POWER SYSTEM

In the world there are two types of spirits. Normal spirits and Demon spirits. Some people are what's called a Spirit Object user. Spirit objects can be used for attacking, defending and transportation. A spirit object can be leveled up. The way this works is simple. At birth each person is granted a spirit weapon but only a few people actually ever find out or even get to use it, even those who do usually only ever reach level 3-4 you can train to use these spirit weapons by increasing your spiritual power which also increases life span. To train spiritual power the user must learn to control it. Controlling it can be used to focus the spiritual power in the eyes for better vision or the brain for better reflexes and faster thinking. Once the spirit object user learns to control their spirit they hit level 1 which grants them their spirit weapon. Training of spirit weapons or techniques lead to higher levels, each time the user levels up their spirit gets stronger and gains stronger abilities or enhancements to existing abilities. The highest level is 10. When level 10 is reached the user's power is enough to destroy planets. In 4.5 billion years of the earth's existence only 5 users have ever reached level 10.The humans refer to them as the 5 gods, the 5 users all lived in the same time period so it is believed that they worked together, they all lived around 3500 B.C. so there was minimal evidence of their existence, such as writing talking about planets they destroyed which were later proven true by scientist. In the writings it also states they were in a planetary war which leads the humans to believe that other planets have life and they also possess spiritual powers. It is also believed the 5 gods died protecting earth meaning there were other level 10 or high level spirit users (no information on that was found so that part is mainly speculation.)

CHAPTER 1  

What Should I do!?

The sun had just begun its ascent, casting a soft golden glow across the horizon and painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. The front gate of Shirokane Academy sparkled, its iron bars adorned with delicate engravings that glistened in the dawn's embrace.

Yuki Sato is a 16 year old student. He has messy red hair and stands at 5'7.

Kurai Yamagura is also 16 and attending the same school. He has black messy hair and stands at 5 '10.

"Yo, Kurai over here!" Yuki says from a distance waving at Kurai as Kurai enters through the front gate. Kurai looks around for a second "Hm..?" Kurai then spots him crowded by people entering the school building. "Oh hey what's up Yuki" Yuki waits for Kurai, once Kurai walks over to Yuki they begin to walk to class. "So what'd ya get on the test from last week?" Yuki asks, he smiles at Kurai as he waits for my response "i got an eighty n-" Kurai said before abruptly stopping. Kurai dropped to his knees and held his chest in pain. "K-Kurai.. You okay? Kurai" Yuki stammered. Kurai was in too much pain to listen to the words being said by Yuki. Kurai clenched his teeth and gulped. After about three seconds the pain stopped, he began to breathe heavily. Kurai looked up slowly and saw a crowd of people looking at him as if he was some kind of freak. "What a weirdo" one of the people in the crowd said before walking off, the rest of the people in the crowd followed. Yuki stayed and placed his hand out to help Kurai get up. "Thanks.. Yuki" Kurai says. "No problem bro, you feel okay now?" Yuki replies and looks at Kurai with curiosity. "Y-yeah i think so.." Kurai stammers in reply. Yuki and Kurai arrive at the front door of their first period classroom. Yuki gets a notification on his phone. "Hm..?" Yuki says below his breath. Yuki checks his phone, his expression changes from a playful and friendly one to a serious one. "Come on we'll be late to cl-... what..?" kurai says in response to Yuki's shift in emotion. "I-.." Yuki says. He thinks for a moment and looks at Kurai. I need to leave, right now." Yuki adds on. "What..? leave? We have school.." Kurai replies with a mix of curiosity and concern. Yuki hands his bag to Kurai and runs off "It's urgent.. GIVE ME MY BAG WHEN I'M BACK!" Yuki yells, Kurai takes the bag and walks into class feeling worried about Yuki.

Yuki runs to a nearby abandoned factory. "HELLO!? I'M HERE!" Yuki yells as he arrives. A tall man named Renjiro Murasaki opens the half broken door, Renjiro is wearing old brown wild west style clothing, A menacing skull mask and a brown leather cowboy hat. "Yuki my man!" Renjiro yells with a western accent before playfully smacking Yuki on the shoulder "Come inside we were waiting for ya!" Renjiro adds on.

 Yuki walks into the dark and decrepit factory, its shattered windows and dirty walls adding to the eerie atmosphere. In the center sat four other individuals, all wearing the same skull masks. One of them, seated on a throne of stone, was their leader, Yami no Kage. "Here ya go, put it on and take a seat" Renjiro says, handing Yuki a skull mask. Yuki sits down and Yami no Kage stands up from the throne.

 "Let's begin Shadow Skulls. The reason I called an emergency meeting is because there is a major threat to us. Shadow Skulls. A long time ago there was a demon spirit, not just any demon. It was a level 10 demon. Long ago he lost to the 5 gods and they traded their spirits to trap the demon's spirit in a locked dimension for five thousand five hundred years with no means of escape. but that all happened exactly five thousand five hundred years ago which means the demon has returned, this is not only bad for this stupid planet but more importantly it's a threat to us… to me-" Yami no kage explains with a deep menacing voice, enough to send a shiver down anybody's spine. as Yami no Kage spoke, Yuki interrupted him abruptly 

"How do you know this exactly..?" Yuki asks . Everyone looks at Yuki with disgust for interrupting the leader.

 "Don't interrupt my speech, I'll let it slide this once but next time you do.. I won't hesitate to kill you. To answer your childish act, It's because of my grandfather. He had my abilities meaning he could live longer than most beings, he lived for about six thousand years, he told me about the demon and i know that it's true because a few minutes ago every user spirit felt an image of the demon's face flash in their eyes. I instantly knew this was no other than the same demon I'd been warned about. As I was saying before, The demon has been set free. Since the demon's soul was trapped it means his body dissolved after time, once his soul was set free he only had about 5 minutes to find a person to possesses. The thing is that he can't just possess anyone since most people have a spirit object in them. It means that there is no room for the demon's spirit, unless somebody was born with no spirit object. If there was somebody who had no spirit object It'd mean that there is room for another spirit. Luckily for us, I know who the demon chose. The only person in the last one thousand years without a spirit object. Kurai Yamagura, a student, attends the same school Yuki does. So all we need to do in order to destroy that demon is destroy Kurai Yamagura." Yami no Kage explains.

The second Yuki hears that Kurai is their target he clenches his teeth and fist and looks down, his heartbeat raced, his arms shook. "Is there something you need to say?" Yami no Kage says as he faces Yuki. "Answer. Now." Yami no Kage adds. "H-huh, n-no of course not.. I- i agree…" Yuki's heartbeat races as he looks at Yami no Kage with pure fear in his eyes. "What should i do!?" Yuki thinks to himself.
