•:Chapter 1:•

Hello, my name is Fynix.

I work at a convenience store and live in a small apartment complex, I'm usually laboring during dark hours, and I come across loads of customers, deranged, bizarre, goofy, even perverts spying on the women shopping. On some occasions, h@rny women come in and ask for the naughty.. although today was an abnormal day, as a toddler walked in.

"Hi mister!", said the toddler.

"wheres your parents?",

"she's sick!" Conversed the two.

"What's wrong with your mom?",

"she has some bad thing that costs a lot of money!" Said the toddler.

"where is she right now?",

"at home! :D",

"Why are you shopping at night? Is it for your mother?",

"yes!", Replied the toddler eagerly.

"Do you mind showing me what you're gonna buy?",

"meat circles and bread!",

"put it on the counter after you find them.", "okie mister!".

After the toddler finds what she needs, she departs from the store.

"What an odd toddler, she must be sad hiding behind a wide smile like that," Fynix says to himself in a low tone.

Oh right, I never clarified what this "planet" is, id say, it's an apocalypse with taxes and debt. But I said that 5 years ago before the "Monolith" arose before us and granted 5% of humankind special energy, known as "Skills" or "Divine Power", I was luckily awarded a skill, a skill that allows the user a large amount of mana, and immunity to flames, I can also influence, heat, and add strength to the flames. Of course, some didn't like this "Divine Power" and decided to try and take the monolith down, but this only made our life poorer. As the deities behind the tower's descent got infuriated, and conjured portals known as "Rifts", no, they aren't pleasant. They revive the beasts from other worlds and allow them to gush into ours, generating chaos and havoc all around us. There's too much to go around, let's just resume with the story at hand.
