Around 10 years ago in the year 2050, horrifying creatures who came in all shapes and sizes known as Exceeds appeared through portals in time and attacked our world which killed off almost half of the world’s population.

Normal man-made weapons such as bullets and blades could not even come close to scratching them. However, when all hope was lost, a girl covered in light appeared and killed off all the Exceeds within minutes and vanished just as quickly. She was then known as The Savior and that day was known as the day of hope. Despite all the Exceeds being killed off by the Savior, their bodies did not disappear and hence decomposed into the waters around the world.

Women who drank such water then gave birth to daughters who had Exceed crystals implanted into their bodies. Majority of them were dormant and did not affect their lives in any way other than being a decoration on their bodies. However, there were some whose bodies reacted strongly to the implanted crystals and gained supernatural abilities to generate weapons that were similar to those of the Exceeds.

Despite the Exceeds showing no sign of return, the governments all around the world could not risk suffering another attack of such a great magnitude. Hence all the girls who gained such abilities were then taken forcefully and sent to 5 schools around the globe to be trained on how to control their abilities and to learn how to fight if the Exceeds ever attacked again.

Those girls were from then known as Fafnirs or humanity’s last hope against the monsters. The Fafnirs could each generate a specific weapon that was made from an extremely tough yet powerful metal which was then known as Tetrasidium or Tetra for short. Tetra weapons were then tested on Exceed corpses and were then proven to be able to damage and even pierce through the seemingly impenetrable body.

Among the Fafnirs, some of them developed supernatural abilities like teleportation, pyrokinesis and many others. Such Fafnirs were extremely rare and thus given the name Regalias as there were less than 100 of them in the thousands of Fafnirs.

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

Regalia abilities were powerful but they each came with a unique drawback after using them, the stronger the ability the bigger aftereffect the user would experience afterwards. Around a few months after the day of hope, Exceeds appeared again and whilst the Fafnirs only received the bare minimum of training, they managed to defeat the wave of invaders and minimizing losses.

Fafnirs were only known to be able to retain their abilities until their 20s as their Exceed crystals would somehow just disappear randomly which also meant that they would lose their abilities as well. However, the disappearance varies from Fafnir to Fafnir so Fafnirs are expected to fight until the day their crystals disappear.

Fafnirs were only female for a decade until I was discovered. The first and only male Fafnir.

The year is now 2060 and Exceed attacks have become a normal occurrence to the whole world to the extent that shelters were built everywhere so regardless of where you were at that time, if an Exceed appears, you would be safe while the Fafnirs and Regalias from one of the 5 schools all across the globe came to defeat it.

My name is Kuzunoha Kazuha and I am the world’s first and only known male Fafnir. While the female Fafnirs were born with their crystals, I got mine when I was 10. However, the Japanese government only discovered about my crystal and powers when I was 13 when I could not make it to a shelter in time during an Exceed attack.

 The category B: Model Spider Exceed was about to sink its fangs into me hence I had no choice but to kill it which thus exposed my powers to the Japanese government who then seized custody of me and incorporated me into the Japanese Special forces as one of their soldiers. When I was 19, I finished serving my contract with the JSF so I was granted a wish.

My desired wish was to locate my long-lost twin sister who was taken away by the government a few years ago when her Fafnir abilites were discovered and attend school like a regular 19-year-old. A few days passed and I received information that she attended Saint Lily’s Academy which was the academy I ultimately chose to attend.
