Hello my dearest readers, welcome to my novel ,’When Dark Angels Fly’.

As this novel is not quite written following the premises and tropes previously used by other authors, I will give you guys … ah fuck it, you know what, Ima give it to ya straight alright. This novel is about guys loving guys. Not your cuppa tea? Please leave asap.

Also, if you be under the legal age of 18, please leave as well as this novel ain't for kids either!

You still here? 'Kay, now then let's give ya lil imps a quick tutorial in the abyss that is my imagination.

This ABO universe is an all male universe, the female genome was wiped out by a devastating man-made virus that was released by the Zergs. Unfortunately for the Zerg, their efforts backfired as the human race adapted.

The male genome mutated creating the Alpha, Beta and Omega genders. All genders can conceive, but Omegas have the highest fertility rate.

The ratio of each gender has resulted in half the population being Beta's, 30% being Alpha's and the remaining 20% are Omegas.

All genders are equal under the law, but there are distinctions made based on the body type and Abilities of the genders.

The Abilities in this universe are classified into Elemental, Mental, Physical, Metaphysical, Technical and Psychological (and in the MC's case Bloodline, but Ima keep those a surprise for now, hehe).

Elemental Abilities are : Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, Lightning, Wood and Metal

Mental Abilities are : Telepathy, Empathy, Telekinesis, Analysis, Computation, Levitation, Tracking, Tagging, Mental Shield and Mental Attack

Physical Abilities are : Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Speed, Enhanced Senses, Additional Senses, Transformation, Enhanced Defence, Size Alteration, Enhanced Dexterity, Enhanced Agility, Immunity and Teleportation

Metaphysical Abilities are : Healing, Ally Buff, Enemy Debuff, Poison Miasma, Stealth, Light, Darkness, Shadow Control and Energy Shield

Technical Abilities are : Alchemy, Potion Mastery, Puppet Mastery and Crafting

Psychological Abilities are : Mind Control, Memory Scrying, Hypnosis, Illusions and Truth

When Children are born, they have to undergo compulsory gender testing at 1 month old. This allows parents to start planning ahead.

At this time they also have their light brains implanted, this form is the most basic version that will display their name, gender and Soul Strength.

When Children are 1 year of age, they undergo the next compulsory test and this is for Soul Strength (also known as Will), this is needed to determine the Ranking they will have when their Abilities awaken at age 15.

This test is performed every year the day after their birthday from then on. This is because Soul Strength will increase with age and training (The Ranking is explained in the story, so I'm not gonna get into that now).

Children begin school in the year they turn 5, they first go to Priming School to receive basic mandatory schoolings such as Martial Arts training, Soul Strength training, reading, writing, math, computation, art, stellargraphy, history, social order, etiquette, science, cooking and metaphysics. They graduate from Priming School in the year they become 13.

After the mid-year break that year, they will start attending the Ability School. Here they receive all the information and training needed to Awaken their Ability and what to expect during and after their Awakening. They graduate from Ability School in the year they become 14.

The Children then have until their 15th birthday to prepare for their Awakening Ceremony. The month before their 15th birthday they are picked up to go to the Ability Institute, this is where they will undergo their Ceremony, have their light brains updated to the complete version and receive their access to "The Game" (more on this later, to avoid getting your brains muddled). After going through the Ceremony, their details are updated with their Abilities, ranking and nickname.

The nickname is something determined by the Children and is based on their character, Abilities, and so forth (The nicknames can be quite chunni, so prepare yourselves).

One month after the completion of the Awakening, the Children will then go home and have until they enter the Academy to train their Ability at home through "The Game".

When the Children reach the year they turn 18, they are officially categorised as Teenagers and can start to attend the Academy until they graduate in the year they turn 50. When they reach 50 they are officially categorised as Adults and can start working (Yes, you read that correctly they only become adults after they reach 50 years of age. The lifespans in this universe reach 500+, so they be slow in maturing, 'kay). They are also able to Bond with their Mate after becoming an Adult (Duh).

The Academies are categorised as :

- Military

- Medical

- Engineering

- Logistical

- Support

- Civilian

Military Academies are for the Teenagers that wish to become Warriors.

Medical Academies are for Teenagers wishing to become Doctors, Nurses, Surgeons or Pharmacists.

Engineering Academies are for Teenagers wanting to become Mecha Designers, Mechanics, Stellar Craft Builders, Architects or Engineers of all kinds as well as Scientists.

Logistical Academies are for Teenagers wanting to become Merchants, Stellar Craft Officers or Transporters.

Support Academies are for Teenagers wanting to become Alchemists, Potion Masters or Crafters.

Civilian Academies are for all persons who fall into Rank E or lower as the previous Academies have strict requirements that none of the students may have a lower Soul Strength than Rank D.

Now we will delve further into "The Game" as promised. When the Abilities have Awakened, all Children gain access to "The Game", which is a virtual universe that is modelled after the real universe.

Here they undergo training to master their Abilities as well as start to determine their future careers. Entering "The Game" and undergoing the training is mandatory, during the time before they start attending the Academy they must enter and remain in "The Game" for 6 hours a day.

Once they start attending the Academy, this drops to 4 hours a day spread over class and free time. This will continue until they turn 50, after which they are migrated to the Adult virtual universe "The System".

In "The System" their training continues, but the requirement is dropped to 2 hours a day, except for Warriors who are in an active war zone.

These virtual universes were created for the specific purpose of training Abilities and conducting dangerous experiments without having to fear injuries, ecological destruction or death. All Ability users learn how to work together in these universes to help protect and further the Universal Federation. They learn how to fight the Zerg and other hostile races that are attempting to invade and/or destroy the universe.

This novel starts in the year 5682 of the Universal Federation calendar.
