Prologue
The world wasn't coming to an end; in fact it was just starting. Although it was just the start, chaos still erupted and spread to the world itself. With this, simple sins such as lying, backstabbing, etc. turned into mass suffering, war and most especially death. With death, it is expected that some people were never prepared for such a vague thing to happen. This resulted in the desperate taking a drastic measure and that is to bring back the dead to life.
When the great flood was over, a man named Noah, who survived, populated the empty world once more. The problem was that the hatred and memories were present within every person, since the family of Noah had once increased humanity and thus that one human will awaken as a Noah. They are called "Apostles". Apostles have a darkened ash skin, amber or golden eyes, bluish black hair and the Stigmata on their forehead (a cross-like marking). Originally, there were 14 of them, and the one that stood out the most was called the Millennium Earl.
Seven thousand years ago, before the Great flood happened, there was a battle between the Noah and the first users of innocence. Accounts say that it was a great battle that destroyed the world as they know it,thus causing the flood. This period was known as the "Three Days of Darkness". The Earl died in a fight against the wielder of the heart of the innocence. The remaining 13 repopulated and 35 years later he was once again revived. But there was a traitor in the family, the 14thNoah.
People who lost their loved ones tend to think that God is hateful and that they were never given a chance to prepare for the worst. This is when the Millennium Earl sees a chance to steal them away. Because of various emotions lurking in the human souls such as sadness and anger, he offers them the chance to bring back the people who they once lost back to their side, and knowing that they are in an unstable state, surely they will accept the offer. Little did they know that the soul inside the lifeless, cold skeleton was their loved one who was now painfully turning into a demon known as an, Akuma. The tortured soul will be trapped inside the skeleton and forced to follow the Earl's orders. Because they need a body he ordersit to take the body of the person who has mourned and accepted the deal, this basically means, killing them. Once the body is lifeless, the skeletal machine shall force its way through the torn body, literally take the form of that persona and wearing their skin. But the soul has no will power against the machine, which is made created by the Earl only to kill humans.
In order to defeat an Akuma, one must posses Innocence. When the war ended, the cube broke and all its parts were scattered across the world, including the heart that was vital, those parts were called Innocence. Innocence is an anti-akuma weapon that is also known as the Crystal of God, it needs an accommodator in order to activate. People who wield it are chosen by the Innocence itself. May it be a parasitic or equipment type, those who accommodate it were known as Exorcists.
Waking up in an unknown location, I found myself face to face with a boy who, at first, was shocked but then looked at me suspiciously. He had hair as white as snow and spiky which reached down to his chin. His hand, no, his whole left arm crooked. It was as hard as steel, yet his skin was just as warm like a regular person's heat. The fingers were sharp and it had a red cross embarked on it. That wasn't the only thing that captured my attention. I was mainly focused on the scar on his left eye, a mark of an Akuma. Though my senses were hazy, I couldn't have mistaken it for any other mark, I know it too well. He seemed to be saying something to me but I couldn't hear him clearly, my body was numb and my senses were still malfunctioning. I think the deep gash on my abdomen was releasing too much blood, the flow is still strong and the circulation in my body is speeding up. I felt strange, it was like I was regaining my energy back and the wound felt like it was closing up by itself. I couldn't tell what it was but I felt power rushing, circulating into my blood stream. Filling me up.
