3. Holy Land:
Left broken, licking his wounds after being brutalized and denied help from Violet, Zeke finds hope to save his mother in the least expected place. Thus, he and his companions resolve to travel to a Heavenly Sub-Realm to locate the Puritas Flor, which can cure his mother's ailment.
The Main Trio:
Ezequias "Zeke" Rosario

"I’m content—no, I have conformed to the fact that things are just randomized, that the universe doesn’t have a grand scheme for anything. It doesn’t care about anything. Bad things, good things, fortune, and misfortune are all just based on… absurdity. Learning that there is a cosmic reason for all of this crap would suck."
Summary: A gifted teen who wants to be a world-renowned doctor. What keeps him from achieving his full potential is coming from an unlawful family, low self-esteem, and excessive anxiety, having him overthink and worry about everything from the fate of the world to innocuous things like if that gum he swallowed a few years ago is going to come back to haunt him.

“Yes, now, I see! If we save this angel’s life, then we all get a guaranteed ticket to Heaven, right? Or, like, a ‘get out of Hell for free card.’ I lowkey still want to see some demon babes.”
Summary: Lazy and unapologetic about his lecherous behavior. Ugo possesses incredible memory-related abilities, such as photographic recall, but all that is cemented in his mind is how he will attain his first girlfriend.

“He just lets people be born ugly and others beautiful? He allows some people to grow into freaks? Why, just for the fun of it?”
Summary: Self-conscious about her height and lack of “feminity.” She enjoys exercise, eating right (even dedicating herself to learning various complex healthy dishes), and following sports but never applies herself to any of the school’s teams due to her shyness. She is overall a sweet person but gets antagonistic whenever the topic of religion is brought up. After facing “unfair” outcomes when it came to her body and observing the other graver injustices of the world, she came to despise the idea of God, hoping deep down that everything about Heaven is a lie, and then one day, an angel falls out of the sky.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
“Whichever miscreant of the Fourteenth Tainted Generation chooses to oppose us, the Dominions, the protectors of this Realm — the inheritance that Father left us, shall be executed on sight and shown no mercy. Destruction of their mortal shells and the containment of their souls are the only acceptable outcomes of this operation. That’s all.”
Summary: All Nananiel wants to do is help out humans and maybe try out some of the things they have the privilege of experiencing. That’s why he was happy when he was suddenly promoted to the rank of “Dominion Chief,” putting him in charge of management of the Human Realm. It turns out misfortune seems to love Nananiel as a universal threat arises just as he is getting used to his new job.
With the Tainted Generation now at large, Nananiel needs to take on a more stern demeanor and possibly make some difficult choices that may involve harming the humans he so dearly admires.

“Listen, humans, stop trying to fight for things you don’t understand. It’s always the same with you lot. You fight amongst yourselves for frivolous reasons, and single instances can incite prolonged wars. You destroy the beautiful environment surrounding you and greedily bleed the planet dry of precious resources, and not even that is enough to unite you.”
Summary: A well-respected legend in the angelic community known for her brutal but effective methods that usually end with blood and ashes. What she likes and hates is simple. Irin likes doing her job and likes doing it right. She hates it when people don’t do their jobs and hates it even more when they don’t do it well. She is constantly switching Containers due to having trouble finding one to contain her explosive angelic soul.
She holds great disdain toward Nananiel due to the belief he is hopelessly incompetent and in no way fit to be Dominion Chief.

“I have to go back, though, but if I do… I’ll be punished for sure… they’ll put me back in the cage.”
Summary: Imprisoned in a cage in a Heavenly Realm and let out by Dominion Chief Nananiel to aid with an upcoming attack on the Winterberry Adytum. The operation went awry, so she fled, contracting an ailment in the process, and was later found and cured by Ezequias "Zeke" Rosario, Ugo Morata, and AJ Dotson.

Viola “Violet” Balles
image [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/77/a9/ed/77a9edb774f4a39b2b0ec777e2c5338a.png]
“It’s nice to see that some things stay just as wonderful as you left them. That makes me glad.”
Summary: A childhood friend of the trio who served as their "protector" standing up to bullies for them. Unfortunately, she fell out of touch when sent to an Argentinian all-girls Catholic boarding school.
The first thing people notice when seeing her for the first time is her petrifying dark cobalt blue eyes--at times, they seem violet, hence why she was given the nickname. There is also an unmistakable hostile animus around Violet that people pick up on quickly when near her, except for Zeke, who is hopelessly infatuated with her.
She moonlights as the infamous Angel-Killer. It is a mystery what Violet had been doing since she was sent to Catholic School and her Mana Pores opened, but somewhere in the timeline, she grew a strong contempt towards the angels and is dead set on killing them all.
Violet wants Zeke to aid her in her carnage.

“I beg of you, don’t give into the intense, dangerous emotion you’re feeling right now, for it will cause you two to make irreparable actions which will be followed with massive consequences.”
Summary: An oddball who grew up in a household of ardent devotees with parents deeply involved in Winterberry’s church community. He has been preaching in front of devoted audiences since he was eight years old and traveled on the road with his family to spread the good word nationwide.
A long-time acquaintance of the trio. To Zeke, he always seemed a bit... off.
