King Edluna of the Starliege Kingdom issued a memorandum early in the morning announcing the return of his beloved son, Prince Julius Friedrick Asters Starliege III with the valiant Starknights.
The Kingdom of Starliege is situated in the realm of a thousand stars. It's supported by three gigantic Pillars with galaxies in it. The city itself is white and towering buildings can be seen from afar. The castle is heavens high and above it is a machine the Starlians call 'The Heavens Eyes' or T.H.E.
The Starlians have been at war with the Nightmares for Generations and are currently at a stalemate at Heavens Fall Realm. This realm has been ravaged by a 500 years war between the Nightmares and Starlians. The forces of Nightmares are described as beings covered with pitch black aura and have very good reflexes, smart and cunning. The Nightmares have learned to adapt and evolve throughout the centuries. This is the reason why the Starlians were pushed back from The Land of Demise all the way to Heavens Fall.
Prince Julius was the one who led the defense of Heavens Fall and held out the enemy forces there for 500 Starlian Years. With his General, RavenX and the four billion Starknights they waged war at Heavens Fall and managed to inflict a fatal wound to the Nightmare Queen.
The stories of this historical event were broadcasted across Sevenths, a broadcasting magic designed and configured by the Seven Heroes.
I was one of the kids there who watched the glorious parade at Kalsada de Starlian. The largest road in the whole of Starliege and is at the center of the city directly towards the castle. I idolized Prince Julius because of his kind-hearted personality and strong will to protect and serve the people of Starliege.
"I want to be great like him one day."

"Knight. Knight!" A teacher called out to the sleeping boy with black hair.
The teacher threw a chalk piece towards Knight and hit his forehead in which he replied with a hurt expression.
"What was that for teach?!" He questioned while rubbing his sore forehead.
"Why are you always sleeping in my class, young man?" The old man asked him.
"I'm so sorry Sir. I promise it won't happen again."
Just as the old man's about to say something the school bell rang.
"Lunch break!" He stood up and took his bag.
"See you tomorrow, teach!" The boy jumped out the window.
The professor just smiled and let out a sigh.
"What do I do with him?" He said and took his books lying on the table.
"First form, wind skateboard."
A strong wind began to gather at Knight's feet and took the form of a skateboard.
"I am Knight Yul Gale. A second year student at Boys and Girls Starlian University."
He pleasantly skated up in the sky with the birds and sky whales.
"I am an orphan and is currently staying at my friend's home."
When he passed through a watchtower, he greeted the guards there who're kind enough to greet him in return. He entered a group of clouds and stood straight with both of his hands stretched sidewards. Feeling the soothing and cold breeze of the wind.
After quite some time staying inside the clouds, he began his descent towards a wooden home outside the main city wall located on farmland.
"Good afternoon Miss Elize." He greeted a woman who's hanging up clothes.
"Good afternoon Knight." She replied.
Knight just finished undoing his magic and is currently descending towards the grassy land.
"Is Canan home?"
"You're late." A boy said who's sitting on the side of the house on a wooden chair.
"I knew I shouldn't have stayed up in the clouds again." Knight said with a smile on his face.
"You boys should eat lunch and prepare for your afternoon class."
"Yes Mother / Miss Elize" Knight and Canan said in unison.
The two of them entered the house and prepared for lunch.
"So, anything interesting happened during the morning classes?" Canan asked while taking the hot pot of stew.
"Oh nothing, just the usual." Knight answered who's currently placing plates on the table.
"Is that so?"
"Have you heard of the castle opening again?" Knight asked Canan who just finished placing the stew on a small bowl.
"No idea. I've heard rumors about the King sending additional troops at the front but other than that nothing more."
The castle gates were closed ever since a magic phenomenon 13 years ago. It was when the west pillar began to emit some kind of radiating aura followed by a rumbling sound.
"I wonder what really happened back then 13 years ago." Knight sat on the wooden chai and faced the already eating friend.
"You really should say grace before a meal , you know."
"What? I'm hungry." He replied to Knight's scolding with a full mouth. Canan is six years older than Knight but even though the gap is quite large, Knight always scolds him.
Just as Knight's about to eat they heard a rumbling sound similar to what they heard 13 years ago.
The two of them quickly went outside to see what's happening. The sound is coming from the west pillar. The giant pillars can be seen through the sky and to their surprise, the pillar's left side began to show some cracks.
"This is bad." Canan said with a worried face.
The Kingdom's alarm went off and the whole city of Starlia witnessed the alarming event occurring before their eyes. A piece of the crack began to separate from the pillar and fall from the sky.
Although it's only a piece it's destructive because of how big the pillar is. The Kingdom's magic cannons began firing at the debri but to no effect.
"It's headed directly toward the central park!" Canan shouted.
"Oh no, there's a lot of people there." Miss Elize said worriedly.
Knight who's witnessing it all were in complete shock and is frozen to where he stood up.
"The city itself is massive. One park can accommodate roughly five hundred thousand people. It's nothing compared to the central park."
Just as everything seems to be useless the castle gates opened. A large magical blast came from someone who stood outside the gate and it disintegrated the large debri.
After the debri's destruction, the two large gates closed, shutting the castle again.
The phenomenon that's happening now in Starlia will be known throughout the seven realms and will be written in history.
A History in which no one will ever forget.
~ Stargem: Rewrite ~
~ Inside the Starliege Council ~ "Your Majesty, we cannot put aside what just occurred. The fact that a piece of the west pillar almost destroyed the central park is a sign of the nearing cataclysmic event we all feared." One of the elders said to his Majesty the King, Edluna Tristan Charlemagne Starliege. "My King, Sir Iruna, is correct. We must be vigilant and make our move. If our enemies were to get the information that we're currently facing a dire situation this could make our enemies morale high and ours low." Commander Eduardo voiced out. "What do you suggest, councilmen?" Edluna asked in a deep, well-mannered and calm voice. "We must continue our search for the Stargem." Iruna suggested. "You still believe that the gem exists? Our ancestors have searched and explored the seven realms for centuries and they all have failed!" -Councilman 2
"I have failed to save whom I love and the country where I was born." A voice of a man said in a resonating sound in the dark. "It's time for you to rewrite where I've failed." When the voice finished speaking, Knight suddenly got up from his sleep and looked confused as he started to look around to search and find out who's the source of the mysterious voice. "I must be hearing things." He checked his Seven and looked at the time. "It's almost three in the morning." He yawned and headed downstairs to prepare for the registration at Boys and Girls Starlian University. Miss Elize is already downstairs cooking breakfast and notices Knight walking down. "You're up early." "Have you seen Canan, Miss Elize?" He asked. "He's outside doing training. Why don't you head outside? This(cooking) could still take a while." She said with a sm
Knight, unaware of the situation, sat on the wooden bench outside the Supreme Principal's office while facing the wall. He's been sitting there for almost twenty minutes and while he's in there. The announcement through Sevenths came. A large piece of rook appeared above Boys and Girls Starlian University. "Greetings dear participants of this great Starlian day." A deep-resonating voice said. It was the voice of King Edluna. "I thank you all for participating in this historic event. You must be wondering why we must do something like this." A large kilometers-wide barrier soon covered the entire school. The barrier separated the school from the outside, blocking anyone who wishes to enter the school grounds as well as those who wish to leave. A projection in the heavens appeared showing the solar system.
~ History of the Great Defense at Heavens Fall ~ Heavens Fall is once a beautiful realm filled with magical creatures. The land was once filled with life. Flower petals can be seen floating up towards the sky before disintegrating into smaller particles, contributing to the natural magic of the planet. Numerous floating islands can be seen in the blue sky and it's under the bright and warm light of three suns and at night, two moons can be seen up in the sky. The capital planet of Heavens Realm is called Heavens Fall. It's 6,000x bigger than the third planet from the former solar system. The residents of Heavens Fall are called the Fallens. Their race may sound suspicious and dangerous, but it's the exact opposite. They are kind and protectors of this land. They possess a power called the void and are believed to be the descendants of the Angel Race from the unknown region. All was well and p
Knight is sitting on a wooden armchair facing Von and in between them is a wooden table.Lance and Beatrice were also still present in the room and carefully analyzing Knights magical power that's surging yet contained masterfully within his body. It's almost impossible to detect without the aid of a magical item. Beatrice's magical item is her earring on her right ear and Lance's were his grimoire, a black book that he carries on his left hip secured by a leather strap.Von made a gendo pose - (a thinking pose with both hands in front of the eyes and elbows on the table.) - and looked directly at Knight."Are you certain that you do not know what power you possess?" He asked.Knight just replied to his question by nodding.&nb
The race continues and they're still nowhere near half of the course.Few of them have started to feel thirst and others are showing signs of exhaustion because of mana depletion and running out of strength."Looks like some of us are weaklings." Peter said while observing the others.He saw some of the SS+ classes just relaxing and some were even reading books."As expected of the higher classes." He turns his sight up ahead.(Weaklings shouldn't be even participating in this exam. As well as that orphan second year.) He said in his mind."Still aren't tired yet Lance?" Beatrice asks the running man while flying in a supine position (lying position fa
Another three hours have passed and there are only 26,000 participants remaining in the race. Almost half had already been eliminated.How did this happen?~ 1 hour earlier ~While the participants were passing on a tree, the first tree that they saw was on this floor. They felt something odd.Knight noticed the boy wearing the hoodie closed the book he's reading. He watches closely through the monitor because of curiosity as to why the man suddenly did such action.Almost simultaneously, one fall after the other."What's happening?" He asked the Von who's watching carefully."The tree th
After the first examination, Knight was dismissed by Supreme Principal Von and was escorted by Lance and Beatrice. They insisted on walking him home but he said that he needed to go somewhere else.They gave him their Seven's contact numbers and instructed him to call them if something happened as instructed by Supreme Principal Von. They said their goodbyes and Knight hopped on his wind skateboard and began to skate towards the central park.It was nearly sunset and while on the way he was thinking about what Von said to him before leaving the Office.___Earlier inside the office___"Knight, if something happens do not hesitate to go directly to me."Knight was about to leave the room with Lance and Bea
~ Nightmare Empire ~The queen is sitting on her throne inside an empty throne room. She was expressionless as she touched the left side of her stomach. The two closed doors of the room opened and two military personnel wearing a white mask and a cape entered the room. They saw Her Majesty touching the spot where she was stabbed and they began to worry."Is everything alright, My Queen?" The girl asked."I am fine. Thank you for worrying." She replied."My Queen, I must insist that you continue your rest and focus on recovering." Said the boy."We will take care of everything until the day you fully recover." He added."I appreciate your concerns
Millions of Nightmares of all classes are gathered in front of a pitch black castle. Above the stairs are thirteen commanders, each wearing a white mask and carrying a Muerte Sword. Muerte Swords or Death Swords are the same as a Dark Crystal Sword that the Crimson Eyed Warriors use. The difference is that they do not dematerialize and they are capable of sucking the soul of their victim. These souls will add to the sword's strength and will pass the knowledge and skills of the victim's soul to its wielder. There are only 13 Muerte Swords in the Nightmare Empire and they are given to 13 compatible wielders. These 13 wielders are put to an extreme survival competition where there are 15,000 competitors, a competition to kill and survive. Out of the fifteen thousand, 2,000 will remain and be tested to wield the Muerte Swords. Muerte Swords are very selective to their wielders. If the sword does not recognize the one holding
After they were all interrogated because of the attack, Shó arrived with a grim expression. The Ring of Water was bestowed upon him by the king to weild. It was silent and the atmosphere was heavy because of the negativity that the attack caused, and the loss of a ring bearer.Knight and Princess Yuna did not attend the ceremony and they were also out of the palace grounds. Both of them were sitting on the fountain wall in Central Park."Are you sure you're okay?"She looked at him and smiled. He knew that there was fear and sadness behind her smile."Yeah. I just need some time to process all that has happened tonight." She changed her appearance to Franziene before going to Central Park to hide her true identity.
~ Heavens Fall ~ When Onimura heard the news, he demanded to allow him to go back to Starliege to check on his brother's safety. His demand was rejected by an officer from the Transport Corps because it was a selfish request. He was then restrained by Canan from punching the officer and told him to calm down. Diana came with a fierce face and slapped Onimura on his left cheek. "Can you calm down lieutenant Onimura?!" She shouted. "You're not the only one who is eager to go home because of the news. In fact, this was the first time our homeland was directly attacked and it was completely defenseless seeing how an enemy battleship slip past our defense force. You're not the only one with a family back in Starliege. You're a Starknight, a member of the Dragoon Squad. Live up to that title and come to your senses. The enemy ship had alr
With the new enemy, no…it was a returning enemy.The Forgotten have shown themselves at last and are currently amassing their forces at the Realm of Sol. When did this ruthless race form an alliance with the forces of chaos(the Nightmares)?"You've got to be kidding me." Onimura said while looking at the project inside the tent.The massive gate was seen by an Oculus Class cruiser, a 2,000 km ship that specializes in reconnaissance and spying. Using the Super Ability Mejora Visual, the Oculus captured a blurry image of the massive gate as well as objects exiting the crimson gate."We've been expecting their return, but not this early." - Diana"Who are they?" Onimura asked.
Loud sirens of the responding emergency ships can be heard across the city as the section of the city beneath the behemoth enemy battleship burns. The city wall cannons continue to fire at the enemy vessel but it continues to give a negative effect on the ship.Eduardo's transport just went out of District 13's gate and he was completely shocked by the horrifying scene that met his sight.

The celebration continues and the quests are completely unaware of the current battle at the gate. Even so, Oscar noticed the sudden increase of Starknights in the room, each armed with swords.He begins to suspect that something is happening.A Starknight approached Edluna from his left and whispered something. The king looked at Von and saw a nod from the man.Von put his glass of wine on the table and exited the great hall with four Royal Guards.Knight saw Von leaving the room and he began to think that there must be something going on. He also heard several explosions earlier but he thought that it was just fireworks. No one in the crowd also felt so worried about it so he just put aside his thoughts and
While eating, Knight is being wary of his actions not to agitate or insult the Princess.'Why is he being like that?' She asked the pink spirit.'I don't know. Maybe he's just shy.' It replied.'Why don't you ask him?' Pink added.'What? Me?' She took a peek at Knight who's carefully eating and then looked back at her plate.'I'm shy, and it looks like he's under pressure.''Well duhh. You're the Princess and he just learned that, and by looking at his expression, he knows that you're also Franziene.''Oh right the handkerchief earlier.' - Yuna'He might've also seen your
After being dressed in a white suit, Knight was escorted to a luxurious waiting room prepared only for him. He was instructed by the butler to patiently wait and feel at home while he is waiting to be summoned to the Great Hall. While sitting on the couch, he remembered the hostile look that Peter gave him earlier during his conversation with the king.He's still thinking of what the king has said about him being the fiancé of the princess whom he never met."Am I even good enough for the princess?" He asked himself and waited if the spirit would respond, but he got no reply.He leaned his back on the couch and looked up at the floating chandelier. He just observed the lights, he slowly pulled out from his left pocket the pink handkerchief of Franziene and made it float di
