Chapter 1 The Beginning

My name is Elsword, I live with my sister, Eve.

Even though I said we're siblings we were not blood related.
When I was small my parents found an abandoned small girl so they took her home, hence she became my little sister.

My blood older sister is going abroad, she needs to finish her study out there.
She will only return home once in a year when she gets her holiday.

And so, let the story begin.

-Elsword's POV-

"Nii-san, wake up. It's already 6AM."
(To give a better impression I chose Nii-san rather than big bro.)
Eve, my little sister is waking me up in an early morning.

"Urghh... Just 5 more minutes..."

I pull my blanket to cover my face.

"No, Nii-san. You promised that today you will wake up early."

She pull my blanket down.
Can't be helped, I 'did' promised her that.

"Fine..."

I sleepily wake up.
I yawned as I rub my eyes.

"The breakfast is ready, hurry up and wash your face first."

If I look closely.
She's wearing her usual outfit.
(White Phantom Thief Costume except for the head part, since I need to keep her CBS impression.)

That outfit really fits her.
Even though she lacks of woman curves she still looks so pretty in that outfit, maybe it's because of her face.

If you look closely, she's a cool beauty.

"Nii-san, I think you just imagined something rude."
"It's just your imagination."
I replied in a calm tone.
"Really?"

She looked at me suspiciously.

"Of course, did you doubt your Nii-san?"
"Yes, since Nii-san is clearly acting too cover things up."
As expected of my sister, so sharp.

"You're right, I'm sorry."
"The way you apologize is annoying, stop it if you don't really want to apologize."
Just how sharp can you be, Eve?

"*Sigh*... I'm sorry..."
I pat her head.

"*Pouts slightly* Umm... Nii-san is cheating."
She always forgive me when I pat her head even thought her face doesn't seem to be forgiving.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go to school."
"Yes, you should be preparing yourself Nii-san, because today we've got a test."

"... I think I misheard something, mind to say it again?"

"We've got a test."

"CRAP! I HAVEN'T EVEN STUDIED ANYTHING!"
I starts to panic.
Even thought she's my younger sister she attends the same class as me because she's so clever that she can jump 2 grades.
She's actually 2 years younger than me.

It's kinda frustrating when others knows we're siblings and starts to compare us.
Good thing Eve always ask them to stop their bad mouthing.

"Jeez, Nii-san..."
She sighed and prepared my uniform when I hurriedly rush to the bathroom.
After I finished bathing I wear my uniform. (White Phantom Thief costume without the head costume of course.)
When I go out from my room I saw Eve's already waiting for me.

"Let's go Eve."
She nodded and we head to our school.
The St. Elena Highschool in Hamel.

"Nii-san, have you studied for this test?"

"Don't worry, I only need a quick look at the book to memorize all of it."

"*Sigh*You planned to cheat on this test didn't you?"

"As expected of my sister, that's the only way we idiots pass the test."
She sighed again as our teacher Glaive enters the room.
This weirdo always wears his mask like 24/7!
No one ever seen him removes his mask.
Even thought I'm not a gay I did curious how his face is like, I bet he has some scars he doesn't want anyone to see.

"Okay, now keep your books, we're going to start our test."
He just said keep without a certain location like in our bag, so I just kept it in my drawer.

This test is gonna be easy!

He starts to spread the test sheets.
When I look into the questions...
Something's wrong.

Question #1:
What's the name of your favorite teacher?

...

The fuck?
Let's move to the next question.

Question #2:
Did you enjoyed your time in this school?

...

"HOW CAN THIS BE CALLED A TEST!?"
I can hear the whole class shouted at Glaive the teacher.

"Chill, try to remember what I said yesterday."
We tried to remember what he said.

"We're going to have a test, don't worry it will not be hard, since it's about your impressions of this school."
He... Did said something like that...

So we just sighed and answer all those ridiculous questions.
We only heard 'Test' that's why we studied so hard, this is the real example of hear the instructions until finished then do it.

Wait-

I'm in no position to say I studied hard after all.

"Sensei is always full of surprise..."
Eve sighed as we walk to the cafeteria.
"That one hell of a teacher doesn't give a shit to what are we thinking after all."
I replied to her.

We don't have anything to do that's why we decided to buy some foods.
Her long hair flutters as she walk.
Mom always ask her to cut her hair but she doesn't want it.

But I prefer her hair this long though, it's beautiful to see her long silver hair flutters like this.

"So, what's this siscon thinking about?"
Aisha, my classmate which is also my childhood friend surprised me from behind.

"WOAH!? Aisha, you...! And I'm not a siscon!"

"..."

Somehow I can see Eve shows displeasure from her face, is she against the idea? Or she's just mad at Aisha?

"Nii-san is one hell of a womanizer."
"Where did that come from!?"
"Eh? You're not?"
"Don't act like 'It's a shock that you're really not a womanizer' please, Aisha!"
"Shut up, stop shouting Nii-san."
"Sorry."

...

How the hell I end up apologizing?
After buying some food we get back to class to enjoy our food, Aisha in the other hand only bought a can of soda water.

"Are you not hungry, Aisha-san?"
"I'm not, Eve. By the way what happened to him?"
Aisha's pointing at me.
I feel like my soul has left my body right now.

"Just let him be, Nii-san often be like that when he loses an argument with me one-sidely."
I've lost my dignity as a human.
I can't be angry with my sister.

That continues until night.

"Finally your soul's back, Nii-san?"
"Yeah, thanks for blowing away my soul before."
We walk back to home together.
But it's already late night.

"Why you waited for me? you should've go back home earlier."

"It's fine, I have Nii-san to accompany me after all."

"Well..."
The way she said that embarrassed me a bit.

"..."

Suddenly she stopped moving.
"Hmm? What's up, Eve?"

"... Nii-san, run away."
"Huh? What-"

"RUN AWAY, NII-SAN!"
Without understanding what happened I obediently obey her and run away from the spot.

-Eve's POV-

...
Seems like he's gone.

"... You're there aren't you?"

"..."

A silhouette of a girl appears.
The shadow below her feet seems to waver.
"Amazing, you can sense my presence."

"... Aisha-san."
The one who stands before me is Aisha-san.
Nii-san's childhood friend.

Below the moonlight I can see her grin.

"To think that you would be my enemy, that's quite unfortunate, Aisha-san."

"Fufufu, your enemy, huh?
Her purple twintail sways.

"I should be the one who say that, Eve. No... Code E.V.E III isn't it?"
"Don't call me with that name..."
I glared at her.
I don't like that name.
That's the last name I want for my name.

"But it's the real you, isn't it-"
She evades my attack very smoothly.
It's like she've expected my attack would come.
"What a rude treatment, Code E.V.E III... To fire a laser beam toward your friend."
"Friend is the last word I want to hear from you, Blood Witch."

Blood Witch.

As the name imply.
A witch that seeks for blood.
Technically she's a vampire witch.
"... Still better than you, Artificial Witch."

...

Artificial Witch.
As the name imply.
A manmade witch, the only different is I don't use magic, but cyber technology which humans considers it as magic.

My body is a human, however inside my body many cyber installments already installed.

"You're already following us since we're a child, right?"
"Yes, I always waited for the right moment to strike my revenge."
"... Revenge?"
"Don't act like you don't know anything, Artificial Witch. Your kind... kills my parents!"

Artificial Witch were created to fight back against Blood Witch.
Just a mere laser beam we can vanquish a Blood Witch who's weak against light.
However, Blood Witch also possessed a horrible power.

They can turns anyone into Blood Witch just by drinking someone's blood.
That's why their numbers are so huge.
Even thought an Artificial Witch can vanquish a Blood Witch effortlessly they still can't fight a horde of Blood Witch by themselves, not to mention Artificial Witches are limited, not anyone can be an Artificial Witch.

"That's only normal, we exist to destroy your kind."
I said that emotionlessly.

"That's why, I will have my revenge!"
She bared her fangs and rushed to me.

"...!"

I shot a laser beam at her.
She evades it with a horrible agility.

"Kuh-!"
I back off a bit to evade her bite.
Just one bite is enough to turns me into a Blood Witch.

If that's what happened it would be better.
To Artificial Witch, being bitten means death.

To avoid having Artificial Witch as an enemy the one who creates Artificial Witch Installed an equipment called Self-Destruct.
As its name imply, when Blood Witch bit us, the equipment will turn on automatically and explodes our body in 3 seconds.
So that we can bring the Blood Witch that bit us to die together.

But I have no wish to die.
"How troublesome... It seems your magic is body reinforcement, you moved so fast."
"Good if you know, with this speed and my sense no Artificial Witch poses a threat on me."
She disappears from my sight.
What a speed.

"Eve!"

"!"

-Elsword's POV-

It's weird, why did I run away?
Isn't it's the men's role to protect a woman?
I turn back, and there I saw...

Aisha, wearing dark robe and her eyes seemed to be redder than mine.
"What..."

Aisha's cornering Eve with an astounding speed, I think I have to do something.

"Eve!"

"!"

Suddenly Aisha run toward me and held my hand behind my back.
"What a moron... You should've run just now like what Code E.V.E III said ealier."
"A-Aisha... What are you talking about?"
"Leave him alone!"
"Fufufu... Watch closely, Code E.V.E III... I'll show you the despair of losing someone important to you."

"NO! DON'T!"
Eve screamed.

And then...

Bite.
My neck felt a strange feeling of pain.
It hurts.

"*Slurp*"

Aisha licks her lips that's covered by my blood as she let me off slowly.
I fell on my knees.

"NII-SAN!"
Eve run toward me.
I can't even breathe...

My consciousness is fading gradually.

"Fufufu, this is enough, we might not seeeach other again, Code E.V.E III, savor despair for yourself."

Aisha fades away in the darkness.
"Nii-san, Nii-san! Hang on!"
As my consciousness fade I can feel Eve's helping me get up and we get to our home.
I fell unconscious after that.
