A star...

'What just happened?'

Ian's world turned black and white. He didn't get the chance to react, nor to let out a gasp, even. He was killed on the spot. 

'Seriously? It's so embarrassing...'

He couldn't at least put up a fight. Wasn't it too stupid of a death? He'd gone through many shameful ends, but this one... was a bit too disappointing. After everything he went through in this round, it was going to end just like this?

And Ian had high hopes about this one peculiar life...

'But who was that man...'

Black hair, crimson eyes, and a strange choice of clothes... It was a face Ian could've never forgotten if he'd interacted with him before. And even if he somehow lost his memories regarding that man, the power he held was too great for him to overlook. This only meant that he'd never crossed paths with that person. 

So who was he?

'He's not a human. He's at least at the level of a demigod.'
