Prologue 1
In the darkness of night. A young man is walking alone on the street. That boy wore black shirt and Jeans. His black hair, white face, and slim body can easily make many women as well as girls heart-throbbing.
That boy's name is Red, 17 years old. He is walking toward his home. He was an orphan, and he lived in Governmental Orphanage. As he doesn't have an aptitude for Rankers so he was kicked out by the orphanage at the age of 15. Because they do not want to do freeloading.
'Fuck, That damn bastard. How dare he play with this young master?' Red cursed.
Today was the bad day for the Red as he has become jobless on this day. Because there is some Young Master who doesn't like his face.
So just think about how you feel when someone takes your job because you are very handsome?
Red did not think that the company would fire him without giving any credit. If he doesn't find out any job then there will come a day he will have to live on the street. He lives in the Outer region of the city.
This city name is Altaria and it levels 3 cities on the Silent Wonder Planet. The Outer region is for Lower-income people, and it has also low security. The central region is for Middle to High-class People.
Adventure Association, as well as other associations, is located in this region. The inner region is mostly Governmental issues.
After a few minutes, Red has reached his home and he is very tired and now he wants to sleep but suddenly, there is a female voice heard by him.
"Red you have not paid this month rent." He turned back then saw her.
A beautiful girl with a beautiful face wearing a blue frock Petite body with black hair.
She is Rina Alfred, 16-year-olds. This house belongs to his parents but 2 years ago their sudden disappearance made her disheartened. Afterward, she joined one of the topmost schools for Rankers in Silent Wonder. She will come to this house once in a while for the check.
"I will pay for it you don't have to worry about it," Red said to her as he used his card to open his door.
"Tsk, no fun," she slowly muttered.
"By the way, I am very tired, so I will take a nap," Red replied as he was tired.
Rina told Red about her last visit to him. "Today is my last day in Silent Wonder. I am going for Higher Study -"
"You are joining Zaar Planetary Alliance."
"YES, but how do you know." She nodded her head. Red did not answer that question as he can not say that he has seen her application form. He doesn't want to label as a Stalker.
"So I think you are still not given up about your parents. I warn you better not put your life in danger and good luck to you."Red told her and after opening his house and went for a nap.
Rina got stunned by hearing Red. She knows that he is worried about her but to show his concern in this manner.
"BASTARD, You will die virgin if you don't change your attitude. No girl will like to marry you. You better pay your rent this month. You bully" Rina started cursing Red.
Red is hearing her curse and he is checking his credit more than 1500 so he paid 1,000 credits for rent of this house. Now he has more than 500 credits that are his life-saving. It will become 0 after 30 days. In most of the city, the basic currency is a credit on a common level but a Ranker use monster crystal. A commoner with a family needs a minimum of 4000 credits.
Outside the house, Rina got the message that Red has paid his rent and she wishes she could choke him to death. Then she suddenly notices that all the people on road standing and watching him. Even though this area is in the Lower region but security is still tight. But as we go deep there is no security. There will be daily robbery, murder, etc.
She notices there are also many guards looking at her like an idiot and after one last time watching this house she went to the teleportation station there are 2 females waiting for him in the black suit after that they put their location to Alk Planet in Zaar Planetary Alliance. And then she vanishes with muttering something.
Red will not know that today is the day of Demon Summoning Ritual.
-------------------------
------------------------
In the basement of the Mayor's House of Altaria City, there is a group of six people in the black hood surrounding an Altar from one side.
If anyone with knowledge of the Demon will see here they will frighten as this Altar is of Demon Summoning. It simply means there will be a massive sacrifice.
In front of that Altar, there are two men bowing in front of the Altar one is Priest and another one is Mayor of Altaria and behind them, there are 4 people bowing down to the Altar.
Hooded Priest then sees the Towering Altar then turns back to give a speech
"Today is the day of Sacrifice to our God. Today is the day when God will descent. Today is the day that will never forget by us, believers. Today is the day when God will bless us. We shall celebrate and welcome our God."
Even though he knows that he is only going to summon a Mid-level Demon but to intensify the mood he bluffs. The priest is just Rank 4 how can he summon a God.
After giving his speech he faces Mayor " You have given a great sacrifice toward God. God will bless you."
Mayor replied with a very humble tone "This is for the future of my people. Even though this sacrifice is painful but I will do it."
Hearing Mayor Priest lip twitched and he thought. What sacrifice? The sacrifice of thousands of slum residents. You do not have any relationship with them. You are doing only for increasing your Rank. Fuck such a bastard.
The priest only nods his head toward him and then he asks "How is the condition of the city?"
"There is no problem but it seems many people have a figure out something is a miss even though they don't know about anything."
The priest could only frown and can not do anything to the Mayor for now, even though this will fail her plan if residents figure out about the sacrifice. So now he has to hastily complete this task. All preparation is done after summoning demon he will leave with his men.
If this task is failed then, Temple of Sins will end his life. Mayor asks her "I hope that my rank will increase to Rank 4." The priest frowns as he does not like the attitude of this Mayor. In the Temple of Sins, Rank 4 is just for the outer member.
The priest doesn't know why the Temple of Sins wants to perform the Demon Summoning Ritual in this place. He can not question their authority as he is just Rank 4.
When he has no use of him, he will torture and kill this bastard. The priest has already thought of him as a dead man.
After a few minutes, many dark-robed wearing people arrived.
Then the priest said, "The Time has arrived to prepare yourself to behold this moment.
We offer the offering to please you, Summon in the name of Superbia."
As he has to only summon mid-level demon he doesn't specify any name.
Then violet color light was shot from the Altar and spread throughout the city. Then a massive summoning circle appeared covering the whole city.
After seeing this all black-robe individuals take out a crystal and crush it. This crystal is the teleportation crystal that uses for teleportation. Even crushing this, they were not teleported. Then one of them in a slow voice said to the priest.
"Summoning is failed. We have to run from here. We don't know what creature will be summoned."
After hearing this priest frown and he thought. I have to run. If I am not wrong, this same situation occurs 10 years ago when someone tried to summon the Demon of Greed. This situation is dangerous.
"Follow me we will escape from the underground passage." The priest said to all of the black-robed individuals.
"What is happening here?" Mayor asked with a pale face. He is worried that they will betray him, and he will not have a chance to Rank up. He had already destroyed this city by summoning the Demon.
And his guess was marked on they will not live him alive.
Priest hurriedly started running and silently said kill him and capture his soul to the Black-robed individuals.
Mayor was petrified and then he heard the priest.
"Idiot, you were just a pawn to us. Greed had blinded you to believe us. Why do we help you."
Mayor just thought of the day when a man said to him they will help him Rank Up if he helps them in summoning Demons. As his life was at the end because of the injury he suffered so he cannot rank up. He is 160 years old. Rank 3 human has a lifespan of 150-200 years and Rank 4 human is 200-300 years.
So for his life, he sacrifices as commoners were dirt to him. He was born with a silver spoon. So he does not care about this city, and he agreed with that proposal. But now he regretted his decision.
There is saying Milk is already spilled regret will not help him. So he died with an unwillingness.
After saying this priest continued to run with black robe individuals but suddenly they all stop. They don't know what happened to them as they tried to move but can't move.
They saw In front of them there are many shadows that are moving toward them. The shadow passes through their body then their body turns into ashes. Afterward, all the shadows disappeared.
A similar situation occurs everywhere. In one night, this city turns into a Silent graveyard.
