Chapter 1

...I have a family—kind of a weird one....

...My mom? A powerful sorcerer. Graceful, wise, and totally badass with magic....

...My dad? Well… he’s a villain. Not just any villain—a devil villain....

...But here’s the twist: he fell in love with my mom. Yep. A sorcerer and a devil. Sounds like a disaster, right?...

...And somehow, from that chaos… I was born....

...So yeah—bup bup bup—this is where my story begins....

Hey. Good morning.

I’m Benedyx Daelimon—half sorcerer, full villain... or at least, that’s what they say.

I was born with an unmuted power—loud, unstable, and dangerous. In my case, love isn’t just risky—it’s cursed.

My grandma once warned me: If you fall in love under the wrong circumstances, your power will flip and transform into something darker—something called the Sorce V’ill.

She also told me about Mountain Shiva—the mountain that can reverse the powers of any living creature.

But here's the catch: no one knows how to get there.

And now... I have no choice but to find it.

Before my mom died, she told me about Mountain Shiva—a mountain filled with wild magic and creatures born from darkness.

She warned me: If you go, you’ll die. But if you don’t… you’ll die slowly under the weight of a curse.

Like—seriously?! Why is destiny so rude to me?

I try to use my power for good. I really do.

But sometimes… even a good intention can twist into something terrible.

And I’m starting to wonder: is it the power that’s cursed… or me?

Tribunal's Caril Village POV:

[Shikuro – frustrated, pacing across the ruins, voice tense]

Shikuro: Ugh! I told him—the Tribunal’s Caril is in danger! Where the hell is he?! Benedyx Daelimon, if you can hear me… the Tribunal needs you. We need you.

I’ve searched everywhere. I’m exhausted. But if we don’t find him soon, the Caril will collapse… and we both know what that means.

[He looks up at the storm forming above Mt. Shiva, clenching his fists]

Shikuro: Come on, Benedyx. Don’t make me drag you back myself.”

[Matriaga – breathless, shouting over the chaos]

Matriaga: Shikuro! The Tribunal’s Caril is being evacuated—now! We have no time, let’s move!”

[Shikuro – desperate, eyes searching the distance]

Shikuro: But Benedyx Daelimon… he’s still out there. I know he needs us. I can’t just leave him!

[Matriaga – firm, eyes narrowed]

Matriaga: For what, Shikuro? He’s not here. You saw it yourself. Now let’s go—before it’s too late.

[Shikuro – voice trembling, eyes lingering on the distance]

Shikuro: This is goodbye… for now. Good luck, Benedyx Daelimon. Wherever you are, stay alive.

I’ll keep believing... that we’ll meet again.
