What is evil and what is righteous? All are different concepts from different people. People always praise the ones with strength. To be a man that people praise, one needs to have strength. The strong always prey upon the weak, it is the law of nature. The one with strength is righteous and decides who is evil. Because what can the weak do other than accept fate.
The king of the world "Rakadeslo" had 2 sons, one brother, and 3 uncles. As everyone in his era accepted him as a being above all. Before his death, in the very middle of the world, he made a city using every single resource the world ever had. He awarded his sons, brother, and uncles with the title of Saints, and told them this is a sacred land that is to be called "Snageese" and this is the place where you shall live, and also said every single child of you will be called a saint and ordered everyone to acknowledge them as the beings above all.
After Rakadeslo's death, Saints formed the World Government and invited all of the 8 kingdoms of the world into it. Where saints had the highest authority. Out of the 8 kingdoms, 7 accepted the idea while one kingdom rejected it. Thus, the people of the kingdom and its descendants were called Demons.
Other than saints and demons, the normal people were called humans who bowed to saints and accepted them as people above them. So, in this world, Saints were seen as righteous while demons were considered evil.
Because the demons opposed the idea of Saints as a being above all, they all got a mark on the upper left side of their forehead which looked like a blue-colored new moon. However, Saints also have a mark on the upper right side of their forehead which looked like a bright yellow sun.
In this era, people don't have a heart; rather, everyone has a core inside their chest which looks like a football with wings; inside it exists an energy called Twiss.
Like mass is measured in kilograms, Twiss is measured in a unit called Qrif. The higher the Qrif, the higher the rank of the twisser (the people who can control their Twiss). People can gain Qrif by killing twissers and consuming their Twiss.
There are 6 types of cores: Wind, Ice, Lightning, Wisdom, Flame, Forest. Every being carries one type of core which reflects their personality. Wind Core people want everything to be new/revolutionized, Ice Core people are selfish and care about themselves very much, Lightning Core people are kind, Wisdom Core people are wise, Flame Core people are aggressive, and Forest Core people want unity.
Normal twissers range from Rank 1 to 5, with Rank 1 being the weakest and Rank 5 being the strongest. However, it is rumoured that after drinking "The Ancient Heavenly Winged Angel" potion, one gets even higher, but Azaska did not know much about this as he was small in age and had not even awakened his core.
Other than the major ranks, every single rank contains 3 phases (Basic, intermediate, advanced) that one has to cross to achieve the next rank.
Saints, of course, do the same like other people to level up their core. Not every saint becomes a twisser, but those who become one get upper ranked than normal saints and get included in the Divine military system which only includes saints. The military ranks of saints are The Divine Soldiers, The Celestial Vanguards, The Holy Knights, The Seas of Heaven, and finally the 6 Gods of the world. With The Divine Soldiers being the lowest rank and the 6 Gods being the highest rank.
Zack, who was reborn as Saint Azaska, thought of all this. He was now 12 years old and regained all of his memories about how he reached this era. Of course, he was not a naive person that would tell anyone about this. He had also forgotten the name Zack and preferred the name Saint Azaska. Azaska's father was a Holy Knight who died in a battle with a Demon, while his mother died due to childbirth. He was the last descendant of the only brother of Rakadeslo.
Azaska had long silky black hair, with sharp eyebrows, scarlet eyes, a pointed nose with moist and plump lips, and fair skin. He was wearing a black Chinese robe and was sitting on the balcony of his mansion in the sacred land Snageese. Every person here had a mansion. The buildings, mansions, shops, and environment looked like France from the 1800's. Only saints resided here as people other than saints or their guards and servants were strictly prohibited. The saints owned many slaves/servants and were not really good with them. Azaska was neither good to his servants nor bad to them. He simply didn't care about such things.
Right now, he was thinking about what core he might have, but it would be answered in tomorrow's Core Awakening Ceremony at the Divine Hall. He was admired by many people because of his looks and wisdom. Many believed he might become a Wisdom Core person. But Azaska preferred the Wind or Forest Core. As the Wind Core was strong in high area of effect attacks and the Forest Core was best in defence and healing. Other cores also had their speciality, like the Wisdom Core granted the ability of future foresight (depending upon ranks, Rank 1 granted 1 second, Rank 2 granted 3 seconds, Rank 3 granted 5 seconds, Rank 4 granted 9 seconds, Rank 5 granted 17 seconds) and potion making as well as machinery. The knowledge Azaska had till now convinced him that the machine that caused him to be reborn 4000 years in the past might've been made by a Wisdom Core . However, these were all predictions.
'My Lord, would you like some tea?' A female middle-aged servant asked.
'No, I'm okay. And you people can take leave now, go and rest, you people must be tired,' Azaska replied. The moon was shining brightly in the sky as Azaska was swimming deep in his thoughts.
'Thank you, I shall be going then.' The servant bowed and got out of sight.
'What should I do now, it's too late and probably impossible to travel through time again. Also, there is no guarantee that the time I came from even exists now or not—man, I seriously don't know. But this era is great too. Who wouldn't want this luxury and superpowers?' Azaska thought as a gentle breeze rushed into his eyes, causing his hair to fly. The main thing that made Azaska worry was if this is the same planet, how after this era there are no cores and probably no one knows about them. Azaska yawned and said, 'Man, I should probably go and sleep, I've got to awaken my core tomorrow too, man, hehehe, I wonder which core will I get.'
Azaska stood up, watching the shining moon, and went inside his room. This room was far more luxurious than the one he had before being reborn. It contained a massive luxury bed along with a wool carpet, tables, and other necessary items. Azaska put on his pajamas, closed the lamps, and laid down on the comfortable bed. Still thinking about the awakening ceremony, Azaska's eyes closed and he got into a deep sleep.
