Synopsis
Luke, an ordinary child born on Earth after a great disaster, has no talent. Born of a strong adventurer and a runaway maid of a kingdom, he has been blessed with looks and some aspect of strength. He was born on the worst of months, due to this he was referred to as cursed. Only his parents treated him normally, except for his siblings. His father Adam, felt bad for him after one of the bullying events that nearly killed him. He began a forbidden experiment with the rarest of herbs, elements, and blood types after gaining knowledge from multiple of his friends who were great scientists. Luke was a large part of his experiment, which brings Adam dark memories of past failed experiments on humans, which earned him the name"The Midnight Scientist".After a few months of experimenting, the result was a lot of serums that could grant one unimaginable power. Be it chaos, dark soul magic, light, earth, lightning, physiques, bloodlines, all of them were included. High rewards come with high risks. With an overwhelming death chance of 90% per power, the human body could have a maximum of up to 4 abilities without dying. Any other power gained after the fourth would lead to; madness, death, and suicide. The Baron of the City was informed of his forbidden experiment by a spy. Adam sped up his plans knowing this and told Luke where to find his lab. The Baron notified the people of the city and had Adam executed and his lab was not found. When Luke was 13, he went to his father's lab to gain power for revenge on the Baron for executing his father and for torturing him and his family. Unknown to him was that the serums contained Supernaturals blood. With the help of the serums, he is ready to get his revenge and step on the heavens for the cruel fate that befell him. ********************************************************************** P.S.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Introduction

Luke was unlucky enough to be one of the many trash born in a cursed month. The date of birth is not precise, just the month. The month of May, when demons and the Supernatural first appeared. 'Malkuth' the demon of Pride and his minions seized a portion of the planet, pillaged cities, and slew humans.

At the moment humans were desperate, everything was tried from modern weapons to traditional tactics and nothing worked. Then the 'Calamity' hit, a pulse of energy that swept the Earth, killing millions of humans, demons, and Supernatural. Part of the remaining population of humans gained unique abilities and was called Reborn. With over half the population of humans wiped out, the planet was split into five continents; Polar(Humans), Vaskar(Vampires), Lithion(Werewolves), Malkuth(Demons), and No Man's Land(Undead and other Supernatural).

With the Calamity, massive developments were made according to the Human perspective. With enough technology, they adapted unique weapons called Abstracts. These are weapons that hold immense power that were created for the entire population's benefit but the wealthy families got soul weapons.

The Polar continent was divided into eight Kingdoms; Illfrit(Illusion), Lapus(Light), Aquarius(Water), Avast(Nature), Spageo(Earth), Syrest(Fire), Frost(Wind), and Utopia(Dark).

On the outskirts of Utopia Kingdom, there was a severe thunderstorm brewing and heavy rains with periodic strikes of lightning. Loud cries were heard from one of the houses in a small village. It was common knowledge that Malkuth was defeated after five years of his attempt at dictatorship by one of the emerging heroes, Rick Vallaher after one week of constant fights.

Malkuth was finished off by his most powerful attack, a combination of four elements, Thunder God's Descent. Rick was renowned as a valiant hero and the only quad-elemental user that existed wielding Fire, Light, Illusion, and Thunder. After Malkuth's defeat, a period of peace began but due to an unknown, unfortunate event, Rick let himself go, indulging himself in women and booze.

Rick had many children from thereon becoming great people, but his bloodline declined with time. We are now here, the birth of Luke Vallaher, last born son of Adam Vallaher, a descendant of Rick Vallaher, and Violet Stone, a runaway maid from the Utopia Kingdom.

In the house, the coarse voice of a man was heard, "Quick, check if he has inherited any magic,". This was, of course, Adam, who looked to be between his late forties and early fifties with a grey-white beard reaching his upper chest. A midwife was handed a crystal orb by Adam. "You do realize that magic is awakened at the age of ten, right?" the midwife refuted, awed by his request.

"Some of us of the Vallaher lineage have a unique trait, we are born with magic. Now 'please' check," Adam insisted, not wanting to repeat himself. The midwife made Luke touch the orb. There was no change even after some time, making the midwife doubtful of the so-called 'unique trait'.

"See, I told you so. Now wait till he is ten," the midwife said, earning the fury of Adam who gave her a slap on the face. The midwife fell to the ground, fingermarks visible on her face glowing with a red hue.

"Now, Adam that is no way to treat people," an old voice echoed, revealing the presence of the village chief, who oversees the special events in the village. He was present along with other children of Adam. Adam in fury shoved the orb in Luke's hands, trying to test him again. The cold orb on Luke's skin made him start crying again, just moments after being born. After some twenty minutes, there was no change, making Adam have a grim expression on his face.

Adam pushed his way out of the room, fury on his face, and closed the door with a bang, almost breaking it. This was because he and all his children were born with magic. So when Luke did not have any upon birth, he was furious.
