DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

80 years ago, an event now known as "The Great Cataclysm," occurred on a little blue planet called Leiven.

No one knows what or who caused the Great Cataclysm to happen… all that was known was that one day, continuous seismic waves hit the whole earth, causing a global earthquake and other types of natural disasters to occur everywhere around the globe.

The earth began to crack apart and all sorts of world-ending phenomenons occurred in less than the span of an hour everywhere around the globe. In that one hour, Leiven had lost almost 10% of its total population, animals, and plant included.

It seemed apparent that the world was about to end… nobody knew what to do as it had happened so unexpectedly and in very quick succession, that there was little to nothing they could do but pray or wait for the knife hovering over their necks to come chopping down.

Just as the lands began to get torn apart from each other, stranger things began to happen,

Space began to crack in some specific areas and unknown gigantic masses of land began to appear from the cracks in space and fell onto the earth, fitting into the torn-up lands like some deity was fixing a jigsaw puzzle with Leiven as the surface of the puzzle.

Such strange occurrences were happening all over the globe… unidentifiable seas and mountains were appearing, appearances of new species of flora and fauna were apparent all over the earth, appearances of lands covered by some sort of thick, coiling black fog, and finally the appearances of strange towers in some specific places around the world.

Overall, it seemed the earth had just done a major glow-up, even increasing in size.

And then every strange thing happening stopped… what humanity thought to be the end of the world was in fact not the end of the world, but an ushering of a totally new era.

But that was when the first signs of an arduous future showed up, the world had changed, and it was fair to say that humanity was no longer the dominating specie on this planet… after all, so many new things had just popped up and there were still so many unknowns.

The planet had been torn apart and stitched up, so the human countries were separated from one another and could not band together against the new threats. Long-distance transportation was impossible as the natural disasters before the reformation of the earth had all but destroyed every means of long-distance transportation, and even if there were still means of transportation, the world had just been reshuffled so the previously used maps were all useless now.

More dangers had now started popping up around the new world, in the form of sealed dimensions that housed monsters; they were known as gates,

And some of the new species of flora and fauna that had appeared during the cataclysm were predators that didn't mind feasting on humans.

Humanity was in a more perilous situation than ever…

…But that was when they appeared…

Some of the braver humans had let their curiosity get the best of them and they ventured out of the safety of their homes to try and see what this new world had to offer. Some of them entered the strange towers that had appeared when the world was going through reformation and got bestowed with different types of abilities called "blessings of the cataclysm."

Powers beyond the scope of human imagination, things that could only happen in dreams and movies, and abilities that would ensure humanity's survival. It was like some higher-ranking being(s) had taken pity on the humans and decided to help them by sending these blessings to specific people who would help humanity to get back on its feet. The people with these blessings were called 'MEGAS'.

The abilities granted to these blessed ones weren't only combat-oriented, some were supportive blessings while others were geared towards something else entirely.

Due to these special people's support and protection, many human settlements were able to pick themselves up and start functioning again.

Yorkshire city was one of those settlements that had gotten 'MEGAS' to protect and support them as they picked themselves up and began to function well again. There were 4 groups of people that had worked together to help Yorkshire City to get back on track after the 'GREAT CATACLYSM', these 4 groups of people would later come to be known as the 4 great families of Yorkshire city, namely; The Lake family, The Rome family, The Santos family, and The Lecroy family.

The Lake family was a warrior family that had taken up arms to protect Yorkshire city just after the Great Cataclysm occurred, luckily some of them had managed to get a blessing from the tower, and with that, they had protected Yorkshire city along with the other families, all the while establishing themselves as a great force, literally as well as in the view of the people. As time passed, they also formed a 'LEAGUE' that they called 'The Mad Lions', which had the job of diving into the 'GATES'.

For anybody that had lived in, or visited Yorkshire city, he/she would admit that the Lake family was one of the hegemons that stood in Yorkshire city. They were not to be messed with or provoked, and whoever dared to try would cease to exist… at least the weak ones.

This was the same Lake family that Davies was born into, and the same Lake family that requested his presence…

*****-----------********

Davies sat in the back seat of the Ventley Conraverse that Daniel drove him in as they headed for the Lake family estate,

'What do they want this time…?' Davies sighs thoughtfully, as he looked outside the window at the moving scenery, the car seemed to eat up the miles as it traveled at high speed.

[Who knows…]

[Maybe they just want to see how you are, after all, you did go off-grid for twelve years without seeing anyone]

'Nah… that can't be it,'

'I already have a bad feeling… this is going to be quite an annoying meeting,' Davies thought as he began to rub his forehead, already feeling tired just thinking about whatever annoyances awaited him back at the Lake family.

[...]

Davies began to make himself more comfortable in a bid to try and get some rest as he hadn't slept much overnight due to… the interview he was conducting, but before he could even begin to doze off, they had arrived at the entrance of the Lake family estate.

"Goddammit, this better be quick," Davies grumbled as he realized that they had arrived at the estate.

Daniel who was driving the car, slowed to a halt at the gate at the entrance to the estate as it was shut tightly for security purposes, he brought down the window of the car to talk with one of the men who were dispatched at the gate as the security.

After a few minutes of conversation and the security checking their logs to see if Davies was to be allowed in, they opened the gates and let Daniel drive in. Daniel drove in at a minimal pace into the Lake family estate, slowly maneuvering the Ventley down the roads of the estate.

It took another ten minutes to get to the Lake central hall used for family gatherings and meetings as the Lake family estate was a pretty big place and was almost a self-contained town on its own, but it was to be expected, knowing the Lake family's standing in Yorkshire.

"Well… let's get this shit over with…" Davies with a tired sigh as he alighted slowly from the Ventley.
