Once all people received Souls and incredible powers. Some were lucky enough to obtain the Soul of an ancient and powerful creature, but fate was not favorable to all. The world began to change, and creatures evolved. But, it was not the beginning of a new era. It was the end. A couple of months later, a dark mist appeared and destroyed the world. It was a dictate of destiny from which no one could escape. Wain Norheim was the world's best assassin and the only one who didn't get a soul. However, he was destined to gain the power to confront fate. Escaping through a portal into another world, he unknowingly began the apocalypse. Even the world failed to expel him.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Ern smiled as he gazed at the dark orb.
Alas nodded silently. He was more surprised than the others since he had just met Wain. He could not have even imagined that Wain possessed such destructive power.
"Looks like I won't be able to capture him by force now..." Erza muttered.
"Yes." Ern nodded, "You definitely missed your chance, but maybe you still have a chance. You can't tell your heart. That rule works the same for everyone."
'It's the power of the human...' Alice inwardly muttered.
The Dark Sphere made contact with the ants' nest, and the world seemed to stop for a moment. Ern quickly created a protective barrier, then a glow appeared in the sphere's center.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
