[Change of POV]
There is a reason, a reason why I defied the god and even the daemons, leading to an end similar to Weaver.
A reason which became the beginning of everything, and also the end of the 'Golden Era'.
It all started, when I, a dumbass, met an idiot, who then met another dumbass, creating the dumbass trio.
The 'idiot' one is the reason, while the second dumbass became the beginning.
It is the day when Cassandra, the woman I loved, was killed by Nephtalia, that damn nephilim.
Originally, after Shadow blessed me and made me an awakened, I opened my eyes to find a pair of blank and empty eyes with golden hair dangling out of her robe.
I was vigilant at first, but seeing her so weak and malnourished, i didn't thought she was dangerous, so i helped her, and that, was the best descision of my previous life.
I hunted beast, trained my aspect, and took care of the weak woman.
We lived at the broken temple under the protection of the guardian. Our life could be descrbed as similar to a family of husband of wife. Not like I hated it.
We stayed together for half a month, then I found out a woman dying in a ravine. Her body was barely alive, so I saved her, and that was the biggest mistake in my previous life.
After a year, the woman left, then we met her as our enemy, the holy saint of the church of the sun.
As for why I was fighting in that war while not being part of the forgotten church, well that's simole.
Love for a girl can make a man do anything, so I joined in, to protect her.
I didn't know it when we were living together, but both the girls were already transcendent champions, while I was only a master.
At the critical moment, Cass stopped a transcendent attack for me, leaving her heavily wounded, so she couldn't win against Nephtalia.
Then, the Supreme Pope of the Church of Light appeared, leaving me no choice but to escape.
Why did I leave her to die? To Take revenge! And I was merely an Ascended, what could I have possible done?
Then, When I became a Transcendent ten years later, I wiped the entire church branch while the Pope was away.
Of course that bastard chased me, so I had to escape to another realm.
Ascending from Transcendence to Supremacy is not easy, though I only reached Ascendence so quickly was thanks to Cassandra's advance essence refining technique, and Transcendence thanks to the opportunity the Death Knight helped me find.
But I couldn't find a way to achieve Supremacy for around 800 years. Since it was common for Supremacy needing 'Will', I kept improving my will, by fighting Great depraved creatures and stalking Cursed demi-gods, to find ways on improving my 'Will'.
At some point, I felt it. I felt that I could defy the Heavens, but only once and ascend to Supremacy.
So I did.
And as soon as I did, I killed that Supreme Pope and wiped out three more branches before meeting Supreme Auro and needing to run.
Then I formed the Shadow Empire, conquered Nations in Several Nations from different Realms, totaling more than ten thousand nations.
Then another Empire rose, the Light Empire, ruled by Nephtalia. She took over the other half of the realm, which I couldn't take over, finally finding out she had a divine aspect.
Then Weaver came, made a contract with me and left, giving me one part of his lineage.
Words spread all over the realms, the Shadow Empire became an Enemy of the world. All the nations and churches sent Sacred Spirits to reduce the Shadow Domain.
Resulting with Azarax ascending and taking the charge, conquering all of my lands except the nation in the dream realm. Which was destroyed by Auro, now a Sacred Spirit of the Nine.
Well, That was the shortest disclaimer I could give. (100 power stones for an Immersive Pov Chapters!!)
Now back to the present. My main goal for revenge and my main objective of meeting her again is what drove me so far.
I can't help but smile, tears flowing from my eyes, she sat there, alone yet mesmerizing, still like the ange-No! not those ominous things.
I noticed some students watching me with confusion and mockery, but I couldn't care less.
Wiping my eyes i walked over and sat beside the girl with golden blond hair and blank eyes looking into nothing.
"Hello, My name is Sunless. You can call me Sunny. It's nice to meet you." I smiled at her, my heart fluttering as she moved her face towards me.
She is just as beautiful as i remembered. Control! Control! I have to wait until she turns 40! That's is when she becomes an Adult.
If this body is now 17, and she also seems similar age, so It would take 23 more years for us.
I can wait, I've waited for a thousand years, what is a mere 23 more years.
But I have to make sure she doesn't fall for someone else.
So, Planning Time!
First Step, Become her friend and get as close as possible, Best Friends or Eternal Friends. (Eternally more closer than Best Friends or Friends for Eternity)
Second Step, Show affection, make her realize it and then at a critically emotional moment or a special day, Confess my Feelings.
Third one, If She accepts, which she will, Celebrate and prepare for marriage, and if she doesn't...I'll....
"Hello?"
"H-huh? Yes!?"
"I was calling you for a while, it seems you blanked out for a second."
"Y-Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I-It's okay, You're the first person who talked to me."
Watching her smile, I couldn't help but feel terrible. I really hope I don't have to take drastic measures.
I worked too hard to accept a rejection.
I showed a smile, a smile filled with joy, filled with reminiscence and filled with sadness.
It's a good thing she can't see this ridiculous smile of mine.
