Chapter 2 - Nexus Academy [1]

In the beginning before time, the universe existed. God created Angels and Heaven.

A being that is not bound by time. Their purpose was to serve Him and worship Him.

God wasn't satisfied with the angels. Even though they were given will and thought, the angels served Him like a machine.

Bound by faith and rules…

They didn't use their will…

So,

God created the universe and with it, He created many lives.

Small, big

Some with massive intelligence

Some with less intelligence.

He gave them free will. They were allowed to do whatever they wanted, only bound by the limits of their physical form.

Eons later,

They evolved.

Some achieved light-speed travel. Some became multi-planetary species…

God was happy seeing His creations achieve this.

God asked His angels to observe His creations.

He asked them to bow to them.

He told them the lives in the universe were far more superior than the lives of angels.

The angels agreed; they bowed to the new lives.

But

Some didn't.

God's most loyal angel refused to bow to the kinds that were far lesser species.

God asked him to bow, but he refused…

God became disappointed with His most loyal angel…

So

He banished him

He had fallen from the grace of heaven.

He was stripped of his position and banished to The Purgatory.

A place where all His flawed creations are put.

The angel was angry…

He was disappointed with God, that He banished him for a bunch of low-life creatures.

So

He started a war. A war to kill all the creatures God loved.

In1914,

Suddenly one day, all around the world, many wormholes appeared.

Humanity was baffled by them. They started to study them in hopes of understanding them.

But,

Then out of nowhere one day, the wormholes broke, and creatures from The Purgatory came out.

All hell broke loose. The weapons of mankind were not strong enough to fight the creatures of The Purgatory. Humanity was powerless against these creatures and countless people died.

In this dire moment, the world leaders chose to use their secret weapon.

"TheAtomicBomb"

They realized some sacrifices were needed for the rest of humanity to survive.

They dropped the atomic bombs and a billion people died, but they managed to repel the invasion.

Some people called them monsters for choosing to kill their own people.

By1918,

The invasion was over. Lots of people died. The economy crashed. The aftermath was horrible. To make sure the future generation never forgot about this war, they called it,

'The First Cataclysm'

The peace was slowly restored.

People slowly started to recover from their loss of loved ones. Everyone started working together to rebuild their home.

But the peace didn't last long...

Twenty-one years after the first cataclysm.

In1939,

Two decades later, the wormholes started to appear again.

Humanity was devastated. They barely managed to repel the first cataclysm.

Now another one had come.

Just when humanity was about to lose hope,

other intelligent species came from the wormholes.

They came in peace.

Three species came to give a helping hand to humanity.

The first species was The Elves. They were tall, elegant, and otherworldly. Their luminous eyes watched mankind with quiet curiosity, and their ears were elongated and pointed. They spoke in a tongue that carried the weight of ages.

The second species was The Dwarves. They wore thick armor and wielded weapons of craftsmanship far beyond human hands. They were short but impossibly sturdy, their bodies built for war and labor alike. Their beards, often braided and adorned with metal rings, marked their status among their kin.

And finally, the third species was The Orcs. They introduced themselves with the sound of war drums echoing through the lands. They were muscular and had battle scars all over their bodies as a symbol of honor. Their tusks jutted from their lower jaws, their eyes burned like embers, and their deep voices carried the weight of a thousand battles.

They came forward with an alliance to help humanity repel the invasion in return for a place to live.

With them came Mana, a power that could kill the creatures of The Purgatory.

They taught mankind how to use mana.

With the help of other species, humanity launched a counterattack against the creatures of The Purgatory.

Another war began.

.

.

.

The war finally came to an end in nineteen forty-five.

During this war, humanity gained knowledge of the creatures that came from the wormholes.

They were demons. They came from Purgatory. The demons were led by a single being known as the Demon King. He was called

'The One in the Boiling Abyss'

The wormholes the demons used were known as abyss gates.

The demons destroyed the worlds of the other three species. Now they have set their fangs towards Earth.

Humanity realized the war was far from over.

Due to the two wars, North America and South America weren't suitable for living.

Humanity chose Asia to live.

They gave Europe to the Elves, Africa to the Orcs, and the USSR to the Dwarves.

They formed an alliance to save each other.

They shared resources and knowledge with each other.

With these resources and knowledge, humanity started working. They were evolving at a rapid rate.

With new knowledge and technology, humanity came together as one. They established a new government and a new system.

They started to prepare for a long, cold, and hard war.

March, 2099

One hundred and fifty-four years after the second invasion.

Humanity has evolved at a massive rate. There were no major invasions in the last one hundred and fifty-four years.

But

Demons still come from the abyss gates.

After the second invasion, also known as 'The Second Cataclysm,' humanity established many academies around the human continent to train the next generations that will fight against the demons.

The one that is at the heart of the human continent is known as 'The Nexus Academy.'

The current number one academy in the entire human continent.

Nexus Academy is the most prestigious academy for combat and magic in the entire human continent.

It is an elite institution that trains the future heroes that will fight against the demons.
