Chapter 1 - Daemon Grimsby

World of Eldoria, Republic of Lavera.

Inside a classroom of Lavera first middle school , sat a young man with pitch-black hair, snow-white skin and dark eyes resembling someone who seems like a vampire from fantasies.

His name is Daemon Grimsby, an orphan who lives in an orphanage by the name of shelter for the pure ones. Just like the name suggests, its an orphanage for all kids below the age of 16 , the required age to enter a high school in the world of Eldoria.

Eldoria is a world with more than 200 countries which lie on enormous 13 continents . The Republic of Lavera is one of these countries situated on the continent of Revaris. This world has technology based on iron engines and brick houses along with coal powered vehicles. There are horse carriages too but they are mostly owned by aristocratic families.

Even though the Republic of Lavera is a country ruled by a council voted by the people, it still has various noble families which have survived since more than 1000 years. All the noble families surviving till now are not the ones who are arrogant and pompous. But they are the ones with the intellect to hide their expressions and thoughts from everyone, including their own loved ones.

Daemon Grimsby is a young commoner at the age of 15 with no goal in life other than to survive and feed himself after the middle school ends.

Around his seat in the class, no one was seen sitting close. It was not due to him being an orphan but due to the impression he gives to people around him. His unique looks and intimidating eyes created a picture of a stern and scary person as soon as they saw him the first day. Even though they wanted to approach him and quite a few girls wanted to become his friend, no one ever got the courage to come upto him.

Currently he was waiting for his last class before the holidays begin to end. Unlike his looks he is just ordinary in all other aspects.

As soon as the class finishes, he picks up his bag and starts to walk out of the class.

After getting out of the school, he starts moving towards his orphanage but was stopped by a luxurious car parking in front of him.

As soon as the car opened , a girl shorter in height by a head compared to Daemon, walked out and hugged him tightly ignoring the stern looks of her driver and bodyguard.

She is a beautiful girl with long golden hairs till they reach her waist and grey eyes. Her name is Luna Revaris. Daemon doesn't know the background of the girl who is his only friend and a sister to him, but he cares for only her in his life.

He got acquainted with her in his elementary school when he saw her playing by herself at a corner. He saw in her loneliness and pureness of a child . He didn't have any plan to talk with her at all but she saw him looking at him and happily called him over and started playing with him. Daemon felt a connection with a person for the first time in his life when he was forced by her to play. He didn't know the reason why and didn't bother to think.

"Daemon I will miss you so much in the holidays, I want to spend them with you so much but my family already has plans for me", said Luna to Daemon whil being stuck to him in the hug.

"No need to feel sad Luna, it's only a few days until we meet again", replied Daemon while rubbing her head with his palm ignoring the glares of her bodyguard and driver.

Luna looks down at her feet hearing him say this. Only she knows she won't be able to see him for a long time after this, because of her entering the "real world" Soon.

She went back to her car along with her bodyguard and kept staring at the lonely daemon till the car went away.
