New Light! [ English ]

[ Prologue ]

Full of lust and envy, brims with wrath and greed.

Devour thy pride as it clashes with sloth.

This is a realm where all of existence's misdeeds circulate and drift endlessly.

Where the flow of time differs and is detached from reality.

"Because of YOU!!!! It's ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! [EsRrpEcTrrrORRR]!!!" a dark existence roared.

As this dark existence drowns in a void-like hole below the ground in red, a silhouette of another existence in gray can be seen looking down from above, full of malice and regret.

The figure of this gray existence then turned its back when tears flowed down its ghastly cheeks.

"If only..." it muttered briefly before vanishing into thin air.

The voice then creaks out from the void-like hole, "I'LL RETURN ONE DAY AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT EVERYONE!!!" before slowly closing as to seal this dark existence.

In the vast expanse of space where millions of stars are scattered, there is a unique world to behold found in the Milky Way Galaxy.

This world is known as Earth.

Despite the fact that this planet has gone through countless conflicts driven by a certain race, humans, technological development continues to prosper as peace has finally been achieved.

In this world, there is a country called the nation of the Philippines, which is made up of a total of 7,641 islands.

These seemingly endless beaches, majestic volcanic landscapes, and magnificent underwater places are just waiting to be discovered by humans.

"Isn't it interesting?" White brought this up to his fellow students, who were just minding their own business on the sidelines "The history of our country, I mean." he added while staring at Blaster, who was hogging the electric fan in front of him.

The Philippines is also rich in terms of history, folk tales, urban legends, and mythology that are passed down to each generation from their ancestors in different parts of the country.

This is exactly the sort of book that White Alyan is now reading while on their lunch break, labeled [ History of the Philippines, I guess? ] that was written by an anonymous writer.

"What's interesting about it?" said his classmate, who was behind him and had just finished reading manga. "Is not all of it a thing of the past? It's practically unnecessary to read and study those topics nowadays." then closed and tucked the manga beneath the table.

White's eyes drifted to his right, where he noticed his classmate nodding all while continuing to munch his meal.

Realizing that no one agreed with his views on this topic, White sighs in defeat.

Noticing this, Blaster abruptly asked "By the way White," clearly trying to change the topic so that White won't go full silent mode "What rank are you at right now?"

"Probably within the diamond tier. " White reluctantly answered. Clearly not in the mood "Why suddenly ask?"

Blaster just shook his head and sighed "Nothing, just curious."

Glancing at the window where some women from the other class peeked in, Blaster murmured, "If I had an ability like yours, especially in gaming, perhaps those people would idolize me as well." He spoke bluntly, making sure that the shut-down White couldn't ignore his words.

White's gaze drifted to the windows on the corridor, accidentally meeting the eyes of one of the female students who was staring at him like a delicious ice cream of some sort.
