In a universe divided into three dimensions—Heaven, Hell, and the World—the vast expanse of existence was home to countless species. Heaven was the realm of gods and angels, Hell belonged to devils, and the World, an infinitely large universe, housed beings of all kinds. For most, the sheer size of this universe was overwhelming, but for the strongest, even infinity could be traversed.
Amidst this vastness lived a happy couple on a humble planet, tending their farm. Satayan, a devoted husband, and Raphael, a loving wife, were new parents to a four-month-old child named Logan. Though the family appeared ordinary, their love created a bond that was anything but.
Logan was no ordinary infant. He could understand human language, his mind far advanced for his tender age. Yet, he was constrained by his infant form, unable to speak due to his lack of teeth. Despite this, his sharp awareness hinted at a future far from mundane.
Two months later, Raphael's heart sank when she realized Logan was missing. Panic-stricken, she alerted Satayan, and together they began a desperate search. Their worry deepened when they heard strange noises outside their home. Rushing out, they were met with an unbelievable sight.
Six figures hovered above the ground, their black and white wings marking their allegiance. Those with white wings bore golden halos, while those with black wings had horns. Each held a sword, their blades pointed at baby Logan, who floated defenselessly in the grip of one of the strangers.
Without hesitation, Satayan launched a lethal attack, forcing the stranger holding Logan to release him and dodge. Raphael seized the moment, swiftly retrieving Logan. Holding her son tightly, she heard Satayan's urgent shout, "Raphael, run to a distant planet!"
Without hesitation, Raphael unfurled her magnificent white wings and soared away, carrying Logan to safety. She flew with all her might, and when she was certain no one pursued them, she landed on a remote planet. There, she entrusted Logan to an old woman, pleading, "Please take care of my son." Without waiting for a response, she took to the skies, determined to return to Satayan.
But what she saw upon her return shattered her heart. Satayan, in his true form with black wings and horns, was engaged in a brutal battle against another horned being with black wings. The opponent sneered as he drove his sword through Satayan's chest. "You've grown weak, Satan," he mocked.
Raphael, desperate to reach Satayan, was intercepted by a figure with white wings and a golden halo. "Long time no see, Goddess Raphael," he taunted before slicing off one of her wings. She fell to the ground, landing near Satayan.
Bleeding and broken, the couple crawled toward each other. Their tormentors demanded, "Where is the artifact?" But Satayan and Raphael remained silent. They bit down on their tongues, choosing death over betrayal. As their life force ebbed away, their bodies dissolved into dust and scattered across the winds.
On the distant planet, Logan, cradled in the old woman's arms, witnessed the dust in the sky. He understood what it meant. His parents were gone. Yet, his sorrow was laced with resolve.
"This is the eighth time," Logan thought, his mind burdened with the memories of countless regressions. "I can't change their fate. I'm still too weak. But this time, I'll honor their final wish. I will overturn the heavens and the hells."
For twelve years, Logan lived an ordinary life under the care of the old woman. Despite his grief, he matured far beyond his years, providing for her both financially and physically. When her final moments came, she spoke to him, "Don't cry, my child. I'm not even blood-related to you, yet you treated me as your own grandmother. For that, I am deeply grateful. You have given me more than I could ever repay."
Logan, tears streaming down his face, replied, "No, I am the one in debt. You took me in and cared for me despite everything. For that, I'll always be grateful."
The old woman smiled weakly. "Then let's call it even, shall we? Neither of us owes the other anymore." With those final words, she passed away, leaving Logan alone once more.
Logan stood by her grave, his resolve hardening. This time, he would not falter. His journey to overturn the heavens and hells was only beginning.
