1 Liod Kennedy

Homa, a city by the ocean, was a beautiful city filled with large buildings, gentle breezes, fragrance in the air and peace.

But now it was only a city of ruins, filled with fallen buildings, Harsh breezes, and the smell of blood in the air.

But Also, it was a memory of Liod Kennedy. A memory of happiness and sorrow at the same time. 

At that moment he was only a 12-year-old child.

And that same day he lost both of his parents.

What happened that day?

Monsters, with big sharp fangs, crimson skin, blue eyes, and some kind of dark energy within them Infiltrated their city.

Liod was holding on to his mother, covered in blood, and then she put her bloody hands on Liod's face and muttered something.

It was like the world stayed still when she muttered.

But right after that when Liod gathered the courage to look at her pale face.

He didn't see the face of his mother anymore, It was the face of a monster smiling.

And….. 

Liod wakes up, sitting in his classroom. It was a nightmare, though, that happened in his past, maybe a punishment for sleeping in the middle of the class. 

Liod, a brown-haired 18-year-old with pale-looking brown eyes, and his face give the vibe that he is always trying to find some answers, which is true of course.

His Table was in the last corner by the window, so as a habit in the history class he looked outside. (We all do right)

But he forgot whose class it was.

And for his second punishment, a chalk hit his head. And to make matters worse, the chair tripped over.

With an "ow!" He rubbed his forehead.

The class burst out in laughter.

And then a teacher said  "Liod get up"

It was Miss Amanda, a long black hair woman with green eyes with sparkles in them like Stars; she was wearing a brown teacher uniform.

With hurry, hesitation, and hurting his head on the table of the girl beside him…somehow he managed to stand up with a salute "Y-YES SIS AMANDA!"

Though Amanda was not his sister, he used to call her that because their family were close.

"What did I tell you?" She asked,

"umm… not to call you that in class"

A girl with purple hair sighed, and so did a boy behind her with spiky yellow hair.

They were Liod's best friends 

Amanda, after a sigh, was about to say, "ok, now sit down-" and the bell paid a visit at the right moment. maybe…

Amanda exhaled and added "ok class, dismiss"

She put down the chalk while the students went out for lunch, except for our Brown hair typical anime main character and his two best friends.

"Liod" Amanda pointed before leaving the class, 

Liod knew what was coming.

"Meet me in my office after school". And yeah there's gonna be a huge lecture for this young man in the afternoon.

And she went out…..

"Bro!" A cheerful voice with spiky yellow hair and yellow eyes with a bright smile on his face, like another typical childhood friend in anime who will risk his life for the main character no matter what the situation is….

Or maybe, in some situations, he might not…

Anyways the boy is, "Split it out, you damn fuck". No, his name isn't [damn fuck] his name is [Max]

(That reminds me of a video game protagonist Max Payne….. 

(forget about my bad writing style let's get back to the story))

"Oh come on, do you have to greet me like that," Max said then Liod added 

"Who in the damn world would greet you"

"Are you two gonna stop fighting, or should I kick Both of your asses" the purple-hair-black-eyes-beauty added politely.

Though she is a devil by heart… believe me.

Both of them sit quietly "Yes, ma'am!"

The devil's name is Mira by the way.

"Now let us bring out our secret weapons for today" she added, and it felt like her one eye glowed

Max and Mira went through their bags, brought out their tiffin and set the tables.

And….

"Bro, where's your tiffin," Max asked, and Liod replied, "I forgot", turning his head away to the window and holding his chin.

For a moment they stared at him, like they found a skinwalker walking by.

Max put his hands on Liod's shoulder

"Liod, bro, it's not like you, tell me, are you Liod?"

"What kinda question is that?"

"Then prove it, if you are my best friend, kiss me"

With a power-up punch by Liod Max was blown to the teacher's table. That might have hurt.

Also, Liod, Liod's hands were glowing green, and, what was it? It looked like a boxing glove.

It is the power humans hold, The power is called kie. They can shape any kind of weapon unless they use it in real life and master it.

Only 30% of the human population has this power. Let's leave more information for the future. Right now, there's a love story going on, no, not between guys.

"Well.." a soft voice with the shy impression from Mira while she took out a Tamagoyaki* of her tiffin. 

(*Tamagoyaki=grilled egg)

"I can share mine-" 

"No thanks"

And he cut the mood off; Mira exhaled her head down, and the Tamagoyaki fell right back in the tiffin; the food looked quite delicious, though.

Right after, the saviour stood up for Mira, Max.

"Come on Liod, you shouldn't do that to her"

"You're still alive," Liod scoffed.

"she always wanted to share her tiffin with you, you know why?"

Mira got behind Max.

"Because she has a crush–" Before he could finish his sentence, a kick landed on his face and flung him away to the door. That might have hurt again.

Even though she wasn't a kie user that was sure a powerful kick.

And liod sighed looking at them fighting each other.

"Even though, it's not like you today Liod" Mira said while beating Max and again added "Are you feeling alright"

"What do you mean," Liod asked and in reply,  Max said, "You are always the Mister Perfect type who is always focused and especially never forgets his lunch box"

Mira added "Though you get calls to the office a lot because you always cause some trouble for Miss Amanda"

"But still, you are the mister perfect", Max added at last.

Both nodded 

And thinking a bit, Liod said softly, "Well….. I'm just a human after all"

Then he looked out the window and to the beautiful sky which might be saying 'Have a good day' but you know what the clouds were saying 'It's about to rain'

This city which was Liod in was Paxia the city of beginning, because from here the disaster started 70 years ago.

It was a modern city, but some buildings were still in construction due to some terrorist attack a few years ago.

The most noticeable part is, the city was covered by a huge transparent blue globe, they called the Kie barrier.

But the clouds which were coming for this beautiful city were half kilometres away from the barrier and the city.

There was a mountain covered in dense forest, and there were clouds between that forest. Not those which are in the sky.

Darkness, even the sunlight can't reach the ground and the feet of the tree, and between the bushes and woods, there were eyes.

Glowing blue eyes, they had sharp nails and furious fangs, and their skin was red.

They were the disaster; they were the clouds.

Right in front of them stood their leader, a human in a black cloak which was reaching his feet, and his face was completely covered with his hood.

He was staring at the city with a long-awaited purpose within his heart.

And with a deep low voice, he said "Let us begin"

He was going to start raining...
