The Awakened Arcane Legacy

Restoration From Heaven

High above the clouds, beyond the expanse of the sun and galaxy, amidst an endless void, a being sat upon a golden throne. The radiance emanating from its face made it nearly impossible for anyone to catch a glimpse.

“I can see her faith in me. And for that, I shall save her child’s life,” declared the godlike being, its voice echoing through the golden surroundings.

“Talon come forth! I want you to take the body of the lowborn. You will loose all your memories too.”

Talon, who was once a human, ascended to Godhood, becoming a demigod. He had faithfully served God and witnessed the annihilation of mankind. Due to his unwavering faith, he was granted the opportunity to ascend to Godhood and enter heaven.

“His mother was faithful to me. I will grant her son the chance to ascend to Godhood someday,” declared the heavenly being.

“You will inhabit the body of this child, and all your memories will be erased. You will have no recollection of your time here in heaven. Your mission will be to assist humans in averting the apocalypse, as the countdown is imminent,” the being explained.

“Yes, my Lord,” Talon bowed respectfully, acknowledging the being’s instructions.

“In addition, you will be stripped of all the blessings of your Godhood. However, these blessings will gradually be bestowed upon you as you come of age. Go!” The voice of the being resonated throughout the heavens..

The reason for God’s decision to strip Talon of his ranking is to prevent any disastrous consequences on Earth, as has happened before. If Talon were to unleash his full strength, Earth would be unable to contain him, let alone a mere one-day-old baby.

“Yes, Lord! I will be your faithful servant on Earth,” Talon said, bowing down.

Talon accepted his mission, and was transformed into a beam of azure light. Shooting through the cosmos it sped, passing sun and planet till it entered the mortal realm. There, it entered the lifeless child

Finally, baby Talon jerked back to life, crying out, “Eya!!!... Eya!!!” His lifeless body that was pale returned back to his original color. God had truly answered his mother’s prayer.

It was a bright afternoon a jet-like object resembling an alien ship hovered in the air. It was a life expectancy finder, used by the alliance to scan for survivors in war. Ironically, the alliance knew that demons were attacking this region, but they didn’t care because they considered the town dwellers as useless F-Class Rankers. They believed these low-ranking individuals wouldn’t be of much help in battle, so why sacrifice high-level officials for F-Rankers?

The craft brought out a blue like light that scanned the entire town for any survivors. If they were survivals they would take them to the Safe camp. The camp was filled with various people displaced from around the world.

Inside the craft, a woman and a man could be seen typing on a holographic keyboard.

“Is it possible that any life remains after this massive destruction?” asked the pilot, Denim. As they looked at the burning houses and debris everywhere, there were even corpses with only their skeletons remaining. Doing this job wasn’t something Denim had wanted; he had only taken it because the pay was high.

“Every day, it seems like the demons are targeting humans more… I just wish these demons could be wiped out from the Earth’s surface,” the assistant pilot, Phoebe, said as she tapped her tablet, which she held in her hands.

[Scanning… 1%... 2%... 40%... 60%... 100%...]

[Scanning Complete!]

[Out of 2,000 residents, only 1 survivor remains.]”

“Seriously! There is really a survivor here?” Denim was surprised.

“Show the location of the survivor,” Denim spoke in a calm tone as he looked at a very large screen that could cover an entire wall of a living room. Suddenly, a blue dot on the screen began to zoom and expand until it pinpointed the location of Talon, who was crying beside the lifeless body of his mother.

Denim and Phoebe stared at the large screen to get a glimpse of the survivor. To their surprise, it was a baby. They had never expected a baby to be the survivor.

“What is a baby doing in such a dense forest? Isn’t that his mother? She looks to be dead. I think the demons killed her, but left the baby. I wonder what kind of ordeal that baby must have gone through. His mother was killed right in front of him. Those despicable demons!” Phoebe and Denim were equally surprised and furious.

It was still a miracle how baby Talon managed to survive the entire night all by himself. You could imagine the cold, a normal day old baby can’t survive it. But due to the fact that Talon was reincarnated made it easy for him.

“I think instead of just talking, we should retrieve the baby. He’s so cute…” Phoebe smiled as she looked at the image of the baby on the screen.

“Hey! We’re on a job right now, and I don’t want you even considering adopting that baby. It’s against the laws to take in a refugee and adopt them,” Denim said, understanding what Phoebe was thinking. The laws of the alliance were strict. Children taken in from wars were not allowed to be adopted. The alliance segregated refugees, placing them in a separate place. The system was governed by a hierarchy, with those who lost their homes at the bottom.

“You don’t have to remind me of the rules. I know what the rules state. Can’t we just save the child before something terrible happens to him?” Phoebe turned her face away from Denim, arms folded and a frown on her face.

Denim quickly typed some codes on the holographic screen, and a blue light scanned baby Talon. He was immediately teleported the almost 30 feet distance by the blue light and appeared in their craft.

Phoebe rushed to where baby Talon was who was wrapped in a white blanket, which was soaked in blood.
