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

Jojo's contracted nightcrawler, Zar'Vhulek, frowned a bit… he wasn't too pleased with Ash'Kral's disrespectful reaction.

"Disagreement is understandable, but don't scoff and remain silent," Zar'Vhulek said. "State your argument and defend it."

"I don't need to state or defend anything," Ash'Kral yawned. "I doubt you will even understand it if I tried… might as well save my saliva."

Levi's eyebrows twitched at the displeased expressions painted on his friends' nightcrawlers. Even Blee'der, O'rro, and O'thnir didn't seem too fond of Ash'Kral's arrogance. If it hadn't been for him being Levi's contracted nightcrawler… and they liked Levi so much… they would have already insisted on a humbling session.

"Try me… I am always interested in expanding my horizons." Zar'Vhulek bowed his head a little, not too bothered by Ash'Kral's shitty persona.
