[Cook Flynn’s POV]

About 4 years ago,

I was among the prodigies in my school where the difference between the others and I was that of heaven and earth.

People hated me more than they liked me and I had more backstabbers than real friends… no, in fact, there weren’t any real genuine friends at all. Just people who used me and those who did not.

Though I wasn’t alone. I couldn’t make friends with humans, but I found someone else to make friends with… Ignis, A Fire Elemental.

Normally, a Fire Elemental shouldn’t be visible to anyone, but for some reason, he was to me. On a random normal day, I found him half dead in a corner. Because of his elemental nature, he was visible even in the darkness and curious as I was; I went closer to him… looked at him for a few moments before…

[Fire of Life]

I used my magic to heal him. With my System, [Fire Generation System] I was able to use fire as my primary element and air as my secondary element.

I just thought that using fire would be helpful, so I did that. Surprisingly, it worked, and he healed up pretty quickly before standing up and looking at me with a deep analysing gaze.

I would be lying if I say that I wasn’t sacred, but for some reason it didn’t feel like he was going to harm me. Which actually turned out to be true later on as he began talking with me.

Since we both had no idea how I could see him, we asked each other multiple curiosity filled questions which we could think of. The other mystery was about how I could understand him, even when he wasn’t speaking our language.

’Must be my System, I suppose,’ I thought as I put it at the back of my mind.

From that day, everyday I kept meeting him after classes. We used to hang out, and I used to feed him using my powers, in exchange for him telling me ways to utilise my powers more strongly.

I had a dream to attend the Arcadia Academy, and I wanted to fulfil that… but I had heard that you need to be stronger even among the strongest to actually have a chance of getting to study there.

Time passed on with our daily meetings, and soon he asked me if I would meet his elemental family. He said that he wanted to go meet them as he would fade and ultimately die if he stayed too far from them for a very long period.

When I heard that for the first time from him, I almost screamed at him. I was really furious as he hid such crucial details that involved his life, but for some reason, he wasn’t as serious as he should be.

Well… in any case, as his best friend, I decided to help him get back to his family. It was quite an interesting journey, but by the end of the week, we actually ended up reaching there…

Only to find myself standing in a circle, taken as a hostage against a certain monster who looked like a hybrid of human and wolf. There was something strange about it and its red eyes.

"I brought a Human for you… now leave my family," spoke the Fire Elemental… the one whom I had thought of as my best friend… the one with whom I fell in love with.

The monster looked at me and then smiled with a really creepy smile before he spoke,"because you took too long… One is not enough. Bring me another one and leave this one here."

Well, that Fire Elemental, rather than getting angry at me, he just sighed as if he knew this was going to happen. He simply just moved in front of me and turned to that monster as he spoke,

"I am really sorry that I used you. I will always value family over anything… even if it means betraying someone’s trust. But I am really glad… glad that he was just an immoral wolf breed, and had so much greed enough to go back on his own words. Cook Flynn, can you please hate me and run away from here?"

I saw him standing in front of me, with his back much wider than before. It was as if the kid that I had known had suddenly grown up to be a man… It was an odd feeling. He betrayed me, but I couldn’t bring myself to hate him…

"Who said you are escaping from here?" that wolf breed vanished before moving behind me immediately as he continued speaking,"do you really think you can escape me with those pathetic powers of yours?"

-Boom!!!!!!

I then saw that Fire Elemental, Ignis, vanishing from there as he attacked that wolf breed, shocking all of us at once.

’Was he really this strong?’ I thought before realising that if he were really that strong, he wouldn’t have needed to bring me here. Looks like as he kept eating my powers, he got much much stronger. Somehow I felt happy thinking about that.

However, that… happiness didn’t last long as Ignis spoke,

"More of them are coming… please run! I beg you!"

"What about you and your family?!" I asked with tears threatening to flow, but in return he only sighed as he observed me and spoke,"I don’t think we have anywhere left to go. Perhaps this… is going to be our grave… it was a nice journey, Cook… maybe in another life we could be together."

Then he continued fighting against that monster, using all his powers while tears began flowing from my eyes as I kept thinking what I should do.

And as if the System heard my plea, I got a new skill

[Hellfire Transfer: Succumb those to that world]

It was a skill with no explanation to anything… and I… I don’t know why… why, but… I thought that sending the Fire Elementals to a place where there is fire… would be a good option.

So I did that… only to find Ignis looking at me with a blank expression before crying tears of fire as he spoke,"why did you do that…?" and then he died before turning into ash.

The wolf breed was dead, and the others were coming there, so collecting the ashes,I ran away from there.

Later on… when I searched about the Hellfire Transfer as I upgraded it more… I found that it was an eternal slavery dimension where any and all beings once entered can never return, trapped to work there for all eternity.
