The Angel War

In the wake of the Angel War that ravaged the world centuries ago, the Holy Angels emerged triumphant, wresting control from their longstanding adversaries. The majority of the defeated fallen angels perished in the cataclysmic conflict, their presence vanquished from the realm. However, ancient legends whispered of a mystical force capable of harnessing the essence of the fairies, a force that could potentially aid in the resurgence of the fallen angels. Now, in the present day, the Holy Angels set their sights on purifying the vast and forsaken land that is Lost Continent. Within this lawless expanse, where the concept of a rule of law has been supplanted by the dominion of wealth, three mighty corporations have risen to prominence: Jackson Enterprises, Taira Trading Company, and Miguel Trading Company. Each corporation exerts its influence and vies for power, weaving intricate webs of manipulation and intrigue. Enter Ethan, a young man whose life is shrouded in mystery. Gifted with unparalleled swordsmanship skills from a tender age, Ethan's past is mired in darkness. At the age of eighteen, burdened by the weight of an alleged patricidal act committed under unknown circumstances, he abandons his village and embarks on a perilous journey that leads him to the sprawling city. There, his reputation as a skilled and merciless assassin begins to take root, attracting the attention of the city's influential enterprises. As Ethan's journey unfolds, his path intertwines with a diverse cast of allies and comrades. United by fate, they find themselves thrust into the center of a grand narrative that will shape the destiny of the world. Together, they will face the resurgence of both the Holy Angels and the Fallen Angels, forces that threaten to plunge the realm into chaos once more.

Unleashing the Unknown

As Ethan and the group made their daring escape from the city, a chilling event unfolded within the depths of Jackson Enterprise's top-secret laboratory. Deep within the facility, Bastian, the lead scientist responsible for exploring and testing DNA combinations, found himself in a state of nervous excitement. He had been instrumental in creating numerous DNA combinations for the ZGene DNA plug-in, enhancing human capabilities. But something unusual had occurred that morning when he reviewed a random DNA sequence generated by the computer. A hidden message became apparent, encrypted within a specific combination. Intrigued, Bastian attempted to reproduce the DNA sample in the printing room, only to discover a bewildering phenomenon—a modification of the DNA's own sequence, as if it possessed a consciousness of its own. Overwhelmed by the inexplicable, Bastian urgently called for an emergency meeting with CEO Jackson and the other scientists to share his astonishing findings.

Alistair, the head of technology, his face etched with concern, urged Bastian, "Please, demonstrate the issue you discovered this morning."

Bastian turned toward the computer simulator, his hands trembling slightly, and initiated the printing process for the DNA sample. As the machine whirred to life, a piercing warning alarm pierced the air, flashing the message "Energy overloaded" on the display screen. Bastian's eyes widened in disbelief.

"This... this didn't happen earlier today!" he exclaimed, his voice quivering with uncertainty. "What could possibly be happening?"

Suddenly, a radiant light engulfed the DNA printing room, forming the silhouette of a figure with wings. Jackson's voice faltered as he stared at the ethereal being before him. "Is... is that a human?"

The figure seemed nonchalant, its expression unchanging, as if annoyed by their presence.

Alistair, recognizing the gravity of the situation, barked orders to the soldiers standing nearby. "Soldiers, eliminate this... thing!"

In an instant, before the soldiers could react, a blaze of flames consumed them. Their anguished screams filled the room, only to be silenced as they turned to ash within seconds. The mysterious being finally spoke, its voice carrying an otherworldly quality.

"Foolish humans," it began, its words laced with both arrogance and a sense of superiority. "Have you forgotten who your master is?"

Jackson, a mix of fear and disbelief etched across his face, mustered the courage to question, "Bastian, what in the world have you created?"

Bastian, his own fear palpable, shook his head frantically. "No... this is beyond anything I could have created. The energy it possesses, it surpasses anything known to living organisms..."

The winged creature interrupted, its voice commanding their attention. "I am the master of this world. Those who defy me shall have their souls burned in eternal hellfire. Those who obey me shall be granted strength and power, to live forever."

Jackson, his voice quivering, couldn't help but ask, "You... you are a god?"

With an air of impatience, the creature responded, "I seek the Angel Heart. Find me the Angel Heart!"

Confusion clouded Jackson's mind as he struggled to comprehend. "Angel Heart? What is this Angel Heart you speak of?"

The creature's tone grew anxious, its urgency palpable. "The one marked with D666 possesses the Angel Heart. Find them!"

Abruptly, the light being vanished, leaving behind an eerie silence. The warning alarm ceased its relentless wailing. Bastian, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and relief, stammered, "Is... is it gone?"

Jackson, his face drained of color, acknowledged the overwhelming power that the unknown entity possessed. Alistair, his voice laced with concern, interjected, "Boss, about what it said..."

Jackson, his mind racing to comprehend the situation, interrupted sharply. "Let me think... my mind is in disarray."

After a few moments of contemplation, Jackson made a decisive declaration. "We will heed its commands. I refuse to be consumed by eternal fire. Bastian, what do you know about D666?"

Bastian, his voice still trembling, replied with a mix of fear and desperation, "D666 is a highly unique DNA combination. It traces back to an incident in Serbia..."

Alistair, his memory triggered, interjected with a sense of realization. "Ah, yes! Six years ago, our team stumbled upon a cave in Serbia. Ancient drawings indicated the existence of angelic creatures. We sealed the cave and destroyed the nearby village to suppress the information."

Bastian confirmed Alistair's recollection, his voice tinged with guilt. "Yes, during that time, we managed to obtain samples from the site. We derived a series of DNA sequences believed to be linked to those angelic beings. It is known as the D666 series."

Alistair, his voice filled with curiosity and concern, questioned the feasibility of finding an individual with such a unique DNA series. "So, now we must find someone with this D666 series? Is that even possible?"

Jackson, his resolve hardened by the magnitude of the situation, dismissed any further objections. "No more complaints. This is our top priority now. We must search for any leads related to this Angel Heart."
