Chapter 1

-12 May 2340-

A boy with pale white hair stood infront of a door that stood 5ft high. His eyes had a amethyst jewel like look that centered in the middle of his pupils. The boy's body frame was extremely fit due to intensive training that has made him look like an all rounder athlete.

His name is Kioshi Tadere , a 16 year old early graduate who was known as a genius at his institution. His grades were always excellent that teachers thought that he might of being cheating but found no evidence. Kioshi was an outgoing person who had an above average amount of friends until his family died due to an unexpected attack from beasts. After that tragedy , he was the only one alive but suffered Schizoid Personality Disorder or SPD for short. It occured when the beasts gave him a decision to choose between his father or mother. In the end , he couldn't choose either and they both got ravaged gruesomely infront of him. No matter how much he screamed and begged them to stop , they didn't listen to him and instead , expressed joy when they saw his frantic expression. After those series of events , he distance himself from his friends and peers , leaving himself to blame for his parents death. That caused him to suffer SPD , his heart only lingered for revenge and to achieve this , his first goal was already achieved which was graduating , now his revenge lies behind the door his standing infront of.

"Phew." Kioshi released a quick breather to calm himself. Even tho he had a personality disorder , he could still feel stress and other emotions , he decided that if he could experience these emotions , then his mental state is okay.

Kioshi extended his hand and pushed the doors infront of him as it opened leaving a creaking sound.

When he entered , the first thing he saw was a crystal cube that was at the center of the room. It had a pale white glow to it which attracted his sight.

"Ahem." A cough was heard which brought Kioshi out if his attracted state. He looked towards where the sound came from and saw an elderly man standing beside the crystal. "First time seeing an elemental crystal young one?" The elderly asked with faint smile that could be called gentle.

"Yes. I've only seen an element stone in the textbooks at my institution." Kioshi has rarely ever seen someone with an element stone since the object was excessively expensive. The price was $70,000 since he was living in Abigail at the moment. Other areas sell element stones at a higher price reaching to about $1.5M in stock.

"Oh , I see. Come here and let's have a look at your element might be." The elderly pointed towards the crystal indicating that Kioshi should come and touch it.

Kioshi nodded and walked towards the crystal until he was close enough and touched the crystal.

"Hm?" The elderly was confused since nothing was happening. Usually , when someone touched the crystal , it would immediately respond with a glow and a screen would pop up showing what element the person has but it wasn't glowing.

"Um , is there something wrong?" Kioshi asked since he didn't know what to do. He doesn't know if the crystal not glowing was part of the process of identifying his element or not.

"Yes , it seems that-" Before the elderly could finish his words , the crystal first glowed bright with a white light that could blind a normal person but then it was quickly engulfed by an ominous black gas that left no light to be seen within the crystal.

"Is my element relating to shadows?" Kioshi was curious since it was said that people who had a black color shown within a element stone would have a shadow or dark element within them.

The elderly was shocked due to the fact that he couldn't see any light from the crystal. Even if someone had a dark element , there would still be some light inside the crystal.

A holographic screen popped up from the crystal.
