Ville Forest

Earth is a very comfortable place for living things to live. But did you know that there are other planets that can be inhabited by humans?

Fotia, a planet far away. A planet with various kinds of creatures inhabiting it just like our beloved earth. Demons, wizards, satans can live on Planet Fotia.

 A man of seventeen, running through the Ville Forest. His blonde hair was no longer brightly colored because it was mixed with blood from the wounds on her crown. His breath catches. Blood was seeping from his right abdomen due to the stab wound. His back was full of cuts.

 Normally, as a descendant of the demon race, Zarius has the ability to heal himself. But, due to a punishment, Zarius doesn't have any power at the moment. Zarius is worse than a low level demon.

 Zarius was still running for cover in the Ville Forest, where he had spent his last ten years training to increase his strength. He still felt hundreds of demons still following him. The demons who previously bowed under Zarius' feet, now attack Zarius in groups.

 All of this was due to the conspiracy of Felius, his eldest brother. Zarius would not forgive his eldest brother. Even though they were blood relatives, there was no intimacy between the two of them. The strong are the powerful. All the princes brought down their own brothers to become the Crown Prince.

 Zarius is still running from the demon army at this point.

 Normally, Zarius would still be able to finish off dozens of demons even if he didn't use his spiritual power. But, it's hundreds. Zarius felt unable to fight the demon army sent by Felius, his eldest brother.

 Maybe even a pro demon hunter wouldn't necessarily be able to deal with this, let alone that blonde haired man named Zarius Vasilias. The prince who was dishonorably expelled from his own palace.

 Zarius hated his brother so much. He vowed to take revenge for this insult.

 The bluish light that radiates from Desdemona (the Fotia satellite) enters the forest through the gaps in the leaves.

 Zarius looked up. In fact, his vision was now starting to blur.

 The wind howled. At the same time, hundreds of devils are surrounding Zarius who is starting to fall.

 Zarius was fooled. This was not the Ville Forest where his master who taught him spiritual power lived. This is an illusory forest created by black magicians. This is a trap.

 The demon army along with the black magicians conspired to kill Zarius. Whereas, previously Zarius was only sentenced to stay in the Human World. However, Zarius did not expect to be the target of the demon army and the black magicians.

 Zarius the Demon Prince was indeed a hunter of the enemy territory's demon army and black magician. Zarius had eliminated them a lot even though he was still an amateur. Now, they are seeking revenge for the life taken by Zarius' hands.

 Zarius feels cornered. He didn't know what to do. The Demons began to surround Zarius. They don't seem to think of Zarius as their prince anymore.

 The demon army's black wings flapped. Their eyes were sharp, piercing straight at Zarius who was still petrified.

 A sudden gust of wind blew. Dry leaves fly. Dust floated in the air, distracting the demons' vision a little. Golden yellow smoke suddenly enveloped Zarius' body.

 As soon as the wind dissipated, the visions of the demons and black magicians were clear. They didn't see Zarius anywhere at the moment.

 Behind a large tree far away, the figure of a jet-black haired man was grinning.

 "I hope you will serve your sentence well, My Prince," murmured the figure. After that, he flapped his pair of black wings and flew into the night sky.

 ***

Eric Yudhistira was brought out by Aunt Tumini from the room. They can still clearly hear the commotion from inside the room. The sound of falling objects and the sound of glass breaking.

 Eric's eyes filled with tears as he was right in front of his father's bedroom door. He slowly touched the door. Tears welled up when he heard the words spoken by his father.

 "YOU FUCKERS! WHY YOU PRISON ME LIKE THIS, HAH? I'M NOT CRAZY! GIVE MY DRINK NOW!"

 It was suffocating, hearing those words spoken from the only place he depended on. Eric realized this was all his fault. If only he was an adult. If only all this time, Eric had not been a burden to his father. If only his father didn't have an unreliable son like him.

 "Eric, are you all right? You can go to school now. Let your father calm down first!" said Aunt Tumini softly. She was stroking the black mane of the teenager in front of him.

 Eric nodded. He could not ignore his obligation to seek knowledge.

 "Take care of my father, Auntie! I'll be going straight home this afternoon after finishing my part-time job."

 Eric bowed before he walked out of the house.

 Aunt Tumini saw Eric's back which was getting further away.

 "You shouldn't have gone through all this, Son!"

Aunt Tumini sympathizes with the tragic fate of the handsome teenager. His older brother Eric died a few months ago. During this time Eric only lived with his father and brother, and in recent months his father's attitude had changed. Not to mention his father is still in depression because of the death of his brother Eric.

 It all started with the dismissal of Mr. Reno Yudhistira from his job. Mr. Reno had an accident at work, so his leg is now limping.

 No one wants to hire Mr. Reno because of his limitations. Mr. Reno often gets drunk and often takes all his anger out on his son, Eric Yudhistira.

 "I'm trapped in your eyes. Every time I look into your eyes, there is only my image. Can I wish if you were born for me?"

 Silence for a moment.

 The young girl's words did not get any response from her interlocutor.

 "I will always be by your side. I hope you only see me. Can you do that, My Eric?" the young girl continued.

 "Heh?? If I keep seeing Alice while she's walking, could I hit her?" Eric replied, so innocently.

 "Gosh! It's not like that. 'Looking at me' means I want you to only see me as the only girl for you, Eric. Do you understand?"

 The teenage girl who was called 'Alice' let out a rough breath. Alice must be extra patient with his friend who is too innocent and very insensitive.

 The young man in front of her only nodded once. Eric's bestfriend, Alice, didn't usually talk that warmly. Usually Alice always raves about how handsome the artists from other countries are.

 However, even so, Eric was happy to have such a close friend like Alice.

 "Alice?"

 "Hmm?"
