Silveren. Arguably one of if not the most important planet in the entire galaxy, the very capital planet of the Andromeus-Silveren empire. Situated in one of the solar systems near the Earth's solar system, it was known as the holy graal of the whole Stellar Field, many even qualified it as a legend: in fact: since the formation of the Empire, very few were the ones to know what was happening there. If not for a special permission, even the most important individuals would be shot at sight upon entering the solar system, no matter the reason.

What was truly happening on Silveren was indeed mysterious... but it would be wrong to think that it was the only planet with activity in the system. They all had their own activities, even the smallest one, Silf.

And there, in a small but ultra-securized underground complex, a man was laying unconscious in a Fefnir technology medical system. Standing near it was a pretty short woman, around one meter seventy-three, with long white hair that had a silver shine. She was wearing a black sweater, the same color as her almond eyes, over dark blue jeans. Her eyes, circled by eyelashes of the same white color, shined with a dangerous bright despite their darkness. She also had small bags under her eyes, giving her a tired but not exhausted look.

'Phew, it was very tiring, but it should do it now' Yoria thought. 'Ahh... making so much effort is really not my thing... I'm too lazy for this'

But at least it was done. It would be anytime now...

At first, his eyelids trembled slightly. Then, his fists clenched and every muscle in his body contracted.

"Ah... Ah..."

He started to breath loudly as his entire body shook. And eventually, he sat up and... without warning...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

A scream, out of pure pain, resonnated. Not only in the room, but in the entire complex. It lasted for more than a minute, and many of the employees were reduced to pressing their pained ears with the palms of their hands.

When it finally stopped, the man fell back in the medical system, unconscious once again. After a quick examination, Yoria saw that the man had broken his vocal chords, and sighed again.

'Well, it seems like everyone don't take death really well' she thought.

She patiently waited for the madical technology to heal them, and once it was done, the man opened his mouth to scream again, but she covered it with her hand:

"Shhh, calm down, even a demigod like me will turn deaf if I have to listen to your screams more than that" Yoria said. "Calm down, calm... calm... you have to calm down, Tyler. Remember, you're Tyler Rochemord... and you are alive"

In Tyler's eyes, a sparkle of comprehension ignited, and his body tensed down slightly.

"That's better" Yoria said. "There is no danger here, nobody wants to hurt you, and even death won't find you. Don't force yourself, try to talk slowly, and articulate"

The pain had suddenly disappeared in Tyler's body, leaving behind choc and confusion. What had happened? What was that? Hell? Space? No, more importantly...

"How... am I... alive?" Tyler managed to ask. "Cain... Aquillion... he..."

"He did, but I brung you back to life" Yoria replied as if it was all natural. "Now, you won't have to do any more dirty work for Cifer, and you won't be harassed by maniac demigods for some time. Happy?"

Tyler turned his eyes toward her with pure pain and animosity in his eyes.

"I guess not..." Yoria sighed. "Listen, I can understand that dying, and then just waking up in another place can be shocking, but-"
