MidGard

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution.
But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity.

Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day.

Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light.

A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers.

Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this?

The Glorious Evolution

While Nurah had already joined Levi on the other side, sitting next to him and conversing about the Wyvern's puzzle he solved, Demetris' door was still shut.

He was seen standing in front of it with a deadpan expression while his eyes were peeking through the keyhole, gazing at Levi and Nurah talking and laughing with each other.

A mere door separating them, yet Demetris felt like he was left behind on the loser's bench... a feeling he never experienced once in his life.

-Is this his limit? I thought he was better than this.-

-He let his emotions get the best of him.-

Suddenly, the nightcrawlers' negative comments rained down on Demetris, jolting him awake from his daze. As he lifted his head and saw their judgmental and disappointed looks, he felt like his heart was stabbed by a hundred knives.

"No, no..." Demetris murmured, looking like he was trying to summon the words to defend himself.
