Chapter 4 : The truth? or was it all a lie

It has been quite a while since the match with devoire, and even now they havent come to me to give me any warning or at the very most tell me that I would be expellled. that aside, I think I'm going to look at this screen that's been plaguing me with notifications ... I've been avoiding people just because of how annoying it is. what is this anyways?

I finally take a look at the screen it was rectangular and red with black on its edges. it looked weird, with a writing in the middle written,

"CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PASSED ALL NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS".

'requirements?' I thought to myself, why didnt this appear to me while I was in the dark church, when I fought against the contracted beings of 'God', why now when all I did was kill of a pawn.

I didnt exactly know what to do, so I just thought about it leaving and the screen had changed, the message and been removed and replaced with something like a status window from games.

No matter how I tried to understand this, it didnt make any sense to me. i never heard of anyone having this screen or having any requirements met but what I do remember was, there were some people with dangerous abilities, some of which made me wonder if they were human.

I take a deep breath to understand something as I searched my memories to try and understand what was happeneing, even while the world had these abilities, there were some that had more, it was something you could sense, the aura they gave off, it was more than the normal affinity based abilities people had.

were affinity based powers all there was to it ? was it the truth? or was it all a lie?... this plagued my mind for a few minutes before I heaved a sigh.

no need thinking about it if it doesnt have an answer...

I look up at the sky, its 7:17 PM, the clouds were low from this height or more so, was low in the distance while staring at the horizon and numerous stars high in the sky, the air was cool and the view was amazing, a river going by just outside the walls of the school, the numerous little beasts that were by the waters were not as ferocious as I usually saw them as...

I look back at the status window, I dont think anyone can see it so I think for now it's fine. I looked carefully at what was written, I mean only a mad man wouldnt.

I was in awe by this, a system to measure my power as well as other sides of me I was unsure of, but that wasnt what was on my mind as i swipe the screen to take a look at the messages I had received.

"GOD OF CHAOS NODS AT YOUR METHOD OF KILLING THE WOMAN"

"GOD OF SERENITY LOOKS AWAY IN DISAPPOINTMENT ",

What is all this??! Gods? I get more confused the more I look at this until a new window comes up,

"GOD OF CHAOS WISHES TO GRANT YOU A SKILL"

Y/N

I didnt know what this was and since it was all new to me I answered yes. A skill had popped into my head, I look at the window after the bright light subsided and

I had learnt the skill "death Angel's', from the description it wasnt a flight ability like I had thought but more like a combat ability which honestly, I really needed, its activation lasted 3 minutes and cool down of 10 minutes and it can be upgraded, but most of all, it uses my soul fire, Black fire and darkness as its requirements, this really made me curious...

I look around me to know if i was alone and if anyone had seen such light but it was just me, i walked down the steps to try out the skill. I didnt need to say it out loud, the thought of it activated it, I felt some of my spirit leave me, the black fire had left me with my darkness and soul fire last, I wasnt weakened but most of the stats had gone down significantly as my stats were halved but that didnt matter as the scene before me left me in awe. the swirling vortex of all three attributes or skills as the interface shows me, formed into a core, something that martial artists would have, was infront of me, the cure was dark red as the black fire was trying to devour the soul fire and the darkness was keeping all balance, the beauty and danger from this alone reminded me of a rose, with its thorns, if it was poisonous, one would only imagine how the worlds number wouldve reduced from such a stupid thing, while lost in thought I heard a sound from the core, it had cracked???! The core cracked and a figure had come out of it, with my abilities in it but much more stronger, black wings infused with darkness, black eyes on the left and red on the right, its body was clad in scales made from all three attributes of flames and it knelt before me,

"Bestow upon me, A Name, Master!" the being infront of me, with powers like mine but stronger, was something I had never seen nor thought imaginable before, i simply looked at it, a sly smile crept it's way to my lips as the name I thought of, finally clear.

"I shall name you..."
