Synopsis

Chapter 1 - From 'Humble' Beginnings.

n a parallel earth, Demons, Angels and Gods are found to be real, with the secret out, the respective races challenge Humans for control of Earth.

Cultivation is vastly available in this world as long as you are able to pay for the materials to see it through, Demon's and Angels have the advantage on this front as they have natural abilities and cultivation methods while most of the human cultivation methods are unnatural and cause side effects.

Some Angels are against the warring and have given select human's angel cultivation methods so that they can rapidly gain strength to stop the wars, during this period of warfare, half-breeds began to appear through out the world. Human-Demons, Angel-Humans and even Angel-Demons, these races appear to have the strengths of both of their parent races with less weaknesses in comparison.

Our story begins with a now 20 year old Issac, A demon- human hybrid who has recently started running a quite successful bar, the bar exists for two reasons, the money needed for cultivation methods and a final one....

"Is he going to be here today?"

A young woman eagerly asked the bartender who just shrugged his shoulders in response, muttering" The Boss shows up when he wants, he rarely takes woman back with him, I won't get your hopes up."

The woman scowled at the bartender and said" I'm Elizabeth Shawcross, the daughter of the Ceo of Shawcross Industries, I can get what ever man I want including your boss."

As if to answer her challenge, the sound of heavy foot steps echoed through out the now silent bar, a tall man with broad shoulders slowly descended the stairs, each step challenging the woman directly. The cold air of nobility, the will to suppress those in front of him appeared instantly as he reached the final step, small wisps of cold energy gently flew around his body, their blue colour reflecting off of the man's white hair.

His absent, cold blues eyes scanned the bar, stopping on the woman for a few seconds before moving on, scanning the room once more, his eyes stopped on a woman drinking alone in the corner. As if now only have gained a meaning to his life, the man walked towards the bar with purpose, he said to the bartender"Get me a rum and coke and whatever the woman in the booth is having."

The bartender responded with a quick "Yes boss" and he got to work immediately, within a minute both drinks were prepared and Issac approached the woman sitting on her own.

With a cold look in his eye he looked over her, her short brown her barely reached her shoulders, she had blue eyes that were filled with defeat as if she bad finally lost everything worth anything to her. From what he could tell while she was sitting down, the woman had a modest body, she wasn't really to Issac's taste however only one thing truly mattered, looking into the woman's green eyes Issac asked " Are you the Angel I'm waiting for. Mary Wandefell?"

The woman looked up, a small tear followed down the side of her cheek as she said" I'm indeed the angel you are looking for, can we get this over with?"

Issac let out a small mocking smile beofre saying" Drink, you are going to need it, have you eaten? You will need energy, the process will be a long and drawn out own, if you pass out mid way, you will die and I will not get what I need."

The woman retorted with " I haven't eaten, it doesn't matter to me ifI die, why should I care if you don't get what you need? After all you are a filt"

Before she could finish speaking, one of the wisps of ice turned into a solid ice spear and slammed into the woman's shirt pinning her to the chair, Issac turned to his waitress and signalled her to come to his table, afraid the waitress came as quickly as she could, Issac turned to her and said" Get the cooks to make her the Lasagne and Pasta dishes, make sure they are made the priority, is that understood?"

The waitress nodded her head before she could turn around Issac shouted" Bring the food upstairs when it is done."

He then clicked his fingers and the spear returned to a small wisp and began flying around his body, turning to the woman he said" Drink that then follow me upstairs. Get security to remove this Elisabeth woman, her kind are not welcome in my bar."

Elisabeth screamed" When my father hears about this, this bar will be torched within seconds, he is the Ceo of the"

Issac disappeared from where he was standing, he reappeared next Elisabeth and drove a knife through her hand, pinning it to the bar, he then turned to her with a smile on his face and said" My life up until now has been a nightmare, you have had everything given to you by your family, if you show up here again or your father truly comes to attack then he will end up like the Zhang family, is that understood?"

Issac turned to the Angel once more saying" Go upstairs" Once he saw the Angel down her drink and head upstairs, he turned to the bartender he said" Get security to escort this woman out of the bar, break a few limbs if you have to, from now on anyone from the Shawcross Industries is to be refused at the door,. Sorry for entertainment tonight, a free round on my as an apology."

Issac then greeted a few guest before following the Angel upstairs to his bedroom/office...
