Neo-Human, Demi-god

The education system in the NEW WORLD civilization differed

from the depleted modern world, which used to emphasize logic, theoretical

concepts, science, and math.

The neo-humans did not demand proof of this emphasis. With

their god-like abilities, they delved into the basics of mystic arts. They

adapted the ancient way of living with greater blessings for the greater good

of the present day.

Both children who carelessly loitered at the rooftop of their

school, Cynthia and Rin, were born with a natural talent for mastering mystic

arts.

Revealing their identities to the public would cause an uproar

among the minority of neo-humans who hold specific views about their origin.

Therefore, they must always keep their identities concealed while living their

daily lives among the neo-humans.

"So—what kind of spell does our homeroom teacher want to

teach us today?" Cynthia asked. She turned her body around and opposed

Rin's direction while leaning her back on the barricade, her arms crossed while

waiting for the reply.

"I can't say anything out of the ordinary. This week's

assignment was about taming the fire element. I need some enlightenment since

I'll be sure to mess up with my wind element. It's like adding fuel to the

fire, one wrong move, I might burn the whole school to ashes ground," Rin

replied timidly, giggling over her frailty. Knowing her weakness will be a

crack joke to everyone, as her natural element was the wind, a natural enemy to

fire.

"Sigh—Your father is a god of fire. How come you, as a

princess of the heavenly realm, can't even manipulate the simplified fire chanting?"

Cynthia says as she sighs over her word. She couldn't believe that the daughter

of both masters of wind and fire elements couldn't even manipulate one of her

natural-born elements.

"Nana, please don't tease me. My father abandoned us

sixteen years ago. My mother was the only one who helped me develop my natural-born

ability. However, due to my father's absence, she struggled to teach me how to

control the opposite element."

"Sixteen years..." Cynthia pulled another sigh in

the middle of her sentences.

"Time sure does fly fast. In a blink of an eye, we could

see a lot of changes in this town," Cynthia responded to her sister in an

indirect manner. She blinked her eyes a few times and gazed at the view of the

town. It was filled with double-story buildings that were slowly rebuilt and a

neon sign that was barely noticeable in the daylight.

"Sometimes, I am truthfully envious of you—the fire, water, wind, wood, ground, and even dark and light

elements. You've mastered every one of them since three years ago.

All are almost completely dancing under your palm. Could you at least lend me

your wisdom to your miserable sister?"  Rin speaks out her manner in

a childish way. At the same time, her hand repeatedly pulled Cynthia's sleeve,

showing her affection and adorable cute face.

Cynthia didn't bother to phrase her reply. Instead, she feels

annoyed as she didn't want to recall the past on how she managed to control all

those elements at a young age. She wished not to become extraordinary, but

those talents came in with many prices she'd sacrificed.

When her parent drew a truce with the Creator of Life to save

humanity, Cynthia's parents decided to

leave her when she was only three.

Her parents possessed a complete opposite element. Her mother

was a princess from the world of the gods, while her father was a prince of the

demonic underground world. They deeply fall in love and struggle their way out

of this nonsensical grudge between the two domains. They both have fought out

of this war that lasted for centuries before they could unite and conceive

Cynthia in this reboot world.

The Creator of Life opposed their decision and calmly invoked

them to adhere to his demand. He separated them into a completely different paths

in this vast universe to avoid collision between two opposed energy. Before

Cynthia's parents can settle down with everyday life, misfortune strikes back

hard into their fate.

Even if the three realms have merged into reality, the balance

between dark and light should draw their line. Suppose humanity makes the same

blunder and falls back into the gulf of darkness. There shouldn't be any

significant ancient entity that can induce neo-human to spark a new feud that

may lead to the same path as before the world ended.

Despite Rin's mother extending her hospitality to Cynthia when

she was a child, Cynthia chose to wander around since the age of twelve. She

was a prodigy whose intelligence surpassed anyone her age and could handle any

situation calmly. Consequently, she had to live her childhood independently,

without the warmth of a family.

At the time of their conversation on the school rooftop,

Cynthia was already seventeen years old. Although she led a melancholic life,

mastering the fundamental element seemed effortless for her. She could even

recite a deadly spell capable of destroying the town instantly.

On the other hand, Rin's father, who had been absent from her

life, followed in the footsteps of Cynthia's parents and willingly accepted the

invocation.

He was the next successor in ruling the Heavenly realm and

possessed the power to replace the image of this world as he desired. Despite

having Rin and her mother by his side and remaining calm and sane, the Creator

of Life did persuade him to refrain from repeating the mistakes of the past.

 Thus, these three

essential characters played a significant role in creating this new world. The

consequences that were placed on the younger generation were silent depression,

and Rin grew up without the warmth of her father.
