Planet Earth, a world filled with both good and evil, is a place where constant battles rage over doing the right thing and treating others with kindness. Amidst this turmoil, a baby was born, destined to become a beacon of hope. At that moment, Irah, the future celestial god from another realm, caught a brief glimpse of this future hero's journey—from his birth to the day he would become the balance that would bring peace to his land and beyond.
As Irah is taking a stroll, a vision is revealed, not only of the hero, Lucian, but also a shadowy figure standing beside him. This enigmatic companion would remain a mystery to Irah until the moment he ascended to godhood.
Irah, once a hero with exceptional magical skills and an unyielding will, had the unique ability to draw strength from others who shared his desires and beliefs. Initially underestimated, his unwavering determination eventually earned him powerful allies. These allies, who would later ascend with him to celestial godhood, were transformed into celestial angels, each tasked with protecting a specific region from the dark kaiju king, Zahar.
In this vision, Irah saw Lucian's potential to become a hero of unmatched power, equaling even Zahar. He witnessed Lucian's growth, his trials, and his ultimate ascension to a being destined to restore light to the world. Alongside Lucian, the shadowy figure, whose identity and purpose would only be revealed in due time, stood as a testament to the unknown challenges and allies that lay ahead. This shadowy figure would play a crucial role in shaping the fate of Irah's world, acting as a pivotal force whose actions would greatly influence the balance between light and darkness, hinting at the profound impact they would have on Lucian's journey and the world's destiny.
In the old world, present-day Lucian is 9 years old, having a regular day with his pregnant mother, Laura, and his little brother, Hito. With his dad not present, Lucian promises himself and his mother that he will do everything in his power to keep them safe. On the day of Hito's birth, after Lucian sees his little brother, he breaks into tears, seeing a little bright soul that will bring light to Lucian in the distant future. At that moment, Lucian feels that their future will be bright but challenging. With a serious mood, he says to himself, "Even though I'm 9 years old, I get this feeling that I must make sure that as he grows up, he learns how to be strong for the unknown challenges awaiting him. As for me, well, I don't know, but I will do my best for them."
Even though Lucian Heart is often surrounded by brightness, he is also familiar with darkness through his experiences. He has faced many situations filled with greed and people not caring for others. What managed to keep him balanced was the birth of his little brother and the love of his mother.
But as he grows up, his heart also fills with darkness. He wishes for a world of peace and harmony, where everyone can live in peace and people do right by themselves and others. However, he learns that such a world is impossible. He realizes that in a world dominated by greed and self-interest, peace is hard to come by.
Lucian: "How can there be peace in a world with so much hatred and greed? It's not that greed is inherently bad, but when combined with darkness and wickedness, it becomes chaos."
"Having Hito and my mother helps me see how there's more to this world than just darkness. Yet, my father's death seems in vain; just because of money and greed, he's not with us today."
"Hmm, well, I guess I just have to go with the flow for the time being. Humanity can be very irritating."
For the reader: "How can one be the hope of a different world? As you ask yourself this question, with each moment, each chapter, and each page you turn, you will start seeing things in a different manner than you originally thought. Let us not think of one straight line but many lines with different paths, conclusions, and thoughts. When you have come to a final answer to the question, you may pass on the knowledge you have learned."
Now, on with the story.
As time passes in the old world, Lucian is now 17 and in high school. He is a high-potential student who hates calling attention to himself, but he doesn't mind stepping up if the moment calls for it. While he sometimes shines on his own without wanting to, it can bother him, though at times he doesn't mind it.
As a person, he is both adored and hated. Some people don't like him, but they still respect him, regardless of their feelings. His personality is similar to that of a sigma male; he can forgive but never forget. Some mistake his kindness for weakness and end up regretting it. Many try to compete, but you'll find he has no competition because he's on a different level. His genuineness is one of his strongest assets. His actions speak louder than words.
One day as he heads out from school to his house reflecting on his surroundings as he walks past them, he sees some flowers moving with the flow of the wind and a thought comes to mind.
"How beautiful, but yet how fragile it is. At times, the smallest things are what make this world less irritating."
As he passes by the flowers, he sees a young kid grabbing a model building airplane with a big smile, jumping with joy as the kid's grandpa buys him the airplane. As they come out of the store, Lucian hears the young kid saying,
"I can't wait to start building my new airplane, Grandpa!"
Lucian thought,
"Haha, what a joyful kid. One can just imagine the things his imagination can help him accomplish."
"Hito, my foolish little brother, I wonder what you're doing now, hmm."
As Lucian keeps walking home, Hito appears to be running somewhere. As he keeps running, he hears a loud screaming voice and reacts to it.
"What was that? Where did it come from?... Uh, from there."
He ran quickly to where the screaming came from. As he arrives, he sees a young girl getting hit by a ruthless man as the man yells at her.
"You useless runt, where do you get off trying to make me look bad?"
As she continues to be mistreated by the man, Hito steps in without even thinking twice.
"You piece of trash, who do you think you are to step on someone like that? And what makes you so special that you get to treat her that way?"
In that instant, the man falls to the floor in the blink of an eye.
As the young girl notices how the violence stops and it becomes silent, she looks up. As she starts to open her eyes, she hears a relaxing and soothing voice saying,
"Hi, my name is Hito."
"Come, you are safe now."
As she gazes at Hito, she thinks,
"Huh, what happened? Who are you? Hito?"
With the little strength she still has as she starts fainting, she says,
"Hito? Thanks!"
