Humans were living peacefully on earth for millions of years until the day unknown monsters beyond earth attack them. The monsters called themselves Demons.
Demons were on the journey for exploration before coming across Earth. Earth, being filled with mana that strengthens them, sought to have it for themselves and that was how the war began.
When demons came to earth and saw how vulnerable humans were, they pushed forward with the war to clear off humanity.
The war was led by the twelve princes of hell and the ultimate demon lords who ruled alongside the demon king, Lucifer since he was in eternal slumber at that time.
For humans, the fight was a tough one since demons were foggy creatures in their true form except for the ones with transformation abilities.
Many humans lost their lives in the war since they couldn't stand a chance against demons with just their weapons and physical combats. For humans, all hope of them winning the war was lost.
However, at a point when demons were on the brink of wiping off humanity, something happened.
A stranger in black clothing appeared and turned the tides of the war, killing most of the demons. That stranger alone was enough to send terror to the entire demon race.
He fought fiercely with his flaming sword in the war, even killing most of the demon princes. But after the first demon prince who was second in strength to Lucifer was defeated by the stranger, all demons knew no better than to forgo earth and flee to hell for their lives thus ending the war.
After the war ended, the stranger went ahead to grant abilities to humans in case the demons were to return the second time, so they would be able to fight for themselves. He granted many abilities to humans and for humans that were his close followers, he granted them special powers to never teach anyone else apart from their descendants.
By merely looking at him, humans knew he wasn't one of their kind but at the same time couldn't identify what he was.
When humans questioned why he aided them in the war, he only answered that it was for the fulfillment of his promise. Promise to who? No one could tell.
Those special abilities passed down to his close followers all remained with them and their descendants till the present day.
When few humans have successfully acquired these abilities and know how to use them to their full potential, the stranger told them that it was time for his departure since he had fulfilled his promise. He left afterward and no one ever saw him again.
It was even rumored that the stranger left his sword with one of his close followers but the rumor later died down when no one identified the said person.
After the stranger left, the few humans who were granted abilities directly from the stranger came together to think of a way to disperse those abilities and that came to the introduction of ability books.
They wrote down the steps it would take to acquire the ability and had it distributed in books to all humans for free.
It continued this way till humans set up an organization known as the Military, which took many high-level ability books for themselves. This made high-level ability books harder to obtain and the few that were obtainable were sold for a high fortune.
Initially, the military was set up to serve as a training body for generations to come, to enable the new generation to acquire abilities, but when the military acquired strong power from the high-level ability books they took for themselves, they became the ruling bodies.
Well, not everyone was under military rule because the families of the descendants of the close followers yielded strong powers, even stronger than the ones in the military.
Followers were families that refused to share their abilities with the public but rather chose them to only be within their family. So the close follower's descendants were the Followers
In total, the Follower families were ten in number with each having different abilities for themselves.
Out of the ten Follower families, only five joined the military in ruling the world while the remaining five chose to stay hidden with their abilities.
The military's job was to recruit youngsters every year to join military schools and train them for the war they all believed to be coming in later years.
Later on, humans also discovered other planets apart from earth.
On those planets were beasts whose bodies contain mana cores required for the creation of weapons that harm demons
Though demons fled earth in defeat, it doesn't imply that the war was over. When demons return to their planet, hell they aroused their king, Lucifer, from his slumber.
Lucifer was aggravated when he learned what happened while he was asleep. With the stories his subjects told him, a force capable enough to kill his first son with ease was extremely strong.
Lucifer, instead of going to war immediately, decided to stay back and build his army, and that he has been doing for years.
Lucifer, most at times send demons to go monitor how humans were progressing in strength.
Beside the demons Lucifer sent himself, several other demons also escape hell to go experience life on earth and Lucifer was never against this practice since it was also indirectly helping him in achieving his goal, which was to cause chaos on earth.
While Lucifer was building his legion army, humans were also busy training their abilities and creating weapons and armors from the mana cores of crystals from other planets.
Soon the world was gonna be in chaos again after Lucifer was done growing his army.
Though earth seemed peaceful for years now, humans knew it wasn't gonna last forever because after Lucifer was done raising him army, chaos will befall earth again.

The two weeks break given to students at Military base one was over. Old students were expected to head back to the base while recruits will be joining as expected every year.
Before the next morning, Karg already came up with an idea on how to get Alec to study without an I.D number.
Even though Alec didn't go through middle school as every other student did, Karg believed he would be able to handle the heat in the military school.
As for Kim, she attended middle school, and it was there she managed to train her invisibility ability to level 5.
That morning, Kim got all her stuff prepared to set off for her middle school. There, the military will be coming to transport them to their base.
Alec woke up early to get himself prepared for school. Though Karg has given his words, he still was feeling nervous that it wasn't gonna work.

"Seems I'm gonna have to start getting used to this message every morning wake," Alec muttered.
Reaching downstairs the first person Alec saw was Karg.
"Good morning sir," Alec greeted, nervously waiting to hear what he was gonna say.
"I think I found the solution to the I.D problem," Karg said with a smile.
"W-What sir?"
"If you really wanna join school without an I.D number then, there is only one solution which is, you will have to go there as a draft evader," Karg replied with a smile.
But before Alec could open his mouth to ask what he meant, he felt his eyelid starting to turn heavy. He shook his head vigorously to resist what he felt but he was just unable to. Just then the system dropped a message before his eyes,
Ding!

After the last message, Alec dropped into Karg's arms, unconscious.
