As most know I generally do a few chapters every other month.

Not to fucking day.

______________________

I am currently in a city in the outskirts of the nation once called Chicago. It's been a relatively long time since the war began and did not end all that long ago especially if you consider some of the angels ages.

Ah wait....Chicago wasn't a nation. The once great nation of illinews.

There we go.

I have entered this tattered and destroyed city.

Humans lost most of their rebuilding technology after the war most of the survivors were young children or young adults by human standards.

There were very few souls over 30 years of age that survived the war.

I settled down in an area not to far from the current human base. My wings can't be hidden however with magic I can make them invisible if someone bumped into my back I would have a hard time explaining. It's not that the humans did not know of the fallen or war its just on a general scale they disliked anyone with wings.

My wings are beautiful damn it.

Ah that was bad. Should stop the bad word habit.

My current attire was bad ass if I do say so myself.

Although angels fallen and extinct demons can just make clothing appear its just reused material that we shape how we want.

Humans although now have minor magic capabilities most can only use very basic magic manipulating clothe for a human takes several days just to make a slave kinda sad actually.umans end up wearing the same clothing for most of their lives and only clean and repair. They may have a few other sets to change things up but generally they don't.

Anywho lets get back to my badass attire. Currently I am wearing jet black pants a chainmail shirt and a very white long-coat with a hood. On my back stand a massive 5foot 6 inches heavy sword. In case your wondering about my wings no the don't get crushed and yes it does help me hide my invisible wings.

For those who are complaining about how the physcs to draw such a big sword from a scabbered...who said I was using a scabbered I'll leave you to figure out the mechanics of how that works its not that amazingly complicated you just need some. Strong flexible straps and back clip that holds the sword from the hilt then unclips upon swinging it downward.

Now the sleaves on my long-coat are Rolled up to the elbow and I have some arm gaurds attached. I do have some gloves on for the extra grip and yes they are fingerless when weilding a sword especially a giant ass heavy sword you need palm grip however your fingers generally have better grip then any entity made material besides instead of making such hard to make gloves with magic I can just make my fingers magnetic. Further helps with the sword grip.

Remember what I said about shadows well they can take physical form they will never be demons but when a humans physical thoughts are bad the shadows manefest. The strongest shadows can make an Arch-angel run for his life.

But shadows like that are rare infact it could be said that it 2or 3ave ever been recorded but they could never kill an arch angel that strength cones at the price of speed. As a result they were killed after a while.

As I was walking towards the town one such minor shadow attacked me it had the form of a wolf.

Shadows that take the form of animals tend to represent certain strong emotions and are not necessarily evil infact some of them can be tamed this one was wild the tamed ones never have malicious intent.

Wolfs are normally symbols of familia love pride honor and rule. This seems to be a good town. Town shadows that are most prevalent on the outskirts are a good indicator of what the general populace is like.

The town had a 2 feet high wall nothing impressive considering the ramains of towering buildings not that far away but impressive non the less.

"Halt who are you stranger. State your name your affiliation if you have any and your purpose."

"Diel Angelo no affiliation currently as for a purpose does a traveler really need one," I replied.

"Angelo.... Hmm are you of the wing folk?" The guard asked unsure as humans also shared that last name couple that with the golden eyes....

"Imma half I got wings to but other then looking pretty I can't fly human weight is just too much on the bright side my magic is stronger so it helps in a pinch if I use all my magic power and wings I can at the very least fly a few hundred meters." Normally I would not be very honest which is bad however the wolf shadow was a good sign for honorable type so I would prefer to stay honest if possible.

"Your pretty honest but then halves are normally pittied due to angels and fallen always hunting them your welcome into the town but keep your wings invisible I can't guarantee you won't be kicked out but you don't seem to bad. Definitely not an angel at least those bastereds are souless everything is either white or black to them. Fallen are a bit more tolerable but when their bad they are fucking bad, halves at leasthe ones of angel decent are easy to get along with though they are far rarer theb n fallen halves. Your eyes pretty much tell everything don't get into any trouble you got it."

"Yessir," I did a salute with a rather sarcastic grin on my face. While then jumping past him.

"Cheeky brat," guard said with a smile its been a while since we got the honest type to visit the wolves have been declining halks aren't bad though easier to deal with anyway. Good mounts too if you can get a big enough one. The guard thought with a personal monologue.

Town was bussling with noise it was high noon as such it was only natural there would be business. Oh yea when God died the universe basically implodded no planets or suns where destroyed rather all the planets in existence fused and all the suns in existence fused basically if it was rock it here in-between the sun and new earth are layers of different zones the zones are made up of different gasses and land masses. Actually the new earth has half the world in darkness for 1 million years and 2illion years for full rotation humanity can't live down there yet in order to they would need to strengthen their magic abilities very much just to withstand the gravity. Currently the lowest human colonization is in the 48 zone. Each human at that zone can hold their own against a young fallen which is what I am.

I am in the 67one at the moment each zone contains life as well as these massive floatingnland fragments. Luckily earth is rather small in the whole comparison and finish breaking apart at the 21st zone. So humanity survived. Barely. Although some individuals have traveled as low as the 44zone but I believe thats the record as of the moment.

In case your wondering how people get to lower zones they just fall. Upon entering a new zone you are teleported to the nearest land mass. Still haven't figured out how that works but then I am not really that smart. Going up requires either wings or a shadow beast capable of flight hot airbloons also work but are not used unless their are no other options and fair for the airbloons is massive.

Their is a colonization of half's on the 35th zone and fallen have gone as low as the 20th that's all the info I have atm. And as luck would have it other multiverses were not effected much which means sending this book of my life to an unaffected universe may be extremely helpful after all the only difference between. Multiverses are generally the laws that govern them if a calamity that effects one universe in its entirety happens others will follow perhaps a little latter or a little earlier on the timeline.

Going into an inn called stars no more I moved towards the bar.

Your strongest drink please." I asked the bar tender.

"You look 15thats probably not a good idea lad"

"Half"

"Guard let you in?"

"Yup"

"Very well but your paying a bit extra not because I don't like you but half's sleep in hammocks and pulling one out is a pain in the ass plus your appitites are fucking huge don't even mention a teenage boy."

"Reasonable, currency system? Zone change," I stated.

The norm, 100silver to 1 copper 100 copper to 1 gold

And 100 gold to 1 platinum, " bartender stated.

"How much?"

" 50copper"

"15," I countered.

"45," bartender obviously didn't want to go to low.

"30 final offer their are other inns in town," I stated.

"Very well profit is rather meager but 30pper a night is reasonable," he stated.

" any lots for sale I will probably end up staying long term need a break from traveling," I stated.

"Hmm ask Peter swallin tomorrow he is rather busy today but is free then. He works a forge but has gathered enough money to buy an estate in recent years his son already moved out and is smithing south side. Peter is interested in selling for 500 gold or 5 platinum.

A forge aye that's a good opportunity."so where can I find him," I said while pushing a copper towards him generally when a bartender beats around a bush for info he wants a few coin to remember.

"Ah, yes its about two miles east on the main road take a left when you have reached the bazaar. It will be two block down."

"Thanks"

Well I think I should finsh my bear and head up to my room the bartender had already placed a key on the counter.
