“The Fifth Realm: The Human World”

Amidst the night starry skies, at the hospital, two humble and kind-hearted individuals named Francisco Artore, and Ella Artore, the father and mother of Adam, was waiting for his condition, as he was born with a peculiar disease that was somehow not scanned or seen through the observations at all, after a few minutes, the nurses eventually brought him to Ella with glee, knowing that there is nothing wrong with Adam at all even if she herself knew it, but she disregarded it upon the doctor's statement.

"Francisco, look! our baby is all well! i can't believe it.. after so many dire instances.. I never knew that our baby would make it a-alive.. i-im just glad.." as she started to shed tears of joy.

"I-Im glad that our child made it too.. due to the intense crime near our hometown.. I fended off those pricks that were gonna try and break into our home, and steal or probably kidnap you, with who knows what intentions they have, but.. i'm just.. speechless”

“Yet also glad at the same time that Adam made it.. it must be a blessing from the gods, perhaps.. for such an event to be successful at those dire situations like you said.." He replied

After a while, the nurses eventually left Francisco and Ella alone. He started to take out several bottles of liquor and some bags of chips, as she mumbled with a look of concern

"Francisco, did you leave the gun back at the house? Because I hope you did.. I wouldn't want our baby to see such a weapon at such a young age. "

"Gun? yeah, i left it at home, dont worry about it, were safe here in the hospital, no one can barge at our room while you are recovering, i promise that i'll protect you two while you are recovering" He exclaimed

She smiled a bit from his reassurance, as she slowly fell into a deep slumber with Adam in her arms being cradled delicately, while he drinks the liquor bit by bit while guarding them, little did he know that the liquor he bought was really strong and may get him drunk, as he never wanted to get drunk due to how destructive he is when he is drunk at times.

11:31 pm
She heard a loud gunshot echo in the room, she immediately woke up whilst feeling that Adam isn't at her arms anymore, until she saw what she never wanted to see and feared for a long time.

"FRANCISCO!! W-What did you do to our child?! Get away from him!" she shouted.

While he didn't reply as he was drunk after drinking four bottles of strong liquor, and then shot Adam's foot, she was terrified yet concerned at the same time that he didn't cry or scream in pain, he then exerted some sort of demonic power that he used to sharpen his gaze towards his father who shot him at the foot, She was surprised yet scared at the terrifying aura being exerted through the air, as she sees him being absolutely terrified and begging for forgiveness from his son by kneeling down and bowing to him like a deity, while repeating the same word over and over again

"P-Please forgive me, i-i-i won't do it again, p-please spare me!" he muttered.

In a few minutes, police barged at the room, while pointing their weapons towards him, one police officer then gently sat beside her bed as he questioned what happened at the whole ordeal earlier and why is Francisco bowing to his son like a deity who has high authority towards him.
