CHAPTER 01
---
Midnight, 15 minutes before the solar eclipse of the dark moon.
When the world was given special abilities by the 'Arbiter', there's many races: Human, demons, spirits, guardians, dragons and more.
---
In the forest under the moonlight, the breeze was cold, the night was silent. The sound of the wind hitting the leaves gently was the only sound that could be heard.
*****
"Hah, hah, hah, hah," gasping for air, running for my life.
"Find that half breed, bring his head to me," a general demons said. "A demon with the blood of humans should never exist."
I silenced myself, hiding behind a huge tree.
The demons scattered through the forest.
---Go away, please just get lost.
I wished silently.
I'm a nameless half breed.
In this world, conflicts between races are normal. Humans despise demons, demons despise every race.
Having the blood of humans and the presence of demons, I've been escaping for my whole life since I gained consciousness.
I've been living for about 7 years now.
Even being a demon, someone who is supposed to be stronger than normal, I have no training, I have no one to train me.
When I go to the human world, I've been chased off by them with the intent to kill me. When I go to the Demons, they hunt me. I've tried finding the place where I could belong, but all the races denied me.
I'm a human with no place where I belong.
"He's here," a demon said with a loud voice, trying to call his subordinates.
That demon rushed towards me and swung his sword towards my head.
I ran like hell to survive, though I know to myself that I can't go far away.
The demons have called the attention of others.
They rushed towards me.
I ran and ran, my full speed, even having better physical abilities than humans, I'm still a child.
My physique was not good for this thing.
Magic attacks were blown towards me, but the hurried aiming was off.
I can dodge some without looking, but the force caused shockwaves, causing me to lose my footing.
I tripped.
I know for myself, this is already the end for me.
The demons leaped towards me, their sharp big blades aiming to end my life.
I closed my eyes. My empty whole life flashed before my eyes.
But before the sword hit me, a loud sound of metal clashing was heard in the area.
"A half breed I see," the one who blocked the incoming sword said.
I don't have a good sense, but I know he's not a human, nor a demon. He's possibly a guardian of this forest.
"Here, take my hand," he said, offering his hand.
As I reached for his hand, the demons were already surrounding us.
Even with the strength of a guardian, taking on a group consisting about 15 demons would be tough. And to top it off, there is one general.
The demons stopped and surrounded us, each in a fighting stance.
Magic flames and swords are now rushing towards us.
I closed my eyes, readying myself for my end.
Multiple sounds of metals hitting each other and blasts of flames scattered in the area.
I opened my eyes, surprised that I'm alive.
All the attacks were countered.
---Who's this guy?
I asked myself.
"Is that all?" the guy said.
"Then I guess it's my turn now."
As he said that, the guy next to me suddenly vanished.
Blood splattered, demons fell dead, one by one.
He's taking them all by himself.
His blade skill was superb.
He's obviously at ease.
He dropped them all.
Severing the demons, even the sword can't parry his cuts.
Nothing can block the path of his sword.
He can cut the magic. I know it even if it's the first time I'm seeing it.
He finished all of them off, in less than a minute.
"Phew, that's all?" he said with a smirk on his face.
"You bastard! Who are you?!" the demon general said.
"It doesn't matter. You're already about to die after all."
"Hmph, what pride you have there," the demon started to emit his aura.
A shockwave was made, trees and leaves were being blown away by a strong force of wave.
Weapons made of energy covered him. "Now I'm gonna crush that smirk on your face."
The demon rushed towards us, swinging the huge war axe he has.
But the guy was not tense at all. He smirked even.
And at that very moment, countless slashes were made in one beat.
The demon general was no match for him.
