Chapter 1 - prologue

The stars burned brightly in the night sky,

thousands of them gathered around the crimson moon that hung above the heavens like a silent witness.

They had come to watch to observe the macabre spectacle unfolding on the world below.

Once, this land had been vibrant and alive forests stretched endlessly across the horizon, rivers flowed through fertile valleys, and cities full of life stood proudly upon the earth.

But that world no longer existed.

Now…

Only death remained.

Hundreds of thousands…

No.

Millions of bodies lay scattered across the once fertile ground.

The earth itself had turned red, soaked by an endless ocean of blood that stretched farther than the eye could see.

The wind slowly passed through the sea of corpses, carrying with it the heavy metallic scent of blood.

Silence dominated the battlefield a silence so deep that it felt unnatural.

And yet…

In the middle of that apocalyptic landscape, someone stood.

A young man.

His expression was completely cold he wore a white armor that was now stained by countless traces of blood.

In his hand rested a crimson sword, its blade still dripping as droplets of blood slowly fell to the ground beneath him.

Despite the horrifying scene around him, the young man radiated a strange aura it was noble.Dignified.Almost heroic.and even divine.

If someone were to see him for the first time, they might believe he was the hero who had fought to protect this world.

And once…that hadbeen the true.

But not anymore.

Because the catastrophe that had destroyed this world…was his doing.

Not because he had failed to save them but because he had chosen to destroy them.

To end the life of all those people.

The young man slowly lifted his head and looked toward the sky.

Toward the countless stars watching from above.

His eyes were calm,almost bored.

"Still doing nothing?"

His voice echoed softly through the dead world.

"Are you waiting for an invitation?"

He tilted his head slightly."Or do you prefer that I come to you myself…"

The stars flickered violently in the night sky.

Their light trembled, as if angered by the provocation of a mere mortal.

Yet none of them moved.

None dared to descend.

Because they knew what it would mean.

Their end.

The young man watched them in silence for a moment.

Then he sighed.

"How pathetic."

He raise her hand toward the sky and snapped his fingers.

In that instant—

Hundreds of stars vanished.Simply erased from existence.No explosion.

For the first time since the birth of the world, fear spread among them.

Some of them panicked.

Others hesitated, unsure of what to do.

But a few…

Remained completely still.

As if this celestial massacre was nothing more than a form of entertainment.

The young man's gaze darkened.

"I'll say this one last time."

His voice was no longer calm.

Hatred now flowed through every word.

"Come down…"

His sword slowly lowered toward the blood-soaked earth.

"…or I will come up there myself and I swear that your death won't be painless."

Silence followed.A long…Heavy…Oppressive silence.

Then—The sky split open.

A colossal beam of light descended from the heavens and struck the earth with overwhelming force.

The atmosphere itself changed.A divine aura filled the air, releasing a suffocating pressure that seemed capable of crushing the entire world.

Even the wind stopped moving.

But the young man…Was completely unaffected.

Instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The light slowly faded and three figure from within the divine radiance.

For normal people their form was impossible to see but for the young man he could clearly see what they were proving that he had achieved a level clearly equal to them.

The first one stood radiantly light emerging from his body degaging a presence of calm and peace her face was covered in your a voice impossible to see her face but it could tell that she was beautiful.

The second figure burned with blazing flames. Fire covered his entire body, constantly shifting and changing. The intensity of the flames reflected his emotions—wild, furious, uncontrollable.

The third figure was the most mysterious.

His body was hidden beneath a dark hood, and where his face should have been, only countless stars shimmered like a living galaxy.

They stood face to face to the young man but they were clearly a difference as their aura alone was distorting space and reality itself.

"Nice to see you finally in figure great mistress of light, venerable phenix and..."

He pause for a second looking at the third figure with a nostalgic face.

"Master of star."

"You talk so friendly and yet I can clearly see the hatred and anger in you" say the mistress of light.

"ENOUGH of those mascard, we should just kill him and end this farce" The venerable phenix say with anger in his voice.

A faint of smirk tugged at the lips of the young man." Kill me?do you really think that a chicken like you can harm harm me now?"

"Chicken?" She said as the the flame around her body grow lighter "you dare compare me to a lesser animal you wretch."

"Do not mistake your past achievements for something meaningful. Just because you were exceptional among mortals does not mean you stand equal to us."

"ENOUGH" The mistress of light interrupted her calming her down as her fire was burning everything around.

"Losing control will not change what has already happened."

The divine entity turned its gaze toward the young man.

"We must first understand him. Maybe they a reason why he did this"

The great Phoenix turned in disbelief toward his companion.

"You must be fucking kidding me right.what could be the reason for someone to massacre every people on his world?

What could be the reason he did this after every sacrifice we make?"

She then pointed his finger toward the numerous corpses.

"He killed them,everyone, his own family, his friend, lover,the witch queen,the elf queen he spared no one.

" and you want me to understand this piece of shit?"

"Then why you didn't intervened? Why didn't you descend like now for protecting your own people" the young man replied his voice laced with anger.

"Why didn't you stop me when I was doing it. Why did you descend when I started to kill your own"?

His aura began to expand filling crak around the space around him." Let me tell you something. you talk about sacrifice but you didn't sacrifice anything. 'He' was the one who made sacrifice not you..."

He paused for a second as he finsih with a point of sadness In his voice."not even me."

The third entities who had been silent since the beginning moved for the first time.

He move toward the young man slowly step by step until he stood face to face to him.

"It's that why you did this" He finally said his voice containing something like pity," because you couldn't save him."

"Yes"

A heavy silence matched in the air before the mistress of light said:

"It was his choice. He choose to make this sacrifice because he believed in you since the beginning. Doing this go against what he believed you were."

The young man froze upon hearing those word a heavy sadness on his heart.

"He was anomaly someone who wasn't supposed to be here." The venerable phenix continued.

"But he was a welcome home,one who permitted us to end this nightmare.To accomplish what the world had fated for us."

The young man slowly raised his head. His eyes contained nothing but void.

"Fate?anomaly?"

"You must be kidding me right what kind of fate this world have for us?making me suffer, sacrifice does he believe not important enought because they are not the 'main character'."

He stepped back having a clear view of the three entities.

"I refuse to accept that. No matter what I will find a way. I won't accept that they disappear just because this world have his rule"

"Fate want this? Fine then I will break it and forge my own."

"You have gone mad mortal,no one can break this world will not even us." Said the master of star.

"But I'm not you and I will never be you."

The master of star just stated at the young man for a moment then he sighed before extending his hand toward him.

"Then as your constellation I shall support you."

Both the mistress of light and the venerable phenix make shocked face at the statement of the master of star.

Even the young man seemed surprised at first before his face showed a genuine smile of recognition.

"Do you think I will let you do something do reckless? Besides you have no way of reversing what you have done?"the venerable phenix said.

The young man bite her lips as if strikes by the sudden realization but the master of light didn't react and simply extend her hand as colorless aura showed in his hand.

"It's time to end this farce for once and all"

"You...how did you get this" The young man said with surprise.

"Abaddon don't you dare do this" The venerable phenix said as the flame from his body credited of rage and as ready to attack but....

Slack

A sword transperced the stomach of the venerable Phoenix as he turned his head he see the mistress of light holding the sword firm.

"Al...tea...why" He asked

"I'm sorry phoena but I think also that this is the best" She said but his voice didn't contained affirmation or resolution instead it was filled with regret and sadness.

The venerable phenix was ready to burn hi.self to stop them but after a moment he just stopped and accepted.

"Fine but I swear that I won't stay still."

The light in the hand of the master of star began to engulfed everything to the bloody course to the star in the sky.

Many of them tried to descend but it was too late they were just devored by the light in the end.

As both Phoena and altea were engulfed by the light at their turn abaddon turned his head toward the young man.

"Do not forget their won't be a second chance"

The young man just nodded his head showing that he understood and at the end the light engulfed Abaddon before engulfing the young man and all the worlds.

"Thank you."
