1 The Start

Archfiend. A term for a powerful demon. This one, well, he was powerful, but not in the way of the others. Most demons have no abilities, except for special traits and some increased stats, but this one seemed to be able to produce anything. He called this system "Magic".

But here's the catch. He didn't look like any normal demon. Most demons had a human like appearance, with some differences. This one, on the other hand, was quite different, yet again. He looked like a dragon, a being lost in time, but with a human structure. This was apparant at his birth, 12/7/2030

This demon was living in a form of castle, on his home planet, Demia. The castle was extravagant, filled with things to do, like sprinting, a room full of creations, and even a conference room, which was never used. Even with all these things to do, he still got bored easily. He longed to see outside of the castle, for he had never left it, as it was built before he was born.

He had been placed here, because the current ruler, Sec, didn't want people to find out about him. There would have been widespread panic. The only thing keeping the magical demon in the castle was the words mentioned by Sec.

"If you ever leave, your magic will be gone".

This was the sole thing that scared him, because he didn't want to lose his abilities. He had grown attached to them. They were his abilities. They were like his building blocks of creation.

We have now reached the current day. Demia, 19/8/2052. The magical demon was now 22 years old, and thought he could finally make his own decisions. He never had experience with the outside world, so he didn't know really anything.

He decided to leave this place, and see the outside world. His planet was... gone. It had never existed. Where did it go? Well, turns out that ten years earlier in his life, he had made illusion magic that let him create a little world of his own, and forget about it.

He was left to fly through space, when he saw an interesting ball. This ball was Earth. This version of Earth, however, is filled with people who have their own abilities, although not near as strong.

This is the story of the magical demon, who decided to go by two of his favourite names but together.

Nibiru, The Eyes of Red.

Nibiru had seen Earth, and was curious as to what lived on it, so he flew down into the atmosphere, and did not burn. The reason why was unknown to even Nibiru himself, but it probably had something to do with his draconian appearance.

He landed in the middle of the countryside, in the country of Ireland. However, this wasn't the Ireland you would see from day to day. This was the Ireland 32 years in the future. Everything was mechanised, and even Nibiru could see that before crashing down. He had landed in a field, where a group of teenagers were running around, messing with eachother. When they heard the sound of the ground being smashed they went and checked it out.

The one leading the pack was called Shawn, with his friends Michael, Shane and Aaron. They all were about 16, so they were teenagers. They all saw Nibiru, and ran for the hills, but not before Nibiru could take a look at Shawn, and use one of his Magic Skills, because he needed to blend in with the human, because after all, they were so different.

"Transformation Magic: Copy"

This special magical power, was the ability to copy everything the chosen target had available to them. This included looks, voice, favourite speech, and even their Aura.

But something strange happened. His System notified him.

The System was a piece of magic created by Nibiru that let him see his health, stats, stamina and other cool things. But here is what the system notified him:

"Ability Detected. Obtained by copying 'Human Being: Shawn Hearne'. Ability: Electricity. Do you accept this ability into your body?"

This had been relayed to Nibiru after he transformed. He had a feeling that he should accept this ability, so he could truly blend in.

"Yes", was the simply message he relayed to the system.

Suddenly, he could feel a strange but surprisingly weak energy flowing into his body. It felt like his body had just felt a slight breeze.

His System notified him again, this time with the words: "Ability Accepted: Electricity (Super Strong)".

Nibiru then realised something. 'If this is a super strong ability, what is my strength?'

Nibiru realised that he had to try and blend in with this "Human" society. Who knows what they could do? Although, he did have to admit one thing. Their abilities were weak. Too weak.

He walked out of the field, and saw something interesting. There was no other fields, only roads. Roads going in every direction, all leading to one place. A city called Foulksmills. A name that had been there for decades, signifying its rise from a small village into a huge city.

Foulksmills was home to 169,000 people, and more were still entering, while people rarely left. This was because they could find a new life here, a life they could enjoy.

People were happy here, and enjoyed their time here, for a decent amount of people they knew would be here, and that they could visit them at any time, if they so wished.

It was truly a beautiful city, but there was also some downsides.

There was a system in place, a military system. This was to train people and their abilities, so that they could go out into the world prepared, and not be discriminated by their strength.

People with stronger powers would often bully the people with lower powers, so that they could feel stronger. Better than anyone.

When people went out into the world, they had a few choices ahead of them: They could join the military, they could find a job which suited their abilities, or they could become a gladiator, a person who duels another for the entertainment of the people.

Nibiru walked into the city, looking like your ordinary human being, a 16 year old going by the name of Shawn Hearne. But what Nibiru didn't know, is that 16 is the age where people are forced to go to the military for 2 years, so they could make their abilities stronger. And it just so happened, that the school year started today.

Nibiru was walking around Foulksmills, minding his own business, when two men in black approached him. One of the said, "Shawn Hearne, it is time for you to go to the military school". Another one placed his hand on Nibiru's back, and pushed him towards the centre of the city, where the military school was located.

All Nibiru was going to say was "OK.", but the things going through his head were reasonable.

'What's going on? Where are they taking me? Why are they taking me away from the city? What will they do?'

After ten minutes of walking, the unacquainted group of three arrived at the military school, 'S3: Alpha'. It was one of the more known military schools, but nowhere near the most famous.

This was because of one school that had become super famous. This school was 'S9: Purity'. They once housed a student who went by the name 'Sin', who turned out to be the most powerful skill user that had gone to a military school. He had actually thanked them for putting up with him while he was at school, and this boosted the school's popularity tenfold.

The Military school was a five story building, bland in texture. It had a simple black and white colour scheme, like it didn't want to stand out among the other buildings.

Inside however, it was bustling with new students, all of them 16, excited at the prospect of getting stronger. They all realised that they would have to do normal subjects aswell, but that didn't bother them. All they focused on was getting better at using their abilities.

Nibiru walked along a corridor filled with people, wondering why he was here, when an announcement was made over a series of speakers.

"Welcome to the military school, S3: Alpha. In this school, we will make you stronger. Both mentally and physically. You will learn how to truly use your abilities to their limit, and how to properly control them."

This sent all the students into a loud yelling fit, all excited about getting stronger, except for one comically unamused human. Shawn Hearne.

Nibiru, pretending to be Shawn Hearne, walked through the flock of children, and got to the front, where people were being handed their room keys. The receptionist called up "Shawn Hearne", and gave him the room key for 'Room 105'. He walked down along the corridor, which housed the dormitories for the rooms 100 to 130. He entered the room, and found out that three people were meant to share a room. He reasoned that nobody would enter the room just yet, so he disabled his transformation skill, so he could relax for a bit.

Then, the door opened, and a human being called Micheal Sheehan walked in...
