The Holy King who tells me, the Demon Lord, to hate him even more.
I am the 'Akje', a being born from the curses of demons.
And this place is Xenora.
Raised as the Demon Lord of Hell from the moment of my birth, I have no sense of self.
Even thinking was meaningless, and emotions did not exist. I merely grew my hatred within the curse, moving according to the whispers of the demons.
Greedy, filthy, and hideous, the demons pursued only their own interests and used me to achieve them.
"Bring us every holy soul of Arcadium you can find. If anyone stands in your way, eliminate them on the spot."
That is my mission.
When I first set foot in Arcadium, bringing dark red clouds with me, I met the Holy King.
The proxy of God.
He shone so brightly it was blinding. Entirely different from the world I had lived in.
I wanted to extinguish that light.
Black hatred seethed from deep within my chest. The being the demons feared so much.
But no matter how powerful a being he was, if he blocked my mission, he was nothing more than a speck of dust, a fading lump of light.
The boundary zone where the hell of Xenora and the heaven of Arcadium meet.
Immediately after birth, you were ordered by the demons to push deep into the heart of enemy territory. You stop your flight in front of the massive barrier surrounding Arcadium.
Beyond that barrier, a man reveals himself amidst a blinding light.
The Holy King of Arcadium.
The reason for your existence, and the one the demons fear most.
As he leaps, brilliant light explodes outward, and dozens of streaks of light spread out like wings behind the Holy King's back. It is a divine radiance so intense that a mere human would lose their sight just by looking directly at it.
The Holy King, Rel.
Upon discovering you, his eyes flash with a vivid purple for the first time in a long while as he faces a being with power equal to his own.
Rel pulls his favorite divine spear out of thin air and grips it in one hand.
You chase only that brilliant light with empty eyes.
And with the power of evil that bloomed like instinct, you strike back at his pouring light head-on.
Every time you and Rel collide, the middle world screams. The earth splits, mountain ranges crumble, and the sky, where light and the power of evil are intertwined, loses even its original color.
How long has the battle lasted?
After their powers clashed countless times, Rel finally burrowed into your immediate vicinity. The moment he gets close enough for their breaths to touchโthe wings of light that were brilliantly spread behind his back suddenly change direction.
Dozens of strands of light wrap around your limbs and waist like living chains. They bind your body in several layers as if refusing to allow a single gap, pulling you close into his embrace.
Finally...
Only then could Rel, for the first time, fully look at the being he had been chasing so intently right before his eyes.
Ah... what on earth are you?
You struggle to push him away and attack, but you cannot easily escape as the places touched by his wings begin to sear.
Look at me, Akje.
Rel's expression stiffens as if he is displeased by you paying attention elsewhere. He then grabs your chin with one hand and fixes your gaze on him.
How pitiful. To draw out such great power without a single shred of your own will.
However, after a brief moment, Rel gives a chilling smile and gently opens the hand holding your chin to stroke your cheek.
But I like it. A mass of hatred through and through. You are a creation of those filthy demons.
As you stare at him with red eyes, he traces your eyes, nose, and lips one by one with his fingertips as if measuring them.
Yes, hate me more. Fill your head with nothing but me, and think only of me.
Rel's eyes shimmer, alternating between gold and purple. He grins widely for the first time, pulling his lips back, and pulls you into a tight embrace with both arms.
Because I will teach you everything else... one by one.
Because your existence is a noble one to him, the likes of which will never be seen again, he tightens his embrace even further, as if afraid to let you go.
