Chapter 1 - 1-Death and Despair.

Anyone could see Sebastian and Elizabeth Hemsworth in their cottage with their 12-year-old son eating dinner at the table. Deep in the Forgotten Forest, the Hemsworth family name goes back to the Chaos era before the war was ever going on. This can be seen back when there was only human conflict.

After two humans got tired of humanity being used as the Gods toys, they decided to take action into their own hands. Thus proclaiming war against the Gods and any beings associated with them. The battle went on for thousands of years after about 58% of humanity was wiped out from the war. Humanity could finally fight back humans and are essentially born with the ability to absorb energy. After thousands of years, all of humanity started to mutate into a more superior race. Due to the spiritual energy the Gods gave off; humanity consumed the spirit energy of a severely injured or dying god. Thus, making a turn about in the war. Most humans would be too afraid to fight back, so they would seek aid from the power and knowledge that The Cathedral withholds on them as being so favored to the gods. However, now the Gods have been on the earth for so long and have killed countless humans. Taking the humans' energy, the gods no longer act or look like their normal selves anymore. They have mutated into beings that can no longer stand that of Gods anymore but more of Monsters.

Sebastian and Elizabeth Hemsworth and their 12-year-old son Vixtõr were the last of their bloodline. Being one of the 12 families from the olden days. The Hemsworth family has fallen well. The Hemsworth family was one of the strongest families in the world. The ideals and strength they held were Undescribable. Not only can an individual absorb a god's spirit energy, but when the energy of a God is absorbed. Said individual can not only have God's strength and abilities. The individual can summon a type of armor, changing their appearance to that of a God, but this feat is not easy to obtain. One must have total control over the power said individual harnesses. It does not matter the number of spirit energy one absorbs. As long as the individual's spirit level is high enough, an individual can consume any god's energy. Even if one dies, one also can pass down the power of said god through the bloodline or by choice.

Each god has its domain. With there being so many gods sometimes, there is conflict. The humans are always caught in the crossfire. Being that there is so much land, some nations are full of humans. Being used as slaves, eaten, or just straight toyed with as if some puppet. In other nations, the god might love and adore the humans, so God protects the humans while other gods have no domain running freely. It can even be seen gods teaching at schools to teach the younger generations to control their powers and energy. If not, humanity wouldn't have a chance.

The land that the Hemsworth live on is called the Forgotten Forest. For a reason as to no one goes there, it gives off the energy of being a dying Forest with the mutated beast and a legend of a ghost. Legend has it that a Guardian beast rules the Forest. So anytime someone goes into the forest, they never return. Over time the first had fewer and fewer visitors slowly starting to be forgotten by time hinge the Forgotten Forest name. The only reason Hemsworth even lived in the forest is to hide their child from The Cathedral. The Hemsworth was once a part of The Cathedral even though they are descendants of the Hemsworth bloodline. The Cathedral thought as this family's blood held the secrets of the world. Alas, The Cathedral tried to trick the Hemsworth family, telling them they would protect their bloodline, but they didn't. Every member Of the Hemsworth family could get their hands on was killed. With this, the Cathedral thought they could gain power and wisdom. That's the reason why Sebastian and Elizabeth have been living in the woods all their life. At first, they were afraid that the Guardian beast would attack them. The Hemsworth had nothing to fear as the Guardian beast once fought alongside the Hemsworth ancestors. The beast was more than happy to help hide the remaining Hemsworth family. For years they have been hidden from the world, well hiding their adolescent son Vixtõr the very last Hemsworth descendent.

The Hemsworth was in the safest place they could be. Or so they thought deep in The Forgotten Forest, the was a slender man dressed in all black taking his broadsword out of its scabbard. His white and gold crucifix pendant dangled from his pocket with his Cardinal number on it a #23 in a Golden inscription. The man was watching and waiting for the right time—what better time to assassinate someone than when they are eating as a family. One is at their most vulnerable moment when with the ones they love. If it wasn't for The Cathedral having so many spies, they might not have been able to locate the Hemsworth. As the man watched and waited, he couldn't help but think ' to be of the Hemsworth family they seem to have lost the way. If this were 100 years ago, most definitely would have certainly killed me as soon as my foot touched the forest.' After about another 3 hours, the man known as Cardinal Angelo, leader of the executioner's branch of The Cathedral. There are currently 12 cardinals, each one a leader of a different branch. The Cathedral at first The Cathedral was a tiny organization, but now The Cathedral is invested in everything. As in schools and shops, really anything that involves human interaction The Cathedral is involved in.

Cardinal Angelo couldn't take waiting any longer, so he was ready to make his move as he picked the locks to the cottage. no one could hear not a sound except Sebastian's snores. The cottage was made from the trees from the forest, so they were sturdy as Cardinal Angelo was trying to approach unnoticed. His stealth was at the top of his game. He could not fully hide his energy, but it was as though he were walking with the shadows themselves. Passing furniture and bedrooms. While finally reaching them, Sebastian and Elizabeth's bedroom. He couldn't help the feeling that someone was watching him. To his knowledge, Everyone was asleep. So he shrugged it off and opened the door. Little did he know Vixtõr was watching his every move. When Cardinal Angelo turned to look around, Vixtõr hurriedly shifting his body not to be seen. As Cardinal Angelo was walking in the bedroom, he made sure he wasn't walking into some trap. Finally, after making sure it was a trap. Cardinal Angelo immediately sliced off Sebastian's head, waking Elizabeth, causing her to scream out of shock and fear. Immediately Cardinal Angelo got mad and backhanded Elizabeth as hard as he could. Causing her to fall backward as blood started flowing from her nose and mouth as she becomes dazed. After taking what felt like a lifetime to regain her senses, Elizabeth looked over at her husband, wanting to run to him. Alas, he was already dead. Elizabeth's eyes got wide as her mind went into overdrive. Where was Vixtõr? Did they already kill him, or was he still alive? Elizabeth immediately, not caring about her own life anymore, stood up, throwing everything around her that she could look at the assassin. She immediately dashed out of the main bedroom to run to see if Vixtõr was still alive, but as she was running. She felt steal swipe across her back as blood flowed so effortlessly out of her back. Elizabeth instantly dropped to the floor, trying to bear the pain as she crawls to see her son. Only to catch a glimpse of him hiding under his bed, crying, trying not to make a sound. Vixtõr was following Cardinal Angelo ever since he stepped into the cottage. He has seen Cardinal Angelo behead his father with a swipe of his sword, instantly killing his father. After that, Vixtõr ran, shaking in fear that he was going to die. Never in his life has he seen a human killed. Now he just watched his father's head get cut off in his sleep. As if that was any better now, he watched his mother constantly get cut by a man in a blacks sword. As the Assassin was slicing away at Elizabeth, she looked at Vixtõr and mouthed one word to him 'Run.' As Vixtõr seen this, his legs had a mind of his own as he got from under his bed it was as if he was running from the devil himself. He was taught at a young age that the gods had destroyed the world but to see his parents be murdered right in front of him, his loving, peaceful life with his family. Was ripped from him as if it meant nothing as Vixtõr was running, he turned around one last time with tears running down his face as he caught the assassin separate his mother's head from her body and pick her head up with his hands. Vixtõr couldn't see the mana face but what he did see was the man Crucifix with the number 23 written in Golden writing. Vixtõr would never forget those numbers for as long as he lived. Those numbers were imprinted into his memory bank now. There was nothing Vixtõr could do anymore but run for now. In his mind, while running away, all Vixtõr could feel was sorrow, fear, and anger as he mumbled, ' I'll get my revenge even if I die trying. He felt emotions he never felt before, so he just kept running and running until he couldn't run anymore.

Back at the cottage, Cardinal Angelo can be seen putting the heads of Sebastian and Elizabeth into a brown sack. After doing so, he grabbed his equipment and left thinking. "Damnit, I shouldn't have let that beat run away. I just couldn't help it when I kill; it's like something comes over me. My whole body is filled with Ecstasy. Vix can't help it. I'll kill some random kid on the way and act like it was the kid. With everything going on in the world, he'll die before he leaves this forest." As Cardinal Angelo left the cottage to return to The Cathedral to report his mission.
