During the first war between the Devils and the Gods, the world trembled and portals were cracked, allowing so many beings of different types to escape and occupy the human planet called Earth. Even magic and superpowers were leaked into the human world, allowing humans to possess powers they never dreamed of having.But even at that, the world suffered greatly from the impact of the war, losing lives and homes and so many other things.During this war, the God of war decided to put an end to the suffering of all living beings and as such, she sacrificed her life. After she died, the Supreme Lord of all the devils disappeared with no trace.After the war, Earth was no longer the same.The appearance of magic and superpowers, monsters, magic beasts, and many different beings like vampires, demons, and so on, turned Earth into a fantasy world.The world came together and decided to give Earth another name. 'Eera'Humans began to co-exist with the new beings, not because they wanted but

*8 years later*Today is a sunny day and the weather seemed friendly. The town looked even livelier than before with many people on the street. Shops were open and many things were being traded."Miss, a gold coin is all I have. Please, can you reduce the price of these clothes?" A young girl with red hair and blue eyes asked a shop owner.The shop owner stared at this girl in disbelief. "You want me to reduce the price again? Little girl, aren't you been selfish?" She asked her."Miss, I'm not. Remember I told you that my parents died when I was very young leaving me to take care of my little brother and myself? The only job that keeps me going is the blacksmithing work I learned from my father, I am yet to be perfect in it and because of that, I don't earn much from it. The little I earn isn't enough to take care of us," the girl explained. As she spoke, tears began to gather in her eyes which the shop owner didn't fail to notice.She gazed at the girl for quite some time and afterwa

"Hey, how about you move into my dorm? I'm sure you don't like staying at home," Taylor suddenly said to Ryan.As if he didn't hear what the boy said, Ryan turned around and gave him a 'what did you just say' look.Taylor understood the meaning behind those eyes and so he chuckled before replying. "Well, I'm certain that you aren't living fine wherever you are. Instead of having to wake up to meet the same ugly faces every moment, how about you pack your stuff and come live with me in the dorm? It's better than staying in a cold house, am I not right?"Yes, he was right but how is he so much aware of the situation in his home? This question was something that troubled Ryan."How are you certain that I'm not living happily at home?" He asked with brows knitted in inquisitiveness."Do you suspect me or something?" Taylor asked back with a sly smile. "Of course, you are now on the top news in the whole school. Who doesn't know about your ordeals with your step-family, huh? It's everywhere

As if I didn't hear what the pale-looking boy said, I turned around and gave him a 'what did you just say' look.Taylor understood the meaning behind those eyes and so he chuckled before replying. "Well, I'm certain that you aren't living well wherever you are. Instead of having to wake up to meet the same ugly faces every moment, how about you pack your stuff and come live with me in the dorm? It's better than staying in a cold house, am I not right?"Yes, he was right but how is he so much aware of the situation in his home? This question was something that troubled me."How are you certain that I'm not living happily at home?" I asked with brows knitted in inquisitiveness."Do you suspect me or something?" Taylor asked back with a sly smile. "Of course, you are now a little star in the whole school. Who doesn't know about your ordeals with your step-family, huh? It's everywhere and I happen to hear them the moment I came to this school.""Hmm..." I sighed quietly. I was still not

After the surprise test, the school closed for the day.Heaven knew how exhausted I was by that time, the test was something I did not expect to be brain-cracking. I had written what I think is right and now, I'm relying on my luck to pass it.I met up with Taylor and we briefly talked about the moving-in of a thing. Tomorrow is going to be a weekend and so I'll have to move in tomorrow. After talking with him, I left him and headed home.Upon arrival, I saw the mother and son duo waiting for me in the sitting room. The moment the lady saw me, she stood up and blocked my way."What are you still doing here? I thought Alex told you to leave this house for good?" She asked while eyeing me like I was some pest... Or maybe I am actually."He did, but am I supposed to leave empty-handed?" I asked her and rolled my eyes at her.Just as I expected, she got more infuriated, "You son of a bitch!" She yelled and rushed to slap me.Calling Ryan's mother a bitch was like calling mine a bitch. How
