-In the beginning of time…
-God Almighty unleashed his wrath. His wrath was felt by both heaven and earth; the earth was trembling, skies rumbling.
-In a split second, it all happened—too fast for any eye to see… except his. God had banished the most beautiful angel out of heaven.
M:"I hope you'd forgive me my dear brother — for I have to do what's had to be done."
[His last view of the home he was once living in. Bright, but surrounded by dark and sorrowful clouds.]
CHAPTER 1
"The light bringer"
Year: 2021AD…
A gentle breeze howls into the cold night, as snow falls gently…
Old Lady: "Haaaa, Here you go again with your religion bullshit again."
Eun: "But this is good, I'm just spreading the words of God, c'mon."
Old Lady: "Yeah, I know it's good, but to the point you're spewing those to me every day is absurd — I go to church, y'know?!"
Eun: "Haaa, alrighty, just give me that bracelet."
Wears it.
Eun: "What do you think? Does it look good?"
Old Lady: "I'm gonna say that it looks good on you, so you'd purchase it."
Eun: "Haaa, still toady as ever. Here, I'll get this one."
Old Lady: "By the way, you're going to give birth to your spawn next month, right?"
Eun: "You're an asshole for calling my daughter a spawn, you know that?"
Eun: "But yeah, that's that, I'll finally see my precious Yuna next month, so excited!!"
Old Lady: "…Yuna? You really suck at giving names, aren't you?"
Eun: "You're a bitch."
Eun: "Anyways, I'll be on my way now, see you tomorrow!"
Old Lady: "Yeah, yeah, go home, you loud-ass lady. Careful on your way home."
As Eun walked through the snowy street, she walked passed a beautiful towering palm tree surrounded by twinkling lights.
As she watched the lights blink in rhythm, she suddenly heard a loud screech coming from the distance…
SCREECH!!!
CRASH!!!
[Eun lay there, unable to move but still conscious; her own blood began spreading beneath her as she lay on the cold, snowy ground.]
While lying there, she saw the car driving away from her.
But before she could lose consciousness…
The wings sliced through the night air with a chilling rustle, like dead leaves in a storm.
Before her vision went completely blank, she saw a silhouette of a man standing at a distance.
Sleek black shoes slowly stepped through the snowy ground as he walked, an aura that screamed ego and pride.
He lowered himself to kneel and looked at Eun, then placed his hands on her forehead.
After that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but before he did, he looked back at the car speeding away from her. Suddenly, the car burst into flames, and he disappeared with the wind.

*Up beat music plays
[the ballroom glittered with crystal chandeliers, laughter, and clinking glasses. Gold coins and bids flew through the air as wealthy patrons flaunted their fortunes, oblivious to the world outside.]
Lucifer is in a slick black tailored suit, with a maroon dress shirt, and a crimson red ring that glints ominously.
He walked across the room, head raised, shoulders relaxed.
Mr Han:"Good evening Mr Morningstar, it's a surprise to see you here."
Lucifer:"Oh you're surprised? Of course I'd be here, I mean this place is great isn't it?"
Lucifer:"filled with sinful people, how great is that?!" he whispered
Mr Han:"I'm so grateful for all the help you provided for my company— I mean without you I'm not gonna be here in the first place right?"
Lucifer:"Of course Mr Han, I'm more than pleased"
Lucifer:"By the way Mr Han. How's business going? Is sexually harassing
your employees doing great for business?"
Lucifer gently pat Mr Han's Shoulder while politely laughing, then walked out casually.
Everyone looked shocked and confused after hearing what Lucifer just said to Mr Han, some just laughed awkwardly,Whispers echoing around.
The bidding finally started. Everyone was dressed in fancy suits and elegant gowns.
Lucifer: "A room filled with people driven by deep greed. Great." He said as he took a single sip in his champagne
Host:"Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen. We would like to thank you all for coming tonight!"
Host:"Now, what are we waiting for? Our first piece for tonight is a dagger!"
Host:"But not just any simple dagger. This is the real dagger—the very one Cain used to murder his own brother, Abel. The first murder in history."
Lucifer leaned closer to the woman sitting beside him.
Lucifer chuckles.
Lucifer:"That's clearly fake."
Lucifer:"Cain never used a dagger."
He then laughed politely.
A man wearing a fancy gray suit raised his hand.
"Three million."
Another bidder followed—a woman.
"Five."
More voices joined in as the bids climbed.
Lucifer:"Eight mi–"
Suddenly, a woman cut him off.
"Twelve."
She looked at him with a fierce, teasing expression.
Lucifer's smirk widened.
Oh? This woman dares to challenge me.
Lucifer:"This is going to be fun."
Another man raised his hand.
"Thirteen million."
Lucifer:"Eighteen million."
He glanced at the woman, smirking.
Woman:
"Twenty. Is that all you've got—what are you, a high schooler?"
Lucifer scoffed.
This is preposterous. What is she trying to achieve? Going this far for a fake dagger… absurd.
Lucifer:"Thirty million."
Lucifer:"Ooh, apologies. Did I go overboard—"
Woman:"Thirty-one."
Lucifer scoffed again. His eye twitched, his smirk widening even further.
Alright. That's it.
Lucifer:"Five hundred million."
The room fell silent. Everyone stared at him in shock and confusion.
Lucifer looked at her and smirked.
Host:"BID CLOSED! SOLD TO MR. MORNINGSTAR!"
Lucifer casually walked out.
***
*Music plays: "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble
Lucifer in a Maserati, speeding through the night. Neon city lights everywhere, tall fancy skyscrapers.
Lucifer finally arrived at a tall fancy penthouse. As usual he parked his car adjacently to the parking space.
Elevator dings.
Cha:"Good evening master."
Lucifer:"Oh, Cha. Is everything going accordingly?"
Cha:"Certainly—I've closed the deals with those three corporations, just like what you've asked me to do."
Lucifer:"That's great."
Cha:"It seems that everything is going accordingly, I'll be leaving now." She said as she bowed to him.
Lucifer:" Oh yeah, alright"
As Cha left the pent house. A single, massive wingbeat rippled the air like a shockwave.
While Lucifer is pouring himself a whiskey.
Lucifer:"it seems I'll be having a visitor tonight."
Poured another whiskey.
*Turns around.
A man standing across the room, wearing a white robe, with a glowing golden rope hanging from his side, and massive light gray wings that look like ash.
Lucifer:"Oh brother!"
Lucifer:"Long time no see brother, Literally. It's been eons. Anyway, what brings you here? Did our great all mighty father send you here to harass me?"
M:"Unfortunately. Yes."
Lucifer:"Okay, consider me being surprised. Now cut to the chase, what did father ask you to do?"
M:"Lucy, you've just committed that one single rule that we must never break. You just resurrected a human Lucy, you intervened in a human's death."
M:"...Do you know what will happen because of what you've done?!"
Lucifer:"seems like not my problem."
M:"Now, father, asked me to take you. And I'll make that happen one way, or another."
Lucifer:"Oh, is that so Michael? You are indeed an archangel. But I'll be frank, I ain't coming with no one."
Michael:"I know Lucy how upset you are with dad, but we have no choice, you'll have to cooperate. Look, I know that you are stronger than me, but since you were kicked out–"
Lucifer's eyes turned red.
Lucifer:"DO NOT EVER, EVER MENTION THAT." He said as his voice got filled with anger, and slightly turned into growl.
Michael:"Okay, okay. But brother you gotta understand, if you don't comply, I'll be forced to use force against you, and right now, I'm afraid to admit it…"
Michael sighs, and looks down.
Michael:"...That I might overpower you this time."
Lucifer:"I don't care. No one gets to decide who I am, where I would and should be. Not you, especially not Father."
Michael:"for the second time."
Michael:"I'm sorry brother, I'll have to do this…"
***
A battle had broken out between Lucifer and Michael.
Lucifer's penthouse was in ruins—wallpapers torn apart, gaping holes blasted through the walls, shattered glass littering the floor. Furniture lay broken and overturned, remnants of a clash far beyond human scale.
Lucifer lay sprawled across the couch, half-conscious. His body was bruised and bloodied, clothes torn, crimson stains seeping into the fabric beneath him. Each breath was shallow, uneven—but he was still alive.
Michael stood nearby, his expression heavy.
Michael: "Apologies, my dear brother… but I had to."
He began his chant.
At his side, a rope stirred, glowing faintly at first—then brighter, pulsing with a holy radiance that hummed through the air. The light wrapped around Lucifer's body, coiling tightly, burning cold against his skin. Lucifer's muscles tensed as the binding took hold, his movements growing weaker with each loop.
Michael hesitated.
Just for a moment.
Then he spoke the final incantation.
The rope flared, its glow blinding as it began to consume Lucifer, pulling him toward the seal. The light swallowed his form, erasing him inch by inch.
Before he vanished completely, Lucifer forced a smile—bloodied, defiant.
Lucifer: "I always find a way out. Always."
9 Years later…
[Birds chirping, leaves falling from the tree,Wind gently blowing against the grass, students chattering.]
A young girl (Yuna) walking through the school corridor
Everyone is looking at her as she walks past them, whispers echoes, glares lingers,laughters.
Kid:"Look! Ms Grim reaper is here!"
Kid 2:"Everyone go away from her, she'll take you to the grim reaper!"
She just ignored them, and just kept on walking. Until she finally arrived at her aAclass. Everyone was loud, laughing, but the moment she came, everyone fell silent, glares everywhere.
The teacher finally came.
While the teacher is discussing, she notices Yuna sitting in the back, clearly bothered. She gently walked closer to her.
Teacher:"Is…Is everything okay?"
Yuna:"..."
Teacher:"If there's something wrong you can tell me okay?" *Puts her hand on her shoulder.
[Teacher driving, someone called her. When suddenly a speeding truck violently crashed into her car. The car immediately bursted flames, then exploded…]
Yuna Gasped, and immediately started chasing her breath.
Yuna:"You're… *sobs …You're gonna d-die‽"
Teacher:"W-what's that supposed to mean?"
Kid:"She's going to take you teacher"
Kid2:"Yeah he's right!!"
Teacher:"Hey, look, listen. I'm not going to die okay"
Yuna:"You-you will, car crash"
Teacher:"If that's the case, I guess that'll be my time."
Yuna is shocked by what her teacher said.
Yuna:"You're… You're not scared?"
Teacher smiled gently
Teacher:"No, look, not everyone will be here forever, if it's their time, it's their time. There's nothing to be scared about, because that's the beauty of life."
Teacher:"So don't be scared okay"
***
*School bell rings
School finally finished, Yuna was walking on her way home. While she's walking, she can't erase the memory of witnessing her own teacher's death.
While she's walking—Everything suddenly went completely silent, lights somehow got dimmer, air started getting thicker, and wind started to get colder and colder. Then she suddenly heard…
"Pst…"
"Pst…"
She gasped.
She closed her eyes, and covered her ears.
Yuna;"You're not real, you're not real, you're not real, you're…" She said while her voice was trembling in fear.
The sound disappeared, then she slowly opened her eyes. Nothing.
The sounds are gone, but the air is still thick, and cold, everything is still completely silent. Everything is so silent, that the only thing she hears is her breathing.
*Breathing….
*Breathing…
*Looked at her left, Nothing.
*Looked at her right, Nothing.
*Looked behind her… Nothing.
*Turns around… BAAA!!!!!
A terrifying pale woman ghoul appeared in front of her. It was so close to her face that she could feel and smell its breath, which smells like rotten flesh. Its eyes are hollow and sunken, hair is messy, each strand is everywhere.
The air got even thicker and thicker. Yuna was so terrified that all she could do was to close her eyes.
Yuna:"You're not real. You're not real. You're not real."
Ghoul: *mimicking her. "You're not real. You're not real. You're not real~"
Yuna:"You're not real. Ghosts don't exist, Ghosts are not real."
While she's keeping on saying those. The sound of somebody wearing heels waking echoes from the distance, and it gets closer and closer.
A silhouette of a woman in a fancy long coat, with a fancy hat, slowly and fiercely walking, slowly approaching from the distance.
The woman gently patted Yuna's head.
"Everything is fine now."
"So don't be scared okay?"
As the woman said that, Yuna remembered something , and she slowly opened her eyes…
She saw the woman standing between her and the ghoul. The woman is wearing a fancy hat, and a fancy coat, with a scarlet suit underneath.
Yuna:"T-Teacher?"
"Shhhh" smiled
She pulls out a red fan with gold accents, the fan radiating ominous aura. With from her coat.
"Be gone." She said calmly, almost like a serene whisper.
The ghoul was banished, almost instantly.
*She turns to Yuna
"See, everything's fine"
"Are you alright?"
Yuna:"Y-Yes" she said, still trembling.
*She patted her shoulders
"You're okay now, alright, nothing's going to harm you anymore."
"I'll walk you home"
***
While they're walking, Yuna finally calmed down,then she asked.
Yuna:"Where did you get that fan?"
"Fan? Ohh, that one, yeah. Let's just say it was given to me by a powerful fairy, he gave that to me so I could banish those scary things."
"Why you asked?"
Yuna:"Oh, it's nothing…"
Yuna:"Ever since I were younger, everyone my age had always been scared of me, so they'd run away from me."
Yuna:" They're scared of me because I can see ghosts, and how people will die. I'm scared of those things too, but everyone is scared of me, so I don't have anyone with me to fight my fears."
"My poor dear."
"... Do you want this fan?"
Yuna:"What?"
"I said, do you want this fan, because i will give it to you."
Yuna:"Really?!"
"Of course, so you'd be not scared of ghosts anymore."
"Though, of course I'd want something in return too. But don't worry, I will only ask for something small, are you okay with that?."
Yuna:"Yes! But… what do you want in return?" She tilted her head as she asked.
"Simple, I just want you to light candles for that fairy that gave me this fan."
Yuna:"If that's the case, then deal!" Offers her hand.
*Shakes hand.
"Deal."
"Tomorrow, after class, we'll go to his temple, so you could light thecandles—then you'll finally have this fan."
Yuna:"Okay! Tomorrow, I'll light candles for Fairy!"
***
A foggy forest, pine trees towering all over the place. Birds calmly chirping, light from the sun peeking through the fog, and through the tall trees. The sound of leaves whooshing, the sound of twigs, of the Brach's of trees, as the wind gently blows. The atmosphere is thick, but somewhat calming…
Yuna:"Are we almost there?"
"A little more."
Yuna:"Why his temple is so far?"
"Because he is a powerful fairy, he needs a lot of time for silence to meditate, he needs absolute peace. That why he's here."
Yuna:"That sounds lonely"
"Is it?"
Yuna:"Yeah, I mean, yes you're powerful, but you still don't have friends, you have to live alone— so what's the point right? You'll still be lonely."
"... I guess you could say that"
"We're finally here."
A small shrine in the middle of the forest, lanterns hanging around, six candles neatly placed In front, and six on each side, also neatly placed.
She gestured towards the candles.
She slowly and cautiously walked closer to each candle. She lit each candle one by one, then finally she lit the last candle. As she lit that candle, everything changed. She's now somewhere she doesn't know, she's in the middle of a field.
She scans her surroundings, but when she turned around, she saw him, standing there, still scanning his surroundings, looking at his hands, then opened his arms wide and then…
Lucifer:"I'M FREE!!!!"
To be continued…
