it has been a few years since Vicer had been brought back to life, it was a shock to see how far the world has come since his time, however, the three factions have a tighter hold on the planet than he remembered, and unfortunately, he will get to know how power means everything to some.
---------------------------------------------

'will this forest ever end?'

Vicer thought to himself, he had been walking for what felt like days, the forest he was in was just a few miles away from Kouh, however, he couldn't scratch the feeling he was being watched, eventually, he came out to a small abandoned church, it smelt both holy and none-holy, as he walks up to the door the feeling of being watched but he enters anyways, A Figure stood behind the altar, the darkness of the room covered what they looked like 

???: "Oh? What's this, another lost soul?~" 

"how about you come into the light and we shall find out"

the figure does so, they were A young man with short white hair and red eyes, he was dressed in clerical clothing

Freed: "where are my manners, my names Freed, and what's yours~" 

the man had such a creepy smile, had to think he was a priest 

 "for now you can just call me Watcher" 

Freed: "Watcher huh? quite a title, what do you do, Watch people bleed out~" 

it finally clicked in Vicer's head as a holy sword was driven through Vicer's back, a gush of blood poured from his chest as the blade went through him, however, Vicer did not stumble or make a sound

Freed: "hehe forgive me but I was tasked on keeping Devil's like you away from Lady Raynare, no hard feelings riiiiiight?~" 

Vicer the blade was slowly pulled from his back, as soon as the blade has out of Vicer he took the chance to spin around, a cultist of some kind had stabbed him, Vicer grips the cultists head with one hand and lifted him up, the sound of bones crushing could be heard as the Cultists screamed in pain and flare's around trying to break free, after a few seconds the cultist stopped moving, Vicer drop's his body, Freed could see what happened, the ma's head was crushed from Vicer's grip 

"I...am no devil, nor will your 'holy swords' and your 'blessed bullets' will stop me...I feel no pain"

Vicer's body had begun heating up, red ember marks littered across his outfit, seems whatever this 'Ember' stuff is, it gave Vicer a boost in strength 

Freed: "haha, oh ill have fun killing you~" 

'This man is a psychopath, great' 

Vicer reached behind his back, a sword instantly forming as he draws a Greatsword 

???: "ENOUGH!" 

two light spears strick between Vicer and Freed as four people come in from behind Freed, three girls, one Male, the male was a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes, His attire consisted of a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora, the three girls he could barley see thanks to lighting 

???: "Freed, explain what is going on here" 

Freed: "well you see that devil there came in, so I decided to kill him~" 

"Stop comparing me to devils before I rip your head off..." 

Freed: "which one~" 

"All of them." 

???: "well you say your not a devil, but your power is certainly not human, what are you?" 

"until you earn my trust I shall reveal nothing." 

???: "wait, I KNOW YOU! well know what you are"

???: "the come-on spill it" 

???: "remember how Azazel said that some devil tried to overthrow Lucifer but his servant murdered both him and his two followers?" 

???: "no...t-that cant be you right?" 

"that devil broke into our crypt and tried to use me to further his own goals, I am NO-ONE'S PAWN"

one of the girls lightly gulp's 

???: "well how about this then, I offer you a part of my group" 

"if I refuse you would try to kill me anyway's...I accept for now." 

Raynare: "smart, my name is Raynare, follow me and ill fix that hole in your chest" 

Vicer slowly follows her through an underground passage, as they walked Vicer decided to ask a big question 

"why are fallen angels on devil turf?"

Raynare: "well you see, someone with a very powerful sacred gear is in this town, I want them killed before they know what's happening" 

"I assume the devils already know of this, so makes you so sure they won't swoop in as they're dying?" 

Raynare: "pfft, there devil's, I doubt they even know about it" 

'underestimating the enemy leads to trouble'

Vicer just nod's his head, they eventually reach where Vicer will be staying, it was a small room with a single bed, and a bathroom attached to it 

Raynare: "alright, here is your room" 

"thank's, you can go now" 

She shrugs and walks off as Vicer enter's the room, taking off his cap and shirt, revealing a stab wound, Vicer clenched his fist as the wound started to burn shut, this he could feel, it was like he was walking through burning hot lava, as the wound finally closes Vicer let out a deep sigh followed by light panting 

'healing like this takes a lot out of me, but I don't know what's worse, being drawn into these people's mission or the fact that I'm known by two factions...who am I kidding, Heaven probably knows of me as well...why must I be the only one who was brought back'

Vicer laid down and slowly closed his eyes, he might as well try to sleep while he can

----------------[MEANWHILE back at the crypt]-----------------------

???: "so, this is where he was brought back from...interesting, wonder what secrets lay here" 

the figure reached out towards a skull goblet
