Chapter 01
-Vatican-
"Holy Guards! After him!"
A hooded man ran as fast as possible through the halls of the Great Church of Vatican, a squadron of white-armored knights hot on his tail. The items that he required has already been acquired, now to get out of here before he bite more than he can chew.
"Lethal force is approved! Retrieve the Ascalon and Novus Lemegeton at all costs!"
The man slows down his steps on purpose. The armored knights approached quickly, thinking that he's lost his breath and would be easy to catch. But it was proven wrong when the hooded man moves swiftly, swings the sword beneath his cloak so lightly, as if it was a wooden stick… and launched a sword wave that threw all of them at a nearby wall.
"Darn it! Foolish incompetents! Just call a Brave Saint!"
The hooded man resumes his jogging towards the secret exit he has secured before infiltrating this building.
"Mr. Gesualdo is available? Quickly, call him…! What? He's eating? I don't need to hear that!"
It seems like it was a truly lucky day for the hooded man. It was almost too easy. It was as if the world has approved his actions today, and decided to fully support him. Fate itself is on his side. Now, before they changed their mind and turned on him, he will go to his destination.
… to his King.
A young man who have white hair and red eyes watching the horrible scenery, the people were attacked. He also see the fight or wars what he prefer, the group with bat wings, birds wings amd the last same with the color is black. They fight and destroying everything with no care about the consequences, people were dying. And the worst is all he can do was merely stood by and watched, he can't do anything.
Is this the fate that can't be change? Can't he do something? Can someone like him stop this madness?
"This makes you sad, right?" he heard someone voice.
He turn around and then, a strange man appeared, he wearing a hood so he can't see the man's face, except for the tanned skin and a few strands of white hair.
"All you can do is just watching and can't help anyone in need. You are powerless. The ones with power don't care about what happens to the others. Besides, what you see right now is just the past, but that doesn't mean somethingsimilar can't happen in the future."
Then the man touched the young man shoulder.
"Boy, you are a natural born ruler. You will become the King of All, and your duty will be to save this world from destruction."
The young man slowly open his eyes, he looked around and he realized that he was in his room. Safe and definitely sound. He put a hand on his head.
'That dream again...'
Then the young man soon washed his face and changed his clothes with his school uniform, brought his bags and go down to the kitchen. In the kitchen he saw a man who seemed to be preparing the breakfast.
"Good morning, Uncle."
"Ah, Rizuki-kun good morning, the breakfast soon will be ready so just sit."
"Okay." Rizuki said.
Soon the two of them start eating their breakfast.
The young man's name is Rizuki Narukami, 2nd high school soon to be 3rd. He was just an orphan because his parent died in an accident, and now he is living with his kind uncle who adopted him… Junichirou Narukami.
Junichirou's job is an odd one, his actual job are just selling and making custom rings but for some reason the customer always asked him to repair things that totally unrelated with rings. Electronic devices like phones, for example. See? It has totally nothing to do with rings.
After the breakfast Rizuki prepare himself to go to school until his uncle speaks to him.
"Rizuki-kun, soon you'll be 3rd years right? Are you going to take the entrance exam for college? Any plans for the university you want to enter?"
"No, I'm not taking them. I told you before, I'm going to be a King."
That's right. His dream is to be a King, it was always his dream to become one since he was still a kid. He doesn't know why he wants become the King but he wants to create the world that is better. Even if his dream is childish, he admits that he can't help but to try it anyway.
"Of course, you gonna be a King. You're on different wave from the rest of us. Now go to school before you're late."
"Okay Uncle, I'm off."
"Be careful out there, okay?"
He soon goes to school with slow pace, as he walks on the road he sees some student with the same school uniform as him chatting each other while Rizuki just yawns. If he now increase his pace maybe he should be able to get some sleep before the classrooms began.
Rizuki turned and saw Karate club from his school jogged past him for their morning club activity. After they passed him they stopped for a moment.
"Yo, Narukami. I heard rumors from the school… you seriously said you wanted to become a King?" the captain Karate club said.
"Ah...hahaha...yeah." Rizuki chuckled.
"Even little kids wouldn't say that anymore!"
"Well, being a King someday was the only thing I could think of..."
Then the captain suddenly grabs Rizuki shoulder.
"What are you-?"
"You need some sense knocked into you!"
Then he puts a foot against Rizuki chest and drags him to the ground and began to throw Rizuki over him, he shout as he fall and land on his back. Before the captain said anything he saw a girl rush to Rizuki side.
She is a very beautiful pale-skinned girl with long white-silver hair and clear, sky-blue eyes, she also wearing school uniform like Rizuki and same as him.
"What are you doing to him?" the girl said as she checks on Rizuki to make sure he's not injured. "Are you bullying him?"
"No, nothing like that. I just tried to wake him from his dream."
"That makes no sense."
"But we had to try, we had to make him face reality."
"Still, your way is unacceptable!"
"Hey Captain just wanted to help him, Marius! No need to fuss over this problem!" The other Karate Club member replied. "In fact, why are you still hanging around this dork!" one of member club said.
"He is my friend! And I know you, you guys are always making fun of his dream!" the girl, now known as Marius said.
"His dream is a ridiculous one. He's already a lost cause, what with his dream to become a King or whatever it is!"
"How could you say that!?"
Before a fight could break between them, the captain made a wise decision.
"Come on guys, it not worth arguing with her." he said, and then he briefly glance at Rizuki.
"You're a waste on someone like her Narukami. Especally someone beautiful and popular on the school." He said as he and the other members of Karate club soon moved on ahead.
"Can you stand Rizuki?" Marius asked as she pulled him up.
"Yeah, thank you… Sella." Rizuki said.
Sella Aldo Marius.
The most beautiful and popular girl in his school, coming from a supposedly rich and family but acts nothing like them. She is very polite and down to earth. She is also very smart and is always the number one in his class, many fellow students have confessed to her but she always rejected their confession, for some strange reason.
He first met her when he was still in middle school and she was the only one who didn't make fun of him out of all his schoolmates because of his, and he quotes them, 'immature and childish' dream.
After Rizuki stands properly and clears up the dust from his uniform, they decided to walk together to school. While they are walking Sella decides to start a conversation.
"You know, you have to fight back if someone is making fun of you. If you do nothing, they will think it's okay to harass you like this!"
"If I fight back, then I can't prove I can become a King. A King doesn't involve himself in petty squabbles." Rizuki folds his arms around his chest, trying to look as 'kingly' as possible. "And I think you should consider their word."
"Why?"
"You know it as well, everyone thinks my dream is silly..."
"But I don't think so."
"Even so...don't you think it's weird? I don't know why, but I felt that I need to make it happen. Maybe they right about me is strange."
"And I said I don't think so! If you want to become a King then make it come true, you don't have to listen to the others abou what you want to do. Besides..."
"Besides?"
"I think you can make it happen... to become a King."
Rizuki is speechless, no one supported his dream before, usually they laughed at him or making fun of him. Just Sella the one who supported him like this, the moment they met and when she heard about his dream only her who doesn't laugh at him. It makes him think that he can really become a King.
After few minutes of walking they arrived at their school.
Unsurprisingly, everyone in the school that happens to be around them, look at him strangely and jealously. Well he can expect that, because beside him is everyone's idol in the school and he, of all people, walk with her. Normally Rizuki and Sella don't walk to school together even if she is his classmate and he knew her since middle school.
As they walked around, Rizuki realized that the school is having the amount of fewer people than usual, and when they arrived at the class' amount of students is fewer as well. It seems like they have mysteriouly disappeared.
Few minutes later he heard the bell rings and the teacher enters his class, but the teacher is not his homeroom teacher.
"Good Morning class, as you can see your homeroom teacher is not here. And maybe some of you knew from news that some student and staff disappeared but I want you all stay calm because this is not kidnapping, but I want you all to be careful and if you don't have club activities, you must immediately go home. Now the homeroom will began."
The school ended well at least, Rizuki soon got out of class and breathes the air of freedom. He briefly glances at Sella who seems to be busy with her friends, he doesn't want to bother her so he goes home alone, he doesn't know why but he could feel that Sella was hiding something not only to him but to the others as well.
Since they first meet he could tell that something is seriously off with her, but he shook his head… maybe that's just his imagination. When he walks past some student he can hear their murmurs about the strange kid with the strange dream or something like that.
What he does is just let it what they said, Sella is right he can't let the others decide what he wants to do. Besides, he will prove to them that he can be a King. If what the man from his dream said is true, whoever that man was, then this is the only path he should chose.
After he past the school front of gate, he remember about what the teacher said about the disappearances of some students and school staff members. Maybe he should try to find out about what is happening. Besides, it is a King's job to make sure his citizen and subjects are okay.
Unknown to him, he was being watched by someone and that person seems to be holding a book in his hand.
Before Rizuki enters his home, he sees the sign near the door 'Rooms available'… well his house is big enough since it's also a shop and they have many rooms. His uncle rented a room because it would be such a waste if the room was unused so he decided to rent it.
When he walks inside the shop he sees his uncle with a costumer.
"I think it just needs some part. Come pick up in three days." Junichirou informs handing back waiting paper.
"Okay,that's good. Thank you very much."
"Don't mention it." Junichirou send the customer off.
Rizuki heads to the kitchen to grab a drink. Opening the fridge, he grabs a cooling jug of milk and he also grabs a cup from the cupboard.
"Uncle, I'm home." Rizuki greet as he pours the milk into the cup.
"Oh, welcome home Rizuki-kun."
"Was that a customer?"
"Yeah, she asked me if I could fix her radio...even though this is a ring shop."
"Nothing's ever easy for you. Maybe because the name of this shop is 'Workshop of the Rings' the people were confused. Not to mention, you seems to be an expert about fixing stuff. "
"Maybe you're right... I think I'll change this shop. Maybe later...Rizuki-kun could you help me."
"Sure, Uncle." Rizuki said and he help his uncle and began his work.
The next day because it's Sunday and no school Rizuki decided to began his investigation. As he wanders around the town he was stopped by a man, his face covered behind a black hood.
"Congratulations."
"Huh?"
"According this book, today will be a very special day for you." The man say to Rizuki while he opening his book, the title of that book, Rizuki noticed, is 'Novus Lemegeton'.
"Your path forward will open and you shall awaken your power."
"Okay..."
"But you should beware of a Devil in human skin." He warns him, the moment later Rizuki felt the pain in his middle finger, causing him to close his eyes briefly. After the pain is gone, in the few seconds he closed his eyes, the hooded man has already disappeared.
'Where did he go?'
"Rizuki?"
As someone called his name, he turned around and see Sella behind him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Well, I was just walking around town. How about you?"
"I want hang out with my friends and since they not yet come, wanna hang out with for a bit?"
Rizuki want to start his investigation but he can't allow his friend come with him and even if he do that now, he can tell that Sella will follow him. Not to mention he'd look suspicious if he were to deny a simple request. So the best choice he can make is to accept her invitation.
As they walk around the town he felt people staring at them, but he tried to ignore that. They were doing shop window, buying ice cream, playing at game center etc. It should've been obvious to him, he's not an idiot, but he did it while half of his brain was still thinking about the investigation he should be doing right now. So he realized, a bit too late…
'Wait a minute...'
When he think about it, doesn't it look like a date!? He shook his head. There's no way this is a date. This is just hanging out with a friend. Yeah, that's it!
Rizuki glance at Sella as she holds her phone and types a message, maybe to her friend. Few seconds later she receives a reply, he was shocked that it was so fast! To reply as fast as that… well, maybe that's just a girl thing that he doesn't really understand.
Rizuki noticed that Sella's expression changed for a second, as she put her phone into her bag.
"Sorry, Rizuki. I have to meet my friend somewhere."
"Don't worry about it. In fact, I felt bad wasting your time with me."
"Don't say that!" She smiled. "I had fun hanging out with you...I hope we can do that again."
"Sure."
"Then see you later at school." Sella said as she began walking, but she stopped for a moment.
"Oh, and Rizuki."
"Yeah?"
"Please go to your home immediately... for your own safety."
Rizuki was shocked for a moment, her tone seems different than her usual tone. Then, as if it was nothing important, she smiled at him while waving her hand and she walks away, leaving him behind.
With that over, he starts his delayed investigation but he tried not to look too suspicious. He walks around the town, hearing gossips from people around him, and when he went to the place where the missing people were, supposedly, last seen, but he had no luck here. Nothing.
He's been doing that all day and he didn't realize it's already late.
'Crap, I have to go home now...uncle must be worried.'
Then he saw a girl running into him.
"PLEASE HELP ME!"
"Whoa! What's wrong?"
"There's no time, please help me!"
With no second thought, Rizuki decide to help her.
"Okay, I'll help you. Can you tell me the situation?"
"Me and my friend were just hanging out like usual, but someone or something took them away! I was so scared, so I… I thought I'd ask for your help. "
"Okay. Can you lead the way where you friends were kidnapped?"
"Sure."
Rizuki and the girl went to abandoned warehouse, the girl said that she saw her friend being kidnapped and carried away to this warehouse. Meanwhile Rizuki felt something wrong, and when he think about it, why she did not ask help to the police, instead of him. But he agreed to help her is because it's the right thing to do. Even so, for a King in the future like him!
When they enter the warehouse the atmosphere began to change and for some reason he felt an awful chill on his back, like a ghost just passed through him. Then he saw people come out from nowhere and he's being surrounded.
"What...are...they?"
He glance behind him, and the girl who's with him began to transform herself. The upper part of her body was still human but the lower part was something like a snake… a giant snake.
"Well, well. Looks like you bought something special tonight. He seems different than any humans you bought before."
"Yeah I know, the moment I saw him he felt different."
"He smells good. I wonder how he'd taste."
Rizuki can't move his body, even if he could he doesn't know how can he get out of here in one piece.
Suddenly, a white flash of light blinded them all. Then shrieks of pain from around him!
Someone is attacking them, and as the light dispersed and he can see again, he saw that he was being save by the man in the hood and that man brought him to a safe place but still nearby the warehouse.
"Thank you for saving me. By the way weren't you the guy I meet before?" Rizuki said.
"Yes, sorry for not introducing myself. You can call me Loz. And don't worry I'm on your side. According this book, the true heir of His power is the one who have the will of being a King." Then Loz removed his hood, he is a handsome man who have black curly hair and black eyes that looks deeper than night itself, he looks just few years older than Rizuki.
"King? You mean me?"
Before Loz could answer him, Rizuki saw a familiar face from distance and that person is none other than Sella.
"Sella!"
Rizuki tried to help her but he was stopped by Loz.
"I suggest that you don't do anything."
"But, she is my friend!"
"Could you say that after you look at her?"
Rizuki confused what Loz said, but suddenly Sella have a pair bat wings on her back and she fighting the group of monsters that surrounded him before.
"Your friend… is a Devil."
"Devil?"
"Yes Devil, and the ones surrounding you before is the same but, they are [Strays]. Don't you see... human and Devil may or may not coexist. They are natural enemy of humans, but they can also beneficial for humans, you see. Still, they are dangerous and can't really be trusted..."
Rizuki shocked with the information with this, his only friend is Devil to begin with. It was crazy, and it was real… but the thought that he can't help his friend even if she is a Devil reminds him of his dream. His dream, to be a King…
"What would you do now?"
And a King would never abandon his friend. Not only that, she is the kindest person he ever met besides his uncle. There is no way he can abandon her in her time of need.
"Even if she a Devil, that doesn't change the fact that she's my friend. How can I be a King if I left my friend to die?!" Rizuki said, he picked up a pipe and began to run to help his friend.
Loz, who look at him charging forward, just smiled.
"Yes, yes… that will do."
Sella is now fighting some Stray Devils, according her information they are the cause of the missing people. She came here because when she already meeting her friend, which are also the same as her, and to collect more information, she saw Rizuki with the girl but she knew the girl was a [Stray].
She was then worried about Rizuki and came here alone and that is very stupid one for her to not realize that this warehouse was their nest. And now she was being surrounded, if not so many she's confident she still can fight them off but with the 15 of stray Devil against her alone…
She might not be able to fight back.
When one of her want to attack her someone throw a pipe into the stray Devil, Sella looked to the one who threw it and saw her friend...Rizuki Narukami.
"Stay away from her!" He shouted.
"Rizuki! What are you doing here?!" Sella can't help but to shout as well. "Get out of here!"
"And leaving you behind? No way!"
The stray looked at him.
"Look who's back! Do you really think you can save her!?" Spoke one Stray.
"Forget about that! I will kill you because you dare to attack me human!" Roared another Stray.
"Leave now, Rizuki! I can handle them."
"I don't want to leave you! How can I be a King if I abandoned my friend!"
When Rizuki say that, the strays looked at him again and began to laugh uproariously at him.
"BWAHAHAHA! This human is the biggest idiot, he wants to become a King he said!?"
"No human can rule over us, mortal!"
"We are superior than your kind, and that fact will stay that way forever!"
"Humans are not fit to be the ruler of this world!"
Belligerent and mocking statements are thrown at him, by the otherworldly monsters that declared themselves superior than humans. Looking at them, one part of Rizuki's mind reluctantly agrees with them… but that bit of self-preserving logic was overridden by his-
"Rizuki, I understand, but there's no time for-"
"You talk nonsense, human!" One Stray viciously spat.
"It's not a nonsense, I want to be a King!" Rizuki proclaim.
-His dream.
"I want to make the world a better place and I want to make people happy! When I think like that, the only choice is to become a King!" Rizuki said. "I want to be a King… I WILL be a King!"
"Then die with your stupid dream!" one stray shouts as he shoots a beam of demonic magical energy to attack Rizuki.
Sella wanted to protect Rizuki but she was being hindered and distracted by the other strays and she doesn't have any time nor chance to save him. It's too late for him.
Rizuki closed his eyes while his hand was outstretched on the front of his face.
Suddenly a golden ring appeared in his right hand and the ring gave off a holy aura. In front of Rizuki's hand, has appeared a bright, white magical circle that protected him from the demonic energy attack, rendering the attack useless.
When Rizuki opened his eyes, he looks at the ring on his finger and wonders how the ring just suddenly and magically appeared on his finger.
The strays and Sella began to shiver because of holy aura. Sella, particularly, can tell how powerful it is, and she's not even near him.
'S—Sacred Gear?! It's… it's so immense…!'
Then, out of nowhere, Loz came to Rizuki's side, shocking everyone present when he came. Loz gave a look at the golden ring and knew that ring really well. Now, he knows his choice was right.
"Signet of Solomon! I knew you have it." Loz said, surprising and confusing Rizuki at how Loz knew the ring and when he arrived at his side.
'Signet of Solomon!? Then that means-' Sella thought.
"Oi, Loz you knew about this?"
"It's the proof of King! Then it's only one thing I can do!" Loz said as he take out of the book from nowhere.
"Rejoice!" Loz exclaims as he opens his book.
"He is the heir to the power of Solomon. The King of Human, who can contract with and control all Devil... his name is Rizuki Narukami, and you have born witness to the dawn of his advent." Loz introduces and closing his book.
The strays and Sella were shocked when Loz said Solomon, especially Sella, while Rizuki felt the immense power from the ring coursing through his body.
"I think... I can do this!" Rizuki said as he began his counterattack.
