Having just finished his awakening Levia opens his eyes finding himself in his cellar.
Noticing his clothes were missing as if they were burnt off, leaving him completely exposed to the cold environment of his room. Although being seemingly unaffected Levia stands up stretching out his long limbs…
Wait long limbs?
Looking at Levia now, you could tell he's gone through a multitude of changes.
The most drastic change being that he wasn't a short boy anymore, if originally he was around five foot nine, he would now reach around six foot.
His malnourished body now seemingly gone, and with it replaced by a still sickly pale but lean muscular physique, his body having toned muscles in places where he was only bone before.
Levia's ashen hair flowing down past his emerald green eyes, illuminated with a soft and enchanting green glow. His eyes of which if you stared in long enough you'd be overcome with instinctual fear, for the thought of being swallowed up by the predator standing in-front of you.
"The eyes being a window to the soul" give away the monster lurking within Levia, even if his appearance show that of a beautiful and well sculpted young man.
Stretching for a second Levia thinks to himself that he feels good, in fact the best he's ever felt.
Walking over to the mirror Levia glances at his reflection, a wide grin appearing on his beautiful face revealing his sharp and predator like canines.
"What a pleasant surprise, I don't look like a slum-rat anymore"
{New notifications}
Hearing a familiar voice Levia breaks free from his fascination, and looks at the corner of his vision. Seeing an icon alerting him that there are new notifications, Levia instinctually knew how to access them.
Without wasting a beat, Levia sent his consciousness inside his souls abyss.
Seeing the familiar abyssal sea he feels a sort of affinity to the still surface of the water he stands upon. The orb that was in his abyss, he now knows it to be his actual soul. Peering inside of the insidious black orb Levia sees the notifications now.

As Levia's eyes glazed over his status his grin only deepened, everything was perfect.
Levia now realizes everything that he couldn't piece together before his evolution, this place he was in being his souls abyss, and everything he went through were his trials and awakening…
***
15 years before, the world as everyone knew it seemingly came to an end in the span of a week…
In the beginning of it, on the first day, humans all around the world were consumed by a warm light, awakening special powers and abilities. These logic defying abilities went against everything science had taught. The human race was overjoyed that the seemingly impossible was now possible. Flight, fire breathing, control over animals, all of these talents seemed impossible, yet they were now normal for the luckier individuals.
These were made possible by a special awakening of humans innate bloodline dubbed "Blood Lineages."
Yet not all humans had these bloodlines and the number grew even scarcer after the events on the fourth day…
These bloodlines each came from different Gods, and there could be more than one person being in the bloodline of one God. Typically the more powerful the God the less individuals who held their blood.
Groups of individuals who held the same blood, often of more powerful Gods, formed clans. The more prominent clans being, The Rising Sun clan, Falling shadows Clan, and the Sword and Shield clan. These groups held incredibly powerful bloodline holders, and more often than not, would wage war against each other to gain more territory. Oddly enough these three clans seemingly appeared out of nowhere the same day the bloodlines showed up, almost as if they had prior knowledge of the cataclysmic events about to unfold….
Not all blood was good though, and there were many Evil Gods. These beings often had cults in their name, and made their holders commit many atrocities.
Bloodlines are ranked from, heaven being the weakest, and deity, being the strongest. However there had been very few deity holders in history, all of which were in the main clans.
The blood ranks go in order from: heaven, demonic, and deity. With which heavens was the most common.
The three clans held holders of the deity and demonic type, which led to their rise in power.
And by the second day, portals around the world in the more populated areas started showing up, these portals were named "Spatial Breaches."
At first the breaches in space just stayed there, silently, doing absolutely nothing, and humans from all over travelled just to see them.
All throughout the second and third day the portals just lingered with no signs of activity. Yet by the fourth day everything came crashing down.
The breaches all around the world opened, only to let loose horrible and extreme conditions, taking the lives of many humans in the vicinity of them, and decreasing the amount of holders by more than a quarter.
In some places the breaches let loose blizzards and ice storms, whereas In other places tsunamis and floods came rushing out.
These devastating conditions destroyed cities and killed off millions of lives, yet this wasn't even the worst to come.
After the murderous conditions, the portals let loose one final disaster. The horrifying and disturbing beings knows as dwellers started pooling out of the breaches, each dweller matching the conditions they were let loose in.
Throughout the fifth through sixth day humans were hopeless and struggling to survive the onslaught of brutal attacks caused by the dwellers, something needed to be done, and fast.
The three main clans decided that they had no choice but to band together and fight off the invasions. Thus the war of blood began, lasting just a day unlike other wars, the human alliance managed to push back the dwellers to their regions and seal the portals, although none of it came without paying heavy prices…
Every clan lost many of their peoples lives and ended up just disappearing without a trace, nobody knows what happened to them, but there have been rumors that they've gone into hiding to amass more power and forces.
After the war ended the world and its ecosystem had drastically changed, the human population being down by half and the holder population deprived of around half too.
The changes in the land being incredibly dangerous.
There are now deadly dweller infested regions of the world with terrible environments, like the crimson sea which was formed in the wake of a demonic dweller and a deity holder in battle battle.
The poisonous rainforests that formed in major cities, was another of the drastic changes, and even more than those, however other regions are barely explored due to the utter danger they produce.
The world had become violent and deadly, safe zones were erected throughout the world to protect the common folk and the weaker holders. These safe zones were being protected by powerful individuals holding "royal bloodlines."
These so called Royal Bloodlines were merely those of which that held stronger blood, and created that name to bully those of impure blood.
Humans who held impure blood were forced to work laborious and extensive hours just to bring food home,and were pushed into the slums if they couldn't afford living in the better parts.
This was the fate that beheld Levia's parents,
although he didn't know how they truly died, he was only told that they passed away in a working
accident, which never did sit right with him.
***
Traveling forward in time to the point where Levia is now.
Taking one final glance at his status before closing it Levia says in an eerily excited tone.
"Now, it's time"
Hearing a knock on his cellar door, Levia throws on a pair of his boxers, and white jeans that were ripped all over due to their extended use.
Walking up to the cellar door Levia pulls it open without a second thought, as if expecting guests.
"Hello"
Levia says with a smile devoid of warmth, instead giving off a sense of foreboding.
Two men and a woman were standing outside his door, all dressed in clothing unfit for the slums, Levia knows them to be pure bloods, from the bloodline school.
Having heard rumors Levia now understands them to be true, there is a school for holders, to train them, and teach them how to better control and make use of their abilities.
A school hidden from the sight of the common masses, and is only known and available to those that wield bloodlines.
Levia knew however that this school has a way to track and take holders away, he figured this knowledge out in the past from putting pieces together.
"Can I help you?…"
Levia's voice was filled with a coldness that made the three humans shudder, without skipping a beat or revealing their emotions however, one of the men introduces themselves.
A shorter younger looking man with brown curly hair and fringes that cover their bright blue eyes.
"Hiya sorry to interrupt you during your day, however we felt the presence of a new bloodline holder and immediately came over."
"you wouldn't happen to know who that would be, would you?"
The young man's voice filled with arrogance and annoyance
"Hmmm… that may or may not be me, Not sure…"
Immediately choosing to toy with the young male due to his dislike for their tone.
"He might be here…"
"Not sure.."
Levia's grin widens, playing childish games was kind of entertaining to him, although rather boring In the end.
"How did you know the holder was a he?.."
The brown haired male says with a hint of even more annoyance in his tone
"Oh? Did I say such a thing?"
"I don't recall…"
Now visibly getting annoyed the young man was about to speak "you impu-"
Before the young male finished his sentence the lone female stepped forward, stopping his words before they came out.
A mature woman stepped up, her long raven black hair swaying as she moved, covering her purple eyes that were seemingly glowing under her silver rimmed glasses
"Levia Ashton, this is your residence is it not?"
Without skipping a beat
"Of course it is"
A cheerful tone emanating off of Levia's every word, drowned out by his ominous smile.
"Then you are the holder of the bloodline felt here are you not?"
The woman questioned him inquisitively
"That would be me"
Levia said this without wasting any time, only to piss the young male off even more. Levia was toying with him, a crooked smile on his lips.
"What might you need me for?"
Although he already knew, an answer would help him move forward from their conversation.
"We would like to invite you to the bloodline school, an academy for newly awakened men and women. To hone your abilities and fight the dwellers in their regions"
The woman explained the situation to Levia
"And do I get anything out of joining this academy of yours?"
Grinning even wider than before, Levia was planning to get everything he could from this opportunity.
"Three meals a day, as well as lodging, and you can also choose your courses to best suit what you want to learn in the academy, be it survival or combat amongst many other choices "
Levia rather likes the idea of the academy, it would take him from the slums to an entirely different environment, one that's clean and has food every day, warm lodging too.
All sounding like paradise as opposed to where he is now..
"When do I start?"
Without a second thought Levia accepted, anything but where he was now.
Not knowing what his future held Levia only had one thought to himself. "how much fun can I have…"
And with that, the woman broke his train of thought
"Right now"
The three people took Levia to a vehicle out the front of his cellar, all the while getting watched and eyed by the slum rats wondering what the commotion is.
Upon getting in the transport, Levia thought to himself before they took off
"This is going to be fun"
And with that they headed off, for the prestigious academy of bloodline holders, Levia unaware of what his future held from this point on, but he knew slightly that is was going to entertain him very.. very much..
