Synopsis
Devouring Dawn: A Desperate Quest for Humanity's Survival In a ravaged world where demons roam free, humanity teeters on the precipice of extinction. The Majin, monstrous creatures driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh, have reduced the earth to a desolate wasteland. Their master, the ruthless Lord Akuma, revels in the chaos, his malevolent presence fueling the Majin's unrelenting onslaught. The Majin's powers are elemental and devastating: fire that reduces cities to ashes, earth that shatters the foundations of civilization, air that chokes the life from humanity's lungs, and water that drowns all in its path. The Catalyst, a mysterious system that controls the Majin, seems unstoppable, its ultimate goal: the eradication of humanity and the reign of the Majin. Yet, amidst the ruins, a glimmer of hope flickers. The Majin Hunters, an elite force of warriors, have dedicated their lives to destroying the Catalyst and the Majin. Armed with a unique power system that allows them to heal, rank up, and wield extraordinary abilities, these brave fighters embark on a perilous quest to save humanity from the brink of destruction. Led by a young hero, driven by a burning desire for justice and fueled by a haunting past, the Majin Hunters must confront their own demons and make impossible choices to ensure the survival of their fellow humans. With each victory, they edge closer to their ultimate goal: the destruction of the Catalyst and the Majin. But the journey ahead is fraught with danger. The Majin are relentless, and the Catalyst will stop at nothing to achieve its twisted objectives. As the stakes grow higher, the Majin Hunters must confront the very real possibility that their sacrifice might be in vain. Will humanity's last hope prevail, or will the Majin's darkness consume all in its path? Dive into the world of Devouring Dawn, where the boundaries between good and evil are tested, and the true meaning of sacrifice is revealed. Genre: Dark Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic

Chapter 1 - Past.

Chapter Two

To become who you want to be,you must sacrifice who you are.

He had killed several Majin, infact millons and thousands of them.

As he killed them,he ranked higher and higher.

He was at a level no one his age could ever dream of.

He was ruthless, merciless,and the hope of humanity.

That's if he lived long enough.

He was fifteen years old,so young,yet so deadly.

He had pale skin,grey eyes and a deadly glare.

He had one motivation "His hate for the catalyst and the Majin"

It killed his whole family.

He watched in sheer horror as the Majin tore his brother to pieces.

"Yusa!!!"

He could still hear their terrifying,heart pumping screams.

He shook his head, not this night.

He strolled along the forest, looking around for Majin.

Detecting….life form activity.

That's it…Majin.

It had come out and was drooling.

A dragon form.

It was despicable and horrifyingly ugly.

He reached for his sword only to discover it wasn't there.

"What the…"

It was definitely not the one that took it,then who did.

"Yusa Itadori"

He heard a shrill voice call.

He turned to see a demon Majin.

They were Majin that could talk, mainly foot soldiers.

S-ranks.

He had only met few,they were hard to beat even at his current level.

"Who are you?

Wait…never mind,since I'll be killing you soon."

The Majin laughed,it sounded like vultures crying.

It disgusted him.

It was smiling,so confident.

"Come and try,which sword do you plan on using?"

"Damn it…"

He was unarmed.

"How did you creep up to me? And where is the dragon Majin?"

" I am the dragon Majin"

The demon then transformed into the dragon again.

It could shape shift,this could be tough.

"I felt your heart beat increase….scared?"

The Majin asked, transforming into a large,snake.

It began to slowly wrap around him, choking him.

"I won't eat you,I am on Lord Akuma's orders.

To bring your head,I'll just choke you to death,decapitate you and leave your body for little Majin to consume

Look at me being so generous"

Yusa looked at the monster,calm and collected.

Heart rate: Significantly reduced.

He had to slow blood circulation to his brain so the fear won't begin to take over.

He would kill this monster,the Majin was about to bite his head when…..

Yusa slit his whole body to pieces,at one slash.

The Majin's head was still intact,it began to talk.

"What….? How could you?

How dare you?"

Yusa glared at him, lifelessly.

"I could see you were so distracted about killing me,that you forgot I had taken my sword from you"

The Majin laughed again, "You foolish human"

It's body began to join back together until he was complete once again.

It was in it's human form.

Ofcourse,S-ranks could regenerate.

"Uhh…die already"

Yusa rushed at him at full speed and slammed his sword against it's hard skin.

The sword broke.

"What?"

The Majin grinned and grabbed his neck.

" Child….don't you know swords don't harm S-ranks…it doesn't penetrate our skin."

It raised him from the ground and looked at him.

This reminded Yusa of something….

"Yusa,Run"

Oh yes,when his father was about to killed by a Majin,he was staring as the monster raised his father up and swallowed him whole.

He was only ten.

Tears left his eyes as he witnessed the sheer horror of a monster eating his father.

And now,the same was about to be done to him.

No…..he couldn't die.

He remembered what his father told him when he was a child.

"No matter what situation you find yourself, know this….you will succeed eventually."

But he couldn't,he had no sword, that is unless he could use the half sword still in his hand.

But the efficiency and precision of his attacks would be reduced significantly.

Unless he used a skill he hadn't used before,a skill so powerful he would probably be killed himself.

He would probably be killed anyway by the Majin but he couldn't bear the shame of being killed by this despicable species.

"Now you will die,you can't survive…your head is mine"

Skill: Devil's Eclipse.

He breath in deeply,this was it.

He couldn't fail,he had to unleash this strike at a specific altitude in the air, and aim for the monster's neck while at that altitude.

That was the only skill that would kill this beast.

He couldn't do it….it was a move even if his master hadn't fully conquered.

What made him think….

"No matter the situation…."

Dad…..he would do it for Dad…

Lv.5,123.

Skill: Devil's Eclipse

Condition: Battle mode.

"This is your END,mortal!!"

Skill:Thunder Leap

Activation complete.

He jumped to a high point in the sky,he was soon going to fall,he had to do it fast.

Skill: Devil's Eclipse.

Activation complete.

He swiped at the monster with all his fury,the Majin paused and looked at the red,flame heading for his neck.

He began to sweat,he had to do something.

He couldn't die, Lord Akuma would kill him.

"And if you dare die on this mission,I will kill your family.

All of them"

Not his family,Majin didn't reproduce but when he got turned into Majin by Lord Akuma.

His whole family had to be turned into it.

And, now all their lives were at stake,the Majin quickly used his hand to block the flame but it sliced it's hand off.

Yusa was shocked,it didn't kill him.

He fell to the ground, beginning to lose oxygen.

He was so close,why won't this Majin just die?

"Did you actually think you could kill me..?

What an insult!

Well that will all be in the past seeing you'll die soon.

And this time there'll be no escape"

Yusa fell to the ground, waiting for the Majin's attack.

Survival is pointless at this point.

Sorry father…..he cried…

I failed you.

I failed all of you….
