To me, I didn't have the ordeal of the most gruesome kind but all I have is this card yet to be known and a sword yet to be strong...

Meguri went back to her room after she revealed herself being a "Prophet Commander" and I left my room, I entered the library. I went to the same dead end and read the scriptures inscribed on the wall. As soon I touched the scripture, the words lighten up, I felt my Mana Gears working and felt the pain as my mana slowly depletes. Something thrusts my heart spiritually and remove that sword-like thing within my heart. Tis the light disappeared and the scripture disappeared as well, It must be looking for a mana source. A few moments, the wall started to crumble as it reveals a path to the lower floor of the house.

"What the-"

I'm confused. To be honest, I was kind of afraid, but it might lead me to the answer I was finding a long time. I entered the path and feels like darkness was following me. As I go down the stairs, Some sort of light was appearing slowly as I get near it,

"A door?"

I was near the door of wood, it has a lock but I don't have the key. I tried breaking through the door but it doesn't break.

"Is this some sort of fortification magic?"

I heard footsteps from behind me, I was assuming it's Meguri but it was a spirit. a Spirit that our parent's left behind so that we can know how to open this door.

"My spirit is the key, open at any will." the spirit casts a spell.

An exact copy of the door opened and the spirit went inside, the spell that the spirit used is one of Edenia's Hidden Spells written by her in her record book. I don't have the affinity of Null magic as well as Divine Magic, Dark Magic and Fortification Magic... Come to think of it, Meguri has the affinity for the types of magic that I mentioned. So I went to her,

"Meguri! Can you come with me..."

She blushed, thinking about some lewd things.

"Sure..."

So I drag her by the hand and went back to the door of wood.

"I sense Divine Fortification Magic in this door..."

She reached out her hand and casts the same spell that the spirit used, "My spirit is the key, Open at any will.", The door opened and we went inside. It was a room filled with relics and weapons stoled by someone. Meguri knew who stole these relics and weapons. But I kept it aside and went to the center of the room and looked for an answer. As I looked for an answer, I felt my Mana Gears starting to work again and felt the flow of mana being used.

"Onii-chan?"

Meguri was worried why my mana started to flow over the room, as my First Gear was used, It immediately switched to my Second Gear where I kept my Rune Mana safe, the flow of mana was getting stronger as the room started to shine so brightly. The rune mana was depleted and It switched to my Final Gear where it's located in my innermost heart of the soul. It used the strongest mana that took me Months to recover and that is the Intervention Mana. It depletes so fast and left a little bit of it leaving me conscious after all the mana depletion.

The Room was filled with light. In front of me is another Rapier in the ground, the handle somehow has this appearance of a rose's stem without the thorns wrapped around it. the blade was like a neverending opera of thorns and a larger composition of an oratorio.

"Is this the Rapier of the unfabled prophet?" Meguri asked out of confusion

I grabbed the handle and the handle's stem like appearance started to pierce my hand and drink my blood. the sword became lighter as I pull it.

I pulled the Rapier with brute force and raised it over my head, The blade somehow started to eat all the light surrounding the very room and left only a fragment of light to let us see our surroundings.

"That is..."

"The Rapier of Edenia"

The rapier blade was covered with condensed mana and the sharpened part was filled with light, shining like the moon.

"It seems that you obtained the second moon..." said to me with grievance

To me the second moon doesn't mean anything but the term she used, "you obtained the second moon..." means that it somehow linked to Mother's specialty, "Seven Moons".

After what we saw and what I obtained, we left the room consciously and exit the amidst of darkness path. Meguri took a seat and grabbed one of the books that she always read in this very room. I left the room and went to the center of this very corridor. Nothing but peace and quiet.

...

Meguri seated at the table

I was left in this very room by myself, Onii-chan holds the second moon which means he only has 5 more to go. But something kept my mind on bugging, something that I forgot to tell him. I think it was something about the history... what?, I totally forgot what it was but All I remember is The history of the Seven Moons...

"The Location of the Last Moons"

I closed the book that I'm reading, stood up, went back to the aisle where this book is located and put it back. It made me think that I can't tell Onii-chan about the locations and I can't either have one of the "Seven Moons" because I don't have the authority of the specialty.

I went to the mysterious path where the "supposed scripture" was located or the dead end and went to the same door that we entered. the Relics and Weapons that Dad stole.

I looked for the book that Dad told me about and found it, it's called the "the Truths and False of the Sun" where the idealism of Edenia's "Seven Moons" was bestowed upon Mom, come to think of it. Edenia is our grandmother who is still alive but her current whereabouts are unknown, we last saw her is when our parents died. She visited alongside with Grandfather and gave me a relic that will let Onii-chan retrieve his power as the one who kills "Apostles". Apparently, Edenia still looks like a teen as well as grandfather but they're a hundred years old.

"Third Moon, The Lance of Sorrows."

The Third Moon... It's titled as the lance of sorrows and its creator was Ploresia, A Goddess of Sorrow who created the Moon, Shantrea... A blood moon with the power of turning everyone's sorrow more powerful. The origin of the Lance is written by Edenia and obtained the lance itself.

"As the Lance was created, Ploresia summoned her Self Eidolons to possessed the lance itself"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

The true ideal of Ploresia creating the lance is to protect the moon she created, it was stuck on a stone underneath Shantrea and its handle was covered with a cloth Ploresia weaved with divine magic and the tip was filled with dark magic that anything that was pierced by this lance will die under the effect of "Shantrea's Bloody Sorrow".

I need to find its exact location before I tell Onii-chan about the truth.

...

Staring at the blank wall 

"The Seven Moons... what does that suppose to mean?"

I hold the rapier tightly.

I pointed it in the direction where the exit is located. 

All I ever dreamt was the cost of victory, even if struggle and suffering come. Spite all the tyranny of the forces of All-Father, even if it's a wage war, all matters if I achieved victory over All-Father's forces.

I went near to the exit, and someone knocked, I felt suspicious because no one can get over the gate without consent. 

the unknown breached through the door.

As I suspected, Someone with enough power can break through that fortified gate. A Mafioso holding an enchanted gunblade... no, It's not just an ordinary enchanted gunblade. It is somehow, a Mythic Arm. Obtained through a Reverse Divination.

He pointed his gunblade directly at my head and pulled the trigger, fired a .44 caliber bullet.

Fuck...

Deflected the bullet with the blade of the rapier.

Good thing I deflected the bullet,

Jumped towards Katsurou and gave him a flurry of slashes and Katsurou kept on dodging.

I can't do keep on dodging his slashes, Fuck this.

The rapier's blade shone as he kept on dodging the mafioso's attacks.

With great speed, He disemboweled the mafioso and blood were everywhere as well as the blood was on the blade of the rapier.

Ugh, What the fuck... I almost got slashed by his gun blade. Foul play but he should've used the gun instead of the blade...

"Disappearance"

The body was disposed of, mostly was burnt into the depths of the 15th Dimension... "Burning Lands". As the turnaround of events occurred, It made me hungry. It's rare for me to get hungry so quickly but since I used a lot of mana.

Katsurou Entered the kitchen while carrying the rapier covered in blood.

Let's see, Chicken sandwich... Salad... Bread...? Wait what is this... Is this last week's food? What the fuck is this?

Katsurou grabbed the chicken sandwich and ate it.

Hmm...

Is it possible if the Seven Moons are just weapons? or some sort of magic connecting to the Seven Holy Worlds... I don't know, There's a lot of things that are needed to be explained like what was I like when I participated in the All-out War? Do I have some sort of Mythic Arm like a staff? or some strange power that can disarm anything...? All those things are still a mystery but if I'm going to be a Head of the Prophetic Commanders under the Ancestral Order... I should be proud of myself instead. 

I remembered something... Is Edenia our grandmother? Young with Immortality? I don't know... I should jump through time and space to open the locked memories even if it bends time and space... I will do anything for remembering important things.

His phone rang, A commander of the Ancestral Order was calling him and he answered it.

"Yes?"

"Umm, Katsurou-san... This is Aki, I would like to inform you that—"

"Inform what?"

"—That... That, You and your sister would be chosen as one of the commanders of the Ancestral Order

But before we go to the Chosen talk, We are wondering if you already received your blank card..."

"—Yeah, I already received my blank card"

"Really...?"

This seems important but I don't want to take it seriously. I mean Aki's been my childhood friend but she became one of the Commanders when I was forced to participate. I want to ask her about what I was like when I participated in this All-out War but I'll receive a curse, Meguri called it, "Force Effect" then she told me a long story. None of that matters now, I will become a Commander now. Which is pretty good.

"Well I forgot to mention that you'll be the head of the Ancestral Order"

"—Wait... WHAT?"

"Yes... You'll be the head of the Ancestral Order."

Then she disconnected and Katsurou dropped the phone on the floor. 

What world am I living on? More struggle and mostly sacrifices would be made, but why am I the head? That is impossible, I don't have Null Magecraft. In all the history of the Heads of the Ancestral Order, They always use Null Magecraft in some sort of events but that is impossible...! How can I become the Head... Doesn't matter, All I'm gonna do is be serious about it and leave the fears that I always carry.

"Ugh.."

What if I forced myself to use Null spells? Will that work? Hmm... I'll use Meguri's Strongest Null spell, "Absolute Disarm"... Thing is, "Disappearance" is not Null Magecraft but Teleportation Magecraft, one of the 4 Absolute Spells that the First Head used is "Disappearance". The First Head is mostly a Teleportation Sorcerer alongside with her Mythic Arm, The Wanderer's Eye of Demons... it's mostly a sword with a living demon...

Come to think of it, how can a mafioso be wandering in this very town... Seems weird, especially when it's past 9. Must've been a Demon Mafioso. In this very town, there is no mafia institution surrounding here, but there are three mafias surrounding the 3 parts of the city. 

The northern part called Kizuno, where the rune mafia's base is located

The western part called Akiya, where the spell mafia's base is located 

and the eastern part called Shizo, where the element mafia's base is located

Mostly, I've been one of the spell mafias this last 2 years. All my job was to give them information but what I've encountered these last few hours was just insane. How did a Demon Mafioso enter the fortified gate so easily? I mean, The gate was fortified with divine runestones. A fool demon who entered the gate will suffer endless pain.

Meguri entered the kitchen

"Onii-chan..."

"Yeah?"

"Why does the hallway smell like iron?"

"Uhh..."

I forgot that Meguri can smell blood that easily, even if it's a mile away and also Meguri can tell if someone is lying or telling the truth. 

"Because a Mafioso entered through the gate and break through the house. I have no choice you know...?"

"Is it a demon mafioso?"

"Well, yeah... Kind of."

"Okay..."

Meguri went back to the Library.

 Thing is, I don't know why Edenia named her library, the Akashic Records of Edenia. For some reason, The Library has a variety of books that contains the history of the previous events.

Katsurou left the house wearing a jacket

The night is still cold, as cold as the demons kill innocent souls. I cannot endure such temperature as the snow falls in my entire body. Walking through the snow-covered streets as the night goes by, My hands are cold till the time goes by. Looking for an answer to such thing is a great thing but the signs of faith are not enough.

I cast a spell to give me heat so I can keep my temperature balanced, The horizon is covered by marbled walls. protecting us from any harm coming from All-Father itself. On the way, A vision of a woman was in plain sight, I wiped my eyes and nothing changed. As soon as I get closer, She started to walk. The distance was 2 inches away from the woman as she whispered some gibberish words directly at me. All I have heard is something related to me from the past. As she passes by, I looked at my back and nothing was in plain sight. It might be a spirit or might be a wandering soul, Lost in the depths of purgatory's snow finding an answer to such problem. 

Katsurou arrived and entered a mysterious building

Like what they said, Don't judge a book by its cover. The building was mysterious on the outside but on the inside, Its formality is refreshing and the modern style of it gives me the chills. 

"Katsurou-san!"

A familiar voice called me, It sounds like Aki's voice but it's not, It has this cold demeanor and a cold personality. 

"Hey, Katsurou-san!"

Yep, It's her alright.

"Are you here for your training or something?"

It's Aki's twin sister, Maika Tsugumi. I shook my head and give her a letter. After that, I left the very building and walk through the cold-hearted streets.

As I walk, a shining star was at sight on the very horizon. It alters my vision so I looked back. As I walk, I heard a sound of an arrow piercing through the wind so I grabbed my emergency knife from inside my jacket and prepared.

Someone shot an arrow directly at Katsurou

Crap, I have to run. 

He ran as the arrows land on the very ground.

What the hell is wrong with that Archer? This isn't good enough, I have to keep on running. I can't fight back, the mobility of the arrows are too great, I even managed to dodge all those arrows.

He kept on running till the Archer fired an arrow full of mana.

I sense mana being used on the horizon, It might cause an explosion but I have to deflect it mid-air with something... —That's it!

The archer shot an arrow directly at Katsurou, As the arrow about to land on his head... Katsurou threw his knife with force and deflects the arrow.

Great, All I have to do is teleport back to the house.

"Tetieren!"

...
