1 The Invasion

On February 28, 2040, the son of one of the most powerful persons in the world of Starlight and commander of the special forces of the star kingdom was born. Even though the baby seemed weak, the commander had plans to make this baby into a powerful person that might even surpass him in the future. The commander himself was really strong with only a couple of people being able to fight him head-on.

"I know what you are thinking, and if you kill my baby, I'll kill you!" The commander's wife said as she glared at him. She knew well what her husband wanted to do as soon as she saw his smile when seeing the baby. "Calm down honey, you just gave birth so you should rest some more.", said the commander with a trembling voice. Even if he was one of the strongest persons in the continent, make your wife angry and she'll skin you alive. "Keep talking to me and I'll kill you!", his wife was angry at him right now and he knew it, so he just stayed quiet while thinking about his plans with the baby. "Hmph!", his wife just stopped bothering about thought about a name. "His name is going to be William."

Just a couple of weeks after being born, William was already being "tortured" by his dad. William was being forced to walk even though was too small for that. "Keep your balance in your feet.", "Stand straight.", "Don't rush", the commander kept trying to teach the two-weeks-old William how to walk but was met with William's cry. "Stop bothering him and let him sleep!", yelled Mary from the kitchen, "Is not like he understands what you are saying anyway!".

Just like this, William's hellish "training", at least for his age, kept on going until he was a year old. At this time, a huge chain started to happen around the world. Weird black holes started appearing in cities and desolate places as well. All around the world, people saw how these portals appeared right in front of their eyes. Some were working, others running in the park, or studying, but almost everyone saw how huge portals appeared out of nowhere. The world was in chaos while trying to understand what exactly was going on. The government officials from each country were having a meeting to discuss this. The weird thing is that nothing came out these portals, it seemed that the things inside were observing the situation as well. However, there were always cases of curious people entering these portals, but they never came back.

At William's house, Will asked his mom, "Where's that devil at, mom?". William quickly learned how to talk perfectly after his dad made him study all day every day.

"Baby, don't call him that.", smiled his mom when he heard Will call his dad a "devil". "But he is a devil, mom!".

"I know he is, but he is doing it for your good. He loves as much as I do." His mom said while picking him up and hugged him.

"Yes, yes. But where is he anyway?", asked William still with a careful look because he was truly scared of his dad.

"He was called back to service this morning, he said the world is in danger so he is needed back in the front lines. If you want to know more just go watch T.V.", answered his mother while sitting in front of the T.V. "Okay!", said Will in a cheerful tone while sitting beside his mom. He was truly happy because his dad would stop making him train at the house all day.

The T.V.was showing the latest news about the portals. It said how there was still no movement from them. There were also about 5 portals at the moment opened around the country of Star Kingdom.

The commander had to go back to the meeting with all the high officials in the country. The problem was getting more serious because, after 2 weeks of the portals being opened, fluctuations could be felt from the surroundings of some of the portals. This terrified the officials because they didn't know what might come out of these portals, so they had all of their troops surround the portals. The portals were being heavily guarded, and the troops were ready to attack anything that comes out of it.

Surprisingly, somethings came out of these portals without anybody realizing it. But they weren't monsters; instead, they were humans. These humans came out from the portals so quickly that it was impossible to see with the naked eye. A total of 7 people came out of these portals this way, and after coming out, they separated to gather information about this world.

"They are surprisingly weak in this world.", said one of the humans who came out the portals when meeting back in a roof.

"I know, and I fear it won't be enough at all to protect this world. We need to do something, it was our fault for the portals to open to this world in the first place.", said another of the 7 people.

"Yes, we need to help them. We are only allowed one round trip to this place, so we only have one chance to help them. The rest will depend on them.", said the man who seemed to be the leader of the group.

The war was coming fast and it could be felt all around the world. All the powerful people in each country were prepared to fight anything that comes out and after some days, the first creature came out the biggest portal in the Star Kingdom. Monsters that seemed out of a book started coming out of the portals in waves all around the world. The forces were all trying to defend against the invaders, but they were too weak. Guns and tanks, all military technology was useless against these monsters. They had a hard shell around their bodies and were as tall as a house. Now, that was coming endlessly in every single portal. The commander, who was fighting in the front lines against these giants monsters, was heavily injured by an attack from a monster. Even so, he kept yelling and shooting every monster he saw. He fought hopelessly against these creatures, knowing his end was about to come. A laser was being shot from a tail of a monster directly at him, but before the creature could shoot, its tail was cut in half. Everyone still alive on the battlefield saw this and saw a glimmer of hope. The person who cut the tail landed in front of the commander and extended his arm.

"That was really courageous of you, I'm impressed.", said the leader of the group from the other side of the portal. He had 2 horns growing from the top of his head. His face and body were pretty much of a human, except for the horns and a tail. He was pretty tall and with a built body, and he was holding a long sword that went from the middle of his torso, all the way to his foot. When holding out his hand, his sword dissolved into blue smoke. Then, the rest of his group also landed beside him.

"Who are you?" asked the commander. Even in this weird situation, he was able to think clearly and realized these people weren't normal.

"We just came here to help your world. Even though we are only 7, we are enough to save this piece of land from these low-rank monsters.", said the leader while looking around to the monster he just cut.

"Low-rank?", said the commander, "you mean these are weak?".

"Yes, the weakest of them all. I'll explain later, right now the most important thing is to kill these Apollyon.", the leader said while nodding to the others. Then they all disappeared from their places. Screeches could be heard all around, meaning the monster were all being killed.

"Your country can be saved, but all the others are already destroyed. Most of the people around the world were killed by the Apollyon, so it is too late to help them. We also have little time in this world left, so let me talk to you about the future, I'm sure you are one of the leaders of this country, right?", asked the leader.

"Yes, and I will listen to you for now. I want to know what the hell is going on.", answered the commander.
