The clouds were gray as it was raining blood. The skies shook as thunder roared and lightning filled the skies with light. The atmosphere felt heavier, not just because of the downdraft; no, but also because it was mixed with palpable agony.

 The place was filled with bodies lying down scattered as multiple puddles of blood were mixed together with the rain. This made it indistinguishable whose blood was spilled anywhere on the ground. We see two men fighting. A man is down on his knees in front of the other. The skies trembled as they brimmed with sadness, power, and pain. 

We see the fallen man get up. He struggles to get up because he was overwhelmed by the other man's strength, as we see the man struggling to get up again, he shines with the brightness of hope around him. Eventually, he powers through and tries to get up.

However, the struggling man gets interrupted by the other man; he who can be seen as a booming, intimidating silhouette. In that same instance, his head was grabbed by the other silhouette towering over him. He screams with agony. 

"No! Stop! I don't want to see this again!" as the towering man smiled with delight, with the head of the struggling man in his hands.

He smiled as if to convey that he was utterly eager to torture him with even more of his memories. While he holds his head, the tortured man later passes out. The skies quivered with thunder, rain, agony, and blood in the air. The remaining dim light is only getting dimmer.

We go into the passed-out man's head and we see all his memories unfold.

In an unknown, deep, and distant voice...a single sentence explodes through the air.

"Behold the past you were thankful for..."
A deep and menacing voice said.

"What?" the man asked, only to be left in the emptiness, which is the white, endless void.

He walked aimlessly for what seemed like days.

The familiar yet terrified voices in the man's head filled him with anger, regret, and sadness.

The voices disappear as a blinding light fills up the sad and empty void.


 The world is filled with powerful people. There are people destined to become so-called "heroes"  and people to become so-called "villains" who are equipped with powers called "Styles" but, in between. In this world, there is an organization for the people who are abandoned, called "D.E.A.D"; they are otherwise known as the "Delinquent Enrichment/Enhancement Army Department"

Members of D.E.A.D are not known for their kindness or hospitality but they are known as the most reckless government department with a reputation filled with evil and wrong-doing. They simply make up for this bad rep through the recruitment of delinquents or orphans that are in need of money or food. In exchange, they fight and do missions for them. 


As vision is restored, the dark, cold, uncaring void is progressively replaced with a familiar scenery. A new day approaches while the birds are chirping peacefully, and the sun shines brightly.

We see two people walking to the Holy Branches School. It's the first day, and the familiar yet painful smell of high school life permeates through the air as these two enter the main building.

 One looks like the type of person who would rather just be within the four corners of their home: a tall, lanky, pasty man whose short but somehow messy black hair has been half-done, and his clothes look like they were just used yesterday.

 While this lanky man is tall (approximately 6 feet), the other man accompanying him was even taller (approximately 6 feet and 2 inches) and was built like an NFL player with the matching radiance of his personality and better-maintained short brown hair. They talk and laugh loudly as they go inside.

"Hey... uhm... DC, is anything up? You seem gloomier than usual." The NFL player-looking man said to his lanky and pasty friend whose name we now know as "DC" 

"Well yeah, I'm fine. I just feel kind of uneasy. It just feels like something's crawling up my back, but every day you seem more concerned for me. Is everything going alright over there in your minuscule brain, TJ?"  DC replied to the NFL player-looking man who we now know as "TJ". An appropriate name for someone who looks like an NFL player.

"Well yeah I'm fine too. I'm just concerned as a friend y'know? I just wanted to let you know that I'm always there for ya!". TJ said to him, though DC stopped in his tracks for a second as he looks stunned.

"Hey DC, you awake? You better have not been too stunned at my so-inspiring comment. C'mon, I need you awake so I can talk to you DC!" He said to DC while shaking him.

 "Oh man, look at that girl over there. I wonder who she is?".  DC replied, in awe of a familiar figure in the distance.

 "Ohohoh man, are you crushing on Arlea over there? Dude, you've got one hell of a type! She's my childhood friend. She has white hair and everything! Even the type of personality that you love!" TJ replied to DC while laughing loudly. DC hastily tried to reply, trying to find the right words... and he failed. 

"You alright? Too captured by her "beauty"? Jeez, you gain feelings too damn easily" TJ laughs as he continues his sentence.

 "You must have a death sentence or something. If she loves somebody, she's fully forced into it! She'll treat you like her personal love teddy bear. But, at least she isn't a dick. Which is, of course, good...but she's literally gonna kill you. No joke." TJ replied to DC who was still struggling with trying to figure out what to say.

"God damn it. Fuck you, TJ. Let's just go to class already" DC sighed angrily. 

"Alright, alright, fine. I'm fine with doing either, really. I like teasing you in class anyway soooo..." TJ replied to DC while laughing loudly.

 "Whoa what do you mean by that, TJ? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, YOU NFL-LOOKING COCK?!" DC Replied to TJ worriedly, and about to piss his pants.

  TJ replies with a slight laugh as he says "Well, you're about to find out!"

A few moments later, they enter their classroom.

 DC asked TJ "Hey so uhm TJ, what class is Arlea in?". TJ giggles a little bit while answering his question.

 "Well, she's in our class. So, try not to be caught staring at her too much!"  TJ fled to his other friends who were minding their own business, running away from DC while he was trying to catch him.

"God damn it TJ, you fucking bitch!" DC screams at TJ with anger as he was shaking his fist.  

 "Why would you call your own friend a fucking bitch!?" TJ asked, hurt by Riki's insult.

DC then replied as he felt confused. "What do you mean? You were fine with me calling you an "NFL Looking Fuck" earlier."

"Uhm, actually. It was 'NFL Looking COCK' not Fuck. Get your facts ri-"

Right as they were conversing, the closed classroom door swung open as a woman with the glow of a goddess entered. However, this glow immediately turned into something more sinister. The radiance of her aura quickly singed the air within the classroom.


 Everyone inside, including TJ and DC, turned their heads toward her and immediately felt a sense of dread. As quickly as she arrived, all of the fun went out just as fast. Clearly, she was someone with an undeniably threatening aura, akin to that of a butcher. It was almost as if she had stepped into her slaughterhouse. The classroom door serves as her entrance to an abattoir...

 Then, she walked towards TJ...
