***

It was raining hard that day.

The raindrops were reverberating around the whole city, much less in a small alley.

I was lying down on the ground.

Beaten up.

Bleeding out.

Close to losing consciousness.

Honestly.

This. Was something I've never experienced before.

Everything around me was getting blurry.

The sight of those bastards alone just makes me throw up.

Hah.

They really are still around and laughing.

Laughing at the sight of me, someone who is of no use, to such a world, that was reborn, yet still has the same things it once had. Oppression and Power.

It was 10 Years Ago, when the world first witnessed the world of in its full glory. The very first *Rupture opened up in an unknown place in the Philippines. Nobody knew, that after a full day, the monsters would end up bursting out from the deep jungle, and overrun the country itself, in less than half a day.

The sight after the disaster itself was quite horrendous. However, that's not where it ended just yet. The monsters spread out through the whole world as if it was a plague. Pillaged, just like we humans did to our own.

It took quite a while for humans to awaken though, some having their potential be deemed different from all the rest.

After the humans awakened, came followed by the surging of Towers, or Dungeons for short. There are a lot in each place, all over the world actually.

Those [Towers] sucked in humans that are chosen to fight the monsters, the 'Hunters'.

Time passed by, and as the Hunters triumphed over the [Tower]'s challenge, the humans began a counter - attack, and slowly regaining what was taken from them and lost. Up till this day, the reason the world has become what it is today, was all because of those heroes.

And yet.... their sacrifice also made the world's system unfair. Because from then on, anyone who didn't become 'Hunters' were subjected as mere slaves, even their basic rights were taken from them.

As the 'Hunter's' rule over normal humans increased greatly.....humanity just lost its hope once again.

'I guess....I really have no hope after all.'

'This world has already been unfair to people like me, who are mere slaves. Those who can't even feel a shred of mana.'

Mana: A form of energy that has been circulating through the world. It is a mysterious form of energy that can be used to temper one's body, or cast spells.

'And so, I guess this is it for me....'

"Kekeke, Arceus you little cunt. What? Gonna kick the bucket now?" a sinister laugh fills the air as he said it.

'Ah, so this fucker was here after all' This guy was one of the awakened people; [Hunters], and since I was someone who is an ordinary person, they bullied me, even until death.

"Hey hey, don't die so quickly on me now~! We still have tons of things to do as friends, don't you think?" The voice was echoing around the dark murky alleys, but it was at that moment that I passed out for good, and ended my life pathetically.

"Huh, what a bummer, this dude did not even hit the required climax for this scene to end!" He yelled annoyingly, as he kicks off Arceus's corpse and goes away with his little gang.

Hours passed, and Arceus's corpse was starting to become pale, as he was profusely bleeding through all the bruises that was inflicted upon his body.

People passed by the alley and did not bother to notice, or even report at the very least.

Only because...HE HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE IN THIS WORLD.

In the middle of the night, where the moon shined brightly upon his dead body, a miracle, no, it was like an ungodly hellspawn was being given birth onto this wretched world.

It was an awakening, an unprecedented one. Something that was so odd, since it came only right after his death.

Then suddenly, the blood that was dried up was starting to boil and heat up, his bones were being broken, with such a distinct sound of bones cracking, it would be hard for anybody not to notice, yet the city was empty, so it would be hard for anyone not to hear it clearly.

His dried up blood was then floating in the air, signs of life was being drained around him, as if it were a [Death God's Domain], everything withered, even the most vibrant of plants shriveled in that moment. As the life force was taken away from those, Arceus's corpse was starting to finally get a bit of color, and now regaining his blood.

When suddenly he awakened, along with the sight of a <[System Panel]>.

[Heavenly Demon Awakening]

[Metamorphosis Stage: 40%]

[Description: A gift from the system to the host after cheating death itself. This is made for the host in order to prepare for future changes, especially for the coming of whereas the would be destroyed when that day comes.

[Conditions: UNKNOWN]

[Effects:

As that happened, his body was undergoing serious changes overnight, it was an indescribable, yet gruesome change.

As he noticed the weird looking panel, suddenly, his eyes were stricken with extreme searing pain.

"AAAAAARRRGGHHH!!! AAAAAHHHH!!" he yelled as he was going through the pain, his skin was falling off, his bones being repeatedly destroyed, his teeth were falling out, as if they had nothing to hang on to.

His eyes were melting and falling off, it was at that moment that Arceus himself wished to die so much, the pain couldn't pain compared to when he was being beaten up. It was as worse than having steel needles inserted into your nails.

[Metamorphosis Stage: 60%]

[Metamorphosis Stage: 85%]

[Heavenly Demon Awakening; First Phase ]

Some time passed, and it was finally finished.

It was a long and arduous process, and it was before sunrise, he finally survived through the pain.

With a reborn and refined body, eyes that look like the deep ocean, and a silver - white hair color. Along with marks on his body, like a stigmata. It was at this moment, that everything started to turn around.

It was a sunny day, with a bustling street, filled with awakened people and hunters, only this time, with a atrocious sight to behold.

THE HEAVENLY DEMON HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.
