[This world contains 9 Fragments scattered across the globe through centuries]

[Perhaps my appearance as the greatest fragment must have offset the trigger]

[No maybe the previous Fragment of truth, his death might have been the cause]

[The cause for the beginning of the dreadful scenarios]

[How many years is left for the arrival of him to this world?]

It was winter and children were helping out with storing the rations for the mid season.

Aren look there is a man standing in the cold with a jacket on.

"Forget it just go to bed you don't want to alert the Nanny at this time do you?"

Hmm, oh he looked back at me.

"He can't see you Jin"

He is calling me, I think he wants some food.

"Do as you wish now let me sleep"

Jin gathered a box filled with apples and sneaked out into the backyard.

Through the backyard Jin arrived at the back gate and opened it while no one was looking.

The Man stood there motionless with his black coat on.

He stood there silently as the cold breeze spread through the Pine trees across him.

His face was not visible.

It felt like a black aura was spreading across the environment due to his presence.

But for a young child who is so innocent, little could he know good from bad.

Here take this apple.

Jin said as he handed over an apple from the box.

"Thank you young man"

What is Envy?

...

[I knew it he really was one of the 9 fragments of this generation]

[The fragment of emotion]

The man's expression darkened

"Envy?"

Yes It is written on top of your head.

"On top of my head?"

Yes it is showing in curvy letters what is it?

"Hahaha what a funny child, it is the fear of losing someone you love"

Do you Love someone?

"Yes"

I do too but they don't love me back.

"Ah who is she?"

She is a year older than me and she always rejects me.

"I know of a way to make her like you so so much"

Really?

"Yes, All you have to do is bring 4 friends with you and play a game"

Game? What kind of game?

"Hide and seek!"

***

"Has anyone seen Jin and the other 3 kids?

Jin Ae searched the entire hallway before making her way towards Aren.

What happened Nanny?

"Have you seen Jin around he must have said something to you before leaving right?"

He said to read a note and come find him I haven't looked into it yet.

"Where is the note?"

Here, Aren handed over the suspicious note to nanny.

"Aren did Jin write this?"

{We are playing hide and seek a friend of mine showed me a really cool place come find me if you can}

No it's not his handwriting I am sure of it he doesn't know how to write.

"So this friend of his must have written it"

(Aren!)

{A voice was heard}

{Aren heard this voice as her usual black eyes turned blue}

(Your friends are in danger)

What?!

[How could I forget this. So it did activate now, the fragment of truth that I passed onto Aren]

Aren looked outside as the blizzard intensified and the cold breeze seeped through the closed windows.

The nanny was really scared and anxious as she held the piece of paper tightly and could do nothing except feel remorse. Maybe, she knew what was happening due to the recent kidnapping events that were occurring in the country.

{Here me out, child}

A voice spoke to Aren in her mind.

{He is in danger}

{Hear my words, for I shall lead you to the truth}

The greatest fragment looked at the event that was unravelling in front of him.

He observed from afar and started wondering who this existence was that was whispering into Aren's ears.

{Aren, you are the only one who can save him now}

{The humans, are inefficient for you have my presence by your side}

The greatest fragment stared in silence as he analyzed the anomaly.

The world contained 9 fragments and the world was witnessing the birth of the current generation's Fragment of-

[So, It's the fragment of truth, huh]

The sentinel being spoke as he rolled the fallen chess pieces around.

[ To think it would manifest such an anomaly, maybe was it wrong of me to have passed the Fragment from Natsuki over to his daughter?]

The greatest fragment revised his master plan as he felt a strange anxious feeling as the events occurring were slipping out of his hands.

{Aren, look around we need to gather some stuff up to save that dear friend of yours}

Aren was confused as she didn't understand the situation that was unfolding in front of her.

She was a small child who knew nothing about the world let alone the fragments that govern the way of the universe.

The nanny looked back at Aren who became stationary and ignored her while leaving the hall to take care of the major issues first.

    Wait for me! Aren pulled the young boy which led to him tripping and falling on top of her. He stared at her almost unaffected by her stunning looks. He got up and brushed his coat off as he held his arm out for her to get up. "We are gonna get late to school so try not to hold me back", he said as he turned around on his way to school. Aren stared at him blankly as she followed him. "We are here" Is this Gangbuk high?, Aren inquired. "Yes" She stared at the school with characteristic brick red and white pattern.

    Sept 22 2002 Three years prior to Zene Lach's death. Glurg* "Mr. Natsuki Mikoyama" A white haired man with a scar on his chin said, as he had a sinister grin on his face. The lights were flickering and the room was poorly lit. "W-Who are you?" The man named Natsuki Mikoyama inquired as he vomited blood from his mouth. Two men stared at Natsuki Mikoyama while the grunts surveyed the basement. Zene Lach stared at the scene clueless. It was as if he woke up in a different body and this scene appeared before his eyes. "Zene!", The white haired man yelled as he glared at the clueless comrade of his not hearing his commands. Zene Lach looked back at him and then reached out to a nearby suitcase to take out a drug sample so that he could inject it into Natsuki Mikoyama. Screeech* "You have arrived fragment of darkness" A woman approached the two men torturing Natsuki. The white haired man exclaimed as he removed the bloodied gloves from torturing Natsuki Mikoyama.

"Ah, No I had to go through some orientation classes yesterday" "Here", Zene Lach placed the form on the table Yi So Yeon was sitting on. "Also get out of your seat", Zene said as he sat on her seat making Aren stand up from her seat. "Tell me which one you don't like, I will not tick the one you point out", Zene added. "Got it?", Zene asked as he looked at Aren with his dead eyes. "Gotcha" Zene kept on ticking all the main sports that most of the boys liked to play. "This one", Aren pointed out. Zene looked at Aren's face and replied, "Use that look of yours for a good use at least" "The acting and singing activities are having a shortage of people." Zene said as he ticked them. "Then why bother asking", Aren grumbled. "You will like it" "How do you know?", Aren inquired. "I simply know just by looking at someone". "Ah, really?", Aren said sarcastically. "Come with m

Why did she always go after my life if I put even a single scratch on this planet?] The celestial entity looked over the mortal realm as if he was reading a novel and genuinely hated the characters being so off when he met them in real life.

"Those memories of yours, all of them were a lie" "A fabricated story" Zene fell on the cold snow, his body started trembling while he couldn't reason with the storm of emotions that ran inside of him. He cuddled himself while tears ran down from his eyes. Zene felt like a failure, he lost the one thing that reminded him that he was not just a weapon but once may have been a human as well. {Zene it is better to die as a human than as a weapon, don't you think} Natsuki's words did no better, his mind was not reasoning. {Zene, wh

    Huff Puff Agent opened his eyes only for him to look at a surreal landscape. Volcanoes erupted from the ground, craters that spanned kilometers wide. Oceans that soared hundred feet high and the world that we once knew was in a state of apocalypse. Creatures that defied science, the world turned closer to fantasy than reality. His skin started sweating while the heat suffocated him. He looked around to find a giant monster stand in front of him, a being with one eye, it's span crossing hundred meters wide and standing as tall as an empire state building. He looked at the monster as it now faced him. With a single breath of that monster his body dissipated to thin dust. Huff Puff Agent woke up as he layed on the snow. He looked around as his hazy vision turned clear. There he was Vladamir Trotsky standing in front of him while Lisa herself was knocked unconscious. Agent layed on the ground with no strength left in his body to get up. "What was that thing tha

Zene stopped and dropped the heavy bag on the ground. "Take it, We need to move quickly before the sun sets", Zene stated while he looked at the peak that was hundreds of meters ahead of them.

The place was drak with no lighting on the inside, there he was the man in question groaning at the flash of bright light onto his sunken eyes. "Dimitri Popov, I have some questions for you", Zene stated with a smile on his face. Screech* Zene closed the metal door and placed a lamp for lighting the room. "Never saw a guard like you, must be a new one", Dimitri murmured. "It wouldn't be a stretch if I told you that I came all this way for you", Zene replied.

    "What do you mean by that?", Aren inquired while she sat on the table. Sigh* "I will not answer any questions related to you, do you understand that?", Trotsky grumbled. "When you told my father to find his path, his purpose did you mean something?" "Your father, he wished to find the reason behind his existence and that's when he came up with an idea" "Natsuki!

"Now that we have finished our last project, I think I want to move on to the next phase of my life" "Where are you headed to, Natsuki?", Trotsky inquired. "I have decided to go on a journey around the world to find my purpose" "You want us to come along?", Mokshith inquired. "He meant to go alone on this journey, Mokshith", Trotsky replied. "Ah, that sucks" "We have finished all the projects that we dreamed of building, didn't we?", Natsuki stated. "..

    "You should get some sleep, Mokshith", Trotsky suggested while he wiped his face dry. "I can stay up a bit longer", he replied while looking at the ward inside which natsuki was bedridden. "I hope he wakes up soon", Mokshith stated. "He will anytime now", Trotsky murmured quietly. Huff Puff Natsuki woke up from that everlasting nightmare only for him to look at the attire of his inside the hospital.

    Glug Glug A young child was caged within a glass container, the boy couldn't open his eyes nor could he move his body. Zene gasped as he woke up from the same nightmare. "So you finally woke up, huh", Lisa stared at Zene who was gasping to get some fresh air. "What time is it?", Zene groaned. "It's 11 am and Agent drove us near to the prison while you slept all night", Lisa replied. "Where is he?", Zene inquired. "He should come back any moment now" "Guys get out of the car", Agent pulled out a suitcase that cared their essentials. "Where are you going?", Zene asked.

    As soon as we arrived at the church we saw a couple kissing each other. And that's when I first saw Natsuki cry. "That's Clara", he murmured. "Who, I can't see any girl nearby", Mokshith squinted for better view. "Is she the one that kissed that guy" "Yeah", Natsuki looked gloomy while tears trickled down from his eyes. "I did everything I could man" Natsuki glared at the couple unaware of his presence. "And some random guy comes in and takes her away with little to no effort" His veins popped as he glared at them with his teeth gritting against one another. "It's unfair" "Natsuki, Listen man you need to chill out", Mokshith tried to calm him down. Natsuki went through hell day after day and not once did his fragment respond. But today, his fragment took over him. [Fragment of Origin] His body was covered in weird tattoo marks with flesh burning from within him.

    "How will I produce such energy, Vladamir?", Natsuki asked out of confusion. "So, first up we have to start things back from square one" "You need to remove all the knowledge that you had behind, do you understand?", Trotsky added. "Yeah explain it to us", Mokshith replied. "So, do you know what fragments both of you possess, gentlemen?" "I possess the fragment of light, am I correct?", Mokshith replied. "That is correct" "And you Natsuki" "Me?" "I don't think I ever felt this thing that you call fragments" Sigh* "That's really weird, all of your kind should be able to sense it, do you feel anything weird inside your body?" Natsuki paused momentarily as he tried to sense something within him. His concentration was all diverted towards his torso in an attempt to sense this feeling or presence of the fragments. As he explored through the darkness, Natsuki witnessed two flame orbs revolving around one another. "Do you see it, Natsuki?" "I can see flames and that's about i
