It's now night time. Where right now I'm always with my family for dinner.

  That's the principle I always put to myself, no matter how far I am from earth, I will come back home for dinner on the weekend before going out again the next morning.

  That's my responsibility as the chosen one. As the hero

  And today, the dining room atmosphere is warm and cozy, just like how it usually is. Just enjoying dinner with my parents, my sister, and my little sister.

  Just like how I always experienced it.

  Just like before.

  "Syed! " My mother lightly shouted at me, snapping me out of my thoughts

  "Y-Yes, mother? " I asked while blinking my eyes several times, trying to get my mind back to reality

  "Huff, eat your food dear, it's getting cold"

  ". . . Mom, you know I can heat up this food with my blessing right? "

  "Syed, eating it right away means that you are thanking your mother for making these meals. Don't be rude" My father corrected me with a gentle tone

  ". . . Sorry, I just had too much going on inside my head"

  ". . . Syed, you always said it. If you had anything in your mind, you can just tell mom and dad, or Suraya, or me as well" My sister, Aisyah tries to offer her help to me

  ". . . You sure? "

  "Come on, who did you think was watching your ass back when mom and dad were at work? But seriously, you can just tell us here if something is bugging your mind, ok? We're your family. "

  ". . . I. . . "

  I want to tell you, sis. About what I had faced all this time.

  I want to express it to our parents about what's really going on.

  I want to express it to my stubborn lil sis as well about what's plaguing my mind.

  But I can't. Not yet.

  I'm sorry.

  "Huff. . . It's just about those Lunarians" I told them my 'problem' to them in a heavy tone

  "Err. . . So, which alien race is this now? Is it another bloodthirsty race again?" Suraya asks me dumbfounded while chewing her food

  "Just a peaceful one, but they had a problem about their nature, and other races want to invade their planet for their resources "

  "Syed, you can worry about them later ok? Now finish your dinner first dear" My mother looks at me with her gentle eyes

  "Don't worry Mom, I can heat it up using my blessing, and I'll make sure it's the same heat as the first time" I told her while giving her a soft smile, hoping to reassure her

  "Eating warm food using your blessing isn't the same as eating your food from your mother's warmth dear, now eat up or I'll feed you myself"

  "Eek! C-Come on mother, I'm 18 already, did you really need to do that? " I asked her feeling goosebumps with my cheeks getting slightly red from the embarrassment

  "If you insist on not eating it now, your mother here had no other choice unfortunately" my mother said while smirking gently

  "Huff. . . Fine"

  "Pfft. . . " Suraya tried to stiffen her laugh at me since her mouth was full of food

  "Don't you dare laugh now, I don't want you accidentally spitting your rice at my face again " I said sternly before she swallowed her food

  Stolen novel; please report.

  "Hey now, you should be grateful I didn't laugh right away, save your pretty boy face"

  ". . . By the way, didn't you have something to tell me? "

  She then stopped feeding herself before looking at me with a serious expression, but I can tell even without my blessing that it had been messing with her mind

  "Yeah. . . Come inside my room after this" Suraya said with her heavy tone

  ". . . You ok Suraya? You seem stressed over whatever in your mind right now" My father asked her

  "I'm fine, Dad. . . It's just about Dani, nothing much"

  ". . . Heh, 'nothing much' she said" I said while teasing her while smirking

  "Syed. . . " She pouted while glaring at me with murder eyes, probably embarrassed by what I'm hinting at

  "Haha, sorry Suraya. I'm just trying to get back at you, didn't know it's this fun"

  "Hmm. . . " She glared at me with those eyes again before she shoved a spoonful of her meal into her mouth while still pouting

  "So, what is it you wanna tell me about? " I ask her while sitting down beside her in her bed

  "Well. . . Dani got attacked this morning "

  That sentence alone is enough to drop my heart

  "What?! Who is it?! "

  "A demon named Marchosias. Don't worry Syed, Dani already handled it"

  That truth makes me sigh in relief before I smirk a little

  NPC my ass

  "He must have killed it himself, didn't he? Heh, I know he just downplayed himself every time"

  "Yeah. . . But that's not what I'm worried about"

  ". . . So what is it? "

  The uncomfortable silence between us stretched out for a while. Whatever Suraya was about to say next is something that managed to make her face turn pale a little

  ". . . Did you know about 'The Lord Of Fallen Angels', Syed? "

  . . .

  What?

  Who is that? I never heard of it

  Don't tell me, it's that entity

  "Syed? " Suraya asked me again, snapped me out of my thoughts

  ". . . No, I don't. Is that the Demon Lord? " I asked calmly, trying to hide my goosebumps feeling

  "That's what I want to assume. . . But history never had Demon Lord names like that right? "

  Her question makes me wonder for a while. It's true, no Demon King had a title like that in history.

  1000 years ago, the demon king appeared and brought chaos to the whole universe, either with its original body or by residing in a human, making them its vessel. Some are broken humans who had the right reason to crash out, and some are just pure evil.

  For every demon king that existed, there's also the chosen one who is destined to stop it. Although all of history said that both the demon king and the chosen one die in their own battle.

  That's why I exist with this chosen one power, as a new demon king will appear sooner or later. I know that much.

  But, history never once recorded a demon king who called themselves like that. 1000 years ago, a demon king called himself Malvoro, as he's the one who devours goodness, or when 600 years ago, a demon king with it human vessel named Meifu Ren, Lotus of the underworld

  All of them had one similar thing, they called themselves by names

  But for a demon king who called themselves 'The Lord of Fallen Angels' directly without any name. . . It didn't seem to match the pattern

  "Yeah, the name's pattern. . . Doesn't seem to match at all" I answered her calmly, with both my arms crossed at my chest

  "Syed, can I ask you a favor? "

  "Hmm, if you promise to bring Dani your own home-cooked curry tomorrow, yes" I said while smirking at her

  "Syed!!! " She mock shouted at me while pouting out of embarrassment "I'm serious here! "

  "Same thing, I'm also serious here"

  ". . . Tck, I'll do it tomorrow anyway, you don't need to tell me" She said while turning her head slightly away, hiding her small smile at such a request

  "So. . . What's the favor you want to ask from me? " I asked softly

  ". . . Can you. . . Erm. . . Ask those constellations for a blessing? Just any type of blessing that can allow you to ask those constellations about that thing?"

  ". . . Which one? "

  "Any constellations at this point. As long as we can get something useful"

  "So if I ask Ouro Kronii, the constellation of time-"

  "Syed, at this point, I don't care who you need to ask! Even if we get useless information such as that thing is 10,000 years old, I don't care! We. Need. Info! "

  "Haha, alright alright, I'll make one, it's just cute to see you mad" I said while smiling softly

  "Quick up, stupid brother! " She shouted in mock anger from embarrassment again. She is really allergic to compliments

  I laugh at her anger again before closing my eyes, taking a deep breath, and exhaling it softly. My body suddenly feels much lighter with holy light suddenly surrounding the room, which makes her also feel the holiness. And right after 3 seconds. . .

  "Alright, done" I said casually while opening my eyes

  "Eh?! That quick?! That takes like-"

  "3 seconds, yes, that's all I need. Making a blessing isn't that hard for me after all"

  Not anymore.

  "Ohh. . . " The realization hit her hard after a second of silence "Wait, Make?! You're not asking for one, but you make one??!! "

  "Alright, let me ask those constellations real quick"

  "Syed! Answer my question! "

  Ignoring her curiosity, I closed my eyes and was about to ask them, using the 'Blessing of absolute truth' that I just made earlier, but before I could ask

  snap

  My eyes suddenly jolted open and I instantly held my head out of dizziness, shocking my little sister out of worry

  "Syed! Syed! You ok?! " She asked me worried while holding both my shoulders, making sure I didn't collapse on the spot

  "Eergh. . . I. . . I'm fine Suraya. . . Don't worry" I said calmly to calm her worries down

  ". . . What happened Syed? Why are you. . .? "

  ". . . My blessing. . . Got cancelled out of the sudden"

  ". . . What? That's impossible, blessings are supposed to be high hierarchy in the magic system, it can't be cancelled"

  ". . . Suraya, I think you need to keep a close eye on Dani, make sure nothing happens to him. I can't be near him right now, I still have intergalactic craps to handle"

  "Syed, even if you didn't ask me that, I absolutely will"

  "Thanks Suraya, but you promised me, if anything happens, you'll telepath to me right away, I'll run back to earth as fast as light"

  Suraya just looked at me and smiled softly before nodding her head, and vowed to do that

  ". . . I'll see you the next morning, ok? "

  "Alright brother "

  I then got up from the bed with she helped me to stand on both feet, clearly still worried about my condition earlier before I pushed her slightly away softly, signalling that I'm fine, and walked out of her bedroom door

  "Good night Suraya" I said softly, looking at her over my shoulder

  "Night brother, sweet dreams" She smiled at me softly

  I lay in my bed, covering my face with both my hands, but if anyone here, they can see my eyes wide open, spiraling into questions of madness

  How?

  How?!

  How??!!

  HOW?

  HOW?!

  I asked myself, with each thought made I gripped my face slightly harder than before

  How is my blessing getting cancelled??!!

  Is it because of 'him'????

  If it was 'him', how did he cancel my blessing??

  No. No. No. No. No. No

  It shouldn't be possible

  No being ever cancelled it, not even those constellations

  I forced myself to get up, with now only one hand covering my face, I took a deep breath, making sure my mind didn't spiral deeper

  "Calm down Syed, don't go crazy yet. There are still people who need you" I murmured softly to myself

  ". . . "

  "I don't know who you are, or what you are 'Lord of Fallen Angels', but wherever you are, I can promise you one thing"

  I gripped my face tighter, with a vow that mixed with absolute determination was written all over my sharp eyes

  "I won't make sure you can even lift a damn finger to harm any of my family, any of my friends"

  I gritted my teeth tighter, with one feeling surged at my heart and radiated all over my body.

  Hate.

  Hate over 'him'

  And that's why I will make sure nothing ever happens to them.

  Especially Dani. I won't fail again.
