There is no way to cancel, chapter 0: Perhaps.

  —The despised can become the one they despise, or choose not to become… sometimes.

  The city of Sunny was destroyed; what was once full of glory, now, only remnants of previously majestic buildings remain, and select buildings that managed to escape the explosion caused by the energy of the mixture of spiritual Nier and mana.

  A man walked through the rubble, stepping on the blood and bodies scattered throughout the area.

  “You bastard… son of a bitch…!”

  Said a woman from within a Nier barrier trapped amongst the rubble. She holds such ethereal beauty that anyone who saw her would say she was an angel.

  Unfortunately, the nature of the words she uttered contradicted her appearance. She staggered out of the rubble and continued to utter hateful words at the man, who laughed in response to such insults.

  “You’re a funny woman; you attack me first and I’m the son of a bitch?”

  “But… Ther… it’s different… it’s too risky to keep you alive! Every disciple descended from the demon lord has always come to cause misfortune throughout the world throughout history! How could we keep you alive?”

  Hearing this, Ther simply shaped Nier and cut deeply into Core’s left leg, which left the bone exposed. She fell to the ground, groaning in pain. After that, he looked into her eyes, which made the woman tremble in fear.

  “Are you telling me that… all of your actions and those of your people were based on mere superstition? Something tells me that even in your conception, I'm not that wrong, pff.”

  Core gritted his teeth in anger. It had been 30 years since he had met Ther. Although he recognized his power and had once considered him a friend, now, they were nothing more than enemies.

  It is inevitable that they will become enemies; she, a descendant of gods, and he, a descendant adopted by the demon queen herself.

  Core; named as such because she was the heir to the most powerful main clan on the entire planet. Such a name representing everything that her family and lineage represents to the world; the individuals who moved the world with a single decision, whose power could decide the fate of entire cities.

  This is Core, the arrogant disciple of purity and the one who was destined for greatness.

  And on the other hand, we have Ther; the one who was born as an invalid; who initially couldn't even produce and manipulate Nier, and above all, the son of traitors who deserted a war, now, he has become a disciple of the demon queen.

  The man who was once known as Un, the cursed child, had now, in fact, become a curse… no; he had become a calamity.

  This is the calamity Ther, known as the apostle of lies and destruction, and the one who has been dishonored. The one born without a soul, the cursed disciple of impurity, and the one who has been destined for misery.

  The only lasting relationship Core and Ther could have was mutual contempt, or burning hatred.

  “Sometimes I think… that if I had been born in a good place, with a good structure and had walked with honest steps on a moral path, perhaps the love between us could have blossomed, but apparently, even in that scenario, we were destined to walk slightly different paths.”

  “Fuck you.”

  Core cursed him, and Ther laughed; he found it funny that Core would try to curse someone who was already born cursed, however, he continued his speech.

  “Fate is a funny thing; we were destined to meet, become friends and then lovers, only to part ways and meet again as enemies.”

  “If you’re going to make fun of me, then kill me right now, damn it!”

  Ther sighed; Core had tried to kill Ther several times, but he held no grudge; he had expected this for a long time (and even found it amusing). However, today, he would give the final warning: this was the last time he would spare Core. If she tried to kill him again, he would simply chop off her head.

  Ther had only not killed Core until now because the death of someone like Core would shake an entire country and he would become not only a continental enemy, but a worldwide enemy as well. However, Ther seriously considered killing her now; even the patience of someone like him had limits.

  In contrast to these desires, he remembered another person.

  “Would… Chatte be like this too if she were alive?”

  Ther laughed at his own muttering; someone like Chatte, who was lacking in Nier, could never become as strong and confident as Core, someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and with a golden bloodline. It was unfair, but it was the truth.

  “Core.” He continued. “Core….”

  “C-o-r-e M-o-o-n-l-i-g-h-t w-i-n-g-s”

  Ther spelled Core's full name in a childish and ironic tone, which only infuriated the woman; such an act was clearly a mockery towards her; what Ther had done was the same thing as comparing her to a child who needed to learn the alphabet.

  Ther remained silent for a while, and after 5 seconds, he finally opened his mouth.

  “2 times.” He continued. “You tried to kill me twice. Initially, I didn’t fight back, because the death of someone like you would mean that the Moon Wings family would be left without a leader, and a family as powerful as yours, as conflicted as it is, would divide this country of 8,510,417.771 km2 into 5 pieces and fight among themselves to acquire all the pizza, causing more deaths and misfortunes, however, Core, my patience is not infinite; there will be no third time. Any attempt on my life will end in your death.”

  “Pff, Ther, if you kill me, you’ll be hunted across the entire continent!”

  “Core, just answer me something: who would try to hunt me down while desperately trying to maintain their own power because they are under continuous attacks from someone who wants their lands?”

  Core's face darkened.

  “Do you understand now, little Core? Initially, they would use the classic 'common enemy' tactic, but after a few months, realizing that I would not attack anymore, they fought for power among themselves.”

  In a loving gesture, Ther stroked Core's purple hair, and looked into his green eyes.

  “Little Core, I am doing my utmost to ensure that the prophecy about me destroying this continent does not come true. Now, tell me: do you understand?”

  "Yes yes."

  "Excellent!"

  Hearing this, Ther smiled in satisfaction. His life was already difficult as the strongest of the 5 calamities, if this continent was destroyed, he would no longer be just a continental enemy and would become a world enemy.

  Of course, he cannot destroy an entire continent directly, however, he could destroy important cities, capitals, kill people who keep the economy running, poison the water, and manipulate Nier and reversed energy to destroy entire crops and make this country have an unprecedented economic crisis.

  “Goodbye, Core!”

  After saying goodbye, Ther left the destroyed city, unmarked himself, hid and camouflaged his own mana and ran, jumping some for 5 hours to a random city… on the other side of the continent.

  He was a master of disguise, and it was nearly impossible to find him unless he used his own energy. In fact, the only times he was found was when he was

  “Indeed, the decisions of the Moon Wings family can decide the fate of an entire continent.”

  Ther laughediu.

  “The rest of the day will be long."
