Theme(s): Action, Adventure, Horror, Gore, and Comedy
Synopsis: Thirty years from now to the future, the Biblical apocalypse began. But years before its end and after the plagues, 7 humans were chosen and instructed by Christ himself to spread his word to the corrupt societies. Those societies, being controlled by demons and Dark Phoenixes (who are possessed or manipulated humans). These seven elite warriors God has entrusted are called The Seven Heavenly Virtues, 7 humans with special abilities (which not only they have) given to them by God to fight off and protect his people, as well as help rebuild societies. The Virtues (as well as some of God's followers), are given an ability known as Faith Aura, not just to make their own powers for protecting themselves, but others as well. With every adventure the Virtues take requires them to find all of the seven keys spread around Europe before any of them falls in the wrong hands.They must face demons, people, and even some governments if required. And once every key is collected, they must head to the holy city and find a book to open up, with both the book and each key, containing one wish. Making it up to these warriors to arrive at Jerusalem before the Armageddon starts.
Important Notes: In this Book, characters when introduced would be introduced in their full name. For example, our main Character's full name is Dimitar Kaiser. When introduced to the story his first dialogue would have his full name. After that, his following dialogues would be with his first name (in this case Dimitar). With some characters it will be the opposite. For example, Alexander Mertens (another main character) will be introduced with his full name. However after his first dialogue, the character's name will be shown as Mertens (which is Alexander's last name). This depends on both the character's name and last name, or how other characters call them. Right before the first chapter there's a section with the Virtues appearances and typical clothing.
Power Systems/Faith Aura And Witchcraft : For humans (only the Christian ones) will have a special hidden ability called Faith Aura. This allows them to use special powers (each unique to them) and depending on how close they are to God ,the stronger their abilities become. The only downside to Faith Aura is that while its user can heal himself/herself, they can't heal anyone with it unless they use their normal faith (in other words praying). As the story progresses, you (the reader) will learn how this power system works in more detail. Meanwhile, witchcraft is the demon's ability which doesn't require anything and only demons can use.
Story Format: This Story's format or style is simple, the story is divided in 16 arcs which includes 10 books. Each book contains 1 or 2 arcs (mostly two arcs) and each episode/chapter in each arc is 5 to 10 pages long, (depending on the chapter) as a way to make the reader more engaged and less frustrated or disinterested. Each arc involves different yet somewhat related themes in the story. One last thing, depending on the character's age, personality, background, etc., it will affect how they speak or interact with other characters. For example, a character who's 17 or 23 years old will not act or speak as formally as an older character as a way of making the story more fun, comedic, and realistic. With that being said, enjoy this wild yet fun story.

Arc 1: First Reunion Arc
Chapter 1: Town Duel and New Horizons
Our Journey begins with Dimitar and Pandev walking through the woods. Dimitar, the younger cousin of the two, decides to go the right path. While Pandev, being the older one, wanted to go the opposite way which was the left path. The two of them began to argue.
Dimitar Kaiser: "Dude, let's go this way! It's literally where we're supposed to go!" (he said, not really sure about it either as he adjusted his white hair) "Or so I think…"
Hristo Pandev:(Scoffs) "Last time I listened to you, we got lost until sunset" (he said with a narrow look) "So let's go this way, if it doesn't work we go the other way" (points left).
Dimitar:(He sighs) "Alright, you better be right though. After all, we have a mission to fulfill…" (focusing on the task ahead).
Pandev: "Like if I'm gonna be wrong or something." (he smirked with confidence).
They head to the town of Dimitrogard, where there were rumors of Dark Phoenix using slaves as well as making a harem (that being one of many reasons for them to deal with this situation).
Inside the city's harem…
Guard: "Sir, we have intruders nearby!" (said the guard while he vowed down).
Craig Hummels: "Huh, intruders you say?" (he asked, clearly annoyed that his "fun" was interrupted).
Guard: "Y-yes sir, one of them seems to be a k-kid with blue hair with a scar." (he responded, stuttering as he answered).
Craig:(With a more serious expression) "And the other one?" (he quizzed the guard, his patience running thin).
Guard: "The other one well…Uhm." (feeling somewhat hesitant out of fear).
The Dark Phoenix began to lose his cool, his body began to exude demonic aura from the anger.
Craig:(Sighs with desperation) "Well!? Answer me you donkey!" (he yelled, his tone filled with anger).
Guard: "The second one is a k-kid, a white-haired kid." (he answered).
Craig:(Punches the guard into a wall, smashing his head in the process) "Tch, that's for ruining my fun with the lady, you fool. As for the intruders, I'll be the one taking care of them…" (he grinned, his face full of malice).
A few minutes later the two cousins decided to split up, as a way to cover more ground and speed up the mission. With Dimitar heading to the front of the main entrance of the harem. However, he found a tall man with scars and a black shirt standing in front of him.
Craig:(With a sinister smile) "Huh, What do we have here?" (he uttered to himself as he looked at Dimitar).
The tension begins to build up as they stare at each other not taking their focus off either. With both of them ready to act in case of any suspicious or sudden movement.
Dimitar: [ "Found it…And it seems like I didn't just get here first, but also they knew I was coming." ] "Huh?" [ "And you are?" ] (he thought suspiciously, trying to keep his guard on).
Craig:(Smirks slightly, already knowing who Dimitar is) "Heh, good morning kid, welcome to my harem. How can I assist you kid, are you lost?" (he quizzed confidently).
Dimitar:(Scoffs back) "Assist me? Well first, I'm not a kid and second, you can help me by freeing those women. And last but not least, by dying! " (unsheathes short-sword and slashes at Craig).
Craig:(Blocks the attack as he gets pushed back by the impact) "I see…In that case, you must be one of them, am I right?" (he hissed, boiling with anger).
Dimitar:(Kicks him and jumps back) "You got it scum, now get ready, cuz I won't hold back!" (he warned Craig, getting serious).
Craig: "Hah, do your best kid, but don't cry when it's too late!" (with a malicious grin as he gets serious at the fight).
Dimitar:(Concentrating as he activates his willpower ability, which allows him to get stronger as he pushes his limits on making new techniques) "Divine Slasher!" (uses his attack to turn his blade red, slashing multiple times at Craig as he tries to go for the kill).
Craig:(Scoffs as he uses witchcraft to regenerate) "Tch, you're barely decent at best. Now I'll make you suffer!"
Meanwhile with Pandev, who managed to sneak inside to free the women who were inside prison cells with their clothes all torn off from the abuse they had received for a long time.
Pandev:(Looks down at the guards he knocks) "Alright ladies, hurry up before they wake up, not that they are hard to deal with or anything." (he commented proudly as he watched the women escape through the back door) "Time to help the genius I guess…" (referring to his cousin).
Just as Pandev was about to leave the place, he heard a voice shouting at him furiously. Forcing him to turn around to a girl. Who was alone in a cage separated from the other cages.
Millie Jennings:(Still locked up in one of the cells) "Hey you dumbass!" (she hissed aggressively, obviously annoyed) "Help me out won't you?"
Pandev:(Genuinely confused) "Huh? Where did you come from?" (he asked, a bit oblivious towards the girl).
Millie:(Pissed off) "The hell you mean where I came from you piece of-" (begins to blabber uncontrollably).
A few minutes later...
Pandev:(Sighs with frustration) "Shit, you're a difficult one I bet." (he mumbled, complaining about the situation he's gotten into).
Millie:(Overhears him) "What was that!?" (she shouts at him).
Pandev: "Uhm...Never-mind, here you go anyways." (breaks the cell door) "Happy now?" (he asked, mocking Millie as if to tease her).
As the cell door is broken, Millie exits the cell and stands in front of Pandev. With a grateful yet reluctant face, she thanks her liberator.
Millie:(Scoffs and walks out of the broken cell) "This is better, Thanks dude." (smirks at Pandev).
Pandev:(Chuckles) "Heh, no problem just leave before you get hurt. You wouldn't want to get caught in between the fighting going on outside." (he added, leaving the building).
Back with Dimitar who's fighting a tough battle, as he blocks the heavy-weight attacks as he possibly can using his blade.
Dimitar:(Panting slightly) "Ahh…Ahh…Dammit, seems like I've got no other option then…" (he groaned as he though about a strategy).
Craig:(Rushes at him, about to make a critical blow) "Aghh, die kid!"
Dimitar:(Dodges in time barely surviving the punch) "Skin Cracker!" (spins in the air to dodge and after he stops spinning, he uses his sword to slash at Craig, successfully landing an attack).
Craig:(Screams in pain) "Agghh, Damn you Virtue-" (quickly realizes that after the attack, his skin got cracked from an electric shock) "Aghh!! W-what's this!? What did you do to me!?" (shouts at Dimitar, growling in pain as he tried to hit him).
Dimitar:(Smirks) "Heh, I won't tell you anything bastard." (he answered jokingly, chuckling a bit as he dodged).
With perfect timing, Pandev arrived at the battle ground. His expression was a mix of surprise and laughter as he thought his cousin was having a hard time against a not so powerful opponent.
Pandev:(Chuckles) "Huh? You still haven't killed him?" (he asked his cousin, who was playing with his food).
Dimitar:(Jumps back to dodge and attacks and lands on his legs after making some distance with his opponent) "Oh, it's just you Hristo. Phew!" (he sighed at his cousin, calling him by his first name).
Pandev:(Raises an eyebrow, feigning an offense) "Huh? What do You mean it's just me?"
Dimitar: (Chuckles back as he made distance with his opponent) "Sorry about that, I'm just in a pickle at the moment." (concentrating on the fight as he turns to Craig to continue their duel).
Pandev:(Takes out his nunchucks) "Let's end this game shall we?" (he responded with a smirk on his face).
Craig:(Extremely Irritated) "Who the fuck!?-" (before he can say anything else, Craig gets sent flying into his harem destroying it as the building begins to collapse) "Shit…" (he sees Millie, who still hasn't escaped, without hesitation he grabs her as a hostage) "Move and she's dead…!" (He panted, running out of options).
The two cousins stared at the Dark Phoenix. As they got ready for action, Craig continued to threaten Millie's life but the other two didn't listen.
Millie:(Struggling to break free) "Ugh! Let go!" (Struggling to break free) "Agh, Leave me alone you creep!!" (she shouts in disgust, trying to break free).
Craig: "Shut up before I kill you in front of them!! You're my property anyways, girl." (he yelled, though the words were mostly shallow from the fear).
Pandev: "Go ahead anyways, not my business from my side." (says Pandev indifferently).
Craig:(Scoffs as he tries to hide his frustration) "Fine, then I'll just kill her-" (gets caught off-guard by Dimitar, getting punched in the guts) "Aghh!..." (vomiting some blood from the potent attack).
Dimitar:(Fully livid) "You coward…Using someone as a bait for your own survival." (he hissed) "You pathetic shit…" (he said while swinging his blade at him, sending him flying into a wall before catching Millie) "You good?" (he quizzed, as he put her down and returned to the fight).
Millie:(Surprised by Dimitar's strength) "Yeah you idiot, I didn't need your help anyways." (she scoffed) "And let me guess, you must be traveling with-" (before she can continue, Dimitar focuses back on his fight as he flash-steps to where Craig is) "Did he just…Ignore me!?" (she hissed with anger, but fails miserably).
Back to the Duel…
Dimitar:(Looks at his cousin who's still pressing on the topic) "Let's end this Hristo, the faster the better."
Pandev:(Sighs with relief) "Finally, it took you long enough to say it. Alright then, get ready!"
Suddenly Craig stands up from the rubble of the destroyed harem, and way more livid. Seeing his property destroyed was the last stray. Now he vowed to kill the Virtues as he kicked the rubble at them, which they childishly dodged.
Craig:(Wipes the blood from his lips) "I've had enough Virtues, you'll all die right here, right now!" (curses under his breath as he uses all his witchcraft abilities into one attack) " Breaker Comet!" (makes his iron-fist gauntlet spin like a drill as he shoots it at his opponent).
Dimitar:(In his fighting stance) "Now Hristo!" (he shouts, ready to end this gruesome encounter).
Pandev:(In his own element) "Alright, here you go, Hummels!" (he responded with a smug face).
Dimitar & Pandev:(They then shouted) "Combine Ultimate, Divine Dragon Slayer Longinus!" (Dimitar launches his blade at Craig, while Pandev uses his nunchucks to grab the blade. As he spins it around, he then shoots it at Craig at full speed creating a Dragon made out of pure Faith Aura, which consumes Craig and kills him).
The smoke then begins to clear as Dimitar picks up his sword and sheaths it back into its scabbard. Once everything calms down, the three of them finally get to enjoy a small yet crucial conversation.
Millie: "You two are Virtues as well!?" (hesitantly reveals her fish tattoo on her shoulder).
Dimitar:(Shocked by the revelation) "No way…We found one of us so fast, nice." (with a content smile).
Pandev:(Also shocked but for a different reason) "And of all people to be honest…" (with a sarcastic tone).
Millie: "The hell do you mean of all people you shit bag you-" (she began to blabber out stuff to Pandev).
Dimitar: "Well then, one found and four to go…" (he added, looking at both Pandev and Millie thinking about their journey ahead).
The first mission was now completed and it marked the beginning of a journey which would affect fate itself.
