Angeldrex

In a world where the manifestation of one's soul power through intricate systems defines one's prowess against dimensional beasts and monsters that have tormented humanity for over a century, our protagonist, Allen, finds himself at the center of ridicule during the annual awakening ceremony.

"Such trash," whispers the crowd. "His parents would be disappointed."

"All handsome, yet still trash," scoffs another. "A waste of space."

"The lizard system?" mocks someone else. "I've never heard of such garbage. Emma must be relieved to have left him."

Despite the insults, Allen remains unfazed, knowing his true potential remains hidden from the incompetent machine.

Unbeknownst to everyone at the scene, a day would come when the boy they once looked down on would become their savior in the midst of despair and desperation.

And with the supreme power he possessed, all shall kneel before him, every form of resistance shattered in the face of true power.

"Why? Why is it always him? What does he have that I don't? Why is he always superior to me? Why did he have to be born as the son of a sword genius?"

He had thought he had finally surpassed Allen, but what he had witnessed today indicated that he wasn't. He thought he finally had a future greater than Allen's, but it seems it was all a soon-to-be-dispersed illusion.

"Of course, he's destined for greatness while I'm just an ant in comparison. Is there really nothing I can do?"

A great silence followed after, the very surroundings becoming eerily creeping, his senses indicating something was about to happen.

"Of course there is, you just have to be willing to do anything," a masculine voice came from the shadows, before he began to unveil himself, revealing his figure to Jerrad.
