" Why... Why are you doing this to me!? " With a loud voice and a tiresome body, rei shouted as she tried to breath.

( Were... were did i go wrong?... why is this happening?... all my life... all my life i've been doing nothing but followed their order... so why the hell do i have to suffer like this?! )

An enormous amount of hatred dwell upon Rei's body. all the negative emotion that were lock deep down from her heart were now overflowing from her facial expression. As the bloody moon light is shining majestically through the darkness of the silent night.

A few year's before this incident happened, Rei was well known to be the empress of death. 30 year's ago she was merely an orphan that was adopted by the family alvariz, she was raised and well educated by them, she got all the food's that she want's, all the beautiful dress that she want's and most of all... their unbreakable love for her.

The reason for their enormous amount of affection is because the couple Alvariz were not able to create a child. but this is not just the end of her story, at the age of 12 she was just exploring the house when she accidentally found a secrete hideout hidden behind a large photo frame of her family. having the devil tickle her head, she went inside without a single thought.

Exploring the place, she keep's walking down the stair's. heavy breeze were running all over rei's body as she keep's on walking. as soon as she reach the lowest ground, only a single fire fly awaits her, it keeps on flying all over, is as if its telling her to follow its light.

After following the fire fly for a minute or 10, she discover yet another door, the door is not lock and is very easy to open for a child like rei. the fire fly went inside of the room as rei opened the door and continued to follow it.

" Woah!... this place look so cool! " Being amazed by the sorrounding, Rei tried to touch everything on it. the room is filled with guns and knife, even some medieval period of torturing device.

All of them were so beautiful and sharp. but there is one thing that caught Rei's attention, something that is very different from the others, and that thing is none other than the night rose. a ring with a rose on its top, the rose is like a royal purple, it glows beautifully as Rei were being mesmerized by it.

" I... i want to touch it... i want to wear it " Being tempted by the ring, she tried to put it on into her finger.

The ring was big and has the size of an adult's finger at first, but after Rei wore it, it became small that Rei couldn't remove no matter what she do.

" Oh no!?... mother and father will be mad at me if they knew that i wear this ring!? " Afraid that her parents might get angry, she tried pulling it off desperately, she look's arround and saw a can of oil, she came closer to it and putted some oil on her finger, but no matter how hard she tried she still couldn't take out the ring on her finger. It's as if, it turns into a part of her skin.

" Huh?... ohh!?... Rei!.. how did you get here?! " A woman wearing a dark purple dress came out from the other door, she look's at her daughter who's struggling to take off the ring. noticing on what have happened, she finally understood the situation.

" Mo... mother?!... i- i am terribly sorry... i- " Rei tremble's in fear, her reaction is like a cat who's been drowned from a cold bowl of water. she looks adorable when scared. her mother came to her side and calmly patted her head.

" So now you know?... or is this the thing that you only know? " She ask with a calm voice while wiping the teary eye of her daughter.

She didn't wait for her daughter to respond when she begun to speak. Telling everything to her daughter.

" Rei... now that you were choosen by that ring, you must bare the responsibility of becoming an assassin like me and your father " With a serious look on her face, she told about the ring's origin.

I'll tell you a secret that only the men who's loyal to our boss knew about it. " With a wide smile that reach his ear, he enthusiastically said like crazy on how they murdered her parent's.

" You see, your parent's didn't actually died on the ship but rather... we killed them... ahaha "

" Wha-what? " With a little strength that she have, she asked in a complete shock.

" Ahahah!!.. I can't believe you still have the strength to ask... well, anyway. Your mother was quite beautiful and sexy even at the age of 30, so what do you think we did? "

" No... stop... please... don't "

" Yes that's right!... your mother received a rough gang **** from me and the other... she was quite strong and we couldn't fight back but after showing her your photo and threatened her that we will kill you, she beg and beg for mercy as she wish that she will offer herself just to keep you safe... ahahah!!.. man what a slut " The man still didn't end his story, meanwhile rei is starting to get more angry and mad as he keeps hearing the horrible story from the man infront of him.

" Shut up... shut up... shut up!?!? " Rei finally reach her limits, even after learning to control her emotion, she still failed to calm her self. with a terrible faith that comes to her mother, all the negative emotions was gathered and suck by her ring without her even noticing.

( If only I wasn't badly injured... I will ravagely cut this piece of shit into pieces!!! )

Her thoughts and will of revenge was so strong that it reach through the ring on her finger.

" Question: Do you desire power? "

( Yes!!.... If I can have power... i can avenge for my mother!? )

Due to her being corrupted by the negative emotions, she didn't think twice and just answered immediately. She didn't even notice that her ring was talking to her.

" Alert: The individual Rei E. Alvariz have succeeded to gathered 20,000 soul for nourishment.... all the negative emotions from the individual Rei E. Alvariz have been successfully collected. "

" Alert: The night rose will now undergoing evolution... successful... the night rose

have successfully evolved into Scientia. "

" Alert: All the virtue series have been successfully corrupted. "

The ring continued to speak as rei is slowly losing her strength, and was barely able to move her mouth to grasp some air.

" Yes that's right, she look awfully disgusting while being **** you know that... huh?... oii! " The man was still talking, he only notice the sudden change of the atmosphere when he saw that rei is no longer talking.

" Man, are you dead for sure?... Oh well, i think I've already talked enough... anyway i gotta go so goodbye and tell this to your mother in hell that... she's quiet delicious for an old woman~ ehehehe " the man disgustingly lick his lips as he throw a jar of a gasoline and a few bomb. He walk away and ride at his motor cycle, after reaching a few kilometres away from the forest, he click the switch for the bomb to explode.

*Boom!!*

As the gasoline alongside with the bomb exploded. The silent forest turned into a burning hell. without even looking back, the man finally left the scene. Leaving the body of rei to burnt and die as the fire continued to spread.

▪▪▪▪

( Dammit!!... I can't... move my body!!... it hurts.... it's painful!!... my skin is burning!? )

Rei shouted in her head as she was slowly being swallowed by the hellish fire. she struggled to crawl but her body is being burnt into crisp that she only have a few minutes to live.

" My whole life was a fucking lie!!... I trusted them all and this is how they returned the favor!?... screw you all!??... If I were to be given a chance to live... I will... i will... kill.... you... all.. " The fire have finally burned her whole body, as much as she struggled to live, the item on her ring finally decided to take an action on it's own.

Even thought that it has evolved only a few minutes ago, it still tried it's best to save it's creator.

" Alert: All the traumatizing memories will be temporarily blocked... successful. "

The entity said with her voice so blank. It's like she's trying to erased the very dangerous memories that would mentally brake her master.

" Alert: Soul Crest have been successfully obtained... preparing for reincarnation... successful. "

At the end of her word's, a bright glowing crystal ball suddenly appeared aboved the burnt body of rei, it glowed and glows brighter as it reach the sky, after a second of levitation, the crystal ball then begun to explode like fireworks exploding at the end of the year. making the people from bellow look up at the bright and beautiful blood moon.
