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

Too soon, the gong bursts Daniel out of his discussion with the six.

Daniel catches his breath and glances at his hologram device. Sure enough, class has ended.

Aside from Noe, each of the six has deflated, backs hunched, lips pursing in petrified anticipation.

Straightening up, Daniel considers his students' next steps - some have Sir Renner, others shall be heading to Solitude. The day shall not be easy for them.

An air of seriousness chokes the classroom.

"That's it for today, class," Daniel speaks solemnly.

His students rise to their feet. They cannot meet Daniel's eyes.

No matter what comes at them, Daniel would at least wish for his students to maintain their confidence. In the face of adversity, belief in themselves will prosper, and that belief could save their worlds one day.

"Chins up, eyes straight ahead," Daniel commands. "There is nothing they can throw at you that you won't get up from; not on my watch."
