Once upon a time, humans are continuously evolving throughout time so with their rapid growth, the Gods of the world has decided to select certain individuals for them to use as their eyes and ears to watch the world in different perspective and to maintain the harmony of the world... and they are known as [Elites].
A superior race of humans having the slight power of the gods but they only have enhanced strength, speed and the affinity of their gods.
To be more precise, My name is Noir, I am an Elite living in a normal house at the City with my family same as me but both of them are retired and their contracted Gods has chosen another vessel. At its maximum, the contract can only last for 100 hundred years since the average lifespan of humans is roughly 73 years old but when the vessel can finally decides to terminate the contract they can end it anytime just like my mom and dad who terminated their contract at the age of 70 years old and now just traveling around the world.
Noir, he has a black, short and messy hair with a gradient color of black transitioning to green and red. A quiet peculiar hair color for a 20 year old but that's perfectly normal to their culture since Noir is already contracted to a God.
[Noir Ravenclaw
Contracted God: Queen Goddess of Night, 'Nyx']
Noir has a slim body at one glance but when you look closely he has a toned skinny body with white skin and a face that is extremely handsome, a rare one to be exact.
He's sitting at the train beside the window while he's wearing a white shirt with a small one word design at it's chest and saying "Destroy," he's also wearing a black military-like slacks and a black rubber shoes, overall he's wearing a perfectly simple outfit appropriate for his age.
While enjoying his time by just looking out at the window with a poker face as well as a completely blank mind, he's completely relaxed. But the young girls on the train are saying otherwise, they are all looking at Noir with a look of seduction and lust, well after seeing such a handsome face who can act naturally in the situation, an eye catching face they thought.
On his right hand, there's a red envelope with a small letter that he's holding and in that letter it says:
[Moving Up Ceremony]
*Ding. Dong. Ding*
A loud sound of a bell rung inside the train to signal everyone riding that they have stopped to another station in which Noir's stop. He stood up and reaches his another luggage at the top and immediately walk at the aisle where many young girls are looking at him with their blushed faces and shy look.
[Omg! He's so handsome!]
[I wonder how old he is!]
[Does he have a girlfriend?]
While walking with a nonchalant face, he stepped out of the train as he instantly move towards the escalator to go outside the train. So right at that instant when he got out of the tunnel, a strong gust of wind greeted him aling with the graceful movements of the trees and flowers that are surrounding the station.
*Inhale. Exhale*
Ahhh... this polluted air of the city is truly disgusting. But we really can't to anything about it. Now where is it again?
The head of Noir is looking everywhere for a certain point where a special taxi will fetch Noir to go directly at location of the moving up ceremony.
He then look at the latter he got and walk towards the direction written there, he takes many alley, walking left to right and finally arrived at a dark place where many drinking pubs are everywhere and finally he saw the black post that is described at the letter.
The instructions are clear, wait under the black post until a black taxi arrives to get you.
And so he waited, and waited and waited. His boredom is evident to his face while sitting above his luggage and waiting under the post.
Argh! How long am I still going to wait?! Its been an hour since I got here.
While completely blaming the late arrival of the taxi, a loud honk of a car startles him.
"Oh god that almost killed me!" He said loudly.
Until the long awaited black taxi arrives like a bubble that completely pops up right infront of him without even noticing if it weren't for the loud honk, his face completely changes, faster than a blink of an eye, he immediately stood up and hold on to his luggage while his faces is giving a smile like a child waiting for their present.
Finally... its here! The Mysterious Taxi. I only heard it from my parents that this taxi has a mysterious power to completely conceal it presence and blend in the environment so it can move swiftly.
Before Noir can say anything, the taxi driver immediately got out of his seat and yelled at Noir for being late, a complete opposite reaction of a normal taxi driver, instead of being sorry he blames Noir instead.
"You god damn piece of sh*t! I've been waiting here for a long time! You're super late so I just grab a food somewhere. Put your bag at the trunk and let's get moving you idiot!"
Hearing that, the face of Noir changes his expression to a dumbfounded look towards the taxi driver. And without even noticing, he just realized that he's putting his luggage at the trunk behind the taxi.
Why is he getting angry?! I'm the one who waited, the call time was 7PM and it's already 8PM.
But then, Noir has no other choice but to just do what the driver is saying and permanently seated on the back seat. He put on the seatbelt near the window until he sees something weird to the seat beside the driver.
It's looks like a something big and being covered by a black jacket but when you focus to it you can hear it's slight and faint snoring.
Who is this guy? Well... who cares! I'll just seat here comfortably, that guys must be tired.
With his quick understanding with the situation, as well as the driver's silence as he instantly enters the car, he never said anything since then but I cam see that he's looking straight at me with the rearview mirror, I'll just look away.
And so, the driver inserted the key to the car and right at that instant where he twisted it to start the engine again, the normal sound of engine hummed and white mist covers the entire car that made it invisible to human eyes.
Mist? Wait... its [God Magic], having this kind of concealment magic is truly convenient—
But mid sentence, his train of thoughts was cut off by the voice of the driver looking at him at the rearview mirror.
"It's not [God Magic]... unlike you guys, I'm just a normal humans serving the Elites. This Black Taxi was specifically built to conceal the movements of the Elite while traveling. In short, this taxi has an artifact that can conceal it."
How the hell he know my thoughts? And wait? He's a normal human? I've some rumors that there are some selected human working for the Elites but I didn't know that they actually existed... My parents never told me about them either.
Later that night, after the driver finally maneuvered the taxi towards the direction where the ceremony will be held. They are crossing the road beside the mountain and something peculiar happens.
Noir is overlooking at the window while feeling the calm ambiance of the road while passing at the mountainside, he's now thinking the aim of the Ceremony.
According to my dad, the moving up ceremony is being held to a random and isolated place yearly, it's lucky that the ceremony will be in my own country, Philippines, many new comers will be there including the high officials to bless us to enter the real world. Because in every story, there's always a villain and the Elite Society calls them [Omega], a group of Genetically modified humans but it's still unclear to me why they do that to their... body——
In that second and full throttle of his train of thought, the covered guy sitting beside the driver suddenly spoke out of thin air.
"Stop the car." With those words, the driver immediately comprehend the situation and stop the car at the road.
The loud creaking sound of tires due to friction with the hard ground echoes in the who mountain side.
The guy uncovered himself and Noir can see a loose clothing and a messy long hair too that is almost covering his eyes.
He got out of the car while holding a long stick but when Noir look closely, its a black katana with a sheath.
And all of a sudden, something crushed few meters ahead of us, he instantly hold on to the handle of his sword as the dust from the crash site is decreasing, all three of us did not make any sound and just waiting completely on guard until...
"Go... I'll follow you from behind, I'll finish this quickly."
And right at that instant, the driver steps on the gas pedal to move away from the scene while evading the mysterious 'thing' that landed infront of us but with that mere second, a humanoid figure appeared with its flexible body and tries to jump at the moving car.
With the fast eyes of Noir, he can clearly see the physical appearance of the humanoid that is rushing into them. It has a pale black skin with a red eyes, sharp claw and teeth like a shark and in that moment, Noir finally figured out the identity of the man with a peculiar body.
"He's a member of Omega, the archenemy of Elites!"
