It´s has been quite a while since that party.

I am now 18 years old, i had been home schooled as i didn´t want to attend to a human school.

Don´t judgme i don´t like the human world at all.

All they do is pollute the enviroment.

And later when a crisis arrive only there ,does they begin to worry.

It´s disgusting.

One of the good points of them thou , is some of their culture.

Honestly i admire some humans , how despite with having everything against them , they still manage to defend themselves.

It´s truly a high paradoxical race.

Anyway i am on my way to see my father as apparently , he has called me.

I honestly don´t know what will it be.

But i have a hunch.

Riser has already been to recieve his own devil pieces.

And because of my situation i couldn´t even reach the minimum standard.

It´s all because of me that...

*Sighh*

Let´s forget about that, i have enough self blaming to work on.

Add that to the fact that i sometimes see my parents crying and saying repeteadly sorry.

It´s anger me my own weakness.

I know that there seems to be no cure ...

But i ....

But...

*Sigh*

Calm down , calm down.

Deep breaths ,deep breaths.

Anyway i have advance a lot in other fields such as hand to hand combat and strategy as well as manipulation.

And i have been praying or at least trying since i remember , that is why i honestly i am so exhausted.

But the gains paid off , now i am inmune to a certain extent to the speech of the bible.

Bu- Oh , its appear that i have arrived.

I have lost myself in my thoughts.

Let´s see what my father wants.

As soon as Regis arrive he was about to knock the door , but the doors were opened by themselves.

Lord Phoenix was sitting near the fireplace of his study and said without looking too much around.

"Come in"

Regis was a little lost about how his father knew he was here but he didn´t paid too much atention.

End Omni pov

'Hhahahahahahahh , this way i look like the cool lord and a handsome and cool dad'

'Best inversion ever' Thinks Lord Phoenix as he looks at the button under his desk.

"So ... father , do you need something from me?" Said Regis as he looks at me with those eyes that seems like the core of the sun.

Those red eyes that show indiference towards almost everything.

'Everything but us , obviously' Thinks Lord Phoenix smugly.

Plus he is really good to Ravel.

Yes, me and my wife had another baby.

THIS TIME IT WAS A GIRL, BEST DAY EVER.

'Good times , good times indeed' I think fondly of our family.

"Son ... i want to come with me to give you , your birthday presents"

"Okay" Replied Regis whith a shrug.

'This fuc***' I think with a twitch in my right eyebrow.

End Lord Phoenix Pov

Omni Pov

"Regis ..."

"Yes father?"

"Did i ever told you about the story of our clan?"

"I think that you have mentioned but it was some time ago "

"Okay , listen well.

Formerly a Throne, your Ancestor was a member of the Ars Goetia, one of the demons summoned by the biblical King Solomon. He was described as singing with the voice of a child, as well as being an excellent poet, teacher of the sciences, and singer. In particular, he was notable for swinging sweet melodies to the person who summons him, and can be greatly obedient to them. He commanded over 20 legions of demons here in Hell.

Interestingly, your Ancestor doesn't seem to be particularly fond of his status as a demon and wishes to return to Heaven after 1,200 years and regain his position as a Throne. This makes us stand as out as one of the more penitent demons in Hell."

"Wow ... i had kind of forgot that"

"Well almost all of the Phoenix family wants to return to heaven, but without strenght any ambition would be just a mere dream"

"So we mostly forgot that ambition"

"..."

"Anyway ... Here we are"

In front of them there was a large door with lots of magical locks in it.

"Here it is Regis"

"What is it dad?"

*Chuckle*

"Here is the family vault"

"Whoa"

"Behind this door there are countless treasures that the Phoenix family has been accumulating behind the backs of other devils"

Lord Phoenix opens the door.

"Come Regis"

"Uh... oh .... Yeah"

"This treasures were from all over the world and from a great array of activities"

"Some were from a treasure hunt some families members had participated in the past , some were from looting the fallen families in the great war , others were from the enemies , and others were inventions from your ancestors"

"What?"

*Chuckle*

"Surprised? You shouldn`t be , despite all , the Phoenix family had their history with geniuses"

"What they invented?"

"Oh ..."

*Chuckle*

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"Some things that will blow your mind kiddo..."

*Tch*

"Whatever you say old man"

End Pov

Regis Pov 

Upon entering, I find myself standing on a floor paved with dark, iridescent stones that seem to shift and shimmer as if lured by some devilish charm. An eerie, bioluminescent fungus clings to the walls, casting an otherworldly, ethereal glow that highlights the grotesque beauty of the chamber.

The walls themselves are made of volcanic stones , it was amazing really , between the breathtaking view and the fact that actual lava flow in the stones that consist the floor and walls, pulsating with an ominous heat that resonates through the chamber. Carved into this stones are serpentine symbols, which slither and writhe, that seems to be whispering blasphemous secrets to those who dare to listen.

A ceiling of obsidian mirrors reflects twisted, nightmarish visions, creating a sense of vertigo as you navigate the vault. Hanging from the mirrored ceiling are ethereal chains adorned with the preserved souls of traitors and thieves who dared to challenge the security of this sacred place, their anguished wails echoing throughout the room in a never ending loop.

But my father told me that one shout from the Lord of the House of Phoenix and they will shut up.

At the heart of the chamber lies a grand altar, seemingly crafted from molten brimstone, perpetually burning with blue flames that emit a haunting, melodious hum. Besides the altar there appears to be countless of treasures and minerals as well as coins, there were some objects that i could recognise no matter how hard i try.

The room is filled with macabre art as well as some heavenly art. Portraits of the Fenix in heaven , another portrait shows The Phoenix demolishing his enemies. Sculptures of Phoenixes figures carved from obsidian, their eyes aflame with an incomparable amount of bestiality. Shadowy apparitions, twisted souls of those who had made unholy pacts with the family and had died, flutter about, whispering forgotten secrets to anyone who will listen.

As you step further into the vault, you begin to hear a haunting, dissonant melody, as if the very air itself were singing a requiem for those who dared enter. The scent is a mix of burning brimstone, exotic incense, and the distant, metallic tang of burnt blood.

After a while of walking and seeing things that had blow his mind.

Lord Phoenix stop Regis and he give him something .

"Here Regis , this is yours" Said Lord Phoenix as he give Regis a box with things.

"What ... What are these?" 

That is the only thing that comes to my mouth after opening the box.

The box was black with a red ribbon.

After opening the box what was inside baffled me.

There were a pair of black gloves .

(Image)

There were also a couple of Rings.

(Image)

(Image)

And there were another box that contained chess elements.

When i see the last thing , my pupils shrink.

"Dad .. is this?"

"Hahahahah , didn`t see that coming right?"

"I , uh , oh"

"HAHAHAAHA"

"Ahhhh , it`s been a while since i have laugh like that"

"Anyway , yes , they are devil pieces"

"But ... how..."

"A member of our family died before he could get the pieces so they remain here , he couldn`t even inject his Demonic energy , so they are like a white sheet of paper"

"Before you said anything , this pieces will be waiting for you to unlock your energy and get out of this abnormal situation"

"The gauntlets were something that one of your ancestor create , i honestly have no idea as to how they work"

"The rings are 1 for storage and the other is a relic of the family to remind you that no matter what , we will always love you"

I already know that.

But for him to say this.

I can`t help it but be a little emotional.

And i couldn`t even stop the tears from coming out of my eyes.

'I am truly weak , heh' I think while trying to whipe out the tears.

"T,t,t,Thaank , Thank you dad"

"It`s nothing son , and remember , we will always be with you" 

"Now let`s go as i have to accompany your mother , sister and your brother to go shopping"

"I wish i could take you but-"

"Dad , stop , i understand" I reply with a small smile on my face.

*Sigh*

"What i deserve to have a magnificent son like you"

He then hug me and proceed to leave.

"Take your time , i will be outside the vault"

After my father exit the vault , i begin to put a lot of golds , coins , gems and money in the ring as one would never know if someday he would need something.

After i exit the vault we both part ways.

"Be carefull son and have a nice day"

"You too Dad"

After parting with my father i go to my room to study a bit more and i was mentally exhausted so i fell asleep.

I was dreaming of having wings and fly in the sky , like a free bird.

As of now i mostly feel like a caged bird.

My parents and family tried to change the situation.

But there is a limit as to how much they could do.

I ...,after the incident with some servants and the news that came from the doctor , my apathy towards everything was set as high as the sky.

I tried to train to distract this thoughts about weakness...

But no matter how hard i train...

No matter how many things i study...

In the end , i can´t wash away the only thing that has been with the with the day i was born...

My sin ...

The original sin...

Weakness...

I am tired of ALWAYS TRYING AND TRYING , FOR WHAT HUH?!

FOR SOME MORE TALENTED PERSON COME AROUND AND JUST DITCH AWAY ALL OF MY EFFORTS.

FOR SOMEONE WHO IS A SPOILED PEOPLE , WHOSE FAMILY GIVE HER EVERYTHING SHE ASK , SHE ONLY HAS TO LOOK CUTE TO HER BROTHER AND THE MOTHERF***** DOES WHAT SHE WANTED WITHOUT BLINKING.

OR SOMEONE WHO ONLY IS STRONG BECAUSE HE TOUCHED A PAIR OF BOOBS.

I HATE THIS UNFAIR WORLD , I FUCKING HATE IT TO THE CORE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A PERVERT YOU GET THINGS DROPPED TO YOU BY SOME KIND OF WILL OF THE WORLD.

BULLSHIT.

BUT!!!

But...

what can i do?...

After all ...

I am weak...

I can´t do anything right now because it will raise flag like

"Who are you?" 

"How did you know this?"

"Why did you do this?"

Worst of all because of this it only brings chains to myself, and even now i can´t speak freely some ideas or investigate some matters that keeps me on the edge.

Will there be a day when i rise from these invisible chains that surrounds me?

Will i be kept in this prison?

Or 

Will i break free...

And return to the heavens?...

*Sigh*

There is no use to think about this stuff right now.

I need some sleep.

I suppose i deserve a proper break from months and months of training.

Maybe drop down my guard a little and enjoy the little times.

Well , now to sleep i guess.

*Yawnn*

Today was a hectic day after all.

 *Zzz*

In the heart of the Phoenix castle, a bedroom of opulent beauty and storied history was brought to life by a captivating fusion of art and martial heritage. This was a room that epitomized both elegance and strength, where the walls were adorned with mesmerizing Phoenix paintings and various weapons were displayed, a testament to the family legacy.

The walls of the bedroom were a canvas for a collection of exquisite Phoenix paintings that celebrated the mythical bird's symbolism of rebirth and renewal. Each piece was a masterpiece in its own right, capturing the grace and power of the Phoenix with vibrant hues and intricate detail.

One painting, placed above an intricately carved wooden bed, featured a Phoenix soaring through a sky ablaze with golden and crimson hues , above the Phoenix there some kind of kingdom , this picture represents the forgotten family ambition to return to heaven. Its outstretched wings exuded an otherworldly radiance, and the feathers seemed to flicker with life. Another painting, opposite the windows, showed a Phoenix perched atop a gnarled tree branch, its plumage a dazzling array of fiery colors.

These paintings imbued the room with an air of mystical enchantment, as if the Phoenix's mythical presence permeated the very walls, creating a connection between the room calm and the fantastical.

Adorning the walls of the bedroom were various weapons, each one a testament to the previous castle's residents martial history and the valor of its defenders. Swords, spears, and shields hung as both decorative pieces and reminders of the castle's heritage.

A set of antique swords, their blades etched with intricate patterns and inlaid gemstones, was meticulously arranged in an ornate display. They reflected the craftsmanship of the era and bore the insignias of noble families connected to the castle's lineage as well as an era were all the factions fought for domination.

Among the weapons, a majestic Phoenix-blade took a place of honor. Its hilt was adorned with a fiery Phoenix motif, and its blade shimmered with a mysterious iridescence, reminiscent of the bird's legendary rebirth from its own ashes. The sword was a relic from an ancestor of Regis , the sword was crafted by him and weilded in battle but as Regis doesn´t like to use the sword too much , he hang the sword in his wall as a testament of his admiration and affection for his family , the sword was rumored among humans to possess the protective spirit of the Phoenix , which was far from the truth, a powerful artifact with a history intertwined with the castle's own.

The juxtaposition of Phoenix paintings and weapons transformed the bedroom into a space that encapsulated both beauty and strength. It was a room where the legacy of the Phoenix and the castle's heritage harmonized, reminding those who reside inside of the castle's enduring history and the importance of preserving its heritage above all.

And in the bed there is a young man sleeping soundly , unaware of the danger that is coming.

As he was sleeping a figure walks in the halls of the phoenix mansion , some of the servants are dead and other ones are sleeping.

This figure is walking but he is little by little accelerating.

The figure appears to be nervous.

The figure is tall 1.80 cm with black clothes that hides his identity.

After remembering his objective one last time he goes to a room.

He opens a door that has a label that has written "Regis".

He aproach quietly to the bed.

And in one motion he does a chop to the neck to the body in the bed.

But his punch didn´t seem to work.

'What the hell!?' The shadow thinks before turns the bed upside down and see that it was a couple of pillows who he punch.

'Where is it' The shadow ask himself as now he has his objective on the loose , meaning that this could backfire the whole operation.

Meanwhile

Regis was hiding behind one of the portraits , he woke up the moment he listen someone was opening his door so he open the portrait above his bed and just sat there silently to see if the perpetrator spit some information.

But apparently the perpetrator was smart and didn`t reveal information.

So Regis utilicing the secret pathways that the house of Phoenix has , he begin to search for the servants of the house.

'come on , come on' Thinks Regis as he was about to reach the exit.

A playfull voice came from behind him.

"You didn`t think that i hadn`t notice you , did you?" 

After hearing this voice Regis hand start to tremble because he didn`t even sense the opponent breath , sound , anything!!!

He turn his head around , but just about he was going to say something a strong kick landed on his ribs.

*Crack**Crack*

Completely shattering them.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Why are you screaming ? mmm" Said the cold voice as he grabs Regis Hair and force him to see him.

"We are just getting started" 

Regis manage to speak despite his pitfull condition.

"W ..h o .. ar .. e ...y,yyou?"

"Mmm , you don`t need to know about that , you only need to know something and that is that you are going to die"

"heh"

"Does death cause you fun? you are a weird guy , you know that?"

"But well..."

"Dead man tells no tales"

"I am honestly curious about something"

"And that is , how did you get a room being a servant?"

As soon as that come from his mouth , Regis brain went overdrive.

'Servant?'

'I see ... they doesn`t know who i am...'

'So this could only mean one thing ...'

'This was an attack to the family!'

"You know my associates are already killing your lords , i am here just to kill aall the loyals and sleep the ones that could be usefull later"

'This was a coordinated attack'

"I ...f ..s.o.m...e.t.hin...g. ha...ppe....ns.. t...o. t..hem... i.... w..ill...kill..yyyyou"

"Awww , how cute you are thinking you could even do that"

"It`s appear that i must do a reality check to you"

After that he throws Regis to a wall outside the passage.

End omni pov

Regis Pov

"Bleeeerghhh"

I can`t stop vomiting blood.

I feel that my internal organs are mostly destroyed.

I try to get up but i am stuck in this broken wall.

"Why the long face , oh i know what to do"

"Wh-"

'This fucker just sucker punch me!?'

*Crack*

"AHHHHHHHHH"

"Oh it`s appear that you have good pain tolerance"

"Let`s test the limit shall we"

And that was the last thing i saw before feeling a lot of pain going through my body.

*Booom*

I arrive to it`s appears to be my room.

Trying to stabilize my body with the help of my bed was difficult.

I grab the pair of gloves with my not-so broken hand.

After that i try to stay concious as i knew somebody will arrive.

And as i feel like an eternity has passed , nothing happens.

I am perplexed.

'Why hasn`t has he killed me by now'

'There 3 possible answers to that question

1 - He has escaped, highly unlikely because his objective would most likely be the extermination of the Phoenix family or at least the reduction of it.

2 - He is torturing me , this one made sense but i don`t think this is it , mainly because he doesn`t wait to long to torture me , either is that or my sense of time is decreasing because of the injuries

3 - Someone is blocking him or fighting him , this is the most likely one, if i had to bet someone would be my father peerage members or at least someone from his peerage.

And i hear a low whistle and like a missile an intruder arrive at the only sane wall that i had left.

'A shame really'

*Cough**Cough*

"What`s the matter ahving a bad day?"

"SHUT UP KID"

"Oh i see , i didn`t know you were that type ..."

*Chuckle**Cough*

"Tsun Tsun"

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU KIDDD!!!!"

"But first..."

And with that he grabs me by the neck and i think he is planning to use me as a hostage.

"Don`t do any sudden move if you want to live" He said that to my ear.

I want to roll my eyes so bad.

'How would i move if i have most of my bones broken'

"I would suggest you to stop if you don`t want to see the kid be killed"

And with that , what`s appers to be my fathers knight appeared.

He was injured but not as much as the terrorist who is holding me.

"Release him"

"NOW!!!"

After that he begin to release his demonic energy , which cause me to vomit blood.

Now he widends his eyes in horror seeing who the terrorist was holding.

And he inmediatly withraw the Demonic energy.

"Now , why i would do that to my only ticket out of this place alive"

"Now now don`t get excited , i will tell you wha-"

I cut him headbutting my head to him.

My fathers knight attack him with all of his might and severely injured him.

But the fuck** has a resiliance of a horse and just punch my fathers knight who couldn`t dodge.

All of this happens in seconds.

"NOW THAT FUCK-"

He vomits blood.

I manage to grab the set that was in the bed.

I thought i could use it as a distraction, but it`s appears he is very fast.

As he grabs me again by the neck and a magic circle appears at the feet of him.

I couldn`t distinguish anything as the blood loss plus my condition is a very bad combination.

As i haven`t had the phoenix regeneration due to my condition.

But before teleporting.

The knight of my fathers make a quick slash that disrupts the attention of the caster.

And shit hits the fan.

End Pov

Omni pov

After the knight does the last shoot to stop the spell, he screw it by not disrupting the caster well enough.

As well know to use the telepotation spell you need 3 things.

1 - Demonic energy to use the spell

2 - Be focused while doing the teleportation

3 - Have a destination in mind

Now what happens when the spell is active and you are not focused and neither have you a destination in your mind due to being distracted?

Well you could arrive at any place at random and with severe limbs in most case , in the lucky case nothings happens to you.

And that is exactly what Regis is feeling now that he has been thrown in street in the middle of Japan at night. 

He was lucky nothings happens to him , the same couldn`t even be said for the caster who was missing his right arm and his head.

End Pov

Regis Pov

Falling of a few metres and then roll at a random street in what appears to be Japan while being injured wasn`t even the original plan.

*Cough**Cough*

I try to open my eyes and i succed.

I,i,i see the sky.

It`s beautifull.

'I,is t.h.a..t... sno...w..?'

I see white things falling and it`s appears to be snow.

'I...i ,a..m go...inng.. to...d....i....e.....am....i?

'Sorry Ravel , your big brother won`t be there for you'

'Sorry brothers , your little brother won`t be seeing you again'

'Sorry Raiser , i know you have a big heart , i love to train with you and despite you being a very talented individual you always trat me with respect and love, i will miss my twin'

*Cough**Cough**Cough*

I feel my face wet.

I see...

I am crying am i?

'Sorry Mother for make you worry about me , sorry that i ended up as a complete failure , i am sorry that i won`t be there to spend time with you, i am really sorry mother , you are the best mom every child could ask for'

*Sniff**Sniff*

'Sorry Father, you who gave me everything and even then i couldn`t even make you proud , sorry for making you worried about me , sorry that you have a child so pathetic that he could even awaken the Phoenix gen , for not awakening demonic energy too, Sorry for being unable to smile'

'SORRY TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING YOU WORRY ABOUT ME , FOR CRYING FOR ME , FOR FEELING SO MUCH TO A USELESS LIKE ME'

'THEY HAVE SUFFERED BECAUSE OF ME'

'BECAUSE OF ME THEY HAVEN`T BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP WELL IN A WHILE'

'ALL BECAUSE OF ME'

'IF I WEREN`T SO WEAK , NOTHING OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED'

'I HATE IT'

' I HATE MYSELF BECAUSE OF IT'

'BUT!!!'

'But what can i do...'

'IF IT WEREN`T FOR THIS CONSTITUTION'

'I WOULDN`T HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS'

'IF I WASN`T SO WEAK , I WOULDN`T HAVE TO WORRY MY PARENTS , MY FAMILY SO MUCHH!!!'

'Wait ... my ... family?'

'The terrorist had said that someone will take care of them'

'THIS WAS A COORDINATED ATTACK , I HAVE TO SAY THIS TO THEM'

I tried to move as but i can`t.

'MOVE DAMMIT'

'MOVE'

Suddenly i feel more and more powerless.

'Now i see more and more darkness'

'This is the end'

' Stay awake'

'I don`t want to die'

'I'

'Don`t'

'Want'

'To'

'Die'

And then i feel my heart stop beating.

'Goodbye world, to the one up there i am gratefull that you have let me reincarnated , and i am sorry family , i won`t be able to tell you...'
