Chapter 1: Prologue

Twelve years ago, "Dimensional Demons" ravaged Earth, claiming millions of innocent lives. Amid the chaos, celestial beings descended from the skies, their auras illuminating the surroundings. They asked, "Humans, do you accept the power we offer?" Before they could finish speaking, the beings raised their hands, causing the humans to glow and gain newfound power. Without a word, the humans attacked the demons, driven by a singular goal: survival.

However, a massive monster emerged from a dimensional gate. It resembled a multi-eyed dog and declared, "HUMANS, YOU SHOULD ALL BOW DOWN AND WAIT FOR YOUR DEATH!" The humans fought the three colossal beasts, many dying to protect the others. Among the fallen was Jonathan's mother, Liza, a healer, who died while tending to the wounded.

Chapter 1: Prologue

[how's the food, son? on the way home I bought chicken meat and cook your favorite dish]

[...ohh it taste great mom! thank you so much, have you eaten, mom?]

[mommy will eat later, your father would love to have soup when he woke up]

[son? can you wake up your father, tell him that I'm cooking his favorite soup]

[b-b-bbut mom, father's dead, r-right?]

Jonathan saw a glance of his mother's eyes turned red, and crying with blood, while chopping the onions, soon after she's chopping her fingers. the room was engulf with nothing but darkness, crying, shouting and endless nightmare.

Jonathan is covering his eyes, and he heard a whisper in his ear, "son? why are you crying?"

Jonathan let go of his hands covering his eyes and opened them slowly turning his head and saw his fathers head, smiling while bloods are coming out of his ears' eyes, nose and mouth. Jonathan shout "AAHHHHHH!!!"

Jonathan open his eyes, only to see the ceiling of his house.

"ahhhh. that dream again"

Ever since her mother pass away, he always dream nothing but horror, he blame himself because his mother died that day.

Suddenly there's a loud banging in the door

"Jonathan, you're late for school! get up and wash your face"

Jonathan's Auntie, Maria. She been taking care of him since the day her mother passed away, Auntie Maria have 1 daughter but she's currently at USA studying.

Jonathan get up from his bed and stare at the mirror for a sec.

"Yes Auntie I'm awake now i'll go take a shower first then head down"

while showering he had a deep thoughts on his current life

"it's been 12 years since the occur, many humans were killed in the process of the surge, only those who's "chosen" were given a power to fight those monsters, back then what if I was a "chosen" too, can I prevent the death of my mother?"

I have to become stronger, only by then I will have my revenge on those monster, he whispered.

after taking a shower Jonathan head down to eat his break fast, he notice his auntie is talking to someone he doesn't know but he saw a tag on that man's dress he happens to overhear the man's voice

"Listen here, Woman, my boss had enough of your excuses, time to pay us what you borrow or I will break your nephew's leg. my boss has a short temper, you know??"

"P-Please no I beg you, just 1 week. N-no give me 2 weeks then I will pay you with all the interest just dont hurt him"

Jonathan foresaw that the unknown man will punch her auntie in the stomach, he stepped in and grab the man's hand.

the man was flabbergasted, because no one was able to grab his nor block him punch before, it's as if his pride was ruined.

"H-hey! what do you think you are doing? you dare grab my hand, you punk! just one word from me and my boss will order his to kill your Aun---??"

before he could finish the word, Jonathan squeeze his hands, the man shouted because of pain

"J-Jonathan stop dont hurt him anymore it will only get worse please I beg you"

that time Jonathan saw his auntie cry again and questioned himself "when was the last time auntie cried?"

Jonathan let go of the man's hand, the man is crying because his hands was almost crushed

"y-y-yyyou! I wont let you get away with this! my name is Cedrick and I am the secretary of the boss of when I tell this to the boss he will definitely order the elite's to kill you and your aunt---"

then again, before he could finish a word Jonathan closed the door.

"auntie are you alright? who is that man what does he have to do with us?"

his auntie was hesitating to tell him the truth, but decided to finally talk about it.

"sorry, Jonathan. I drag you into this problem. it's just that auntie is little short on money so I decided to borrow from those loan sharks. but i never thought it would increase in just a short period. I am so sorry, your auntie is so useless. I am so sorry that you see this weak side of me"

his auntie cried so much, Jonathan felt ashame because he cant do anything, he have no money, no license to raid a he's not even registered as a hunter, and he is still studying.

"dont worry auntie, I will help you I promise. we will pay those greedy men. but for now i have to change my uniform because you cried to much and i have go to school, i think i'm really screwed became im late"

his auntie stop crying and wipe his tears and smirk

"pfttt HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry Jonathan I think I cried too much now your uniform is so wet of my tears"

both of them laugh a bit and Jonathan head to his room and change his uniform, after that he ate the break fast that his auntie prepared for him.

"Auntie I'm going now see you later" then he ran so fast afraid of being late. his school is 1 kilometer far away his home, and because he's been training a lot, he only need a minutes to reach his school.

on his way, he saw a is opened and there are a lot of hunters are gathering, and happen to recognize them

before she could finish her words she felt a tremendous aura is standing beside her, she look around and saw her teacher.

"Ms.Lyza, would you mind to share it to us what have you too been talking too? it seems you two are having fun because your voice are louder than mine!"

Lyza was so afraid of her demonic face that look like a face of an ape person with a horn

"s-sssorryy, maam mendez! I didn't hear your voice please forgive me"

teacher mendez sigh and walk away, on the way to her desk and said "if you want to talk 24/7 just why not be with each other"
