In a different world, a world in where soldiers use swords, shields and arrows as weapons. A war between humans and demons broke out. This war took millions of lives and after months of suffering, the humans have finally won. The questions is, was that the best outcome? After the war, the humans continued killing the surviving demons, they hunt them down day after day. The humans were ruthless and they serve under a ruthless king. They capture and enslave demons harvesting their dark energy for their own selfish benefits.

Inside a huge magnificent castle, the king walks down the hallway. He doesn’t look like your typical king like you see in the movies. He looks fit and has a very clean face. He has black curly hair and is wearing regular clothes. As he approaches the dead end, a statue is found standing beside the wall, and it looks like a woman raising her hand. The king reaches for the statue’s hand but stopped after hearing her daughter’s voice calling him from behind.

The little girl was in her pajamas rubbing her sleepy eyes. She pitch black hair with noticeable red strands, she also has red bright eyes. The king approaches her daughter and carries her back to her room telling her it’s ok, daddy is here. He leaves the room after his daughter fell asleep.

The girl is fast asleep and looks like she is having a good dream. She suddenly awoke after hearing a loud noise outside her room. It was a dull sound but it can be clearly heard. She rushes outside her room and saw the hallways. It looked fine and normal. But she is curious where the sound was coming from. She remembered the place where she last saw her father. The first image she can think of is the statue of a girl raising her hand. She rushes to the venue and as expected it was a dead end.

She stands there thinking for a while but after a few seconds she takes a step back and decided to go back to her room. After a few steps, she heard yet another noise, but this time it was loud and clear. Someone is fighting underneath the floor. The little girl looked terrified and confused as to what she should do.

Out of instinct, she pulls the statue’s arm down and the wall made the sound of 2 concrete stones rubbing against each other as it opens revealing a secret entrance. It was dark inside, the only source of light was the torches on the wall.

The little girl enters the secret room and the wall closes behind her. She was shivering as she walks and her eyes looked so red in the darkness. She found a stairs leading down to the deeper part of the castle. She continued walking down the stairs and the noise became louder and louder. It sounded like a number of men fighting each other. As she goes deeper under the castle, the path became a little bit brighter. She realized that she is almost at her destination.

As she walks, she became more uneasy, afraid and uncertain of what is to come. As she walks, she sees a huge door that fills the whole wall. And it is obvious that the thing she is searching for is behind that door.

She opens the door with difficulty considering her size compared to the door. As she opens the door it was slowly revealed that the room is some kind of lab. The place looks destroyed and smoke was everywhere. As the smoke slowly disappears, it was revealed before her that the royal guards that she often greets every day are on the floor drowning in their own blood.

She knows them her whole life, she even plays with them on some occasion. She knew for a fact that they are strong enough to defend this entire castle from high level demons. The question circulates in her mind, who is even capable of doing this? Even the demon king was utterly defeated by the royal guards.

There is a man with unusual clothing. The clothes that he was wearing do not fit the timeline in where the little girl was living in. The man is wearing modern clothes. She witnessed before her eyes as the mysterious man pummels one if the guards to the ground breaking most of his bones upon impact. The man saw the girl and stood up straight wiping the dust off his palms with his pants.

“You’re name is Nova Saegil, right? I have read your file. You shouldn’t be here, kid.” The man said to the girl with a dry and expressionless tone. The man walks closer to the girl named Nova and she just stares at him. The girl looked afraid and dismayed thinking of what she needs to do. Her hands are shivering uncontrollably and her eyes are filled with darkness.

The man grabbed the little girl’s shoulder and said with the same tone; “Hate me if you want, just don’t hate your father.” The man then walks back to where he was and disappeared in the smoke. After a few seconds, the man came out of the smoke carrying an unconscious girl in his arms. The girl has violet hair and snow white skin. She has plenty of wounds and her skin was full of cracks as if she were a porcelain doll. The man left the castle through the entrances and never returned.

In the smokes, the king called out for his daughter with a shrivelled up voice. Nova rushed to her father following the sound of his voice. As she reaches her father it was revealed that the king was injured. The little girl rushed towards him crying out his name.

The king said to her with his weak voice while coughing up blood from time to time; “Nova, don’t be like me, ok? I… made mistakes… in my life and this has to be my biggest one yet.” The king struggles to speak to his daughter. The king was coughing and was struggling to breathe. The king then said; “Choose the right path Nova, daddy loves you.” The king dies in front of his daughter.

Nova stood up and her pupils became redder and it glowed. She was crying in blood and yelled in the top of her lungs as black smoke begins to emerge from the ground circling around Nova. The Black smoke became thicker and thicker until it covered her entirely.

Suddenly, Nova awakened from her dream. She looks grown up now as if she was reliving her past in a form of a nightmare. She looks at her wrist watch and the time said 3:30 am. She was breathing heavily and sweat drips from her forehead. As she looks around her room she noticed that it was all just a dream. Her room looked modern, the room contains fluorescent lights, a night light beside her, a drawer and posters on the wall. She took a deep breath and said; “You’re finally going to die tomorrow.” She took her phone and looked at an image. The image showed Martin’s face.

“You have no idea how many worlds I have travelled just to find you.”
