Chapter 1: The False King
A man stands in the middle of a battlefield- friends to his left foes to his right. Bruises- cuts, and hacks all over his body- this man has seen the unspeakable- yet continues to pursue he's ideals regardless of such misfortunes. When a man loses everything that makes him a man but gains something that he never had as a man. What then does he become?
As the little boy pondered on about what might be the answer to this philosophical question, the older gentleman watched as the little boy drew blanks to his question.
The older gentleman began to smile and then laughed at the blissfulness of the little boy.
Hey- what's so funny huh? This question isn't exactly easy to answer ya know.
The older gentleman's laughter slowly came to a halt as he looked at the boy with a look of nostalgia.
The answer to that question has been sought out by every living being on this to ever come into existence on this planet. At least until i discovered the answer to it.
The little boy flared up with interest as he asked the gentleman to tell him the answer to this question- to which the old gentleman agreed to do, but only after telling the tale that gave the old gentleman the answer to said question.

In this world existed a kingdom renowned for its powerful ruler, and contributions to the events that took place in the world. This Kingdom was known as Fantasia and was led by a King named Arthur Augustus.
But undenounced to the world- a slightly tall dark-skinned boy with light purple-Ish hair existed within this kingdom. A boy who- from the day of his birth to the present day had no real significance to the world, but that all changed on the day of his coming-of-age selection.
A boy named Kaiser was deeply asleep- peacefully, and without a care in the world. Which was only slightly interrupted by a lingering feeling in his mind that he had soon dismissed. Only for his sleep to be interrupted by his sister.
Hey nerd, mom asked me to come see if you're ready for school-
Jasmine was stunned by the sight of seeing Kaiser still lying in bed. Which caused her to stare at Kaiser for a while before speaking again.
...There's no way you're still asleep.
Well- not anymore thanks to you.
Kaiser's remark caused jasmine to grow slightly irritated. This irritation caused her to pull Kaiser out of the bed which made Kaiser hit the floor.
What the hell!! You need to learn to control those anger issues of yours.
Jasmine gives Kaiser a silent but angry facial expression- which makes Kaiser laugh awkwardly as he decides to get up and get dressed for school.
After finding his clothes and heading downstairs Kaiser sees his mom putting food on the table -which he then greets her saying "Goodmorning"- which she reciprocates to.
At that moment Kaiser sat down preparing to eat his breakfast with a hungry expression on his face- almost as if fate was telling him that this would be the best meal of his life. But on that same occasion his mom chimes in- which causes him to have to wait before digging into his food.
Kaisers' mom then asked Kaiser if he's excited about going to his new school and finally going through a class selection- to which Kaiser begins to linger on the thought before giving her an answer.
Yeah- I'm somewhat excited but I'm also pretty tense about today as well. You only get one "class"- and to be honest I'm kind of hoping that my class isn't just dog water ya know.
His mom looks at him with the eyes of a mother desperately wanting to help her children in any way that she can.
It's okay- or rather it's going to be okay. I know you want a good class and deep down i feel that you will get one, but you can't stress out about it. This...- your class isn't something you can control, and you must remember that.
Kaiser looked at his mom before smiling and telling her that she's right- while at the same time thinking that she doesn't understand the depth of responsibility that he feels towards helping his family and the gratitude for doing her best for him and his sister.
I mean for crying out loud, this house that we live in is two stories tall with four bedrooms, and a gigantic living and dining room. This place- this house- it's the result of our mom working hard to give us even a decent life.
As Kaiser was thinking this his face began to frown has as he began to think about his father- who he only had a few distant memories of, but the notation of him remembering his father never really mattered to begin with, because to Kaiser a father that wasn't here for his kids was either dead or gone.
But as Kaisers' thoughts flew- so too did time and before Kaiser knew it, he had already missed the period for him to make it to school on time comfortably, so with his time running out he hurriedly gathered his belongings and headed out the door after telling his mom and Jasmine that he loves them.

Huff- Huff- Huff
The sound of heavy breathing could be heard throughout the neighborhood as Kaiser was beginning to run at a faster pace than usual in order to make it to the school on time. It was times likes these that made Kaiser happy to have been athletic.
And as Kaiser was running, he couldn't help but feel the sensations of everything around him. From the smell of the air- to the warmth of the sun- eyeing how every house near him was bigger than the average house, and how you could feel the wealth of the neighborhood. Which made him momentarily fall back into his thoughts from earlier about his mom while also thinking about what class he might get.
Due to this an accident occurred between Kaiser and a bystander.
...Huh? Hey watchout-
Crash!!
before either one of them knew it both of them were on the ground. Kaiser rubbing his head from the collision. After finally realizing what had accrued, he began to apologize profusely, obviously noting that this incident occurred due to his recklessness.
But of course, his apology fell on deaf ears and was returned by a snarky brat with a tongue as sharp as knives who to Kaiser gave off the feeling of having more than she deserved.
Look i understand that you were injured- to which I have apologized for, but you don't have to be an a**hole.
Or at least that's what Kaiser wanted to say, but instead he decided to stay silent while being chewed out for almost breaking her bike and in that same moment, they both heard a sound that struck chills down their spines.
Ding- dong Ding-dong
At that moment they both looked at each other as they realized that they might be late, so like a fashioned military team they both began to head for the school. Rich brat peddling as if her life depended on it and Kaiser clearly running considerably faster than prior before.
And with just a few seconds away from the gate closing they both end up making it through- effectively making it to school on time. While both were happy Kaiser not wanting to get chewed about again makes a split decision to run.

With Kaiser deciding to run away from a potential disaster he quickly found himself in another disaster as he found himself lost in this ginormous school building. Thinking to himself, he knew the building was big, but the sheer magnitude of the size was unbelievable when standing up and close to it in person.
With no idea of where to go Kaiser decided to walk around in hopes that he'd run into someone that had knowledge of the building, and right on queue a familiar face began to appear as Kaiser was turning the corner.
Micheal?!
Kaisers' face beaming with joy by the coincidence of finding his best friend- to which Micheal also reciprocated that same joy and gleam.
After reuniting Kaiser confesses to Micheal that he was lost and had no idea where he was, and where he was supposed to go- and with a gloomy look on his face, he also concluded that Micheal must've also been lost. But to Kaisers' Surprise Micheal wasn't lost- in fact he was currently on his way to the gathering spot for the selection.
And with no time to spare Kaiser grabbed Micheal telling him to lead the way- to which Micheal happily agreed to.

Both Micheal and Kaiser were currently feeling as sense of boredom of the highest order as they both were stand in a long line of students- who just like them- are also getting evaluated.
But at that same moment a loud commotion caught both of their attention as a fellow well-known student was getting ready to have her class revealed.
Kaisers' eyes began to open wide the realized who the person was.
Hello, Ms. Ethereal, are you ready to have your class evaluated?
Yes Ms. Rias- I 'am ready.
As Alice began to walk up to the altar a smooth fragrance flowed through the air with every step she took- a beauty to superb that- so elegant that for a solid moment Kaiser couldn't help but look at her with awe in his eyes.
The moment Alice stepped up to the altar a bright beam took up the entire area- a beam that was multi facade and elegant to the touch- a light so soft yet so strong at the same time- breath taking to anyone who was lucky enough to see it.
And before anyone could utter a second breathe a text made of flames appeared and was read as such.
The death of a being who possess a strong mind will live on with a strong spirit- a spirit that's capable of leveling planets and crushing stars.
Supreme Grade Class: Solar Elementalist.
And with the wave of the second breath came in a tsunami of cheers as everyone comes to the realization that someone among them had a supreme grade class.
Wow, Ms. Alice got the supreme grade class solar elementalist.
Well, of course she would Boshin. Ms. Alice is one of the most gifted students of our generation, and gaining a class with only 2000 recorded users ever just proves it.
I wish I could get a super cool class like that Bashin.
yeah, just keep dreaming.
Kaiser and Micheal being baffled by this notation were stun locked by the fact that not only did someone in their grade year possess a supreme grade class, but it just so happens to be Alice of all people.
However strangely enough Micheal was stunned the most by this occurrence out of the two of them- to which Kaiser did take notice of. Kaiser decided to ask Micheal what was the matter which caused a crack in Micheals' armor like emotions- and before Micheal knew it words came flying out of his mouth.
