Under the instigation of Sovereign God Avel, the demons and fallen started attacking the mortal planes. Countless demons and monsters came out of the abyss. With the effect of the great earthquake from before many countries had yet to regain their original strength. Because of this lots of villages and towns had turned to ruins when the demons attacked.

A year had passed and half of the human territory had fallen under the control of the demons. Before the demons had completely overwhelmed the humanoid races, the crown prince of Kingdom Hart had entered the battlefield at a young age. Standing by his side is his imperial crown princess, Angela Evans.

Under the undeniable strength of Viktor Hart, he leads the war while at the same time buffing his allies with a holy circle which increases his people's strength, speed, and defense. His brilliant dual commands and support during the war had made his people call him the god of war. 

With the effort of all races from the light faction, they were able to block the impending attacks of the demon race. At the same time, Angela Evans on the battlefield had prevented all demonic miasma from affecting their faction which led to better warfare and support for the crown prince. She heals anyone within the battlefield and thanks to her the casualties on their side were greatly lessened. 

Lady Evans was like the goddess at the rear. Every injured person who comes to her would be healed normally. She was even able to regenerate cut or broken limbs. As long as there is a hint of life of the person, she would be able to bring her back to life.

This is the first win the light faction had taken against the demons. Now the situation of the war between the two factions was in deadlock.

At the Abyss.

The demon king was seated at his throne with his eyes closed. After sending their men to conquer the human plane, he had been waiting for reports from his subordinates. After the said betrayal of their former father, Lord Adrienne, the demon and fallen races had sworn their loyalty to the current sovereign of the divine plane.

With the blessing, they've received from Sovereign Avel the effect of the holy attribute which used to be their weakness had lessened greatly. It was thanks to this that they were able to overwhelm the human races for the past months. This is until their defeat against that mortal prince and his princess. Despite the blessing from the sovereign, the strength of these two beings was beyond what they had expected. Especially the human princess, her light spells were at expert class and could even hurt him, the king of all demons.

The demon king asked, "Just who is that human princess? Her light attribute spells are still deadly to our races despite the blessing from the sovereign."

Another demon kneeled before him and reported everything about Angela Evans. 

"That human girl is a summoned being from another world. According to the information, our spy had gathered. It was said that there are three otherworlders invited to our world by the former God of Light, Lord Lucien. The human princess, Angela Evans is one of them."

"One of them? Which means there are other two? Who are they?" asked the demon king.

"Answering to the king, one of them is an ordinary human named Bela Laurel. We don't know the extent of her capabilities but it was said that her status is above what the residents of this world normally possess. He works for the third prince of the small kingdom hart and signed a magic contract with him. Because of this, her freedom was greatly restricted and the third prince had treated her quite badly due to the difference between her and the human princess."

The demon king spoke, "And the last one?"

"T-This... I'm sure my king knew about the last one. He is a human and his name is Eirwen Night."

As expected the moment the name Eirwen Night was mentioned the expression of the king and all authorities within the room had turned gloomy. After all, the name Eirwen Night is taboo within Abyss. This is the name of that bitch who caused their former ruler, Lord Adrienne to abandon them for love. It was all because of this stupid human that they've lost the blessing of the Dark God and the support of the Fallen God.

Thankfully, the new sovereign had taken them under his wings and gave them his blessing and love. If not because of that human named Eirwen Night this war wouldn't have happened.

"Eirwen Night!? That bastard... He really shouldn't have existed." exclaimed the Demon King.

"My king, please calm down. Maybe if we sent someone to the humans and asked to give away Eirwen Night in exchange for the end of the war then things would get easier."

"But would the humans be willing to give him away? I heard he is quite popular with humans. Let's just focus on kidnapping the human princess or that otherworlder."

The demon king and the elders were all listening to the advice of each other on how to win this war. They debated and talked about this topic for a long time until they finally made a decision.

The first is to inquire about a meeting with the human princess and kidnap her if possible. Getting that human princess would definitely halve the strength of the light faction. After all, that little girl had the capabilities of becoming a saintess.

The second plan is that, if the plan for kidnapping the human princess fails, it is better to get that otherworlder on their side. It is better if they could convince her to convert into becoming a fallen or a demon.

And lastly, assassinate Eirwen Night at all cost.

Because of this, they had sent a messenger to the light faction. With the war currently at a deadlock, the situation between the two realms was a bit tense yet calm at the same time. Both were waiting for one to lift a finger and begin the second war between demons and humans.

---

Ever since Viktor Hart and Angela Evans took the lead in the last war and won, the small kingdom of Hart had become popular. They've solidified their position in the allied organization of the kingdoms and empires.

They are now gathering at the Cloud Empire which is the strongest among all the alliance members of the organization. As expected the one in lead is the regent, Li Raine and beside him is the hero of their empire, Li Luciel. They had gathered here because of the arrival the demon side had sent. They had unexpectedly sent a messenger from the demon king himself.

The one who began the meeting was the Regent, Raine of Cloud Empire.

"Let the meeting start. The topic should already be known to everyone here in the room," said Raine.

The King of the Elven race spoke, "A messenger from the demon race bearing a letter from the Demon King himself, was it?"

The short-tempered beastman king bangs his hand on the stone table, "There is no need to listen to the words of those fiends. They should be all killed. Those beasts who kill without consequences!"

"I agree with the beast king for this one. In the first place, they were the ones who attacked first; there is no need to entertain them at all!" says the dwarf king.

In the aquatic race, the Mermaid King had spoken his side as well, "I do believe that peace would be better. It is not like we had enough people nor strength to completely eliminate both the demon and fallen races as it is. Let us at least read the letter."

The beast king was angered, "Do you think that the words of the demons are credible!"

"We don't need to believe everything. But we need to read the contents of the message at least. What if they wanted to sign a peace treaty?" said the elven king beside him, the mermaid king is nodding his head.

The beast king and the dwarf king both stood up in anger and said, "NO WAY IN HELL!!!"

The alliance was equally divided between those who wanted war and those who wanted peace. They were verbally shouting at each other and were about to begin another level of conflict when the representative of the human side had released a dangerous aura that made everyone in the room flinch.

Regent Raine spoke with a cold voice, "Have you guys had enough!?"

Silence~

Even the short-tempered and hot-tempered races had to shut up in the presence of Raine and Luciel. No matter what the other says these two are still the strongest living warriors in Aerd. They were the ones who had chosen Viktor and Angela to be sent in the last war while they stayed at the rear intending only to get out if the demon king had shown himself. Viktor Hart is Li Raine and Li Luciel's disciple. They had trained the young man ever since he entered the academia.

The academia is founded within the Cloud Empire to train future warriors and mages. This was created under the order of the Li royal family and headed by Li Raine and Li Luciel. It is not surprising to hear that they had taught Viktor Hart this new hero of the current generation.

Luciel spoke, "You guys should stop fighting. My brother and I had already read its content. Lots of it is nonsense and something crazier is written within it as well." He pulled out the parchment that the demon king had sent to the light faction.

There isn't even a greeting written on it and the contents were more on the side of demand and the boundary of peace.

The contents are:

[This war had started because the God of Darkness had pulled back his blessing to our race. Abandoned by our Lord we had no other choice but to choose another God to serve. Thankfully, the current and only sovereign of the Divine plane, Lord Avel had bestowed his pity on us and given his blessing to our race.

Now that the other Gods have perished or are missing, the only god in the divine plane is only Sovereign Avel. The former gods of fire, water, and earth are gone forever. Only the former God of Wind, Lord Avel was chosen to replace the former sovereigns and now reign as the only true god.

Sovereign Avel wanted to punish the mortal plane for sheltering the cause of all these catastrophes. The war would stop as long as you surrender the person called Eirwen Night. Give us this person and we, the demon and fallen races, are willing to sign a peace treaty with the light faction.]

The ones who reacted greatly after reading the letter are the people from the Kingdom of Hart.

Crown Princess, Angela Evans, was shocked, "T-They wanted Eirwen-ge!? No way!" she exclaims.

The Crown Prince, Viktor Hart, asked, "Your highness Raine, is this the real letter?"

"Yes, it is," answered Raine, the regent of the empire.

The Regent of the Cloud Empire and the Crown Prince of Kingdom Hart stared at the eyes of each other. They were both seriously trying to look through what the other person was thinking.

Viktor asked, "And what does the regent plan to do?"

"Let's ask the other first before the final decision is concluded but you can say things that may influence the result accordingly," said Raine.

The crown prince nodded his head in agreement.

"Let's begin. My decision is 'No', I do not agree with such rubbish from the Demon King. The Demon King had always been one to do things that would incur trouble anywhere. Do not believe his words." said the Hero of the Cloud Empire, Li Luciel.

The next one to speak is the Elven King, "I do not know who this Eirwen Night is. But if his lone sacrifice is enough to save our side then... I suggest I give him up!"

"This Eirwen Night what did he do that the demon king wanted him?" asked the Beastman king.

The Regent didn't reply right away and remembered that part of the memory that wasn't left by him. It was always like this whenever the Gods borrowed his vessel. It was not only him, his brother Li Luciel is the same. They were both avatars of the Gods and they knew that they would sometimes descend in their land by borrowing their vessel. 

He is the avatar of the God of Darkness while his brother is the vessel for the God of Light. They have always known that these two Gods were not really in conflict. In fact, they were even close as brothers. There is one part of the memories which happened because they didn't do it. It was when both Gods borrowed their bodies at the same time. At that time Li Luciel almost died due to an accident during his task as an Adventurer.

Luciel was brought back to the Adventurer's guild intending to ask the Guild Master for help. In the Empire, aside from him and Luciel, it was Kirk, the Guild Master who possessed strength and influence second to them. Unfortunately, Kirk was out that time. Just when he thought that Lucien wouldn't survive before he arrived in the Guild, it was that man named Eirwen Night who made a move and treated his brother.

By the time he arrived at the guildhall, the regent saw his brother being hit by Eirwen Night and with the latter trying to escape. The appearance of that person is absolutely ordinary and he thought that the Gods were playing around that time. He surrendered his body to the God of Darkness. When the two gods had left, Eirwen Night from his memory became an overly beautiful man. This person Eirwen Night possesses a face that could overwhelm even the most beautiful woman in the empire.

Drawn out silver hair that is almost as white as snow. The kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. So divine, making it hard for someone to forget. Those pair of Argent orbs which are clearly the shade of coldness yet looking at him, this person's eyes soften staring at him gently and dotingly as if he is the only person in the world he had given his heart to. He possessed a cold temperament but when interacting with him, the atmosphere around him was obviously welcoming.

But sadly that kind of Eirwen Night is not just for everyone to see. That person only treated him like that because at that time the Regent Raine wasn't him but the God of Darkness. It was never him which that person smiled at. It was never him which that person looks so lovingly with. It will never be him. 

Raine and Luciel knew this in their heart. But the memories that were left behind were everlasting. They felt that it was really them which that person is passionately in love with.

When the Fallen God, Araysh, and the Ice spirit king, Neige had come over to meet them asking for a piece of land from the main island for their lords, at first they couldn't believe it. Lord Araysh told them that the Light God and Dark God had finally descended to be with Eirwen Night. That day their hearts were heartbroken. They thought that since Eirwen Night is human like them that the Gods would get too attached to him and they would have their turn to make that gorgeous person love them instead.

But fate played a joke with them when they heard from the Ice Spirit King the real Identity of Eirwen Night.

He was not a human. In the first place, it is closely impossible for a God much less a Sovereign God like the Light God and Dark God to fall for a human. Their yearning was destroyed when they heard Neige's words.

"The God of Winter would be living on the island with the God of Light and the God of Darkness. They wouldn't directly get involved with the mortal's affairs. But if another god gets involved only then they would make theirs as well." said Neige.

Raine and Luciel didn't hear the rest of the words except for the first four words.

'Eirwen Night is the God of Winter.'
