SEP1A

The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical.

Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable.

With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question.

Excerpt:

Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps.

His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement.

When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck.

Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel.

Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box.

Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable.

It was all for first love.

Devil Child

Daniel sprawls his arms and chest wide around him, letting out an enormous yawn that quivers the bedframe in lassitude.

"You should get some rest," Noe tells him. "I'll probably be leaving for a while tonight."

"You want to go help the children," Daniel knows.

"I do," Noe confirms. "I can feel that you're tired so don't wait up for me."

Contesting, Daniel says, "You're tired too. You haven't slept more than three hours a night all week. If you can still walk and talk after all that then well-rested me can come with you."

For a moment, Noe wants to disagree but the thought of telling Daniel to remain behind while Daniel is staring up at him so expectantly paralyzes Noe. In the end, Noe agrees, "I would refuse but I can't say no to your desires."
