lean body with red skin tone.
"Wolf Gray... Humanity's strongest warrior, it's the end for you now."
The enemy said this, locking his eyes on Wolf as the only target. A warrior from behind threw his sword at the enemy but before it could land a hit, the sword turned into ashes and the warrior behind slowly fell down and got unconscious.
"Necra, so the god of death itself has shown up, to stop me. Pretty interesting."
Wolf looked at Necra with a cold look and charged forward. Necra responded and charged forward with a counter. As their fists clashed, it sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Every warrior, God and Devil present there stopped their fight and looked at the two legendary warriors. A warrior from Humanity versus a warrior from the godhood.
They both attacked each other and charged their fists with all of their supernatural powers they had, giving their 100 percent. As their fists clashed a thunder once again crackled through the dark battlefield.
*****
17 years later
The world is not same as it was before, after the war. The world now have a darker sky with black clouds instead of those white clouds and a blue sky.
After the war ended due to interference of the true creator, Gods and Devils laid a curse on this Utopia where any one person who is born will die at the age of 18. To prevent this they must do a ritual and enter Demon Realm or Divine Realm to gain powers. If someone refuses it then they're turned into monsters who hunts humans. And if they die in the realm during the trial, the result will be same but with a stronger version that will roam and hunt humans without any motives.
It was a normal day, it was 17th birthday of Aden Gray. Aden is the son of Wolf Gray and he was born on the day when the war ended, but his father mysteriously disappeared that day. No one knows what happened to him.
Aden was sitting in his room, Aden's room was clean and tidy, it had a small desk, a bed and a bookshelf. The interior of the room was made by wood.
Aden looked outside of his window, tears were filling in his eyes. Even though Aden was raised by his mother, she never let Aden go outside alone and fulfilled every wish of Aden since the birth.
Aden's mom is a retired warrior who did not fought in the war due to her pregnancy. Aden's mom Risa always took care of his son with love. On the other hand, the world looks at Aden as a curse given by gods. Because Aden was born on the day when his father disappeared and the curse was also laid on the same day which he was born.
Due to these reasons the people looks at Aden as the cursed child, because of this Aden never had friends. The parents of other children did not let their children play with Aden. Due to this he never celebrates his birthday.
*****
As Aden was looking outside from his window, someone knocked on his door, "Knock, knock." Aden stepped forward and opened the door, he saw his mother.
"Mom, are you alright? What happened?" Aden asked as he looked at his mother's face that was filled with stress and anxiety.
"Nothing, it's your 17th birthday son. Happy birthday."
Aden's mom Risa wished. Aden didn't looked surprised as his mother has been always trying to celebrate his birthday. Aden simply responded with a nod.
"Aden, have you decided in which realm you will enter for your trial?" Risa asked.
"Probably the demon realm." Aden replied.
"Oh, that's good. So are you ready?"
Aden looked at the ceiling, he hesitated to answer but replied with a nod, "Yes, I am ready."
Risa looked happy as his son was going to attempt the trial but, she was also scared of losing his only son. She encouraged herself that her son will comeback stronger.
Aden's plan to attempt this trial is to try to find about his father. Aden never saw his father in person, due to this he want to know what happened to him as the world only know he mysteriously disappeared.
Risa told Aden to follow, Aden started to follow her. He went down through the wooden stairs and then turned left. His mother pushed a small hidden button on the wall as he came down from the stairs.
Slowly a small passage beneath them opened.
"Is this a basement?" Aden curiously asked.
"Yes."
Risa started to walk in and Aden followed her slowly. As they reached the bottom of the basement, Aden saw swords, shields and many equipment that a warrior wears.
"This all is of your dad." Risa said.
Aden curiously looked around the basement, he saw many equipments and surprisingly there was a small statue of a person. The small statue looked like a fallen angel, with her halo and wings being hurted.
"Aden."
Aden looked at his mother as she called his name.
"Join your hands and then say this line, O' the fallen angel grant me to enter the trial, the trial of the Demon Realm." Risa explained.
Aden slowly turned his gaze towards the statue, "Hey mom, thank you for being so nice with me. See you in a bit." Aden said.
Risa looked happily towards Aden, the tears of happiness filled her eyes.
O' the fallen angel, grant me to enter the trial, the trial of the Demon Realm.
As Aden said this, he slowly opened his eyes and saw nothing, just pure pitch black. He stood in a single place, unable to move.
"Mortal, you have entered the demon realm. Introduce yourself to proceed." A deep voice echoed through the empty space and slowly two red eyes emerged from the dark area infront of Aden.
