It was Darkness

[ Important Notice ] ---- This is my first time writing a story. I don't have any experience in any of these fields so if you're a professional reader or what can I say.. You can skip it. But if you want a story with interesting lore and world building exploration along with deep written characters as I'm trying. This is will be enough to catch your gaze. I'm continuously trying to improve and working diligently with my execution. ---- Ender Levin ( the protagonist ) is a young man who was continuously having dreams and nightmares of the unknown. Dead cities with lifeless bodies everywhere like ants and blood and zon were scattered over them. But what is this zon?. Who knows?.. He and his cousin; best friend Zack. D. Roy ( the deuteragonist ) were running from a group of anonymous people but in the end they were getting killed by them. In the end before dying he saw his own sister stabbing him. It wasn't the first time he had these dreams, it has been a while since he started getting these and now they're getting intense. These dreams quite seems to have some connection with his deceased younger sister, Marine Levin.. Frustrated, Ender wanted to find the meaning of these dreams as one night he goes on a vacation with his best friend Zack and others, there he met a strange man who was glaring at him, then that man takes him to a werid place, there he performs some chants as a werid red-black energy splited from Ender's mouth, which was contained by the man in the small bottle. Then as the man about to leave as he had done his work, as Ender shouted at him and asked him. "What is the meaning of this?." "Who are you?." So many questions were lingering on his head as the man takes to the void of space itself and started telling him the lore. Shocked to knew the mysteries of his world. Ender and his friends first became Astrans. But what is this Astran?. It was quite challenging as they all have to face their deepest guilts, regrets and convince their soul and unconscious mind, so that they can become an Astran. Then they all to a higher dimensional world. Raiheart... There they meet their cult, and their agency Peace Order. Then from now there journey starts, now they have to face constant threats and challenges, at the same time, uncovering the mysteries of this world, at the same time.. Themselves. But mysteries always come with madness. It's a choice in the end... ---- [ Note: All the chapters till 38 are just prologue/ introduction of the story. ] [ Ruis Forst: the tritagonist. ]
