Chapter 1 - New Life, Half Life

A figure is running through what seems like an abandoned fortress, he is half demon half human. He has a book in his left hand and stops before a gigantic wall on which are symbols, in circles, arranged in a circular pattern, with a large one in the middle.

The strange creature opens the book, searching for something and finally found it, he then read aloud some strange words from the book. The symbols on the wall began to glow, vines, moss and other organic stuffs on the wall began to disintegrate or fall off as the symbols rearrange themselves and disappear. The wall began to open sideways to reveal a secret throne room, there were statues of monsters and demons perfectly arranged on the wall will pillars supporting each of then on both sides. On the throne is a floating orb, bounded by a solid frame with the head of a demon perfectly moulded on it.

The halfling stretched his hand foward and the orb floats towards him, he takes it and places it on an altar in the middle of the throne room

And in a strange language he says

"Now, it's time"

LEGACY CITY

"So class we'll be joined by a new student today", the homeroom teacher said before a class, a boy is standing right next to him in a neat school uniform.

"So can you please introduce yourself", he continued

"Umm... Ah... Hi l, my name is David Knight and I'm 16 years old and umm... Well... That's all", the boy introduced himself

"Thank you, you can seat on the empty seat beside Spencer"

Meanwhile, in an unknown realm

5 portals appeared around the halfling and 5 Warlocks came out of them, 3 males and 2 females, there age varied from 25 to 35

"We can't let you do this Daevan", one of the males said

"No I must revive my master", he replied sharply and quickly takes the orb. Immediately, the Warlocks reacted and each creates a chain that wrapped round him to hold him down, but he has the orb that contains the powers of his master which he cancelled their spell, he then murmured a few words and summoned 5 monsters, the monsters appeared from the ground and attacked the Warlocks.

"We need to take back the Book of Divinity", one the Warlocks, a female said referring to the book in the hands of Daevan but they had to focus their attention on the monsters he summoned.

"That would buy me some time", Daevan said

School is over for the day and David who lives in the school dormitory is on cleaning duty as punishment for mistaking the females' toilet for the males' when he in an area around the refuse bin. The refuse bin is constantly changing colour which is very strange, also the pieces of paper and rubbish he picked there earlier are appearing and disappearing continuously

David was very curious, he rubbed his eyes believing it was mere hallucination but it was all real. There was no one around, he walks closer to it, everything starts growing weirder, the weather had become snowy, his environment is constantly changing, the basket and trash picker in his hands are gone, even the clothes he had on had changed. He was scared but it was as if a force was pulling him closer. There was a display of dark colours around him and before he knew it, he met himself in another realm, he was scared when he saw 4 monsters, 5 strange people and a humanoid monster. David quickly hides behind a heap of rock and debris that must have fallen down during the fight and watches

Another portal opens and a boy and a girl comes out, they were around 17 years old

"Arthur, Gwendolyn, we told you to stay back", one of the female Warlocks said busy with a monster with invisibility

"I'm sorry but we can't just sit back and let Daevan revive Ultron, we thought that you might need some help and also it's my duty as a demon slayer to stop him", Arthur replied

"Let the boy do his thing, we'll cover for him", another female said as she dodges the attack if a flying monster, she sticks it with lightning at its weak spot on the neck, this paralysed it

Meanwhile, Daevan had already drawn circles and symbols on the altar, and he started chanting some words. The orb begins to float again and glow with a purple hue, the circle and symbols were also glowing

"No, don't do it Daevan", Arthur yelled charging towards him with a Golden Atlastian Spear

"I'm sorry but it's already too late", Daevan said with a evil smile on his face. Arthur stops and trows the spear at the orb

"Arthur noo...!", Gwen shouted

The spear collided with the orb and there was a huge explosion of light, the wave of the explosion caused a few hanging rocks to fall and there was dust everywhere

David coughed. As the dust begins to clear, he saw the orb beside him, it must have rolled towards him after the explosion, the solid frame on it had taken the hit. The orb has a crack

In the midst of the dust Arthur see David about to touch the orb and he cried, "No Don't", but it's already too late, David felt a sharp pain in his left hand as he begins to absorb the content of the orb, or, the contents of the orb was making it's way into his body through the crack. A symbol begins to glow purple on his hand before it then dims out

David held his head as he felt pain there. The dust had now cleared out

"Who is that?", A male warlock said

"He absorbed the powers of lord Ultron, give it back", Daevan yelled and begins to rush at him but suddenly, David found himself back at the city

"Hey kid, ain't you meant to be in school right now", a man in a casual outfit with a piece of lighted cigarette in his mouth said to David who is now on a normal street in his school uniform

"Oww...yeah, school...argh...my head", he holds his head in pain, and then, he is in school

"Hey, David where'd you run off to yesterday, you failed to perform your duty...that's detention", a man who seem to be one of the staffs in the school said, there were no students in the hallway. A bell rang and students began to troop out of there classes

"Wait, no...did I miss class? no, no...I can't miss class no", David finds himself in front of his class, he quickly enters, it felt like time was rewind or something

"David Knight, why were you absent from class throughout yesterday?", the homeroom teacher asked, he was done with attendance

"What? I was in school yesterday,... Monday, I don't understand..."

"David Knight,...today's Wednesday"

"What? How can...how can...no...argh", he touches his head. The bell rang, first period is over the students began to leave the class

"~What a loser~where'd this freck come from~", people said as they passed him, some even used there shoulders to jerk him

"David you're wrecked, what happened to you", Clara Spencer the girl sitting right next to him in class asked him

They are now in front of the school

"Please what date is it?", David asked breathing heavily

"Today is February 1st, 2024, Thursday, what's wrong, after yesterday, first period, you were not seen in school, where were you? What happened"

"I'm sorry but it's have to go", he wanted to run when he suddenly met himself at the school cafeteria, it was lunchtime, there were students around. He felt a sharp pain in his head as he began to remember things that didn't happen. He looks up, he is in an unknown place in the city, monsters are everywhere, the sky is light brown in colour, he then sees someone floating in the air, observing the city, was it himself or someone else? He can't tell, the city is destroyed, not a single normal person around, he heard something whoosh pass him and he thought he saw white lights for a second

"Don't move put everyone down slowly", a male voice said, David is once again in the cafeteria, the color of his hair has changed to white, he looks around and discovered he is levitating everyone in the cafeteria except the police officers that now surround him with guns in their hands

"Put everyone down freak", the police officer said again

David's eye colour had changed to purple and the symbol on his hand is now glowing purple

Doctor Cold phases through the ceiling and descends slowly, his suit is made of silver, he had black gloves on and black shoes with a white sole, he wore a mask that covered his eyes and the back of his hair leaving the top of his hair uncovered, the mask is also made of silver

"Did someone say freeze", Doctor Cold said

"No, no, no, why is this happening?"

He meets himself in front of the school, has he been teleporting? He started running away from the school as fast as he can, he could sense he's being chased by Doctor Cold who is flying right behind him

"No...no... This is not happening, I must still be dreaming, I'm not a freak, I'm a normal high schooler"

A portal opens in front of him, Psychic Girl and Morph Shifter came out of it

"David Knight, I know that there is something wrong with you, and you need help, so, can you kindly come with us so we can help you", Psychic Girl requested

"Never!!", David yelled and unknowingly created a wave that sent them flying into buildings

David's body suddenly moves on its own with reflex to the left and right, he looks back and realized that Doctor Cold was trying to hit him with freeze rays

"Leave me alone", David yelled again but Doctor Cold ignored him and shoots another beam at him, David crossed his hands to shield hid face. The beam got refracted and hits the propeller of an approaching police helicopter. David didn't know what later happened to the helicopter because he's now a ln alley, he is in so much pain, he has started hearing voices in his head and is aware that his body colour has changed to pale white, he groans in pain as he slowly transforms

Then he blacked out
