The Deceased Human, Thomas Graves; The Only Zombie

In the year 2030, magic appeared on Earth and people were unable to bare children that possessed magic. They had to learn from their parents or school. In the year 2040, a nurse named Kyouko Koizumi made it capable for women to bare children with magic. She then created 4th Clover Technology and people helped her create magic the same year.

In the year 2050, World War III began. In the year 2080, World War III ended. It was the longest war in the world and the population was over 8 billion. Not enough room for everyone to live. But the reason why the war started was to see who was stronger with magic. The country that started the Third World War was Germany. The United States, Japan, France, and Great Britain worked together to defeat the rest of the world.

In the year 2090, a man named Thomas Graves was born. He was born with magic that wasn’t normal. Magic that only Gods and Goddesses could wield. Along with Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels. A person from 4th Clover Technology heard the rumors of a child with the ability to destroy the world and was interested in him. So the person started making experiments.

In the year 2091, his sister Melina Graves was born. She was a normal member of the Graves Clan.

In the year 2100, the Graves War XXV began and ended the very next day. The war was the Graves Clan vs. The Great American Alliance and The Great Asian Alliance.The trump card of the war was Thomas Graves because of the strength of his magic. With the deaths of everyone in the Graves Clan and only the deaths of the soldiers that were on land. And everyone out at sea sailed back to where they belonged. The JSDF grabbed the Graves Clan members and cremated all of the other guys remains and gave the Graves Clan and honorable funeral.

In the year 2105, humanoid beings, Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels arrived on Earth. Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels came to Earth to repopulate their populations. They lost most of their population due to a war that killed a lot of them. And because of that, Melina Graves was revived by Michael, one of the Archangels. And was the very first person he revived when he arrived on Earth.

But then another problem popped up in the year 2110. That was a Devil kidnapped Melina from Heaven and Michael was pissed. The same day as the kidnapping, Thomas woke up in his coffin, which is in a grave, which is in Yokohama War Cemetery.

He noticed that he was in a pitch black room and asked, “Where am I?”

A voice appeared and answered his question, “You are in a coffin.”

Thomas said, “I figured as much. It’s pretty dark in here.”

The voice said, “Of course it is. You are 6 feet under the ground.”

Thomas heard that and said, “That’s right, I did die, didn’t I?”

The voice said, “Yes you did. Along with your entire family.”

Thomas said, “So we lost the war, huh.”

The voice said, “I’m afraid so. The undefeated Graves Clan was annihilated. But let’s just say that 5 years later, the world went back to normal.”

Thomas asked, “What do you mean by that?”

The voice answered, “5 years after the Graves War XXV, humanoid beings, Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels came to Earth. But only Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels came to repopulate their populations which were on the brink of extinction. So they came here and started reviving people. And guess who was revived.”

Thomas answered, “Michael Jackson.”

The voice asked, “How much of an idiot are you?”

Thomas answered, “I hate guessing. I just make up names. Who?”

The voice answered, “Your sister, Melina.”

Thomas said, “She was revived, huh. Nice.”

The voice asked, “Are you ready to hear the problem now?”

Thomas asked, “What problem? Did she get laid before me?”

The voice heard that and answered, “Shut up and let me speak.”

Thomas said, “Yessir.”

The voice sighed and said, “Well, you know how Devils and Angels hate each other, right?”

Thomas answered, “Yep. They love killing each other. What’s the problem?”

The voice answered, “Man, you need to stop talking. The problem is that a Devil named Orpheus Andromalius kidnapped your sister this morning. He plans on marrying her. And ruining the relationship between the 2 factions.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Now that is a problem. Who revived her?”

The voice answered, “Michael. One of the Archangels of Heaven. And now he's the head of Heaven because his father, the former ruler of Heaven has died because of a big war against Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels.”

Thomas said, “I see. I bet that he’s pissed. So you want me to stop this feud.”

The voice said, “Yes. I want you to save your sister and Michael from doing something stupid.”

Thomas said, “Understood. Whenever you are ready, send me there.”

The voice said, “One more thing before we go. I must say that you are quite reliable even though you are dumb as hell. I’m Athena, a Goddess of Greek Mythology.”

Thomas said, “Oh shit. I’m listening to a Goddess, huh.”

Athena said, “Whenever you get passed your limit of life, I will be unleashed turning you into a girl.”

Thomas said, “Seriously? Turning me into a girl.”

Athena asked, “Is there a problem with that?”

Thomas answered, “No, just why?”

Athena answered, “It’s your Beast Mode.”

Thomas said, “Man, I really wasn’t expecting to hear that term again. But who cares? I’ll accept it.”

Athena said, “OK, the plan is....”

While she was telling Thomas her plan, the host of the Engagement Party, Orpheus said, “Welcome to my party everyone. I’m here to announce that the only surviving member of the Graves Clan, Melina Graves is here tonight. I plan on asking her to marry me. What do you all think?”

Everyone started cheering and his father, the fifteenth head of the Andromalius Clan, Lord Andromalius said to himself, “He’s really trying to start a war between both Angels and Devils. What the hell are you planning?”

Orpheus said, “Let my bride appear.”

Melina appeared with anger in her eyes and Orpheus said, “Here she is everyone. Melina Graves.”

Lord Andromalius said, “She’s really pissed off.”

The doors broke down and Orpheus saw Michael and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Michael answered, “I came to get my girl back, that is in my peerage.”

Everyone heard that and looked at Orpheus and he said, “Don’t listen to him. He has no idea what he’s talking....”

A coffin appeared making an explosion in the ground and everyone saw that and Athena smiled and lightning appeared from Zeus in Heaven and the lightning hit the coffin and it went on fire and the cover of the coffin flew off toward Michael and Michael saw that and jumped back and Thomas stood up and a shadow appeared inside of the fire and everyone looked at the shadow and asked, “What the hell is going on here? Who is that?”

Thomas stepped out of the fire without the fire consuming him and then the coffin disappeared and everyone saw that and Thomas was staring at Michael and said, “Hm, I have a feeling that you aren’t the enemy. You must be Sir Michael.”

Michael heard that and said, “Yes, but who are you?”

Thomas answered, “You’ll find out later.”

Thomas turned around and saw the stage and said, “Hm, stopping him from attacking him is going to be hard. But let’s see what happens here. Why do I see an angry girl?”

Orpheus said, “She’s not angry. You are just imagining things.”

Thomas looked at him and then her and moved his mouth without any words coming out and Melina saw that and said, “It can’t be.”

Orpheus asked, “What’s wrong?”

Melina answered, “That’s brothers magic.”

Everyone heard that and Orpheus said, “That’s not magic. That’s him just moving his lips.”

Melina said, “Wrong. Your arm is moving on its own. My brother is capable of controlling people with his lips moving, but not making any words come out.”

The heiress of the Andromalius Clan, Irus Andromalius heard that and said, “Interesting.”

Orpheus’ hand grabbed his shirt and took it off and everyone saw that and Thomas said, “It’s called Silent Control. A magic spell that no one is capable of using, unless you have the power of the Gods and Goddesses. Maybe even Devils and Angels. But not Fallen Angels.”

Orpheus grinned and Melina saw the emblem of the Great Asian Alliance on his shoulder and said, “The Great Asian Alliance.”

Thomas grinned and Orpheus looked at her and Melina stepped away and collapsed and Thomas growled and said, “I’m going to make them regret killing my family. So, any last words.”

Michael heard that and said, “Calm down.”

Orpheus said, “It seems that it’s too late for that.”

Melina said, “Yes it is. This brother of mine is the scariest of them all. But only takes care of me. All of the other brothers hate me or is a pervert.”

Thomas said, “Like this man.”

Melina answered, “Yes.”

Irus said, “He’s not a pervert.”

Thomas roared like a dragon and the girls appeared and Thomas asked, “Then why did I find them locked up in a cell, naked? Saying that the host of this party is a rapist and loves sex.”

Melina heard that and continued moving back and Lord Andromalius appeared by her and took her to where he stands and said, “Everything will be ok, Melina. It seems that there is some truth to this.”

Orpheus grinned and said, “You know what brat, I’ll kill you here and now.”

Thomas said, “Nope. We’ll be fighting in my dimension. If we fought here, many people will die. But I won’t allow that to happen. Because I’m a nice man.”

The women looked at Thomas and Thomas took his shirt off and Orpheus saw that and Thomas tapped his stomach 3 times and then punched it as hard as he could and then a portal appeared and it sucked the 2 of them into it and Irus said, “It’s true. What he said, is it true father?”

Lord Andromalius answered, “Yes it is. There’s a videotape somewhere in this castle that proves it. But now that it’s out there, I think he unleashed a monster. A monster that shouldn’t be unleashed. By the way, why does your brother hold a grudge against the Great Asian Alliance?”

Melina answered, “The Great Asian and American Alliance kidnapped me, raped me, and tortured me for 4 straight years. So that caused the Graves War XXV. We lost that war and brother ended it by killing everyone on the ground. But I was saved from them. Thomas entered the Navy Vessel and searched for me. While everyone was fighting outside. He took over one of the Navy Vessels.”

Michael heard that and Melina said, “As soon as he got to the cell blocks, he saw women all over the place, they were naked, including me. They didn’t join the war because Thomas teleported them elsewhere so they wouldn’t get caught up in what was about to happen.”

Michael asked, “What was about to happen?”

Melina answered, “The destruction of both armies.”

Irus heard that and said, “Impossible. Are you saying that Thomas is a one man army?”

Melina answered, “Yes. Magic hits him, he just acts like nothing happened. He attacks like one huge army. But his opponents don’t stand a chance in his dimension.”

Everyone heard that and asked, “Why?”

Melina answered, “His dimension is a stadium. A stadium where the Gods and Goddesses are watching. From Greek Mythology to Norse Mythology to Roman Mythology. And all of the other Mythology’s. They all watch Thomas fight. And we’ll be watching as well.”

Irus heard that and asked, “How do we get into the dimension?”

Melina answered, “You can’t. It only sucks in the people that Thomas wants to fight. And you aren’t his target apparently.”

Irus said, “I can tell.”

They appeared in the stadium.

2: The Fate Of the Devils and Angels Are In Thomas' Hands Now
The Fate Of the Devils and Angels Are In Thomas' Hands Now

Zeus, Greek God said, “Welcome back sir.”

Thomas said, “Thank you. It’s good to be back.”

Athena, Greek Goddess asked, “Where were you?”

Thomas answered, “Dead.”

Apollo, Greek God said, “Not good.”

Orpheus looked around and saw the Gods and Goddesses and asked, “Where are we?”

Thomas answered, “My Dimension. It’s me fighting the people that I hate the most. Well, only my targets. And you are my only target. So this is a boring showcase to the Gods of Heaven.”

Orpheus asked, “Did you trap them in here?”

Thomas answered, “Not at all. They can come and go as they please. Because they are Gods and Goddesses. They are stronger than us humans. You should know that.”

Orpheus said, “I do know that. But I’m not a human. I’m a Devil. And a member of the Great Asian Alliance.”

Thomas said, “Yeah, I know that. And now that you are about to die, I have one less person to take care of.”

Orpheus heard that and said, “You can’t be serious.”

Thomas said, “And for kidnapping my sister, I’ll have to take my time with you because I didn’t take my full anger out on them 10 years ago.”

Orpheus said, “Wait, just wait. I was forced to work for them. Please forgive me.”

Dolos, Greek Spirit said, “He’s lying to you.”

Thomas heard that and Orpheus grinned and Dolos said, “I’m a spirit of trickery and guile.”

Orpheus said, “You gotta be kidding me. So you can tell if I’m lying or not. Is that why you brought me here? You would have them on your side.”

Thomas said, “They aren’t on my side. They won’t even allow me into Heaven. And Hades just plain hates my guts. I can’t even go there. So I lived in the clouds for my time. Watching over the world.”

Orpheus asked, “Then why do they watch you?”

Zeus answered, “We watch him to decide to let him into Heaven or not. But he’s too much of a monster to be considered a good guy.”

Thomas said, “Man, I only do these crazy things to keep my sister alive. Safe, if you know what I mean.”

They said, “We know exactly what you mean.”

Thomas said, “Oh boy. This might take awhile.”

Orpheus said, “Let me out of here.”

Thomas said, “I’m afraid that I can’t do that. As soon as we enter the dimension, there is no escape till one of us dies.”

Orpheus said, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Thomas said, “Not at all. I hate the Great Asian Alliance. And they attacked my sister. No, they kidnapped her and tortured her for 4 years. It also seems that she was traumatized because of that. Now she is afraid to be with a man that is naked or she is naked in front of a boy.”

Orpheus heard that and said, “She never told me that. Or I would have never kidnap her.”

Thomas looked at Dolos and Veritas, Roman Goddess said, “He’s telling the truth. He wouldn’t have done so if he knew about it.”

Thomas said, “OK. If she says that you are telling the truth, then I believe you. But that still doesn’t let you off the hook.”

Athena heard that and Orpheus asked, “Why?”

Thomas answered, “You are a member of the Great Asian Alliance. You kidnapped all of those women with only your father knowing that you were doing lewd things to them.”

Orpheus said, “Wait, father knows about this.”

Thomas said, “Yep. As soon as we entered this dimension, he said that he had a videotape somewhere in the castle.”

Orpheus said, “Oh shit. That’s not good. Don’t let him show Irus the video footage. That might save the Underworld.”

Thomas said, “No it won’t. Now that she knows that you had sex with them, she might just kill your father.”

Orpheus said, “I need to stop her. You need to let me stop her.”

Thomas said, “Sorry. I already told you that no one is capable of escaping, except for the Gods that is. Plus, your father is safe. My sister is there. She’s stronger than she looks.”

Everyone said, “Yes she is. She’s a wonderful looking girl as well. So I don’t blame you for wanting to have sex with her.”

Thomas yelled, “Shut up. Are you all idiots? Devils and Angels aren’t capable of getting married.”

Zeus said, “Thomas is right. Shut up.”

Everyone said, “We’re sorry.”

Thomas sighed and said, “See what I gotta put up with. These horny Gods.”

They said, “Now that’s harsh.”

Thomas said, “I’m quite honest when I say that and you know it Veritas.”

Veritas said, “Yep. He’s telling the truth.”

Orpheus said, “Damn. This dimension is the worst. Mine is better.”

Thomas said, “Well, we aren’t going there.”

Orpheus asked, “Why not?”

Thomas answered, “The Gods can’t judge you from there.”

Orpheus said, “That’s all you want.”

Thomas answered, “Nope. Their judgment sucks.”

Dolos sighed and said, “Stop telling the truth man.”

Veritas said, “He’s telling the truth.”

Zeus said, “Now that effects me now. You are an idiot.”

Thomas said, “That may be true. It may not be. Who knows? But I already know that I am one because someone called me an idiot earlier. So the truth is that I’m one hell of an idiot.”

Everyone laughed and Dolos said, “I’m sad now.”

Veritas said, “It’s ok to be sad. Just don’t be too sad because your chance to talk might come again soon.”

Thomas said, “Can we just get this over with already? Ring the bell.”

Everyone looked at each other and Thomas took out a damn rock and tossed it to Zeus and Zeus caught it and Zeus threw it at the bell and it hit it and the bell rang. The rock fell and hit one of the Gods on the head.

Thor, Norse God said, “That hurt like a bitch.”

Zeus said, “You should have hit the bell then.”

Thor said, “Oh, that’s right.”

He rang the bell 3 times and then the video footage appeared and Thomas looked at Orpheus and Orpheus looked at Thomas and then they took off and Orpheus’ sword Lightning Clash appeared and Thomas’ sword Demon Crusher appeared and they swung at each other and sparks appeared and Thor smiled and said, “This is probably going to be a good fight.”

Athena asked, “What makes you say that?”

Thor answered, “They are equally matched.”

Zeus said, “Not at all. Thomas is putting more pressure into his swings.”

Freya, Norse Goddess said, “Well, they are on equal terms. Death or life. But only one will be able to leave.”

Ares, Greek God said, “Yep. But I think that Thomas is going to win like always. Pain isn’t in his vocabulary.”

Thomas looked at his sword and then saw the sword disappear from his hands and Thomas stood there and his body disassembled itself and Orpheus laughed and said, “I win boy.”

Athena said, “Activate Beast Mode.”

Thomas’ body rebuilt itself and then started transforming into a girl and Orpheus saw that and said, “Beast Mode. You gotta be kidding me.”

Thomas looked around and Zeus looked at Athena and then at Thomas and said, “Damn, he copied your body.”

Athena said, “Wrong. That’s his Beast Mode. Beast Mode’s are dangerous figures in mythology and more. His Beast Mode must be Athena. That’s what my Beast Mode is. Turns the body of any figure into a girl.”

Thomas disappeared and appeared behind him and attacked him and continued doing that all around his body with a very fast speed and everyone in the Underworld saw that and Irus said, “Kick his ass brother of Melina.”

Lord Andromalius laughed and said, “Turning on family is a bitch.”

Melina said, “Yes it is. Our little brother is just like your son. A traitor to the family.”

Lord Andromalius said, “I see.”

Melina said, “He wanted us all dead. And that also costed him his life.”

Lord Andromalius said, “I see. Let me guess, your brother there killed him.”

Melina said, “Yep. He cut him into pieces.”

Orpheus fell to the ground and Thomas looked at him and Orpheus disappeared and appeared above him and Thomas smiled and jumped up and Orpheus saw that and he flew up and Thomas grabbed his legs and threw him into the ground with all of his might and Freya said, “He’s making Athena look strong.”

Athena said, “That’s because I am strong.”

Thomas looked at him and Orpheus said, “You monster.”

Thomas said, “Not at all. I’m not a monster. I’m actually something you call a Deceased Human. Or in other words, a Zombie.”

Everyone heard that and said, “A Zombie.”

Thomas said, “Yep. They really are immortal. You cut them to pieces, they’ll continue to live till someone takes there head off. No, I mean severely damage the brain. But I’m not dead yet. Then what the hell is a Zombie then.”

Everyone asked, “Why are you asking us?”

Thomas answered, “I want to know dammit. Is that too much to ask for?”

They answered, “Yes.”

Thomas sighed and Orpheus appeared and swung at him and energy waves appeared flying toward him and Thomas dodged them all and Thomas jumped up, over him and put his palm out and Orpheus felt the pressure being pushed on to him and Orpheus flew into the stadium and screamed and Freya said, “I think that I’m in love with him.”

Athena laughed and said, “Sorry, but he’s not yours. He’s mine.”

Zeus said, “He’s no one’s.”

Thomas said, “I have to agree with Zeus here.”

They said, “You truly are mean.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Orpheus appeared behind him, while he wasn’t paying attention and attacked him.

Thomas collapsed and Veritas said, “Thor was right. This really is a good match.”

Zeus said, “Yes it is.”

Orpheus went on top of him and Thomas lifted his feet up and kicked Orpheus in the face and Orpheus flew up and Thomas appeared above him and as soon as Orpheus appeared underneath Thomas’ feet, Thomas flew to the ground causing Orpheus to fall with him and Orpheus put a sword in Thomas’ back before hitting the ground and as soon as they landed, an explosion occurred and the sword went through his body even deeper than how Orpheus put it in and the Gods asked, “Who won I wonder? Is it Thomas or Orpheus? I really want to know that now.”

Thomas walked out of the smoke slowly and appeared as his normal self and the sword was still in him and Thomas took the sword out of himself and collapsed and Melina said, “Oh boy. Sounds like him.”

Lord Andromalius asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Melina answered, “Mostly after every match he has, he ends up falling. Just like a complete idiot.”

Irus said, “I see. So he’s an idiot as well. Is he a pervert?”

Melina laughed and answered, “Nope. But the women love him. But also doesn’t show any attention to the women that fall in love with him and mostly turns them down with a smile on his face.”

Lord Andromalius asked, “Does he plan on getting married?”

Melina asked, “Who knows what that man’s thinking? I can’t even figure him out at all. It’s quite sad for a family member not to know anything about a man that he/she is related to.”

Irus said, “I know the feeling.”

Lord Andromalius said, “Yep. Women are mysterious beings.”

Melina said, “So are men.”

A portal appeared above them and the Gods said, “You won Thomas. See you later.”

Thomas waved and he was sucked into the portal and Thomas fell to the ground and fell face first and said, “I’m back.”

Michael lifted him up and said, “So the Gods and Goddesses were watching you.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Thomas stood up slowly and Melina asked, “Where are you going now? Well, after this?”

Thomas answered, “Earth. Where I belong. Look for a home to live in. Hopefully don’t get interrupted by women. And have fun.”

Melina heard that and asked, “What kind of fun are you thinking of?”

Thomas answered, “Going to a nightclub and getting drunk.”

Michael said, “You truly are an idiot.”

Thomas waved and said, “Don’t forget that the peace between Angels and Devils have been saved. Not by me, but by a near ghost.”

They heard that and Irus asked, “Why would you leave? You could just live here.”

Thomas answered, “1, you look like you are about to seduce me. 2, you need to stay back. 3, I rather be on Earth where humans hate each other. And I’m actually thinking about entering a magic high school.”

Melina heard that and Thomas said, “Oh yeah, may I get the tape where Orpheus was doing lewd things to women?”

Lord Andromalius answered, “Sure, but why do you want it?”

Thomas smiled and answered, “That is unknown. I’d just like to see it.”

Melina said, “You’re turning into a pervert.”

Thomas said, “Not at all.”

Lord Andromalius tossed it toward him and Thomas caught it and walked away and Melina asked, “What the hell are you planning brother?”

Thomas answered, “I’m planning to sell it for money.”

They heard that and yelled, “What the hell are you thinking? You must be out of your damn mind.”

Thomas put it on the ground and then went on his knee and the tape shattered into pieces and Thomas stood up and walked away and Irus said, “He shattered it.”

Lord Andromalius said, “Good enough. See you around.”

Thomas heard that and said, “If you say so.”

Thomas disappeared and Michael said, “Let’s go, Melina. Everyone is waiting for us to return.”

Melina said, “Yessir.”

Lord Andromalius teleported her in front of Michael and said, “There you go.”

Michael put his hand out and Lord Andromalius shook it and said, “Well, hope to do business with you soon. Have fun.”

Michael said, “You too.”

They left and Irus walked to the stage and said, “Sorry about that everyone. It seems that this party is off. But please enjoy the food.”

Everyone started talking to each other and eating with a drink and Lord Andromalius snapped his fingers and the guards appeared and asked, “What’s wrong sir?”

Lord Andromalius answered, “Get some of the dancers.”

The guards said, “Yessir.”

Dancing music started playing and the women appeared on the stage and they were dancing.

Everyone started dancing and Irus smiled and said, “This really is a good party. Even without the Engagement. It’s good.”

Lord Andromalius said, “I agree with you. This really is a good party. We have to thank that man for this.”

Irus said, “Yes we do.”

3: The CEO and President of 4th Clover Technology
The CEO and President of 4th Clover Technology

As soon as Thomas got to Earth, he started looking for a house to live in, in Japan.

He went to Tokyo, Japan and found a house big enough for him to roam around in and walked to the door and then a girl opened the door and said, “Welcome.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Do you own this house?”

The girl answered, “Nope. Actually I’m waiting for a man named Thomas Graves to appear.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why are you waiting for a man that died 10 years ago?”

The girl answered, “He’s alive. He just woke up from the dead. And I know that because he’s a strong man. Tell me, do you know where he is?”

Thomas answered, “Nope, I don’t know where he is.”

Thomas looked at the house and the girl said, “Oh yeah, this house is his now. I bought it for him.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why would you go through all of that trouble?”

The girl answered, “I’ve been alive since the year 2000. 40 years old and created a way for children to have magic when born. Also the CEO and President of 4th Clover Technology’s Japan Branch.”

Thomas heard that and said, “4th Clover Technology. That’s where people go to create magic, right?”

The girl said, “Or to test it out. And remake it. We do a lot of things with it.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why are you doing this for Thomas?”

The girl answered, “That is a good question. But let’s just say that I’ve been quite interested in him since he was born. A man with the power of the Gods.”

Thomas sighed and said, “I guess that it is time to confess.”

The girl heard that and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Thomas answered, “You are looking at Thomas Graves.”

She heard that and said, “You are Thomas Graves. I thought that he had silver hair.”

Thomas said, “Oh, it didn’t change back yet. Oh well, you didn’t have to buy me a place.”

The girl said, “I rather be nice to a man that I just met. How good are you with magic?”

Thomas answered, “You don’t need to know that.”

The girl said, “Yes I do. I actually plan on hiring you.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Hiring me. I have a feeling that you are having lewd ideas right now.”

The girl sighed and said, “You can think that all you want. I am only doing my job as a President of the company. Picking the right people for the job.”

Thomas said, “Well, you got the wrong man.”

The girl heard that and said, “Actually, you are wrong. You must not forsake yourself as an evil doer. You are a nice person. I want you to work under me.”

Thomas said, “No. I don’t work for anyone.”

The girl sighed and said, “This is the first house you decided to look at, am I correct?”

Thomas answered, “Yes. That doesn’t mean anything.”

The girl said, “You were looking for a place to live on Earth as I thought. So I chose the best house for a King.”

Thomas said, “I’m not a King.”

The girl said, “Yes you are. Don’t think about it. But sooner or later, people will start following you. But that’ll happen soon.”

Thomas heard that and said, “You gotta be kidding. Me, a King. I doubt it.”

The girl said, “Don’t doubt it. It’ll happen. Just you wait.”

Thomas heard that and said, “You really are insane. But I like insane people. I’ll work for you.”

The girl heard that and said, “Thank you. By the way, I’m Kyouko Koizumi. But people in the company called me Heavenly Change.”

Thomas said, “Only the people of the company.”

Kyouko said, “Yep. Only the people in the company. But you could call me Kyouko if you want.”

Thomas said, “OK. Well then, if you need me, give me a call. That is the only time I’ll come to the company.”

Kyouko smiled and said, “Understood. See you around. But first, here are your keys for the house.”

Thomas took the keys and she disappeared and Thomas said, “She disappeared.”

Thomas walked into the house and closed the front door and walked to the living room and saw that there was furniture was in there along with a tv and said, “She really did go overboard just for me.”

A maid appeared and said, “Welcome home, sir.”

Thomas heard that and turned around and saw a girl and asked, “Who are you?”

The maid answered, “I’m your maid from now on.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why?”

The maid answered, “I can tell you if something bad is happening, or not. Like right now, that person that bought this house is being attacked by 10 magicians. And they are all males and they are beating her pretty badly.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why would I care about that?”

The maid answered, “If you don’t help her, you will be the CEO and President of the company. Do you want that?”

Thomas answered, “Nope. It seems that I have no choice then.”

The maid said, “Yep, that’s what it means, sir.”

Thomas said, “Let me guess, she’s a mile away from 4th Clover Technology. A trap set by someone.”

The maid said, “Yes, a trap to kill her. The person that turned immortal by creating magic for children that are born.”

Thomas heard that and said, “I see. I’ll go now.”

The maid said, “Bring her back now. She won’t be capable of working for a while.”

Thomas said, “Understood.”

Thomas walked to the door and disappeared and the maid saw that and said, “It truly is one hell of a trap.”

Thomas appeared behind the 10 magicians and said, “It seems that I came in the nick of time.”

They heard that and said, “Who are you?”

Thomas answered, “I’m Thomas Graves, her subordinate. Now you better let her go before I judge you all.”

Kyouko heard that and the magician all the way on the left said, “Judge us? Don’t make us laugh.”

Thomas looked up at the sky and saw the clouds moving around and said, “Hm, judgment day is today. And I say that you are all going to die. See you in Hell.”

They heard that and Thomas appeared in the middle of them and swung his arms around his body and then a twister appeared and they flew up and the magicians snapped there fingers and the twister disappeared and Thomas stayed in that position with a smile on his face.

They landed on the ground and said, “You underestimated us.”

Thomas stood up and looked at Kyouko and then looked at his shirt and said, “Blood is nothing compared to death.”

Skin started to shed off of them and blood gushed out and they screamed and Thomas looked up and the magicians ran toward him and Thomas started moving his arms around in circles and then made a box and put it in front of him and the magicians looked at the box and Thomas entered it and closed it up with a smile and the magicians swords and guns started attacking him and cut him to pieces and they opened up the box and nothing was in there and asked, “What is this? Where did his body go?”

The sky turned red and everyone looked up, including the citizens, the police, the military, etc. and asked, “What the hell is this? Is this magic? Who is capable of turning the sky red?”

Meteorites started to appear flying down toward the location of where the 10 magicians were and they said, “Oh shit. What is this? Why are they only headed this way?”

Kyouko crawled out of the way and the only girl magician of the 10 said, “It can’t be. He’s the meteorites. And he’s targeting us. What have we ever done to you?”

Thomas answered, “You harm the CEO and President of 4th Clover Technology, that means I have to take over her position. I’m not allowing that to happen.”

Major General Sayuri Yamazaki of the 303rd Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion said, “The sky spoke to us. And said something about the CEO and President of 4th Clover Technology. It seems that she’s in danger.”

The 303rd moved out and followed the meteorites and the 10 magicians looked at the meteorites in fear and then 5 minutes later, the JSDF appeared and looked up and the magicians turned there heads and saw them and said, “Even worse. The JSDF appeared.”

The meteorites hit the ground and the magicians screamed and they saw that and Kyouko looked at the smoke and asked, “What is the meaning of this? This smoke is hot as hell.”

Kyouko started backing away even more and 10 minutes later, the smoke disappeared and Thomas appeared again and said, “It seems that took care of them all.”

The 303rd looked at him and Thomas turned his head and saw them and said, “Oh, when did the 303rd get here?”

Kyouko answered, “15 minutes ago.”

Thomas said, “I see. It’s nice to meet you all.”

They heard that and Sayuri asked, “What was that just now?”

Thomas answered, “Meteorite Day. It takes the daylight away for 10 minutes and then appears again. Meteorites fall from the sky as soon as you opened that box. Which I would be hiding in. They will attack the box and as soon as they open it, they’ll witness that nothing is there.”

They heard that and asked, “Who are you?”

Thomas answered, “Thomas Graves. The man that ended the Graves War XXV. Also the trump card of the Graves Clan.”

Kyouko heard that and asked, “How’d you do it?”

Thomas answered, “With a spell called Heavenly Change. It’s a spell that turns the sky dark red, no, it’s dark purple and beams of light fly to the ground. The color of the beams are dark purple as well. Also is my deadliest spell. Well, it is time to go.”

Kyouko heard that and Thomas walked toward her and Sayuri asked, “Where are you going?”

Thomas answered, “Home. If you need me, give me a call. I’m willing to help.”

They heard that and said, “OK. If that’s the case, Special Lieutenant Kyouko Ooguro is your name.”

Thomas said, “It sounds like a girls name.”

Sayuri said, “Because it is a girls name.”

Thomas lifted Kyouko up and they disappeared and appeared inside of his house and the maid said, “Welcome back.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Kyouko asked, “Why did you take me with you?”

Thomas answered, “Don’t ask me. Ask her.”

Kyouko asked, “Why am I here again, Nora?”

Nora Agares answered, “You can’t go to work while you are injured ma’am. It is for your own good.”

Kyouko said, “I see. You really are a thoughtful person.”

Nora said, “Not at all. I’m only doing this for my lord.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Who the hell is Nora?”

Nora answered, “Oh, I never introduced myself to you, did I?”

Thomas said, “Not at all.”

Nora said, “Well, I’m Nora Agares. A member of the Agares Clan in the Underworld. I’m a Devil.”

Thomas said, “I can tell by your wings.”

Nora said, “You could see them.”

Thomas said, “Yep. Now, where am I putting her?”

Nora answered, “Your bed of course.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “What did you say?”

Nora answered, “Your bed.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why my bed?”

Nora answered, “Because Zombies never sleep. They walk around all the time.”

Thomas said, “Wrong. This isn’t a movie or television show. This is reality and I am going to sleep right now.”

Nora asked, “What about enrolling into Atlas Academy? It starts tomorrow.”

Thomas said, “School starts tomorrow or the Entrance Exams start tomorrow?”

 Kyouko answered, “The Entrance Exams start tomorrow. School starts a week after that.”

Thomas asked, “How do you know that?”

Kyouko smiled and answered, “I’m a teacher at Atlas Academy.”

Thomas said, “Damn, you have 2 jobs.”

Kyouko said, “Yep. It’s not that hard. I’ve been doing it for years.”

Thomas said, “I see.”

Kyouko said, “I think that you should enroll there.”

Thomas said, “I already planned on enrolling there.”

They said, “That’s good to hear.”

Thomas walked to the steps and asked, “Where is my room anyway?”

Nora answered, “Your name is on the door.”

Thomas said, “I see. It’s that simple.”

Kyouko said, “Yep. By the way Nora, am I going to be able to go to the Entrance Exams tomorrow?”

Nora answered, “Yes you will. Right now, you are injured. Tomorrow, you’ll be healed and good as new.”

Kyouko said, “I see.”

Thomas walked up the steps and Nora asked, “Would you like anything for dinner, sir?”

Thomas answered, “Nope. Not hungry.”

Nora heard that and asked, “Are you sure?”

Thomas answered, “Yes I am.”

He appeared by the door that has his name on it and opened it and saw that the room is huge as hell and asked, “Why the hell is the room so big?”

Kyouko answered, “Good question.”

Thomas walked inside of it and walked to his bed and placed her on the bed gently and then walked to the other side and took his shirt off and went to sleep.

Nora appeared and saw that and put her thumbs up and Kyouko saw that and smiled and said to herself, “You are insane, Nora. You truly are trying to kill me.”

4: The Opening Ceremony at Atlas Academy
The Opening Ceremony at Atlas Academy

A week and a day later, Thomas wakes up to go to Atlas Academy. But as soon as he woke up, his arms were cuffed to the bed and started pulling his arms forward and Kyouko woke up to the noise and said, “Good morning, Thomas.”

Thomas looked at his wrists and saw the cuffs there and asked, “Why am I in cuffs?”

Kyouko answered, “I don’t know. I was asleep the entire time.”

Thomas said, “Get Nora up here now.”

Kyouko heard that and said, “OK. Nora, Thomas wants to speak with you!”

Nora heard that and ran up the stairs and appeared in front of his door and asked, “What is it sir?”

Thomas asked, “What the hell did you do to me last night?”

Nora answered, “Nothing sir. Why do you ask?”

Thomas started shaking his arms and Nora heard the cuffs and said, “Oh, you mean the cuffs. It was for her to enjoy herself.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Huh. Enjoy herself. What the hell are you thinking? And why are you still in my bed?”

Nora answered, “I am just trying to help you out sir. You will need children to rule the world.”

Thomas said, “I don’t plan on ruling the world.”

Nora said, “I mean to bring the Graves Clan back to the way it used to be. Right now, it is only you and your little sister. But in the future, it will grow again. That is what I’m planning sir.”

Thomas said, “I see. And you?”

Kyouko answered, “I’m here because she brought me here while I was sleeping in my house.”

Thomas looked at Nora and Nora started whistling and Thomas sighed and said, “Well, now that we got that out of the way. Uncuff me. I have to go to school, you know.”

Nora said, “That’s right. It starts soon, doesn’t it?”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Kyouko stood up and noticed that she was naked and said, “I’m naked.”

She covered herself and said to herself, “She truly is trying to get me killed.”

Thomas sighed and said, “You gotta be kidding me, Nora.”

Nora got undressed and Thomas said, “Hold up Nora. What the hell are you doing?”

Nora got dressed for school and answered, “Getting dressed for school. Hurry up and get dressed.”

Thomas yelled, “I’m in cuffs dammit. Take them off.”

Nora said, “You are strong enough to get out of them sir.”

Thomas looked at her and grinned and Thomas swung his arms at the same time and got out of the cuffs and blood squirted out of them and Thomas looked at her and said, “I’m seriously going to kill you one day.”

Nora sighed and said, “No you won’t. Or you’ll never know when to act.”

Thomas sighed and snapped his fingers and his wounds healed and Thomas stood up and noticed that he was naked and said, “Man, if I wake up naked one more time, I’m seriously going to kill you.”

Nora said, “No you won’t.”

Thomas sighed again and walked to his dresser and then looked at her outfit and said, “Wait, you are going to Atlas Academy as well.”

Nora answered, “Yep. I enrolled last week, like you.”

Thomas heard that and his jaw dropped and then got dressed and Nora said, “And I’m the number one student and the Class Representative of this year.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Seriously. You need to shut up.”

Nora laughed and Thomas got dressed and said, “Shit. Let’s go.”

Kyouko asked, “Where are my clothes?”

Nora answered, “In his dresser.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Are you kidding me?”

Nora answered, “Nope. You 2 have been sharing the same dresser for at least a week now.”

Thomas said, “I noticed.”

Kyouko walked to the dresser and looked through it to find her clothes and then got dressed and Thomas said, “Now let’s go.”

They said, “Yessir.”

Thomas sighed and they walked to school. As soon as they got to the main entrance, Kyouko asked, “Were you even trying, Thomas?”

Thomas asked, “Trying for what?”

Nora answered, “In the Entrance Exams. Were you trying?”

Thomas answered, “Yes I was. I didn’t do too well. But I still enrolled into the school. Plus, why is a teacher worried about it?”

Kyouko answered, “I think of every student that I teach as my child. But because you are a Course 2 student, I can’t be your teacher.”

Thomas said, “That’s good.”

Nora said, “There aren’t any teachers for Course 2 students. It’s for Course 1 students only is what she’s most likely saying.”

Thomas said, “I’m well aware of that.”

They heard that and said, “You are.”

Thomas said, “Yep. I’ve been watching over people for 10 years.”

They heard that and Nora said, “I see. Well, I’ll see you after the ceremony, sir.”

Thomas said, “I bet that you will.”

The Course 1 students looked at Thomas and Kyouko said, “All of the hatred in the air.”

Thomas heard that and Nora said, “Well, you’ll enjoy it here.”

Thomas asked, “How do you know that?”

Nora answered, “I know you more than you think, sir. I probably know more about you then you know about yourself.”

Thomas heard that and Kyouko said, “She did some research on you before you came to Earth a week ago.”

Thomas sighed and said, “See you later.”

Nora said, “Huh, you are leaving already.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Thomas walked away and Nora walked into the school and Kyouko went to her classroom waiting for her students to appear.

While Thomas was walking around, the Student Council President appeared and asked, “Are you a new student?”

Thomas answered, “I’m afraid so.”

The Student Council President asked, “Why do you sound depressed?”

Thomas answered, “I’m not depressed. This is how I normally talk. But if it sounds like I’m depressed, I’m sorry.”

She said, “I doubt that. But you sound like a nice man.”

Thomas said, “And you look like a nice young lady yourself.”

She said, “Thank you. I’m the Student Council President, Zebina Sitri. It’s nice to meet you.”

Thomas said, “I’m Thomas Graves, it’s nice to meet you as well.”

He bowed and then looked up with only his eyes and saw a UMS (Ultimate Magic System) on her wrist and said to himself, “As I thought. She has a UMS.”

Thomas’ phone rang and Thomas picked up and said, “Hello.”

Sayuri asked, “Is this Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Yes, this is Thomas.”

Sayuri said, “Today after school, head to 4th Clover Technology. We dropped off a little toy for you there.”

Thomas heard that and said, “OK. I’ll be there right after school. What is this little toy that you are talking about?”

Sayuri answered, “Can’t spoil the surprise Special Lieutenant. Have fun.”

Thomas heard that and she hung up and Zebina asked, “Is everything alright?”

Thomas answered, “Everything is fine. I have somewhere to go after school is all.”

Zebina said, “I see. Well, hold up, you are the one that aced the written exam.”

Thomas said, “I believe that would be me. And failed the Practical Skills part of the exam. Being able to enroll here is only luck on my part.”

Zebina said, “Luck?”

Thomas said, “Yes, luck.”

A Student Council Secretary started running toward them and Zebina said, “So you are the one that….”

The Student Council Secretary said, “President, it’s time for rehearsal.”

She looked at Thomas and then Zebina and asked, “Wait, am I interrupting anything?”

Zebina answered, “Yes you are.”

Thomas said, “Nope, I was just about to leave.”

Thomas bowed to them and then left and Zebina looked at him and said, “He’s such a handsome young man.”

The Student Council Secretary said, “Yes he is. But you have bigger issues to deal with.”

Zebina said, “You are right about that. Let’s go rehearse then.”

They left into the school and 10 minutes later, the bell rang and all of the students started to enter the auditorium and Thomas walked in and said to himself, “Hm, it seems that the front half are all Flowers and the back half are all Weeds. The discrimination is real up in here.”

Thomas sat in the corner of the room and closed his eyes for a while.

Then 3 girls appeared and asked, “Is the seat next to you available?”

Thomas heard that and turned his head toward them and answered, “Be my guest.”

They sat down and said, “Thank you.”

Thomas said, “No problem.”

While they were talking to each other, the girl next to Thomas said, “Um, I’m Maya Sakamoto. It’s nice to meet you.”

The girl next to Maya said, “Hello, I’m Rena Okamura. It’s nice to meet you.”

The girl next to Rena said, “I’m Mariko Teshima and it’s nice to meet you.”

Thomas heard them and said, “I’m Thomas Graves, it’s nice to meet you 3 as well.”

They heard that and said, “Hm, Thomas Graves, huh. Sounds like an American name.”

Thomas said, “That’s because I am American. I moved to Japan recently.”

They heard that and said, “Isn’t America a good place to be? Why did you move here?”

Thomas answered, “Well, Japan is where I was born. Along with the rest of my family. But everyone is dead now except for my little sister.”

Rena asked, “How?”

Thomas answered, “You don’t need to know that.”

They heard that and said, “But I think that you should talk about your past. It would make you happier.”

Thomas said, “Wrong, it’ll anger me.”

Mariko asked, “Why?”

Thomas answered, “For what they did to my sister. So let’s not talk about it.”

Maya said, “OK. We’ll stop.”

Thomas said, “Thank you.”

The speeches began and then Nora appeared on the stage and said, “Welcome to Atlas Academy everybody. I’m Nora Agares, the Class Representative.”

Everyone started cheering and Thomas started clapping and Nora said, “Well, everyone that introduced themselves today all wish you all the best of luck, including me. So I have a little something for you all.”

She read a poem to them and then bowed.

Thomas heard that and looked at the stage and everyone stood up and Thomas sat there and Maya asked, “What’s wrong, Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Nothing.”

Thomas stood up and started clapping and Nora smiled and said to herself, “Sir, you are a little too obvious too read.”

Everyone started walking to their classes with their ID card.

As soon as Thomas got outside of his classroom, the 3 girls stopped and Maya asked, “Is this your classroom, Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Yep. Let me guess, this is your classroom as well.”

They said, “Yep. How’d you know?”

Thomas answered, “You stopped with me.”

They said, “That doesn’t mean anything. We could have stopped here because we’re your friends.”

Thomas said, “That could be true as well. I’m not that smart.”

Rena asked, “Why would you say that?”

Thomas answered, “It’s true.”

Mariko asked, “Would you like to check out the classroom?”

Thomas answered, “Nope, I’m waiting for someone to appear.”

Maya asked, “Who are you waiting for?”

Thomas answered, “Let’s just say a person that annoys me.”

Mariko said, “The suspense is real up in here.”

Thomas smiled and said, “You truly are funny.”

Mariko said, “I’m not trying to be.”

Nora appeared behind him and they saw that and Nora put her finger by her mouth and Thomas sighed and said, “If that’s the case, then get out from behind me Nora.”

Nora walked forward and said, “Hello Thomas.”

Thomas said, “Now you decide to call me Thomas. It’s about damn time.”

Nora smiled and they laughed and Nora heard that and said, “It seems that you made friends.”

Thomas said, “Yes. It seems that I did.”

Nora walked toward them and whispered, “Did you 3 fall in love with him?”

Thomas looked at them and they answered, “Nope.”

Nora said, “Good, never fall in love with him.”

They heard that and Thomas turned his head toward the window and Nora turned around and said, “Sir, turn your entire body when you want to look out the window.”

Thomas turned his head fast and saw a figure out there and said to himself, “What was that? I thought that I saw someone in a cloak out there.”

Nora asked, “Is something wrong, Thomas?”

Thomas heard that and answered, “No. Nothing’s wrong. Why did you want to see me after the Opening Ceremony?”

Nora answered, “To annoy you a little before we meet again.”

Thomas said, “Oh well, after school, I’ll be heading toward 4th Clover Technology to pick up a little toy.”

Nora said, “A little toy. Like a dildo.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Nope. I really don’t know. They said that it’s a surprise.”

Nora said, “It’s probably a dildo.”

They started laughing and Thomas said, “It’s not funny at all.”

Nora said, “It’s hilarious. But I’ll stop for my lord.”

Thomas shook his head and then the Student Council President and Vice-President appeared and Thomas looked at them and Nora said, “So Thomas, are you dating already?”

Thomas answered, “Nope. You ask them if they fell in love with me and they say no. And then you ask the same exact question to me. What the hell are you thinking?”

Nora answered, “Nothing. But you enjoy me annoying you, sir.”

Thomas said, “Stop calling me sir.”

Nora said, “OK Thomas.”

Zebina said, “You truly are the opposite of what Irus told me. You aren’t a nice man at all.”

Thomas sighed and said, “The girl from the Engagement Party. Yeah, she doesn’t know me at all.”

Mariko said, “So, how do you 2 know each other?”

Nora answered, “I’m Thomas’ maid.”

Thomas said, “Now this is just getting out of hand.”

The Student Council Vice-President asked, “Why are you 2 so attached to each other?”

Nora answered, “I love him.”

Thomas said, “She annoys the shit out of me.”

Someone called Thomas and Thomas turned around and put his finger by his ear and said, “This is Thomas Graves speaking. How may I help you?”

Sayuri answered, “One more thing. After you are done getting the little toy from 4th Clover Technology, go to the Wannabe Dojo. You won’t regret it.”

Thomas said, “So after I get this thing that you are talking about, you want me to go to a dojo. What the hell for?”

Sayuri answered, “It’s to train you in martial arts. Ancient Magic in particular.”

Thomas said, “I see. That’s good enough. I’m willing to go.”

Sayuri said, “Good. I’ll be waiting for you there. I’ll tell my friend that you’ll be coming.”

Thomas said, “OK.”

She hung up and Thomas said, “Shit. When am I ever going to be free to sleep?”

Everyone laughed and then the Student Council Vice-President asked, “What is a Course 1 student serving a Course 2 student for?”

Nora answered, “Thomas is a nice man. He is also very strong. I doubt that there is anyone that could beat him.”

Thomas said, “Hey now. Don’t be saying things like that. I may look strong, but I’m not all that you think.”

Zebina said, “Well, it seems that you are not what the report says that you are. If you truly are Thomas Graves, then challenge the strongest student in the 3rd year, Xena Bael.”

Thomas heard that and the Student Council Vice-President said, “And there is no backing out of it now.”

Thomas heard that and looked at Nora and said, “You gotta be kidding me, Nora.”

Everyone heard that and Nora said, “I’m sorry.”

Thomas turned his head and said, “When and where? I’ll be there.”

Zebina answered, “Tomorrow after school and in the practice arena.”

Thomas looked at Nora and said, “I’ve been telling you since I woke up, but I’m going to say it one last time, Nora. I’m going to kill you.”

Nora laughed and said, “No you won’t, sir. You’ll need me.”

Thomas sighed and said, “Will you leave my life? You seriously are giving me a migraine.”

Nora said, “Nope.”

Thomas looked out of the window again and Mariko said, “I think that we should go to class now, Thomas.”

Thomas turned his head slowly and saw the figure in a dark blue cloak again and said, “Yeah, let’s do that.”

They entered the classroom and Thomas smiled at them and Nora said, “See, he’s a nice guy.”

As soon as they got into their classroom, Thomas started making his schedule. He made it by using a keyboard which is rare to see.

Mariko asked, “What are you doing, Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Creating my schedule. Why do you ask?”

Maya answered, “It’s just rare to see anyone manually do anything these days. They using use a virtual keyboard to do stuff nowadays.”

Thomas said, “Well, I’m used to typing things. I’ve never tried to use anything else besides a keyboard.”

They heard that and the man in front of him said, “And you type faster than I ever saw anyone type.”

Thomas looked up and continued typing his schedule and the man said, “Oh, my bad. I’m Unkei Masuda. I specialise in Combat Magic.”

Thomas said, “I’m Thomas Graves. I am planning on being a Magic Engineer. Even with my weakness of practical skills. I’m still capable of using magic.”

They laughed and Unkei said, “OK Thomas. You can call me Unkei.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Mariko said, “So Thomas, tomorrow you have a match with the strongest student in the school. How will you do?”

Thomas looked at her and answered, “I’m going to demolish her like I did with the person that kidnapped my sister and forced her into a marriage.”

They said, “I see. You demolished him.”

Thomas answered, “Yep.”

Thomas finished making his schedule as soon as the bell rang and then their guidance counselor appeared and said, “Welcome to Atlas Academy everyone. I’m Ayase Matsui, your guidance counselor along with Class 1-A. Today, you all will be taking a tour of the classes that you are capable of taking. But because the budget is low, the Course 2 students won’t be capable of being taught by teachers. You’ll have to teach yourself. Well, let’s all enjoy our 3 years here. So let’s start the tour.”

Everyone heard that and started walking around listening to whoever was the teacher for the classes.

As soon as they were done with the tours, they went to the cafeteria and got themselves some lunch and Mariko said, “The Magic Engineering teacher was really explicit. She was very persuasive I should say.”

Thomas said, “You could say that again.”

Mariko said, “I think that I might take part in the Magic Engineering classes now.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Very persuasive indeed. Even though I already chose what I wanted to be.”

Unkei said, “Yep. You chose before you even took the tour.”

Thomas said, “That’s because I love creating magic.”

Maya said, “I bet that you do.”

Rena said, “Of course he does. I’ve read a story about you 10 years ago.”

Thomas asked, “Was it a good story?”

Rena answered, “Nope. It was a sad story.”

Mariko asked, “What are you talking about?”

Rena answered, “The Graves War XXV. Thomas was the trump card to end the war.”

Thomas said, “Yep. But ended up losing the war anyway. Everyone in the Graves Clan died. Including me.”

Unkei asked, “How are you alive?”

Thomas answered, “I was given a second chance with life.”

Nora appeared and said, “Thomas.”

Thomas said, “Here comes the troublemaker.”

Maya said, “Don’t say that.”

Rena said, “Well, she is the cause for him having to fight the strongest student in the school.”

Unkei said, “Not cool bro. Not cool at all.”

Mariko said, “I would say that as well.”

Nora stopped by the table and said, “Hello, I’m Nora Agares. It’s nice to meet you.”

Unkei said, “I’m Unkei Masuda. It’s nice to meet you as well. Is she your sister?”

Nora answered, “Nope. We’re business partners.”

Thomas said, “Stop changing the damn story. Stick with one and make sure you stick to it.”

Nora said, “I’m a sex toy.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “What the hell?”

Unkei said, “She’s hot man. I don’t blame you.”

Thomas said, “Shut up.”

Course 1 students appeared and said, “Ms. Agares, let’s find another table.”

Nora said, “I rather sit here with my brother.”

Thomas heard that and Unkei said, “You are right, Thomas. She totally is a troublemaker.”

Thomas said, “Yes she is.”

Nora said, “Don’t be so mean to me.”

Thomas sighed and the Course 1 students said, “You know that he’ll never protect you because he’s a Course 2 student right. Course 2 students are only reserves.”

Thomas sighed and walked away saying, “See you all later.”

Nora said, “Wait.”

Mariko said, “Thomas.”

Unkei asked, “Why are you leaving?”

Thomas answered, “I’m done listening to you all bicker over a damn seat. Course 1 students are nothing more than a rotten corpse. Course 2 students have not yet bloomed yet. That doesn’t mean that we’re weak. It only means that we’re born differently than everyone else.”

Nora heard that and Thomas said, “So leave me alone for awhile.”

Thomas walked away with a smile on his face and Nora said to herself, “That’s the King that I know. You will rule the Underworld one day. I promise you that.”

The Course 1 students followed him and they appeared outside and as soon as Thomas got to the gate, the Course 1 students said, “You have a big mouth kid.”

Thomas said, “My mouth speaks for all. But if my mouth deceives me, then what the hell. It seems that I angered you ladies.”

They heard that and said, “You were calling her a troublemaker. I think that you are the troublemaker.”

Thomas said, “Let’s just say that we’re both troublemakers and I’m the one that will stop you from whatever you plan on doing to me.”

They took out their UMS’ and aimed them at Thomas and Thomas saw that and took out his Demon Crusher and they looked at his sword and the magic flew toward him and then the magic hit his sword and Thomas was being pushed back and they laughed and Thomas swung the sword and the magic flew up into the sky and Thomas looked at them and appeared in the middle of all of them and swung his sword and a twister appeared and everyone was sucked up into it and Thomas walked out from underneath it and Mariko saw that and Thomas snapped his fingers and everyone collapsed on to the ground and said, “See you around losers.”

Thomas left to 4th Clover Technology and as soon as he disappeared, the Public Morals Committee Chief and Zebina appeared and asked, “What happened here?”

An explosion appeared in the air and sparks of light appeared in the air and they flew around and Zebina looked at them and said, “Someone strong did this.”

A cloaked person appeared by the front gate and said, “Hm, Thomas Graves. I wonder what his true goal is.”

The cloaked person disappeared and Zebina said, “Find the person that did this now.”

Maya said, “Damn, he’s strong as hell.”

Rena said, “He might just stand a chance against her.”

Nora said, “Not really. Xena is twice Thomas’ strength. Thomas will need to do a lot of training tonight to become stronger and to beat her.”

Mariko asked, “Is she that strong?”

Nora answered, “Yes. Thomas can’t use any of his spells that are dangerous against her. So she’s stronger than him.”

Rena asked, “What do you think he’ll do to win?”

Nora answered, “I don’t know. But we’ll see.”

They left and Unkei said, “Thomas was really scary back there at the table.”

Nora said, “Yes he was. I really didn’t see that coming.”

Mariko said, “Neither did I. I thought that he was a really nice guy. But he showed his true colors.”

Nora said, “Don’t let that spook you. Thomas is actually a really kind and caring man. You’ll tend to like him.”

Zebina asked, “Where did the culprit go?”

The Public Morals Committee Chief answered, “The culprit left the school already. His name is Thomas Graves.”

Zebina said, “Interesting. Are you training for your match tomorrow against the strongest student in Atlas Academy? You won’t win.”

She said, “You know him.”

Zebina answered, “Yep. We met earlier. And Nora said that he was strong. And that no one is capable of beating him. So let’s see about this challenge.”

They started laughing and then Nora said, “See you all tomorrow.”

They said, “Yep.”

They all went their own ways and went home.

5: The Little Toy; Wannabe Dojo
The Little Toy; Wannabe Dojo

While Thomas was walking to 4th Clover Technology, Melina was walking toward LINE FRIENDS STORE with everyone in Michael’s Peerage except for Michael himself. Melina asked, “What are we looking for today?”

They answered, “Chicken, beef, turkey, cheese, bread, drinks. All that good stuff.”

Melina said, “I see. That’s good. Let’s start by entering LINE FRIENDS STORE.”

Thomas saw them and said, “Look at what we have here. It’s Melina Graves and her friends.”

They heard that and turned around and saw Thomas and asked, “Who are you?”

Thomas smiled and Melina answered, “That is my older brother, Thomas Graves. The man that saved me from the Devil.”

Everyone looked at him and said, “Oh, thank you for saving her.”

Thomas said, “No problem. Enjoy yourselves now.”

Thomas left them and Melina said, “Not much of a talker.”

They said, “I can tell.”

The man in the dark blue cloak appeared and asked, “Where are you headed, Thomas Graves? I, Dullahan, will find out what you are up to.”

The Angels heard that and looked at the cloaked being and asked, “Why are you after, Thomas?”

Dullahan answered, “I cannot tell you that. But you’ll find out shortly.”

Dullahan disappeared and continued to follow him and they asked, “Should we warn him?”

Melina answered, “Nope. He already knows that he’s being followed. But I have no idea what that man is thinking.”

They heard that and asked, “How don’t you know what your own brother is thinking?”

Melina answered, “Thomas was born with the ability of Gods. He’s capable of taking out an entire army with one attack. Not even our family knows what that man is thinking right now. But he has a goal though. But no one knows what that goal is.”

They said, “I see.”

While they were talking, Dullahan followed Thomas to 4th Clover Technology. Thomas looked around and said, “That cloaked figure is still following me. I wonder what that person wants.”

Dullahan asked, “Where are you going, Thomas?”

They appeared in front of 4th Clover Technology and Thomas said, “Here it is.”

Thomas walked inside of it and Kyouko said, “Thomas, you made it.”

Thomas said, “Yeah, the 303rd said that they dropped something off here. And told me to pick it up.”

Kyouko said, “Oh, that’s right. They came last night. Bring out the suitcase.”

They said, “Yes ma’am.”

They started running around and Thomas looked at them and then said, “Tell me something, Kyouko. Do you know anything or anyone with a dark blue cloak?”

Kyouko answered, “Yes I do. Dullahan’s are strong beings. Why do you ask?”

Thomas answered, “One of them have been following me all day.”

Kyouko heard that and said, “So you are on the brink of death.”

Thomas said, “Brink of death, huh?”

Kyouko asked, “What did you do?”

Thomas answered, “I think Hades figured out that Nora is trying to make me the King of the Underworld. But who really cares? I’m immortal. Like you.”

Kyouko smiled and said, “Yep.”

They brought the suitcase to Thomas and said, “Here you go, sir.”

Thomas looked at the suitcase and Kyouko said, “It seems that you have a match against the strongest student in Atlas Academy tomorrow. I think that this will help in your fight against Xena Bael. The strongest Young Devil in the Underworld. We hope for your survival tomorrow.”

Thomas looked at the suitcase and put it on the table and opened it and they saw the weapons and Thomas said, “Heaven’s Gate.”

Kyouko said, “That’s what they are called.”

Thomas said, “These guns were used by the very first magician, Sayoko Yanagita. Also known as the Strongest and Most Beautiful Magician In the World.”

Kyouko heard that and said, “Sayoko is a teacher at Atlas Academy as well. I wonder if she knows that you have her weapons.”

Thomas said, “Don’t know. But we’ll find out sooner or later.”

Kyouko said, “Well, she is the host of the battle arena. So if you want to fight someone, you go to her.”

Thomas said, “Like I care.”

Thomas closed the suitcase and said, “It seems that I have to go. Sayuri is waiting for me.”

Kyouko asked, “Where are you headed?”

Thomas answered, “Wannabe Dojo.”

Kyouko asked, “Why?”

Thomas answered, “To learn Ancient Magic.”

Kyouko said, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Thomas said, “I’m not kidding. See you later, Kyouko.”

Kyouko said, “OK.”

Thomas walked away and as soon as the door opened, Dullahan and said, “You are not on the verge of death.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Why are you after me?”

Dullahan answered, “I, Miya Dullahan, am here to offer my services to you, sir.”

Thomas asked, “Why?”

Miya answered, “You will take over the Underworld one day. Hades has become corrupted. You must free the Underworld.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Me, free the Underworld.”

Miya answered, “Yes. Free the Underworld from Hades. But you will need an army.”

Thomas said, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Miya said, “I’m not kidding you, sir. You will be the hero of the Underworld.”

Thomas asked, “How long has he been corrupted?”

Miya answered, “4 months. 6 Devils are already dead. And they were all good people.”

Thomas heard that and asked, “Where are they now?”

Miya answered, “In the Underworld. They were buried in the cemetery.”

Thomas heard that and said, “OK. After I’m done with my duties at Wannabe Dojo, I’ll go to the Underworld and relieve everyone from Hades. And revive the 6 dead Devils.”

Miya said, “You can’t be serious. You need an army to verse an army.”

Thomas looked at her and said, “Listen to me. I may not look it, but I’m stronger than an army. But I’m also up against a God. The God of the Underworld to be exact. Who knows what’ll happen?”

Miya heard that and said, “You are prepared to die.”

Thomas said, “I’m already dead. You can’t kill a dead man. But yes, I am prepared to die.”

Miya heard that and said, “So you are going to Hades’ layer after you are done with whatever you are about to do?”

Thomas answered, “Yes. And if you want to meet me again, meet me at my house. There should be a Devil there now. Her name is Nora Agares. Tell her that I sent you there. But do not tell her about this.”

Miya said, “Understood.”

Thomas smiled and walked away and Miya grabbed him and Thomas stopped and turned his head and asked, “What’s….”

As soon as he said “What’s”, Miya kissed him and Thomas saw that and she backed away and said, “Good luck sir.”

Thomas looked at her and she disappeared and Thomas said, “Damn, she kissed me.”

5 minutes later, he called Sayuri and Sayuri said, “Sayuri speaking.”

Thomas said, “It’s Thomas. I’m on my way now.”

Sayuri said, “OK. They already know that you are coming. We’re waiting for you.”

Thomas said, “OK.”

He hung up and the head of the Wannabe Clan, Kayoko Wannabe asked, “Who was that?”

Sayuri answered, “The man that I mentioned earlier, Thomas Graves. He’s on his way now.”

Kayoko said, “He probably got caught up into something, right.”

Sayuri said, “Well, I did send him to 4th Clover Technology to pick up something strong. His UMS.”

Kayoko said, “The Ultimate Magic System, right.”

Sayuri said, “Yep. Have you heard of Heaven’s Gate?”

Kayoko answered, “Yes. Heaven’s Gate was the first UMS in the world and is also the strongest in the world. Why do you ask?”

Sayuri answered, “Thomas is now the possessor of Heaven’s Gate. Well, both Heaven’s Gates that is.”

Kayoko asked, “Why does Thomas have it? Isn’t Sayoko still alive?”

Sayuri answered, “The reason Thomas has it is because Sayoko trusts him more than you think. Plus, he’s been issued to fight the strongest student in Atlas Academy tomorrow.”

Kayoko said, “Xena Bael, huh. That’s going to be a tough battle.”

Thomas appeared and said, “I’m finally here after 30 minutes of walking around.”

Sayuri said, “Welcome Thomas.”

Kayoko looked at Thomas and said, “He’s a handsome young man at fact.”

Sayuri said, “Yep.”

Thomas looked at them and asked, “Did I miss something?”

Sayuri answered, “Not at all. We were just talking about you. And Heaven’s Gate.”

Thomas pulled out the suitcase from behind him and said, “You mean these.”

Sayuri said, “Yep. Well, this is the boss of the Wannabe Dojo and head of the Wannabe Clan.”

Thomas said, “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Thomas Graves.”

Kayoko said, “I’m Kayoko Wannabe. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Thomas.”

Thomas said, “So, what type of magic do you guys teach people?”

Kayoko answered, “Ninjutsu. And the strongest Ancient Magic of them all. Summoning Magic. We will teach you how to master it. Better than you’ve ever done before in your entire life.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Huh.”

Sayuri said, “And she forgot to mention Transformation Magic as well.”

Thomas said, “I see. Ancient Magic is amazing.”

Kayoko said, “Yes it is. Well, you do have a match against the strongest student in Atlas Academy. According to my calculations, Xena Bael is known as The Unstoppable Queen. She has been undefeated since she entered Atlas Academy.”

Thomas asked, “How strong is she?”

Sayuri answered, “She’s stronger than everyone in the school combined.”

Thomas said, “Sounds like me. I’m stronger than an entire army so a school is no different.”

Kayoko said, “There is a difference, Thomas. School students are apprentices to the strong. Weaklings that discriminate against each other. The army’s have professional magicians that are willing to kill people for their country.”

Thomas said, “That is true.”

Sayuri looked at Thomas and asked, “Why are you shaking?”

Thomas answered, “I’m excited about my next battle. Which is tonight after I’m done here.”

Kayoko asked, “What would that be?”

Thomas answered, “I can’t tell you.”

Sayuri heard that and looked at him and said, “It’s probably a dangerous battle.”

Thomas said, “Yep. A battle that no human is capable of winning. That is all that I can tell you.”

Kayoko said, “Well, I guess that it’s alright. We don’t need to know anything. Let’s just begin.”

Thomas said, “OK. Where do we start?”

Kayoko answered, “Ninjutsu.”

She started training them and at Thomas’ house, Miya appeared at the door and knocked on it and waited. Nora asked, “Who is it?”

Miya answered, “Miya Dullahan, Thomas sent me here.”

Nora opened the door and said, “Thomas sent you here. What is a disciple of Hades doing here?”

Miya answered, “Hades has gone corrupt. Killed 6 Devils already within 4 months.”

Nora asked, “Isn’t that normal for him?”

Miya answered, “Nope. He’s supposed to protect the Underworld. Not destroy it.”

Nora said, “I see. So he sent you here. Why did he do that?”

Miya answered, “I work for him and only him now. Is that a problem?”

Nora answered, “Nope. I’m actually just wondering why one of Hades’ strongest disciples betrayed him.”

Miya answered, “I don’t want to destroy the Underworld. It’s my home and I want to protect it.”

Nora asked, “Do you have a plan on attacking Hades?”

Miya answered, “Nope. I was hoping that someone else would have a plan.”

Nora sighed and said, “Life is harsh.”

Miya said, “Yes it is.”

Nora said, “Well, Thomas won’t be home for a while. So I’ll just tell him that you arrived.”

Miya said, “He’s training right now. For his fight that you put him in.”

Nora said, “Yep. I know that. It was an accident.”

Miya said, “Xena Bael, huh. How strong is she?”

Nora answered, “Stronger than every Young Devil in the Underworld. She’s a true Devil. Never defeated.”

Miya said, “That’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

Nora said, “Yes it is.”

6: The Realm of Hades
The Realm of Hades

2 hours later, Kayoko said, “That’s all for today, Thomas. See you tomorrow.”

Thomas said, “Yep. See you tomorrow.”

Sayuri looked at Thomas and asked, “Where are you headed?”

Thomas answered, “Nowhere special. Just my own dungeon.”

Sayuri heard that and said, “Your own dungeon.”

Thomas said, “Yep. See you tomorrow.”

They said, “OK. See you tomorrow.”

Thomas walked away and they looked at him and said, “That man is planning something big. But don’t know what that is though.”

Sayuri called his house phone and Nora answered it and asked, “How may I help you?”

Sayuri answered, “This is Major General Sayuri Yamazaki, I’m calling to say that Thomas might be a little longer than expected.”

Nora asked, “What do you mean by that, miss?”

Sayuri answered, “Thomas went to battle with someone. But he wouldn’t tell us who.”

Nora heard that and asked, “Is that boy insane? Do you know where he went?”

Sayuri answered, “He mentioned something about his dungeon.”

Nora heard that and said, “His dungeon. I don’t know what you mean by that. He doesn’t have one. But he has a dimension. They are 2 different things.”

Sayuri looked at Kayoko and said, “So he lied to us. So what is he really up to?”

Nora answered, “That’s what I want to know.”

Sayuri said, “When you figure it out, please tell me.”

Nora said, “Understood ma’am.”

Sayuri said, “And if he comes home later, please tell him to call me.”

Nora said, “Sure thing.”

Sayuri said, “Talk to you later.”

Nora said, “Talk to you later.”

Sayuri hung up and Nora said, “Thomas, what are you up to?”

Nora looked around the house and asked, “Is there a secret room that I don’t know about? I created this house.”

Miya looked at her and said to herself, “Hurry up Thomas. You are causing a ruckus up here on Earth.”

While Nora was searching for the secret door that she thinks exists, Thomas appeared in Hades’ Realm. Hades’ Realm is a dark red room with stone monsters everywhere. As soon as he entered it, Hades sensed his presence and said, “Welcome to Hades’ Realm. Who might you be?”

Thomas answered, “I am Thomas Graves. It’s nice to finally meet you sir.”

Hades smiled and said, “Yep.”

He pulled the chains of the girls he captured in the Underworld and they screamed and Thomas heard that and Hades asked, “Would you like a girl to play with, Thomas? I heard a lot about you from the other Gods. You truly are a Demon that fights for the people.”

Thomas answered, “I’m good sir. I’m not like you of course.”

Hades said, “Well, I guess that’s where we’re different. I love women. I guess that you love men.”

Thomas laughed and said, “No, no, no, not at all. I’m into women. But not ones that I don’t choose, man.”

Hades said, “Oh, I see. That makes sense. Come closer, I want to see your face.”

Thomas walked closer and the stones started to shatter and Thomas looked around and heard roars and groans and Hades said, “Stand down guys. He’s a guest of mine.”

They heard that and backed away and Thomas smiled and said, “You even got pets.”

Hades said, “Yep. Especially Cerberus.”

Thomas said, “I see.”

Thomas appeared close enough for Hades to see his face and the women stared at him and Thomas looked at them and saw Irus and said, “Hm, you really have become a naughty God.”

Hades smiled and said, “You really think so?”

Thomas answered, “Yep. You took a friend of mine hostage.”

Hades heard that and asked, “Who would that be?”

Thomas answered, “I wish that I could tell you. But you’d probably kill her either way.”

Hades smiled and said, “You’re right about that, Thomas. You know me so well. Let me guess, you came here to kill me.”

Thomas said, “Yep. You know me too well.”

Irus looked at him and said to herself, “You aren’t going to win.”

Hades said, “You can’t possibly think that you are capable of defeating me, right? Gods are immortal.”

Thomas said, “So are Zombies. But do you think that is stopping me?”

Hades heard that and said, “You got balls kid. Did you bring an army?”

Thomas answered, “Yes I did. You are looking at him.”

Hades heard that and looked around and asked, “Where?”

Thomas answered, “Me dimwit. I’m a one man army. But if you don’t believe me, then ask every man and woman that I killed.”

Hades looked around and the spirits said, “He’s a monster. He took out 2 armies all by himself. He is capable of destroying the world. Do not allow him to attack you.”

Everyone heard that and Thomas looked at Hades and said, “Do you believe me now?”

Hades answered, “Yes I do. My army up against your army. Graves War XXVI. God vs. Zombie.”

Thomas smiled and said, “OK Hades. Where at?”

Hades answered, “My dimension. But if you do beat me, you’ll end up becoming the King of the Underworld. No, I mean ruler of the Underworld.”

Thomas said, “And this realm will also be mine.”

Hades said, “Exactly. Irus, tell me, have you ever met this man?”

Irus answered, “Yes. He interrupted the Engagement Party between his sister, which was an Angel and my little brother Orpheus Andromalius and killed my brother.”

Hades said, “I see. Let me guess, you want revenge.”

Irus answered, “Nope. Orpheus betrayed our family by doing the wrong things. He had it coming to him.”

Hades said, “He was supposed to rule the Underworld after me. And yet you don’t want revenge.”

She heard that and Thomas said, “She wants revenge, but she’s too afraid to admit it.”

Irus heard that and Hades said, “I see. Well Irus, I will avenge your brother’s death.”

Irus looked at Thomas and asked, “Why are you doing this? What are you planning?”

Thomas answered, “One of us will die. One of us will be knocked out. That is not up to us. It’s up to the fight.”

Zeus appeared and said, “It seems that a ruckus is coming from here.”

Hades said, “Well, let’s just say that a war is about to begin.”

Thomas said, “Between Thomas Graves and Hades and his army.”

Zeus heard that and said, “You gotta be kidding me. You won’t win, Thomas.”

Thomas said, “Who cares about what others think? Someone came to me and asked me to end this corruption. So I will do my job and end it with my life on the line.”

Hades said, “It also seems that if he defeats me, he’ll become the new ruler of the Underworld.”

Zeus heard that and said, “You can’t be serious, Hades. You are accepting his offer.”

Hades answered, “Yes I am, father. Thomas will regret killing the heir to the throne.”

Zeus said, “Everyone watched him kill him. It was one hell of a match. But Thomas, tell me this, why? Why are you going to kill my son?”

Thomas answered, “To save the Underworld and my friends that are in the Underworld.”

Zeus heard that and Thomas said, “Including them.”

Zeus looked at the women in chains and said, “I see. Then let the match begin then.”

Thomas said, “Well, let’s go Hades. Take us to Hell.”

Zeus heard that and Hades jumped down and looked at Thomas and Thomas saw that he was 5 times his height and was fat as hell and said, “Holy shit, Hades. You are ugly as hell.”

Irus said, “Agreed.”

Zeus appeared by the women and teleported them into a different dimension and said, “It’s all yours.”

Hades grabbed Thomas and they teleported to Hell’s Grave. Hades said, “Welcome to Hell’s Grave. Where I fight the people that disobey me. No one is capable of defeating me, Thomas. They aren’t even capable of defeating them.”

His army started to appear and Thomas looked around and saw Medusa and then closed his eyes and Hades smiled and rang the bell.

7: Hell's Gate; The Battle Begins
Hell's Gate; The Battle Begins

Hades grabbed Thomas and they teleported to Hell’s Grave. Hades said, “Welcome to Hell’s Grave. Where I fight the people that disobey me. No one is capable of defeating me, Thomas. They aren’t even capable of defeating them.”

His army started to appear and Thomas looked around and saw Medusa and then closed his eyes and Hades smiled and rang the bell. As soon as the bell rang, everyone in the army started attacking him and Hades stepped back and said, “Let’s see how you handle this. An army vs. one man. It’s impossible and you know it.” 

Thomas opened his suitcase and took out his UMS and Hades saw that and Thomas adjusted it and started shooting at them and while that was happening, Thomas’ body was getting injured pretty badly and then Cerberus appeared and shot out fire out of its 3 mouths and Thomas jumped over the fire and continued shooting them and then Hades grinned and Cerberus looked up and shot fireballs at him and Thomas saw that and Thomas aimed his guns forward and pulled the trigger and flew back and Hades appeared behind him and swung his chains at him and hit his back and Thomas screamed and Hades said, “Now you decide to scream like a bitch.”

Thomas coughed out blood and Hades grabbed Thomas’ head and slammed it into the ground and said, “You really are stubborn.”

Thomas smiled and said, “Look at you. Attacking when your men are on the brink of death. And when your opponent is weakened.”

Hades said, “You can say that again.”

Hades tossed him up into the air and Cerberus shot fireballs at him and Thomas saw that and took his guns and aimed them behind him and pulled the trigger and flew forward to get away from Hades and the fireballs and as soon as he got far from them, he started his attack again and then Medusa jumped up and Thomas saw that and Thomas started shooting at her and as soon as Medusa got close to him, she bit his waist and Thomas grinned and he started turning to stone and Thomas looked at her and moved his lips without making words coming out and his body started to change temperature and Medusa felt that and screamed and she let go of him and Thomas smiled and shot her in the head and her head blew up and everyone on the ground turned to stone and Hades saw that and grinned and said, “Die, Thomas.”

Thomas landed on the ground and put his arms out and said, “OK. Let’s see what’ll happen.”

Hades heard that and Thomas opened his mouth and a dark purple lights appeared around his 2 hands and in his mouth appeared and Hades said, “No. Don’t you dare use it.”

Thomas laughed in his mind and said to himself, “Athena, are you ready? Your time is almost up.”

Athena heard that and answered, “Yessir. I’m prepared.”

Thomas smiled and the beams flew into the sky and it turned dark purple and Hades ran toward Thomas and started swinging his chains at him and the chains hit his body and then the beams started flying down. Hades saw that and yelled, “You bastard.”

Thomas smiled and while they were falling to the ground, on Earth, it was morning already. Nora walked to Thomas’ room and saw that he wasn’t there still and asked, “Where’d you go, sir? You didn’t come home at all.”

Miya looked at Nora and sighed and walked away. Nora made breakfast and then ate. She then left her house to school and as soon as she got to the school, Zebina appeared and asked, “How are you doing today?”

Nora didn’t answer and Zebina asked, “Why are you so depressed, Nora? It’s a new day.”

Nora answered, “Thomas never came home last night.”

Zebina asked, “Why are you so worried about that?”

Nora answered, “We live together.”

Zebina said, “I see. That makes sense. He never came home. And still isn’t home.”

Nora answered, “Yep. He’s not home. And he hasn’t come back from wherever he went yesterday.”

Zebina asked, “Do you even know where he went?”

Nora answered, “Nope, he never told me anything.”

Zeus appeared and said, “Thomas went to Hades’ Realm to challenge Hades. Right now, he’s still fighting Hades.”

They heard that and asked, “What the hell is that man thinking?”

Zeus answered, “He’s protecting the Underworld with his life on the line. This is a battle to see who becomes the ruler of the Underworld.”

They heard that and said, “Ruler of the Underworld? Wait, isn’t that a good thing? No, it’s not a good thing.”

Zeus said, “Of course it’s a good thing, ladies. A new ruler means a new start. A new start means a better beginning. And if a new beginning happens, then the Devils might be free. Especially the females. Well, right now, we need to find the 6 dead Devils for Thomas to revive.”

Nora heard that and said, “You can’t be serious. How could he possibly do that?”

Zeus answered, “Don’t know. But it’ll be one hell of a start.”

Zebina said, “I hope that Thomas finishes up that fight so he could focus on his fight against the strongest student in Atlas Academy.”

Zeus sighed and said, “And that is today.”

Zebina answered, “Yessir.”

Zeus said, “I see. I have a feeling that he won’t make it in time. Well, good luck. Don’t tell Thomas that I told you.”

They said, “Yessir.”

Zeus left to the Underworld and searched for the 6 dead bodies. 3 hours later, he found them and brought them back to Hades’ Realm and stayed there waiting for Thomas to come back. Zebina said, “He went to kill Hades, huh?”

Nora said, “He got balls. But who asked him to kill Hades?”

Zebina looked at the new girl and asked, “Who is she?”

Nora answered, “Miya Dullahan. A former disciple of Hades.”

Zebina said, “Seems suspicious. A new girl appears when Thomas disappears.”

Nora said, “Thomas sent her to the house. Don’t know why though.”

Zebina said, “I see. Personal matters. Or family matters, it really doesn’t matter.”
