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

Noe grapples Rosalind's upper arms, "You can tell me about what happened another time. Will Daniel be okay?"

Cracking an unamused smile, Rosalind shoves Noe's hands away from her, "Can you relax?"

For a moment, the vengeful frustration contorted on Noe's face reminds Rosalind of her father.

Rosalind's rage skyrockets, "You know I just did Daniel a favor, right? Why are you treating me like a criminal?!"

Even to those who choose not to see, Rosalind's agony is poignant across her face.

Taking a deep breath, Noe lifts his hands in surrender, "I'm no-"

Noe's raised hands shoot bullets of terror through Rosalind.

Flinching in defense, she punches Noe in the ribs.

Fragments of Noe's ribs splinter out of place. A gasp escapes Noe before he instantaneously heals. The cracks unite as if nothing happened.

Noe was not expecting the attack.
