It all began when I first encountered him. He stood out from the rest, exuding a sense of superiority and ominousness. The way he looked at me and others as if we were beneath him, was intimidating.
We were seated in a fast-food restaurant and I asked my system to gather information about him, but to my surprise, it took longer than usual to process.
He rose from his seat to order our food and I finally received his information, which left me feeling frightened and stunned.

'What do you mean 'exiled god'? Is he not a human being? And why is my clearance level insufficient? I thought you said I could access information on any living creature, even a deity,' I telepathically inquired.
'Normally, that wouldn't be the case for information on deities. However, he is beyond even that,' my system responded.
'What do you mean 'he is beyond even that? Is there someone above deity?'
'Insufficient clearance level!'
Fear took hold of me and I felt an overwhelming urge to ask him if he was indeed a deity or something else. But I couldn't bring myself to voice my question. Every time I saw him, I was reminded of the warnings I had received, telling me not to gather information on him as it was disrespectful.
I then looked at him again, and again got surprised as his domineer changed and he was flirting with the lady who was responsible for taking our orders. Even though she was skinny, she was a stunning beauty.
I requested to assess her, the same way I did to Kael, and this time too, the content of her information made me speechless.

There are three categories of devils: ordinary devils, which have monstrous appearances and are born in the outer ring of Hell; ranked devils, who are born in the middle ring of Hell and possess exceptional intelligence and strength in human form; and finally, Royal devils, of which only one has been recorded in history. They are rumoured to possess power surpassing even SSS-ranked Aurors and have striking features such as horns and wings, making them the most revered of all devil classes.
'Ok, now, what the heck is happening, one is a deity or someone above that, and the other is a royal devil'
With my heightened senses, I overheard him asking a Royal devil out on a date, which she eagerly accepted. Overwhelmed by fear and shock at what I was witnessing, I remained seated in silence, ate my meal, and retreated to my dorm room.
"I don't know what to do. If I tell anyone that I saw a deity out on a date with a devil, no one will believe me. And if I do, my secret may be exposed, which could have major consequences for my career", I muttered.
That night, I was unable to get any sleep, the shock was greater than anything I had ever experienced. After much contemplation and self-reflection, I came to the conclusion that the only way to survive was to become stronger.
Additionally, I doubted that the deity and devil would have taken notice of my system, so I decided to keep a low profile and train in the dark.
However, things were not so simple. The academic administrator was a contracted devil, and the woman who had captured my heart was deeply in love with Adam Ivanov, the student council president, who was partially similar to Kael.
And when an attempt was made on Ruby's, the Royal devil's, life, I knew that things were going to get complicated.
"Can you hide my presence from deities?" I asked my system.
'As a copy of a deity's powers, it is possible if you maintain a distance of at least four kilometres from them,' it responded.
During my free time, I kept an eye on Ruby as she recovered. Although many visitors were expected, only Kael came to see her. I observed that Kael treated all beings, regardless of race, appearance, or wealth, equally. The next morning, he left a bouquet of red roses for her. However, when Mr Karl Fischer approached her ward, I could sense his sinister motives, but I was powerless against the powerful beings present.
As he brushed Ruby's hair away from her face, a dark aura surrounded his hands. His gaze was fixated on her abdomen as he extended his hands to inject the aura. A black, metallic-scaled dragon then emerged from the bouquet at Ruby's side and targeted Kael, ready to tear him apart. However, the dragon's attack was interrupted by the arrival of Adam, the president of the council.
Karl left with a frustrated and irritated expression on his face, ignoring Adam. After Karl was gone, Adam likely lingered for a moment before disappearing himself, casting a stern gaze upon the bouquet before he left.
Even though I didn't know shit about what was happening, I played along being totally unaware of the situation.
And just like that, here I am now.
'What in the mother of fucking hell?', I only had one thought in my mind, what was I witnessing right now.
I found myself facing twelve regal demons as they proclaimed Ruby as their queen and effortlessly dispatched Kael. Despite their claim, I suspected Kael was still alive, and I was proven right when he reappeared before the last devil who was tasked with disposing of his body.
What I witnessed next was the most terrifying sight I had ever seen. Kael's left eye turned a striking, fiery red, while his right eye became a captivating, cobalt blue. With just a touch of his finger, he stopped the devil's attack and crushed the life out of him by clutching his shoulder.
The surroundings distorted as if the world itself was malfunctioning, and then both Kael and the devil vanished into nothingness.
