Chapter 1. Onboard a galactic stealth ship

Onboard a galactic stealth ship that was the size of a small planet, an angry voice could be heard.

“Do you know what you’re doing!? Don’t think that just because we’re immortals does not mean we are omniscient or omnipotent. We aren’t even sure about what’s beyond our current universe, as our boss you cannot just go down to the mortal worlds and fool around at this time! I forbid it!”

A bewitching melodious voice filled with anger and annoyance hidden behind a simple white mask leaving only her penetrating red eyes, she was dressed in a one-piece full-bodied black wardrobe with cascading black hair trickling down behind the mask.

“Relax, relax I’ll just be down there for a couple of years while we wait for the entryway into the other universes to connect.” A man with the same simple white mask already undressing his similar attire in exchange for a woven robe replied with a lazy and careless tone of voice.

“Yo-you-you-you-you-you… ugh! You do know the consequences of going down to the lower planes and fool around within the mortal worlds, right?! Because if I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hundred times! Your powers get restricted! Going down there means you can die! and if you die our universe will be without their King!”

“Didn’t I tell you to call me Boss? How can I be king without a queen, I don’t want to be king, you do it, anyways I’ll see you in a few years! Ciao!”

Sealing his cultivation to upmost tier of what the mortal world allows he starts his gradual descent onto a mortal planet of his choice. Or so he thought, as he started plummeting straight downward followed by being spun around by other planets’ gravitational pull seemingly expressing their distaste of him before eventually throwing him into a wormhole like that of a galactic game of pinball. “Woah woah woah save me!! Ahhh!”

“… you’re supposed to seal your cultivation only when directly above the planet…” The woman shook her head placing her palm to her forehead. She then peered through the hole between her fingers looking at the army of soldiers or more likely delinquent task force of rabble rousers that causes more problems than they fix left behind by her boss.

“Boss!”

“King!”

The soldiers below stood in attention and saluted as if their acceptance of the woman as their new leader was rehearsed hundreds of times before with no signs of delay between their acceptances.

“Where did Boss go this time, your majesty?” A towering bald immortal with a big gentlemanly moustache and a physique that is comparable to a bear glanced at the wormhole stated the question that was on everyone’s mind.

“He went to visit the mortal worlds” She said with a hint of annoyance.

“Oh, well looks like you’re the king for a few more years again” everyone unanimously nodded their head in admission to this fact.

An irritated sigh could be heard as she turned around making her way towards her room. “Enough, get to work, I’m going to take a nap.”

BOOM! A shattering force of a human being fell from the sky like an angel sent from heaven… without any of the grace imagined.

“…Holy shit where the fuck am I this time?” The man staring at the light blue sky flat on his back as the wispy clouds flow on by. “I can’t believe I just did that… ow ow ow what the heck? I’m hurt?

This. Is. Wonderful!

I haven’t felt pain in so long!”

“I wonder if I can even get up right now, hmm… yep, I’m stuck. Ohoho I am so badly damaged right now ahaha—owwwww” Stuck in the human-shaped indentation on the ground he had no idea when he’ll recover enough energy to move his body out of the ground. The sheer force of plummeting onto and into the ground on his back; while didn’t completely outright kill him disintegrating his body into particles, wrecked any plans for exploration to be at a standstill until help arrives.

“Shelly, did you just see that? A shooting star! It landed nearby let’s go find it and make a wish”. A little lad around the age of 10 trying to convince his equally aged female companion to join him towards the direction where ‘Boss’ had just fallen. The boy had a bright smile with scruffy silver hair and pale green eyes. He was adorned in a clean blue attire with an emblem of snowflake that exuded that of a wealthy family.

“I don’t think we should Arthur, the area of where it landed within the church’s territory. Said Shelly a young girl of similar height with a calmer demeanor. She has pure white hair down to her shoulder and blue eyes. Her attire is similar to his bearing the same emblem.

“But, no one is there besides the Pope right now, right?”

“Michael is there, after Julie’s disappearance a 2 years ago he’s been going to church every day, eventually becoming a member himself, he’ll probably volunteer to get on the good grace of the Pope.”

“I freakin’ hate Michael he’s always trying to pick a fight with me whenever we meet”

“Are you sure, you’re not the one trying to pick a fight with him?”

“Yes of course I’m sure, he’s the one that makes eye contact with me first when I’m staring at him, he’s the one that tries to hit me after I provoke him, he’s the one who—”

“Enough. We’re going home, you should respect your elder, Michael is 10 years older than you, you know.” replied Shelly stopping her male companion before he goes on for hours giving dumbass excuses.

“But, but—”

“No buts, I don’t want to have to inform your dad you’re making trouble with Michael again.”

“Your Holiness, it seems a meteorite or object has fallen within our boundaries, shall I investigate?” said a young man in his twenties with light brown hair and brown eyes adorned in a yellow and white priest attire.

“No need Michael, if it’s just a rock that has fallen from the sky it is not what our Seer has prophesied” said the Pope sitting on his throne. A youthful looking bald old man in his 70s yet looks only to be in his late 50s with white eyes, possibly blinded or actual eye color only he knows. He is entirely dressed in white from top to bottom with a silver cane in one hand and a golden scepter in the other.

“Besides, she’ll let us know when the Apostles will arrive and make believers the Chosen of God. However, do go inform the her about what had fallen and see.”

“Yes, your Holiness” replied Michael as he advances towards the direction of where the Seer is located. Through hallways and doors, upstairs and downstairs, the size of the church is like that of a massive maze where if one did not know where to go, they could potentially get lost for days.

After nearly an hour of nonstop walking twist and turns he finally arrived at the edge of the church.

“You may enter Michael; I’ve been expecting you” said the Seer as Michael approached the door and unraveling the chains around its handle. A girl in her late teens to early twenties came into view. She had curly blonde hair down to her waist and bright hazel eyes adorned in a plain church robe as she looked out through the barred windows of her room.

“You’ve come to inform me about what it is that has fallen from the sky, yes?” Never once turning her head around to greet the person who came.

“Yes Seer, we wondered whether or not the Apostles have arrived early.” Michael said with a straight face without a hint of annoyance at her demeanor.

“What had fell from the sky is definitely not the Apostles that the church has been expecting, they’ll arrive years from now when the landscape changes and the energy within the planet becomes abundant.”

“I’ll immediately inform his Holiness that it is insignificant” replied Michael as he exited slowly and unwillingly locking the chains back up around the handle.

Murmuring to himself as he walks towards the distance “Julie, don’t worry I’ll find a way to get you out of here eventually.”

Turning her head around and eventually looking towards the door as if she can see through it, the Seer too murmurs in reply as tears begin to shed between her eyes “…I’m sorry…Michael”

Eventually, she wiped away the tears on her face and turned her head towards the direction of where ‘Boss’ had landed. Her eyes still wet with tears looked up at the dull blue sky behind the window bars as dark grey clouds slowly approach and sighed.

While she doesn’t know exactly what ‘Boss’ was with her abilities she can tell that whatever it was it was neither the prophecy that she foresaw nor was he clearly a meteorite.

Walking hurried steps back to the enormous castle of a church with more clarity on his mind he forgot to ask what exactly was it that fell from the sky? However, ignoring the question in his mind as he returned to the Pope.

“Your Holiness the Apostles are not what fell from the sky” Michael said with one knee bent on the ground.

“Thank you, Michael, you may leave” The Pope lifted his arm allowing for Michael to stand back up and make his way towards the exit.

Using his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding area to peek at the nearest inhabitants ‘Boss’ saw the exchanges between Shelly and Arthur along with what occurred within the church.

“Ohoho, the people around me are all kinds of sketchy I have no idea what they’re saying at all but, from what I’m seeing there’s definitely something stinky going on here. Nope never mind, that’s just me. Someone, help me, Save me! Come here please!”

However, his silent screams for help received no response as nightfall lands and rain starts to fall.

Arthur and Shelly returned home for the night.

“Welcome back home young master, how was your day outside today?” The head butler of the household asked. He is a young-looking man around the age of 20 adorned in the stereotypical butler garb, with only the emblem of the White Snowflake on his chest that represents his family’s identity. He has dark red hair and cyan colored eyes. While he may look young to be in position as head butler of the household at the age of 20, there were no signs of dissent among the servants.

“Same as usual Benjamin, Shelly and I were just taking a leisure stroll as I need some fresh air from time to time.” Arthur replied pretending to behave like a young master.

“Shall I go prepare you a bath before dinner?” Benjamin asked.

“You may” Arthur replied with his arm wrapped around his back.

“I’ll go prepare it now” Benjamin replied as he vanished from the spot.

After refreshing up from the bath, Arthur and Shelly arrived at the dinner table for their meal. While Shelly was taking her time eating the food, a certain young master was eating a lot faster.

“Arthur, slow down there’s plenty of food to eat you don’t have to rush, why’re you eating so fast?” a concern look can be seen from a beautiful woman with silver hair and mesmerizing blue eyes.

“Don’t worry, he’s a growing boy and furthermore he’s a Galafray the most well-known warriors and mightiest heroes always at the frontline for any situation boasting records number of kills per person, ahaha!” His father Samuel Galafray, a man nearly two meters in height and physique of a war veteran with blonde hair and green eyes enthused.

“More like idiots who don’t know what fear is, do you know how severely injured you guys are when you come back? I’m surprised none of you guys died in the war.” She said berating him.

“When I think back to it and recalling our neighbors and their families receiving a visit from military official stating that their father, husband, brother, or son died and the look of devastation and grief on their face as screams and tears flow uncontrollably from their eyes and mine too because I cried for them because I’m thinking of you.” She continued as her eyes began to water.

“I worry Samuel, I do, every night I prayed that you’ll return home to me, to us, so that we can be whole again. The only thing keeping me hopeful was the mail I’d receive at the end of each month of you telling me that you’re fine. How Jacob and Dylan are making sure you wouldn’t do anything stupid.” A sniff could be heard as she tried to hold her tears in.

Sigh

“My Angel, we don’t have to worry anymore the war was over two years ago, and we came back home fine, a little beaten up and some bandages, but we’re fine you don’t have to worry, I won’t be going back to the frontline anymore. I’ll stay home with you, grow old with you, and take care of our son, alright?” replied Samuel as he warmly embraces her.

Finishing his dinner and listening to the same thing between his mom and dad for practically anytime war was mentioned since it ended. Arthur slowly went into his room to sleep.

Or so that’s what he wants his parents to believe.

Back at the dinner table…

“Shelly why is Arthur acting so strange today?” asked Arthur’s mother.

“Young master Arthur saw a shooting star land nearby within the territory of the church and is most likely wishing to have a look at it either tonight or before sunrise.” Shelly replied exposing Arthur’s plan.

“Outside tonight?” Angel Galafray glances out the window noticing the dark rainclouds arriving from over the horizon. “Shelly if he tries to sneak out tonight try to stop him, alright?”

“Yes Mrs. Galafray, I’ll try to stop him” Shelly replied.

Finishing her plate Shelly also got up leaving Mr. and Mrs. Galafray at the table, as she was heading to her room for the night, she heard Mr. Galafray calling her name from back at the dinner table.

“Oh Shelly~ Benjamin will leave an umbrella by your door.” Samuel Galafray’s voice could be heard as Shelly made her way out of the dining room.

A small smile appeared on her face, as she headed into her room to ‘sleep’.

Hours passed by and within Arthur’s bedroom he crept his head out of the covers of his blanket, trying to hear for his dad’s snores.

Snore Snore

Hearing Samuel’s loud snores indicating that they are asleep, Arthur’s eyes slowly got adjusted to the dark.
