Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: So, what do you say, Ezekeil?

It was a quiet night as time flew by everyone in the city area was going on about their business without a care in the world, people rushing to go home... some working overtime, while others were home spending time with their families. 

But not everyone was enjoying their night, for there was one individual who had enough with his life and wanted to put an end to it all.

There he was on top of a building standing alone gazing down onto his eminent doom...Frustrated and in his twenties with black, brown hair that's disorganized with brown greenish eyes wearing a suite partly buttoned... reflecting on what brought him to this moment.

...

"I'm sorry mom..." (?)

"Dad..."(?)

"And the guy who's gonna have to clean me up in the morning..."(?)

"Heh..." (?)

...

"Make sure to land one your head, Ezekeil! It's a swift and short descent, after all. Wouldn't want you surviving now, would we? It'd defeat your purpose of jumping to your end." (???)

"Huh?" (Ezekeil)

Turning towards the voice Ezekeil spotted something otherworldly, he saw a creature sitting next to him but that wasn't what shocked him.

The creature or to be more specific... A female Nephilim sat carefree swinging her legs and her attire was armored, but in a casual dress like outfit. She had to pair of wings one was black, grey in color while the other one was white, silver in color truly befitting of her physique.

Her body was like that of an hourglass perfectly balancing each other, her eyes... it was crimson red, while her hair was a mixture of red and purple. No matter how Ezekeil looked at her... she appeared like an alluring goddess only to be seen or heard of in a fairytale.

"Like a moth to a flame", he couldn't help but be Irresistibly and dangerously attracted to her. 

"Whoa!!!" (Ezekeil)

"Who are you?" (Ezekeil)

'And when did she even get beside me?' (Ezekeil)

"Hehe! Oh, Ezekeil, there will be ample opportunity for me to reveal my true identity in due time." (???)

she chuckles and giggles tilting her head looking up to Ezekeil. Amused by his question.

"H-how do you know my name?" (Ezekeil)

Ezekeil was already hysterical at the situation at hand with the Nephilim in front of him, for he never in his life would have expected to come across such entity in his whole lifetime. He tried numerous times to find faults in what he was witnessing and experiencing but he couldn't as the proof sat right beside him.

But hey... at least she didn't know his name he thought, how wrong that turned out to be.

"I possess knowledge far beyond your name, you see." (???)

She replied amusingly as if she already knew of his response.

 "Poor unfortunate Ezekeil..." (???)

"I know about your high school sweetheart, from the both of you graduating collage together..." (???)

"Landing jobs, everything seemingly falling into place for the two of you. You even went ahead and recommended her to your boss! Oh, the irony!" (???)

She laughed and snickered at him; Ezekeil felt a burn rage building up from what she had said to him, but what could he do... all she did was tell the truth. And the truth is a dagger to the heart.

"..." (Ezekeil)

"Well, I'm sure you recall the rest of the story, don't you?" (Ezekeil)

"..." (Ezekeil)

Complete and utter silence came from Ezekeil... for he started to get flashbacks of what happened before. He remembered seeing the love of his life in the arms of another man but not just any man... it was his boss of all people she was with hugging and embracing him while entering his office.

"From that point on, everything took a sharp turn for the worse... even your colleagues, began heartlessly mocking your pain... such cruel souls!" (???)

"Poor... and unfortunate Ezekeil... you didn't even try to get revenge on your boss and cheating whore of a girlfriend, hehe~ wait a minute... she's not your girl but someone's else's girl." (???)

"We can't forget your colleagues at work and your friends, what did they do... having found out? They and your friend's mocked you, laughed at you, ridiculed you and what did you do? Sat their and took it weeping like a wounded animal." (???)

Ezekeil stood there while she laced him with bitter truth of himself and his past experiences. what could he do? He couldn't do her anything, the blame was on him for not seeing the signs sooner.

He went "like lamb to the slaughter" during that period in time.

"And now here we are..." (???)

"Honestly, I'm quite surprised it took you this long to muster the courage for this, you know! Ah, human nature, such a fascinating thing, isn't it?" (???)

"..." (Ezekeil)

Looking at her Ezekeil couldn't help but wonder if she only appeared to make fun at his painful past. 

"Oh, I'm here for more than just bringing up your painful past, of course! Also, no I can't read your mind your facial expression exposed your thoughts. In truth, I come before you with a proposition of great significance." (???)

"I can bestow upon you the immense power to alter the course of your destiny!" 

"What?" (Ezekeil)

"Imagine rewriting the past, reshaping your destiny, and perhaps, avoiding the pitfalls that led you here. Embrace this extraordinary gift and the world can be yours to mold once more." (???)

"So, what do you say, Ezekeil?" (???)

"Do you want to right your past? Do you want to have your revenge?" (???)

"All you have to do is say yes." (???)
