The Nihilist Dragon Emperor

Prologue

June 16, Kouh...

Forgive me Father for I have sinned...

I have let an evil creature poison my heart. In the name of this demon, I broke my oath and betrayed everything sacred to me. You are well aware of the creature of which I speak—Issei Hyoudou, the Sekiryuutei. Nay, he transcended mere titles; he embodied an abomination of existence itself.

I am sure you are curious to know how it happened. How this monster terrorized everyone and how the three factions and gods around the world are unaware of it.

Perhaps this way my heart can find solace.

The saga begins at Kuroi no Sora, an orphanage nestled on the fringes of Kouh, Japan.

In the year 2006, a broken man sought to relinquish his son to the care of Kuroi no Sora, deeming himself unfit to raise the child. The child was none other than the creature, Issei. The man, Gorou Houdou, a 32-year-old widower, had tragically lost his wife during the birth of Issei Hyoudou. Enveloped by grief and alcohol, he blamed the monstrous Issei for his beloved's demise.

Reluctantly, we welcomed the young boy. He had brown hair and vacant green eyes. An air of peculiarity surrounded him, yet we embraced him nonetheless.

However, the orphanage harboured a dark secret—it housed not only human children but also beings from the supernatural realms: devils, angels, fallen angels, Youkai, and vampires. The existence of the supernatural was an undeniable reality.

The orphanage's true purpose was sinister. Unspeakable experiments were conducted on the children, moulding them into tools for a sinister organization known as the Khaos Brigade, orchestrated by Ophis, the infinity dragon god of nothingness. Yet, the true puppeteer behind this malevolent organization was Rizviem Lucifer, grandson of the original Lucifer. His insidious machinations remain veiled in mystery, his intentions shrouded in darkness.

I cannot write what experiments were conducted as it will be too much for my stomach to handle. Most who failed to handle the experiments were killed straight away without any remorse.

Except that there existed a boy whose tongue held the power to shatter souls, a power so formidable that he remained sedated with sleeping pills. Feared as a monstrous being by his captors, he was confined deep underground.

The teachers' dread of him was so profound that they envisioned him with ten horns and seven heads. Then, a pivotal moment arrived when the boy's resilience overcame the drugs, rousing him from his enforced slumber.

Craftily outwitting his supernatural captors from the Khaos Brigade, he infiltrated the ranks of his fellow pupils, his true identity shrouded in mystery due to the veil of anonymity that enveloped them all.

Disgusted by the facility and its inhabitants, the boy clandestinely conspired to sow seeds of discord, orchestrating a macabre dance of memory theft and psychological torment that would lead them down a path of self-annihilation.

As trust eroded between children and adults alike, paranoia flourished, driving them to turn on each other in a frantic bid to unmask the hidden monster among them.

Recalling this grim fable, a lone voice whispered, "Suspicion festered, each soul desperate to unveil the true face of the malevolent presence."

And I, without a shadow of a doubt, know the identity of that malevolent force... Issei Hyoudou.

I write with perspiration, with trembling hands, that... menace is out there somewhere... doing You Father knows what.
