According to the early records of the Office of Supernatural Defense. The organization was brought up by an "Angel" which was latter named as the "First General". The First General had originally given a tasked to guard and close the Gates of Hell that was open in that time. Because of the things that caught up with the First General, he had been given a new tasked to let humans kept guard the Gates. In order to suffice the given task, he adopted three children while adventuring thoughout the world. He taught what things he needed to teach them and left them afterwards.
The three children, now three young men continued the tasked that was left to them. The succession of the people who will continue the tasked remain unbroken. They witness the two Covenants to start. They also converse with the prophets until the last one. They had witness the very sacrifice and the salvation of mankind. They knew that the real war between humanity and evil was just getting started.
Upon the freedom of practice of Christianity, the urge to be in communion with the Catholic Church secretly because the world wasn't ready for them to be known. They certainly emerge after a century or two to observe afterward they dissapear again. Throughout the two millennia, they still remain unchange and unmoving.
Based on the records over 200 years ago, when the humanity was started to fall upon the power of the Supernaturals, they were the first one to declare a war and could fight equally. A war against the Supernatural, a war not to let humanity to be opperessed. In the letters of the 762th General of Defense and Strategic Action, General Seals, it was suppose a defeat not a triumph. They lose because they can't fight for what was the right thing to do during that years.

The Tower Must Fall - Combat Gardener
If you're interested in a conceptual, ground-up rewrite leave a comment and tell me what you loved about it. I've got a pretty good idea of what everyone hated so there's no need for expounding on that. Gardener? A support class? This can't be! What was all my hard work for? Forget this world. Forget the System. Even if I'm a lowly support class, I'll take on the Tower and take them all down! Since the System appeared one hundred years ago, humanity has been divided into three: combat classes, intellectual classes, and support classes. Assigned at the moment of high school graduation, one's class determines their future. Rowan wanted the most out of life. A combat class, an intellectual class, either would be fine. When he is instead assigned a support class, Gardener, he notices the System is completely rigged against support classes. Refusing to give up on his dream of realizing his future by his own terms, Rowan challenges the Tower, the seat of the System and home of the Hero-King, in hopes of bringing the entire System to its knees. Season One complete. Permanent Hiatus, Pending Rewrite. Important notes: -LitRPG fantasy -Rowan is not perfect. He's got flaws, emotions, and personal issues to work through. If you want a perfect, overpowered MC who makes the right decision every time, this is NOT the work for you. -This story opens with a negative situation and an emotional growth arc for the main character. Please don't review until chapter 30 because the arc is not complete until that chapter. (Chapters are short, that's an average RR book's chapter 10) -No harem, no rape, no isekai, no romance -Questions? Please ask!

A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again.

Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child.

CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.
