"I understand..."
In a stormy night, at the park, a boy in his school uniform sitting on the swing; soaking in the rain. The phone in his hand hanged up and did not receive any further attention from the boy, leaving it to soak.
As the lightning splashed followed by thunderclap, terrified eyes of his mother and sister splashed in his mind.
Sadness in his heart haunt him in his solitude.
The boy stared at sky with close eyes, his face was washed by the rain along with his pure and clear tears.
As heavy as the raindrops, the boy shed blood as his tears... and when he opened his eyelids, his majestic eyes were already glowing. It was glowing and shinning like how the moon and gem reflects light due its unique irises.
The boy stood up as if he had made a decision. His sorrowful expression slowly became blank; slowly one of his flamesouls emits purple flame.

"And that's how the self proclaim "Harmless Lonely Gloomy Guy", Giljen Kazumi you knew." The lady said with a carefree smile on her face. "Because I was there." she muttered as her eyes became downcast behind her eyeglasses.
A pregnant teenager rubbing her tummy who was listening to this story, suddenly, shed tears. She may not there when all of that transpired to Giljen, still, she understood that kind of sadness and rejection.
The loneliness that ceased when Giljen extended his hand pulling her out from despair.
"I'm home."
A voice of a male resonates around and reaches theirs hearing range.
The pregnant teenager wipe her tears off.
"What's wrong? You guys look like you just finished watching a sad story drama."
Giljen asked with a straight face.
The lady and the pregnant teenager exchanged glanced and giggled.
"What? Did guys won a lottery?" Giljen asked with a straight face, as he pushed back his eyeglasses' bridge like a cool-otaku.
"Oh! You think so?" The Lady asked in her seductive voice.
"Nevermind..." Giljen reply and approached the pregnant teenager. He kneeled his right knee and grasped her tummy like he's saying: I'm home.

"Haaay..."
As I throw myself onto my bed, I began to wondered this kind of life is not bad at all. I decided to move here and transfer school due to a peculiar matter that a normal person would not be able to believe.
I'm a monster, yeah... that's just how my family perceived me now. I can't blame them for being terrified around me, hence I therefore conclude to leave and live with Mozeth-nee-san, who's now my big sister and guardian.
I can still remember that time when loneliness haunt me in my solitude. I worked so hard and throw myself into part-time jobs, just to shake off these disappoinment in my heart.
To pay my family for taking care of me, I left the seventy percent of my earnings along with my farewell letter in their slumbering and made a deal with Mozeth-nee-san. And that deal settled all the matters that threatened my family smoothly, brutality, and mercilessly.
Mozeth-nee-san, rather Mozeth Vladcruz is a jaxmith like me. She taught me a lot of things that a normal person cannot do such as magic and alchemy.
Honestly, I was quite stunned and astonished with all the things she did that only exist in the manga and nobles... in the eyes of a normal person at least.
Curiosity stirred up in my heart and mind. I sat up and closed my eyes; grasping the mana that said to be dwelling in my body.
I just keep my focus on, ignoring my surroundings; imagining the flow of the water and air. However, the only things that appeared is this blank window-like before me.
This blank window before me is called nilucis. Unlike Mozeth-nee-san's, there's nothing more about my nilucis, it's just blank that looks like a window-system in the manga.
As I keep staring at my nilucis, I felt like I'm starting at the night starry sky.
The transparent blank window slowly became detailed that looks like an actual starry sky.
