Prologue

<Anthony POV>

Welcome to my world, a world closest to the description of fiction, horror and sci-fi combined.

Currently the only thing that stands between us and being attacked by "them" are the towering wall and force field that are capable of keeping out low -> mid high level diseased.

The diseased are what the scientists came to a conclusion of "genetically altered humans carrying all kinds of diseases" though they are still unsure of what could have caused this phenomenon that could not only mutate the physical appearance of these infected humans (extra body parts from all kinds of creatures whether they are unknown, existing, or extinct), but also their composition.

The "infection"- also known as The Plague - started in the early years of the 20th century around Eastern Europe, spreading in a way fast enough that only a few countries in Asia and fewer states in America were able to prevent the infection from affecting them. The exact origin and time of this plague is unknown. The results were that each country/state became isolated by building a barricade ( that soon became towering walls); havoc ran through their government; rapid drain of supplies (food, water…) ; and the devastation of the people (loss of their loved ones, hunger, lack of medical supplies and treatment…).

A few decades passed until they completely lost the will to help those left outside the walls who were mostly commoners- concentrating only on the development of vaccines, DNA mutation, army defenses, and the restoration of the new world. It wasn't until a few years past that a scientist, Dr. James P. Santiago, discovered the secrets of human mutation giving mankind one last thread of hope to fight against these monsters.

The mutation of wings and enhanced senses –also called the vaccine "ABPT-0313" only given to the few who had a chance in surviving the side effects of the process.

Now civilization has once again taken a stand with its citizens, only the children of the previous generation's nobility, scientists, and all other higher class people you could think of but now all back to the normal system of humanity, starting from the bottom, those who fell from their position during the reformation period (poor) up to the new leaders of each country (rich).

But some make an exception for they are under the management of the government and thus have no possesions at all. The soldiers of the new world, those who have successfully adapted to "ABPT-0313" called the new gens.

These new gens have a system of their own. They are divided into three groups during their academy years. The S class, those who have developed powers like telekenisis, pyrokinesis, etc. The A class who excel in physical and academic aspects, and the other class, B.

The S class have very few to no students, the A classes have an average of 15 during the first years and decreeses to about 3 by the time we graduate and become full fledged soldiers. The B classes have the most at 18 at the start and 20 by the end.

When they graduate the S class automatically become the generals or higher and are deemed as heroes, the A class become the second in commands but can get higher up the lader and the B class are the foot soldiers.

But of course they are all elites. And are the only ones who go past the wall.

The ABPT-0313 is the abreviation for Angel Base Proto Type, district 3, experiment number 13. But only a few actually know that. Why I know? Well... you'll find out soon enough.

As the name states, they are thought to be "angel"-like beings. But truthfully, the genetics are actually more similar to birds than they are to heavenly beings.

Their wings are of different colors but the most common ones are brown, grey, and black. They can also have mixed or many colors at the same time.

'I personally feel sorry for the poor lad who had pink feathers, btw he is a year above me.'

These new gen can also grow thicker and longer nails on will much like claws and can retract them whenever they want. They don't actually use it much in battle though as they are trained with weapons. (Something like a last resort). They also have sharper eyesight and hollow bones (really much like birds) made for flight.

One more thing is that they spend an average of 10 years in the academy but can be called to the front lines at any time. (Names of those called are posted on the 'war' board every Tuesday and they report to the flight lanes to go over the wall along with the full fledged soldiers every midday on Saturday the same week.

Everyone I knew who did get called reported back months or even years later. Sometimes heavily injured... sometimes never at all.)

The war board is also where they post the updates concerning what is going on outside the wall concerning about the infected. Other news are posted in their own board category.

Oh yeah and don't worry all the new gen are either orphans who volunteered themselves or those whoes parents have given their consent.

So, hi there! ~ My name is Antoine Verbithe Mithe Francois ( pronounced as antowine vurbith mith franqua) (blond hair purpleish grey eyes) but I prefer Anthony, and this is my story.

Just in case you're wondering, my father is James P. Santiago (blond hair brown eyes) and my mother is Maria M. Francois (black hair black eyes) who was the top strategist soldier until she snapped her ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) (doñt know how) which has brought her into a wheelchair, and… I am adopted.

Well, they don't know that I knew the fact about myself being adopted since we never really talked, and also the history of my name.

Truth is when I was about eight years old I snuck down to my father's laboratory at night since I wanted him to escort me to the bathroom thinking that if I go there alone a monster would pop out of the toilet and drag me with it, but then I had discovered some documents that fell down to my father's feet.

I took hold of the file and took a curious peek and saw pictures, and documents of me, I immediately hid it under my shirt after I heard the sound of my father waking up. As soon as he adjusted his eyes to the lighting of the room he scolded me, that I was not allowed in his lab, then I just sort of got frightened and… peed there, but that does not matter anymore it's in the past!

I soon got to my room and found out about everything, that I was adopted to be infused with ABPT-0313 and was the first "child" to be found with a 100% DNA matc; therefore, "A" for Anthony. Then apparently, the government found 2 more children before they discovered a friend of mine back at the orphanage so, "D", Damian. As well as the fact that those they found before me were men 30-50 years old who they tortured and experimented on in a secret facility. So I guess it kinda scarred me enough to leave a few but unnoticeable psychological problems.

It took me two years before it all finally sank in and I was able to accept it and breathe again. No hard feelings though because even if I was not sure if it was fake or not, I received "love" from my parents and could visit them every weekend though I preferred not to.

I also have my childhood friend with me back at the academy, Damian (brown hair lighter brown almost gold eyes) , who was smart when it came to academics but an airhead in all other topics, in other words he is the smiling idiot we all know and love but only I know that he is my hyper active shojou manga obsessed moron who loves to practice saying romantic (CHEEZY!!! *bleh) lines with me every day just so he could say it to his future wife.

If I hadn't known better I would have said either he was trying to make me gag all over the place or was trying to act as the perfect prince figure he got from reading all of those shojou mangas and tried to make me fall in love with him. But nah, I know him and he is definitely not gay. So he is just an idiot.

I saw a mountain of /it shall stay unnamed/ and other /unnamable/ magazines stashed under his bed. How he got them is a mistery. How he was able to hide it from the military like faculty of our school is part of the seven mysteries of the school.

(There is a famous japanese high school story / rumor about each school having their own 7 mysteries. It is horror to just scare people. If you do not know about it then search it.)

There are also others who I got close with easily after entering the academy , like Kathryn (red hair orange eyes), Emilly (blond hair blue eyes), and Oliver (black hair green eyes). I also have that one person I just can't help but hate, ironically he also came from the same orphanage as Damian and I, his name is Josh (light brown hair black eyes), short for Joshua, and as sad as I was to admit it, he was not unfortunate looking. The good part was that I was smarter than him~ then again… he was towering over me though which pissed me off most of the time. Good thing he was not taller than Damian though! Haha Or else that would just suck~

I also have a secret I hide from others. There is a girl I like. She is just a commoner but I couldnt help falling in love with her.

She has beautiful dark brown hair and green eyes. She sits in a wheel chair, she never told me why. But she is still beautiful even more so than any "angel" I have seen or can imagine.

Her name is-
