Chapter 1: Bloody Reaper
Welcome to the World of Trea, a mostly peaceful world. This world hides a great secret within it: The Ether. A supernatural force that allows those with knowledge of it to wield Magic. This knowledge is more common than you would think however, as most citizens know of the Ether, and as a result, can preform Magic. Now, prepare yourself for a journey into this world of wonder, and betrayal.

Lucina Dinner, Creata City
"Leo! Stop day dreamin! We got customers!"
"Yessir!"
This is Leo. He is a young man in his early 20s. He is currently employed as a waiter at the Lucina Dinner. He has shoulder length black hair, and bright yellow eyes.
"Take this platter to table 4 ASAP."
"Yessir."
Leo took said platter, and took off at a brisk walk to table 4. While walking, his foot hit a loose floorboard, and he fell forward. The platter flew out of his hand, and was on a course to crash into a man seated at the bar. Just before the platter would hit the man, he snapped his fingers, and the platter stopped moving, and hovered in the air.
"Thanks for catching that."
"No prob Leo, but you should really learn how to use Magic. Hell, even my ten year old can use it."
"Sorry, but for whatever reason whenever I try to use Magic, the Ether won't obey me. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to hurry to table........4? Yeah, table 4."
With that Leo grabbed the platter out of the air, and turned away from the man. Making sure not to hit the loose board, Leo started walking to table 4 again. He passed several regulars, and they all greeted him. He was the most well liked waiter at the Dinner.
"Hell, I bet some people here like me better than the Boss........"
With that, Leo arrived at table 4, and noticed that one of the two people at it was one of the regulars, a woman about his age. She had black hair like him however hers went half way down her back, and blue eyes. She was wearing a black short sleeved shirt that was just tight enough to show the curves of her breasts, and blue jeans. The other one must have been her friend, and had red hair and green eyes. She was wearing a blue T-shirt, and a blue miniskirt.
"Here ya go. Tell me if this sounds right..........one bowl of our famous chicken noodle, and a turkey sandwich?"
"Yup, sounds right to me. What about you Rachael?" The red head asked her friend.
"Leo always gets orders right Chelsea, its just something he has to say."
"Well, if you don't need anything else, I'll be going."
Leo started walking away, however he was just about to walk out of ear shot, he over heard the two woman say something.
"So, Rach, when are you gonna tell him?"
"Wha? I-I don't kn-know what y-you mean."
"Hell you don't. When are you gonna tell that Leo guy you like him?"
"Hmph. Who'd a known." Leo muttered.
"Leo! Hurry up! We got hungry customers!"
"Coming Boss!"

Miar St. Creata City
"Damn, it was a long day today." Leo complained as he walked towards his apartment.
"I mean, seriously, we were so busy......"
The man reached an intersection in the road, and quickly glancing each direction, he ran across the street. When he got to the other side, he noticed a flier on the ground and picked it up. On it there was a rough sketch of a man in a black cloak and top hat with a bird mask. Underneath it it said:
Bloody Reaper
Wanted for: Murder, Robbery
Extra Info: N/A
"Heh, guess I better be careful." Stuffing the flier into his pocket, Leo continued on his way. He passed several people on the way, however he kept his head down to attract as little attention as possible. For the most part he succeeded, however because he wasn't paying enough attention to where he was going, he walked right into a person.
"Sorry, just passing."
"Not so fast you piece of shit."
The man grabbed Leo's shoulder and turned him around. Leo looked up at the man, and realized he was rather large. He at least six feet tall. He had tanned skin, was bald, and was wearing a body builder outfit.
"I need to teach you to watch were your goin."
The man raised his fist, however before he was able to make contact, a teenager ran out of an alley screaming.
"RUN! HE KILLED HIM! THE BLOODY REAPER KILLED HIM!!"
The body builder suddenly let go of Leo, and quickly began to leave the area. Then again, so did 90% of the others. Leo and the few remaining slowly walked over to the alley, and saw a man in black hunched over something. When the man stood up and turned around, you could clearly see a white bird mask on his face.
"Ah, more prey, how lovely."
"N-no......thats impossible........."
Leo was rooted in one spot. With wide eyes he watched as the black clad man stalked closer.
"Dammit kid, MOVE!"
Leo felt a hand on his shoulder, an he fell backwards. He looked up and saw a police officer standing in front of him. He pulled out his gun, and pointed it at the Bloody Reaper."
"Your under arrest! Put your hands up!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if I could be caught that easily, I would have already been caught. Now, Bleed!"
The man snapped his fingers, and pointed his hand at the Policeman, however nothing happened.
"And I wouldn't be here if I weren't prepared. I've had a Magic canceling field set up. You can't use any of your parlor tricks."
"That may be true, however I have more than parlor tricks."
The man reached into his cloak, and pulled out a trigger.
"This little piece of M-Tech here will cause an explosion by using the stagnant Ether from that Field you've set up. All I have to do is press this button, and everyone here except me dies."
At this the Policeman paled.
"You wouldn't."
"I would."
After a moment, the Policeman put his gun away, and stepped back. He grabbed Leo's shoulder, and dragged the man with him away from the alley. When they got back to the crowd, the Bloody Reaper, turned around, and ran down the alley before disappearing.
"Nothing more to see here people, just head home."
Leo took this advice and stood before turning and running in the direction of his apartment. When he had put some distance between him and the others he slowed to a brisk walk.
"Its impossible. Impossible! The Bloody Reaper!? Hell no. I won't believe it."
When he reached his apartment complex, he saw a woman standing in front of the door, and briefly panicked before recognizing her.
"Your.......Rachael.......why are you here?"
"Ummm.......well......the thing is I......um.........I-I don't know how to say this but.....I.....I kinda..........."
Leo knew what she was going to say from what he had heard at the dinner. With an oddly blank look he met her eyes.
"No. I can't. Sorry. You'll only get hurt."
With that Leo walked into the apartment complex.
"I'll only get hurt......? What does that mean?"

Miar Apartment Complex, apartment # 42 Creata City
"Damn. Why? The Bloody Reaper?"
Leo was sitting on a couch in the living room of his apartment. He had changed out of his waiter uniform, and was wearing a white button up shirt, and beige pants. He was staring at the ceiling of his apartment, contemplating what had happened.
"I need to eat."
Standing up, Leo walked into the small kitchen of his apartment, and opened the fridge. There wasn't much in it. He reached in and grabbed a small bag, and pulled a sandwich out of it. Biting into it he grimaced.
"I can't stand Lucina's crap, but its all I can afford right now." He said to himself.
Finishing the sandwich in several bites, he walked back into the living room, and sat down on the couch again. He reached over and grabbed the remote off the coffee table, and hit the power button.
"Might as well see whats on."
As Leo surfed through the channels, he came to the news.
"This just in, there are several confirmed victims of the serial killer known as the Bloody Reaper. We know this because they all have had their circulatory system destroyed from the inside out, a signature of his so called "Blood Magic". On a similar note, we now have an idea of what this killers face looks like, for a surviving victim said that the man would take his mask off to after killing, and reported that the man has black hair and yellow eyes-"
That was all Leo heard. He dropped the remote and stood up.
"N-no way........t-that can't be............"

Yulan St. Creata City
"Damn. I'm just being paranoid." Leo muttered.
He was standing in the shadows of an alleyway, trying to find the Bloody Reaper. When he heard on the news that the killer has similar facial features as him, he had immediately set out to find him. Giving up, Leo turned to walk back to his apartment.
"Excuse me ma'am, have you seen someone with black hair and yellow eyes?"
Leo stiffened. He slowly turned his head in the direction of the voice, and saw a policeman talking to an elderly lady.
"Why yes I have. That young man over there." She said while pointing at Leo.
"Thank you miss." He turned and walked over to Leo.
"You sir. What is your name?"
"Leo."
"Do you have a last name?"
"Yes. Who doesn't?"
"Well, what is it?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because you match the description of the man known as the Bloody Reaper, and thus, you are under suspicion of being him. Your last name please."
"No."
"If you don't tell me-"
The officer put his hand on Leo's left shoulder. Immediately Leo's eyes misted over. He grabbed the officer's arm, and twisted it, before using his full strength to throw the man over his shoulder. He heard a snap meaning he had broken the officer's arm.
"Dammit. Thats assault! What was that for!?"
"Don't touch my arm."
"Damn, I need backup then."
The officer reached into his pocket and pulled out a small receiver.
"This is Jarold. I found a suspicious person, and he attacked me, send backup now!"
"Damn, this is the last thing I need."
Leo started to run away, however he didn't get far. After he had ran about a block and a half, a policeman jumped around the corner and grabbed him.
"Wha? How!?"
"Magic really is something, lets me know where you are."
"Grr........let go of me!"
Leo twisted his arm, and after a minute of struggling was able to get the man off of him, however in the time it had taken, several other officers had caught up to him, including the one he had broken the arm of. Leo also noted that the civilians were gone, probably evacuated from the area.
"Now then, Leo, your gonna tell us why you've been killing all those innocent people!"
"I didn't kill any of them!"
"You match the description perfectly." Said another one of the officers.
"Yeah, you can't weasel out of this. Tell us why you killed them!"
"I have never killed an innocent!" Leo yelled.
The officer with the broken arm sighed.
"Guess we have to do this the hard way."
He pulled out his gun and shot Leo in the leg.
"Dammit! What was that for!?"
"Tell us why you did it!"
"For the last time! I. Did. Not. Kill. Those. People!"
"Fine. If you won't admit to it, we'll just say that you resisted arrest, and got shot by accident."
"What? How can you say that so calmly?............You've said that before, haven't you?"
"Several times actually."
Leo clenched his fists and looked at the ground.
"In that case-"
"HAHAHA! He is telling the truth you fools!"
Everyone looked up and saw a man in a black cloak and top hat on top of a building. He snapped his fingers, and jumped down. Just before he would crash into the pavement, he suddenly stopped, and gently touched down.
"I am the Bloody Reaper. And to prove it......."
The man snapped his fingers, and pointed his hand at Leo.
"You will die."
Leo was suddenly seized with a coughing fit, and when he was done, saw blood in his hands.
"Internal hemorrhaging......." He muttered before collapsing to the ground.
"Now, its your turn."
The man snapped his fingers, and spun his hand in a circle, in the process pointing it at every one of the police officers.
"Now, you can all die for me."
The officers were suddenly seized with similar coughing fits as Leo, and started collapsing one by one until there was only four left.
"Now then, lets have a little extra fun with the rest, why don't we?"
He snapped his fingers again, however before he could point, there was a flash of silver, and a knife had imbedded itself in his hand.
"Its rude to ignore someone, you know that?"
The Bloody Reaper and the remaining police officers turned to see Leo standing perfectly fine. Two of the officers fainted thinking they were looking at a zombie, while the other two – one of which was the one with the broken arm – simply stared in amazement. The Bloody Reaper was just completely shocked.
"Blood Magic won't affect me in any way you charlatan."
Leo snapped his fingers, and pointed at the Bloody Reaper.
"THIS is how you use Blood Magic."
The Bloody Reaper reached up and felt his neck. His mask fell of revealing lifeless yellow eyes. The man took a few steps towards Leo, before his head fell off.
"Simple, no?"
Leo turned around to see that the civilians had returned during the confrontation with the Reaper, and they were all looking at him with shocked faces. Leo noticed one of the faces was Rachael. He saw a sudden understanding in her eyes as she realized what his words earlier had ment.
"Wh-who are you!?" One of the remaining officers yelled.
"Who am I? I'm Leo. However, several of you have given me a rather fitting nickname. The vast majority of you know me as The Bloody Reaper."
Chapter 1 End.
What did you think? I have been planning this for awhile. It is a completely original idea I have had in my head for awhile, and I decided to write it as a fanfiction after prompting from ZacharyxNatalie on YT.
Please, Review.
