The Descent of Dawn

In a world where only the strongest survive, Azuma was at the very bottom of the chain. He lived a life of suffering and loss, where his dreams and hopes were confined in the social structure. However, a mysterious system update opens a new chapter of his life. It brings him closer to his dreams. Azuma races down the path of glory, towards a truth far more unsettling than anything, and unaware of the darkness that awaits… + + + Thanks for stopping by. Though the setting here is futuristic, the characters and places will retain some of their traditional touch. And as the setting is futuristic, a lot of things here won't follow the rules and laws of our current world. [PS: I do not own the cover art and all credits go to the respective owner]

Checkmate

The sirens wailed outside the building.

Elijah only acknowledged it with a glance of his eyes, ignoring the constant buzzing of his phone. His eyes narrowed a little, dark with evident malice, but his lips lifted into a soft smile.

"How troublesome," he said, "Saki-san really thinks calling some cops is a good idea?"

"It's not just them," she responded, getting up from the seat, "You also have some guests from Orion High."

"Bunch of kids?"

Elijah scoffed.

But this time, Saki smiled instead. Ever since she had met him, this was the only time she showed an actual reaction. The confidence was evident in her eyes.

Her voice was light yet firm as she stated.

"Don't forget those kids still remain one of the biggest rivals of Orion High."

Elijah slightly raised his chin, "And what proof they have? How are you going to tell them or the world about a secret many tried and failed to reveal?"
