Blessed by Night

Chapter 1: A Welcome Call

In the year 2033 it began.

Gods, monsters, devils, angels every higher creature from every mythology began to bless those they found worthy and share their powers.

They became known as the highers.

They never told us the purpose.

Or maybe we were too caught up in what we were being offered to ask why.

But eventually with the emergence of the gates, we realized they were preparing us.

Gates are portals that connect our world to some other reality or plane of existence.

Through these gates we find mythological monsters and magical resources the likes of which were only fantasy until now.

The so called chosen heroes who enter gates are known as the Blessed and in two years it's become the most sought after career in the world.

The Blessed have it all.

Money, fame, admiration and power.

They are the most famous and well known people in the entire world and some are even the leaders of their own nations.

There isn't a single place that a blessed can go and not be swarmed by paparazzi.

They are immensely powerful, beautiful, and charming beings.

While their abilities range from an incredibly wide variety, even the weakest among them can crush a car with their barehands.

After five whole years, we still have no idea what the higher's criteria are for blessing a human.

Normal salarymen, death row inmates, bus drivers and even an old lady are just a few of the beings who were blessed and had their lives turned around overnight.

Blessed have their bodies forcibly changed into peak condition so that little old lady was able to return to her youth and a crippled man was able to run faster than a bullet train.

Despite the seemingly loose criteria, only 1 percent of the population actually end up as blessed and gain the privilege of entering gates and defending our world.

"Jeez that girl…" Malachi didn't feel right about leaving his sister alone but he had no choice.

His shitty job was the only thing that could support them and they had no other family to rely on or turn to.

Both their parents were killed in a gate eruption four years ago and they've been scraping by ever since.

But still he felt guilty about leaving her alone, especially after...

Shaking his head to free himself from dark thoughts, Malachi got into his rusty old car that was currently missing it's front bumper before turning the key and heading to work.

He'd just begun to drive when his phone suddenly started vibrating.

He looked at the name across the dirty screen and smiled when he saw a name he was all too familiar with.

The contact picture showed a divinely beautiful woman with icy white hair and crimson red eyes.

She had smooth white skin that looked like it was made out of marble and was posing back to back with him with an aloof demeanor.

Answering with a swipe across the glass, Malachi's cheerful voice contained no traces of his earlier somber mood.

"How's my favorite blessed doing today?"

----------------------------------------

Thank you for giving my second book a read!

I want to take a moment to say two things :

1. The beginning of this book will have a lot of slice of life and fun stuff, and things won't start getting serious till later on.

2.Malachi is human!

He is just like me and you, so that means that he does cringey things at first, has shortsighted moments and is kinda just your average nice guy.

Therefore, every complaint you're going to make about his personality has already been made before so either watch him grow or fuck off.

He's created to feel like a real person who fails, makes mistakes, and learns along the way.

If that's not your cup of tea then for the love of fucking god do us both a favor and drop this now so that I'll be spared from your unnecessary ass comments 'Hes a cuck, he's too nice, he's so naive, etc.'

Ight, y'all good? Y'all prepared?

Sorry for this lil public service announcement, I'm just at my wits end wit some of you overly aggressive mfs on this site.

Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
