Chapter 1The beginning of something new
"Master, leave the fight. We'll be able to stop the alliance in its tracks. Therefore, be sure to escape this place unharmed. As Amane started to run down her ex*****on platform, she overheard those awful words.
She was confident that the family she had adopted would be there for her when she needed them. Amane still regretted that they had delayed carrying out her punishment, though.
It was already too late, after all. Because of the poison she had knowingly consumed, Amane's life was about to end.
She had no other choice, though.
That was the choice Amane had to make. Either she passed away, or the rest of her guild did. Amane was a lone individual. No matter how much power she had, she would not be able to save everyone.
'I guess this is the curse of having so much power. Those alliance bastards could not find anything else so they chose to threaten me with those kids' lives.'
And between her cursed existence and the lives of her loved ones, it was clear what Amane would have chosen.
That was the reason Amane had not told anyone about this deal. None of the children Amane had picked up along her life needed to carry the burden of her death.
Amane had been ready to go out quietly, but it no longer seemed possible.
Why did they need to know right away? In any case, everything was about to end. These kids were going to be taken care of by the alliance when I passed away, and they were going to be placed with good homes to raise them.
Amane had consented to her capture and subsequent ex*****on because of these kids. Because of these kids, Amane refrained from succumbing to her curse and turning into a demon.
You see, Amane was a half-demon. Demons were the mortal enemies of humanity and divinity.
As such, Amane's existence was considered cursed in everyone's eyes. They had tried to kill her so many times that she had even lost count.
