The woman's name was Grisha

  A beautiful face coupled with a personality of a saint

  It was no wonder Erebus fell in love almost immediately

  After beating down the criminals that tried to take advantage of her

  He offered her a helping hand and proceeded to kill the men

  So that they wouldn't do anything like this ever again

  But

  Instead of letting him kill the ones who wronged her

  She had the courage to stand up to a god to preserve the lives of the men

  Many would consider this a foolish choice

  But the god of darkness saw unparalleled determination in her eyes

  Therefore, he let them go

  After capturing Chronos and sending him back to his dimension

  He was strangely drawn towards Grisha

  So he started spending time with her

  But the more he did this

  The more he found it enjoyable

  Seeing her live her day to day life with happiness

  After a while, he started looking forward to each day

  Many years flew by

  At that time, Erebus felt the need to do something

  He realized that he wanted to be with Grisha for all eternity

  But he could not do this while she was still mortal

  So when he went to ask

  He groveled before her

  Yes, for he knew that immortality was not that easy to accept

  It might sound like a benefit

  But it is a hard life to lead

  Hence, he pleaded her while expressing his heartfelt feelings

  A god lowering his head to a mortal was unheard of

  A myriad of emotions were evident on Grisha's face

  Fortunately, or in this case, unfortunately

  She agreed to spend her life with him

  Even if she had to give everything up and leave it all behind

  Erebus was elated at this

  He immediately went to the Divine Realm to inform his brother

  But not before promising Grisha that he will definitely come back for her

  Leaving her self-assured, he ascended into the higher plane

  No

  Was the answer of Savanium, the god of light

  Enraged, he expressed his disdain

  There was no reason to reject someone his brother chose especially

  But there was just one problem

  She was not human

  Looking at the short horns growing out of her purple hair

  It was the truth

  Her race was demon

  A race that Savanium didn't care much about

  But nor did he particularly like that much either

  To him, humans were at the top of the mortal realm's races

  So he held heavy prejudice against everyone else beneath them

  The demons were more adept at using magic than humans

  But that was just it

  There was no big difference between them

  Yet, he still looked at them differently

  Towards this brother, the god of darkness was enraged

  But instead of letting his rage control him

  He calmed himself and started to talk

  It was a long time before the god of light reluctantly agreed to the union

  Many favors and persuasions were done by Erebus

  Patiently waiting for this moment

  But just as everything was going smoothly

  Disaster struck

  When both had descended onto the earth once more

  A scene of carnage and chaos spread before their eyes

  The town where Grisha resided was ravaged to its depths

  By it

  It being a gargantuan beast

  Every time it moved

  Earthquakes were not few

  With bulging red muscles and arms too many to count

  The being with unstoppable strength leveled the landscape around it

  A titan

  A being once told in legends

  An existence that can reach the gods themselves

  Created out of residual mana mixed with malice from all over the globe

  This particular type was one of the weakest among them

  For they had little to no intelligence

  Compared to the other races

  This titan was as stupid as a rock

  But

  There was nothing any one could do to stop it

  For only his stupidity was its only weakness

  Meanwhile everything else was close to invulnerable

  It was futile to even think of fighting it

  It would've been wise to retreat and let the disaster pass

  Although Savanium was thinking this

  His brother had other plans

  For all the while

  He was thinking of something completely different

  Grisha

  His first true love in this world

  Her safety was the only thing on his mind

  Unconsciously releasing his pent up rage and frustration

  Breaking the limiters of his power levels

  He found her quickly

  But he was too late

  For she was already at death's door

  Just barely making it to hear her last words

  She left the mortal world

  Erebus was angry

  Angry at whoever orchestrated all this

  Angry at the giant beast who might have done this

  Angry at her untimely fate of being separated from him

  Just as he was about to enjoy eternity with her

  But most of all

  He was angry at himself

  Angry at how he couldn't do anything once he saw her

  Dark Magic could not heal mortals

  Light Magic could often be linked to healing magic

  But for a demon

  That was just hastening her death

  He didn't even know if it could bring someone back from near death

  But he still tried

  Again and again until he ran out of options

  The forbidden magic of necromancy

  He almost used it but stopped himself

  This magic can bring the dead back to life

  But it would not revive souls

  So he judged this useless

  He was helpless

  Even still, he had to take revenge

  To get rid of the murky feeling that would not go away

  Until he knew who or what the cause was

  He couldn't just sit there and accept it

  He turned around and decided to fight

  The titan was extremely strong

  Fighting on par with Savanium, the god of light

  Barely exchanging blows that pierced the stratosphere

  Well, that was until he, arrived

  The embodiment of darkness rushed in like a madman

  No more was the calm, collected, observant young man

  He completely entrusted his entire self to the endless power that welled up from within

  Releasing his pent up emotion

  He showered a rain of blows against the over-sized muscle-head

  Under the attack of two divine beings, the titan could only defend in earnest

  A long drawn out battle ended on the third day

  As the titan fell

  Leaving behind the two exhausted gods

  Later on

  Erebus used all the resources at his disposal to find the cause

  Completely ignoring and oblivious to the whereabouts of the other townspeople

  He couldn't care less

  Creating a new race to help him

  A race he called 'Devil' made from the demon's genes

  But stronger than ever

  After many decades, he finally found his answer

  It turns out

  That an organization of humans were the root

  This particular group's objective was to conquer the other races

  Where discrimination against every other race except human was normal

  By sacrificing countless souls

  They succeeded in summoning a lower form of 'Titan'

  But Erebus did not care about the little things such as why they did it

  He only wanted to have a target

  No thinking was necessary

  He was completely devoured by his thirst for vengeance

  Almost immediately, he assembled his army and attacked

  In the span of an entire day

  He wiped most of the cities off the map

  Spending the least bit of time on every one

  Using the most destructive methods he had in his arsenal

  Innocent or not

  None were spared

  He struck fear into millions

  This incident would later be called 'The Fall'

  But that was for another time

  The humans

  Who were unprepared as usual

  At such an unprecedented amount of power and numbers

  Quickly spiraled into despair

  Who would have thought that they have angered a god

  And in the course of one day

  Their prideful race was on the brink of extinction

  They could only cling to their god

  Praying to him like their lives depended on it

  Due to this

  Savanium immediately moved to stop his brother's actions

  He would have never once thought that his own brother

  Would take this drastic of a method

  Killing his most beloved race was inexcusable

  Meeting on the battlefield

  Savanium tried to dissuade his only sibling to stop

  Even if he wanted to destroy him

  They were still brothers after all

  But his 'brother' was no longer there

  What met him was the entity of rage in corporeal form

  There was no sign of him stopping his rampage

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Now that he had found an outlet for his vengeance

  There was no turning back

  A fight was inevitable

  Seeing as words had no meaning

  Savanium had no choice but to use his strength to get through

  Countless blows were traded

  Many devastating spells were used

  Strategies were nowhere to be found

  A battle between supreme beings had no need for them

  Countless bodies fell on both sides

  Human and Devil

  Entire landscapes were changed again and again

  Light and Dark

  Clashed for what seemed like an eternity

  Both sides exhausted beyond their limits

  There was no need for words

  Both were prepared to use their most powerful attack

  Not thinking of the consequences

  If these two spells clashed

  The end of the world was a predetermined fact

  But even so

  They still had to do it

  Even if it meant that the world had to be destroyed

  There was no end in sight if they didn't have

  At least this much resolution

  One had nothing to lose

  While the other wanted to get back everything

  When these two wills met

  A trumpet sounded

  Both powers were suppressed by two fingers pointed outwards

  In a flash, both sides were rendered unable to fight

  What appeared there was

  A mysterious man wearing a black suit of leather

  The designs were something that was alien to this world

  Yet they looked as if it was made for this man to wear

  The only ones who looked out place in the devastated lands

  Were two beings

  The silver-haired man who was putting his hands in his pockets

  As if he was as nonchalant as a mischievous little kid

  And the heavenly entity behind him

  Floating above his head was a beauty

  Locks as shiny as gold, bright prismatic-colored irises

  A silk outfit slightly revealing the untainted whiteness of her skin

  But what was more eye-catching was

  The gigantic sixteen rainbow-colored wings on her back

  Exuding a natural air of fear and strength

  The being called 'Seraph of the End'

  Was strangely servile to the mysterious man below her

  Acting as if she was in a casual conversation with puffed cheeks

  After looking around, the man turned once more and disappeared

  The beings once called 'Twin Deus' could only be dumbfounded

  They never believed they could even touch the angel that came out from nowhere

  Much less the man below it

  Even Erebus' reason came back due to his exhaustion

  Thus, the carnage was over in a flash

  Due to the appearance of the mysterious being that was as playful as a cat

  Both the humans and devils were forced to retreat

  Over the course of a hundred years after 'The Fall'

  To avoid the incident from repeating itself

  Savanium accumulated more power and created a new race

  He called it 'Angels'

  Out of these new beings

  Made by imitating the one who abruptly appeared before them

  Seven were chosen to guard the human race

  Thus, the 'Seven Seraphim' was born

  Each one given a fragment of power to protect

  And to oversee all the other races

  Simultaneously giving them power to bestow upon humans

  The first few were those blessed to be called 'The Ancestors'

  Soon enough, the power bestowed upon the humans

  Became commonplace

  Inherited traits, bloodlines and families

  Through these

  Each and every one of them received strength

  Stronger than the past humans

  But every once in a while

  Children who had a higher affinity towards the light element are born

  These children would soon grow into special existences

  Among the human race

  They were observed to have extraordinary growth rates

  Quickly growing stronger than the average adult

  Soon, these children were treated differently than others

  Although, the only deciding factor was their status

  The unique title of 'Chosen' was found there

  From birth, if you have been confirmed to have this title

  You will automatically succeed in life

  But only seven were confirmed to have this title at one time

  Therefore they developed a system to take advantage of it

  'Famiglia'

  The name coined by the founder of the Association

  Using the faith towards Savarium and the 'Seven Seraphim'

  The Association created the 'Seven Seraphim Shrines'

  These are where the seven chosen existences will make their bases

  Each choosing their own 'Seraph' to serve

  Letting these 'Seraphs' bestow upon them power

  Gathering followers by promising them strength and ideals

  And in return, making each 'Famiglia' strong enough to protect the people

  Meanwhile, Erebus was also recreating his 'Devil Army'

  Creating his very own personal dungeon, 'Losto Vae'

  Where he made plans to eliminate the entire human race

  Including his brother, Savarium

  He was still afraid of the mysterious being coming back

  So he developed countless countermeasures in the case he did

  This time, he made his minions even stronger than before

  He also had a plan to use a titan's strength instead

  Of course, Erebus knew that nothing would change

  Even if he destroyed the human race

  There would be no benefit to him

  But logic had nothing to do with it

  He felt that if he didn't do it himself, no one ever will

  He would never regain his peace of mind

  Knowing that the discrimination against the other races

  Coming from the humans' side, would never end at this rate

  Various developments happened soon after

  The humans slowly multiplied once again and kept creating new ways on how to survive

  Spells, Skills, and Techniques were found one after another

  Though, most of these were from the various 'Famiglias' that rapidly enlarged

  Soon enough, people started imitating the 'Famiglias' that grew too large

  And created their own

  After much deliberation, The Association approved this

  Stating the condition that they would be called differently

  The original seven families would be dubbed

  'The Seven Major Famiglias'

  While the others were either

  'Minor Famiglias'

  or 'Famiglias' for short

  Naturally the former was higher-ranked than the latter

  They would take priority on quests, and many other things

  While the former received blessings and the like from their 'Seraph'

  The rest don't and have to rely on their own strength in numbers

  This is why it was better to apply for even one of the major families

  The benefits were as far as heaven and earth

  Although nobles and aristocrats governed the country

  While the king ruled over it

  The true rulers in terms of strength would be the 'Major Famiglias'

  They say that even one of them would be enough to take on a country

  Which is not an exaggeration

  Soon enough, some forgot their initial purpose

  And started to hold competitions over everything

  Numbers, money, land, strength, anything you could think of

  Growing too strong can make you careless and arrogant

  And that's exactly what they became..

  And that was why only the humans were bestowed strength by the 'Seven Seraphim'
