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

Weak, frail, and unable to replenish his energy, Noe has no choice but to be dragged along by Malyna. His collar digs into his neck as Malyna yanks him with every step.

Watching Noe stumble, Malyna pulls him up again. A tiny smile plays at her features as she coldly mocks, "How does it feel to breathe the same quantity of oxygen as everyone else? "

Ignoring her, Noe looks around him for the first time since touching down on Xeronic soil, or rather, bone dust.

Noe understands why Xeron is dubbed 'the Underworld'.

Enshrouded by the blood colored sky, the only light present leaks through from the red glow of the stratosphere. Instead of seeming to stretch beyond that which the eye can see, the sky does not appear thick enough to wade through.

The sky's pigmentation tells that one would hit ground if they flew too far. Is Xeron truly underground? Is the sky thick layers of blood sticking to dirt?
