The Story of [Alice - Queen of Apocalypse]
At the beginning of the Era of Strife, human beings were just a new and weak race on the Land of Dawn. They are both good and evil; they can sacrifice their lives for justice, but also betray their compatriots for their own selfish desires; they themselves are a combination of light and darkness.
The huge potential contained in human beings was discovered by the light and dark factions.
After more than a century of development, while Brun was serving as the patriarch of the Antalus family, they became one of the most powerful and prosperous families in all mankind.
Alice is Brun's youngest daughter, but compared with her two distinguished elder brothers, little Alice appears insignificant.
Her identity as an illegitimate daughter blindfolded her and she was never valued by the family. She hated everyone around her, hated this unfair destiny, hated the ‘‘hypocritical gods‘‘ the family believed in, and the darkness continued to spread in her heart.
One day, soldiers returning from the battlefield vied for spoils and divided them as usual. Alice stood in a corner not far away, staring at them coldly.

Alice looked toward the bead, but unexpectedly, this bead, which seemed to be dim and dull to the others, burst into a breathtaking rose-colored light in Alice`s eyes.
It rolled slowly to Alice's feet, and the moment she touched it with her hand, a demon's voice flooded her mind.
"Offer your soul, my dear Alice. Accept our power and you will get everything you want."
"If I get what I want, what do you want from me?"
"It's very simple. All I need is the faith of your family. Abandon the King of Light and plunge into the embrace of the Abyss."
Faith was not a big issue for Alice, but she remembered the vow that she would utter every time she offered a sacrifice: the never-extinguishing holy light will punish all betrayers.
Just as Alice was hesitating, Alice's brother Simon found her in the corner.
He came to Alice and pushed her down fiercely, saying: ‘‘It`s you, you superfluous person… What are you doing here?‘‘ Seeing that Alice was not going to answer, he snatched the bead she was holding tightly in her hand.
Alice tried to snatch it back, but he kicked her into the air, ‘‘A bastard is just a bastard, but a broken bead can be regarded as a treasure. "
He glanced back at Alice, who had fallen to the ground and was not getting up, he snorted coldly, and continued, ‘‘You're just like this bead – superfluous junk. "
He flung the bead forcefully at Alice's lower abdomen.
Laughter filled the room for a while, and Alice felt out of breath.
Alice clutched her stomach and stood up with difficulty.
She said to the demon: ‘‘If I succeed, will you give me enough power to take all lives?‘‘
‘‘Of course, my dear Alice.‘‘
"Okay, then I promise you."
‘‘That's more like it, hahahaha.
A scorching energy burned a black mark on the back of Alice's hand, and then disappeared. She put away the bead and left quietly.

Brun was old, but the heir of the Antalus family was not yet elected. Of his two sons, the younger Simon was the one he favored, much to the chagrin of his eldest son Colin.
Alice knew that this was her best way in.
During this time, Alice always stayed by Brun's side, playing the role of a good daughter while at the same time hinting to Brun in a roundabout way that his two sons wanted to kill him and take his place as tribal patriarch.
Without too much effort from Alice, the ridiculous family bond between a father and his two sons was torn to pieces in a power struggle.
As the gap between them deepened, a tragedy finally befell them: Colin hatched a plot that killed Simon, and Brun executed Colin under the bewitching influence of Alice.
After Colin's death, Brun fell ill, and Alice assumed the responsibility of the patriarch.
At this time, the family was ruined, and all the allies who had been following them betrayed them one by one.
On the one hand, Alice took care of Brun, and on the other hand, she used a strong hand to cheer up the family and gained the support and trust of the tribe.
Seeing the time was right, she quietly killed Brun by poisoning him.
At the funeral, those of the Antalus family realized that the family had fought for the light for generations, but the light had never blessed them.
Nowadays, allies left one after the other, not caring one bit for the friendships of the past.
Incited by Alice, the tribesmen came to the altar, threw the holy objects to the ground in a rage, and gave feedback to the King of Light using their own actions.
At the moment when the sacred object was destroyed, a dazzling light fell from the sky above the altar, piercing into the bodies of all the tribespeople including Alice.
As they wailed, pitch black wings mixed with blood broke out of their bodies, and sharp fangs grew out of their mouths.
This was the punishment mentioned in the oath, the curse that will never be eliminated. From then on, they became monsters who would never see the sun again.
They could only survive relying on the blood of other races.
After the light faded, countless blood-stained demonic hands stretched out from the ground.
By touching them, the Antalus family members were given the reward called ‘‘Eternal Life‘‘ by the Abyss.
When everything faded, they realized they had fallen into the gap between light and darkness and would no longer be accepted by the world.
Under the guidance of the demon, Alice led her tribe to profess their faith in the Lord of the Abyss.
In the faction of the demons, there was an additional race called the Blood Demons.
Under the leadership of Queen Alice, they wandered in the darkness and became the most loyal servants of the Abyss.

The Story of [Thamuz – Lord Lava]
Since the beginning of the abyss`s reign on the mainland, countless demons became loyal followers of the Abyss.
Fervent in their beliefs, the demon [chants] the will of the Abyss in these deep caverns—Only the strong deserve to rule!
Guarding the Abyss for millenniums, a tribe of fire demons nearly became the rulers of the Abyss.
Thamuz, the king of the fire demons, and his people made the Abyss into a formidable power.
Possessing ungodly natural strength, Thamuz was appointed chief of the Abyss, who led the Abyss to conquer all of the underworld.
Thamuz could not accept the Blood Demon, Alice, as her bloodline was not pure — Thus, unworthy to command and enter war.
With the gates to the Abyss about to open, legions of demons eagerly await Thamuz's return.
However, once the King of Fire Demons returns, he will burn away all the weak demons — Only the strong deserve to be a part of the Abyssal Army.
Thamuz has been waiting for the day he leads the Abyssal Army across the Land of Dawn to let it be [known]—Only the strong shall reign!

The Story of [Argus – Dark Angel]
Argus and his sister, Rafaela, were raised by their mother. Both were blessed with flawless looks and a promising bloodline; yet in these lands, he as treated very differently to his sister.
Exaltation, flowers, glory and respect…
Argus was never accepted, instead rejected from the day of his birth.
This was all down to the age-old legend that pervaded the Land of Dawn, dictating that all angels were female–moreover, that those chosen by the Lord of Light to birth angels could only give birth to baby girls.
Argus` identity and origins were matters buried secret by the Monastery of Light, kept even from Argus himself.
To upload its orthodoxy, the Sacrists tasked with maintaining the Monastery of Light`s legitimacy acted with incredible unity: taking Rafaela as a representative who would face the masses, while Argus was kept hidden in the shadows, never to be a representative of the Light, barred from the glory so rightfully his.
All those who strove to maintain this twisted orthodoxy were split between a fear that Argus would grow to become an outcast, and yearning for the power he held.
Without exception, every single one longed that this young man with the Lord of Light`s bloodline flowing in his veins could be at one with his sister, to resist the power of the Abyss.
In fact, Argus` faith in the Light held strong for many years, just as resilient as that old his sister Rafaela. He cherished her, and cared little as to who of them bathed in more glory: for Argus, its significance would always pale in comparison to the importance of defending what’s right. Nonetheless, there always a matter of contention between the sibling: their attitudes toward humanity.
It was the general belief that the abyssal demons were behind it all, a notion shared by Rafaela, and she blamed all demonkind and the Abyss for woes of the world.
But In Argus eyes, it was humankind who were to blame for the Endless War`s resurgence, for their chaos and malice presented the demons with an opportunity they then exploited.
Argus sneered at the thought of associating with humankind, forever holding them in bitter contempt.
Rafaela was always prone to forgive those humans who strayed from the path of righteousness, as she believed they could change and be bathed in the Light once more.
In stark contrast, Argus considered such people as naught but lost causes, dead leaves on the tree of mortality to be pruned before they tainted the trunk.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
One day upon the battlefield, Argus set after a horde of demons that fled his pursuit.
It was then that he was snared in the abyssal demons` trap, and they set upon him in an ambush, but he felt no fear at all.
On the contrary, he exploited this ambush to his advantage.
He wiped out a huge chunk of their number, both demons and the humans that sided with them.
Before setting off once more he decided to steal away the legendary demonic sword that was kept in the area, but as he grasped its hilt a barrage of strange memories surged into his mind–
Soft rays of moonlight and the aroma of flowers caress a man and a woman as they exchange vows.
But a second later, she`s swept away by a number of Sacrists who hold her down, forcing her to imbibe holy water.
From that day forth she becomes pregnant, her belly swelling by the day. As she grows in size, her face grows ever more haggard.
She longs for her lovers, yearns for innocent times past.
Two years into the three years of pregnancy one must pass through to bear the Lord of Light`s child, she can finally take it no more; she flees from the Monastery of Light into the arms of her long-lost lover, and they live happily together.
For a time.
The Sacrists track the couple down, and slay the man where he stands: for in the eyes of the orthodoxy, he has stained the sacred bloodline of the Lord of Light.
With this they take the woman back to the Monastery.
She is consumed by pure despair, wishing only to join her lover to death. However, each attempt to take her life is quickly shut down.
A year later she dies from the exertion of child birth, but leaves behind twins–a boy and a girl.
The newborn girl glows with a holy luminance from head to toe, yet the eyes of the boy bear a striking resemblance to his late mother`s lover.
The Sacrists prepare to end the boy`s life.
Yet just as they move to do so, he`s engulfed in a radiant glow that emanates from his sister, and they cannot leave a single scratch upon him.
It`s seen as a miracle by the Sacrists, a belief strengthened by the fact the infant boy holds a power just as strong as his sister`s.
It was then that the memories came to a sharp halt, and Argus came to.
He finally understood why the Monastery of Light had endeavored to cover up his true identity;
He finally realized why he was the only male angel.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
For he was no holy being, but instead, a member of those he detested the most: a son of man.
Furthermore, his fellow humans had known of this and hence slain his parents to exploit his power as their own.
Demonic sword in hand, he ignored the pleadings of his sister and left her behind.
Little did he know that the reason his blade possessed such a monumental power, the reason it imparted those lost memories to him, was because it was cursed by the God of Destruction: Cyd. His mind was tainted by this malevolent curse, awakening within him a cruel brutality. Argus was driven by his own rage.
Argus focused his seething fury upon all of mankind, and when Rafaela came for him once more several months later, she was faced with a fearful sight. His graceful wings in all their shimmering radiance were nowhere to be seen
Instead, there sprouted from his back a pair of dark wings that emanated forth a crashing aura of darkness and despair.
It seemed to her that Argus had, for reasons unknown, lost himself to the darkness, welcomed its embrace.
Countless humans had been slaughtered by his hand. He was still her flesh and blood, her brother: and she couldn’t bear to raise her sword against him.
Argus knew that having learned the truth of his past, there was no way he could ever go back.
He clenched his demonic blade tight, turning and leaving her behind.
Once, human blood had flown within him, and he was blessed by the Gods themselves, once, he had lived for naught but the Light, for peace.
From that day on, however, it was an endless curse that accompanied him instead, a fated curse bequeathed by the God of Destruction.
Now,
he`s Argus: the only Dark Angel in this world.
