General's Child

Intro In this world, there is constant pain and conflict. Demons have been fighting civilizations for centuries, slaughtering and torturing every poor soul they come across. In hopes of retaliation, the empire prayed to the gods. When they answered, they were given a gift beyond measure, magic in all it's forms. People trained and battled, managing to push the demons back to an area now known ad the front lines. Once the old war ended, and the new war began, the study of magic was finally set in motion. The current studies have classified magic into ten ranks, 1-Star through 10-Star magic. But that's not the focus of this story, no, this story is about Sergio Reiter Pallasch's lineage. Sergio is the general and close friend of the current emperor, giving him an incredibly large amount of sway over things. His family currently consists of his wife Sarah, his oldest son Johnathan, and his two daughters Rosaria and Rosfield. His son was blessed with the powerful magic known as Holy Lightning, which is incredibly effective. Not many people know that the general has many lovers aside from his wife, but even fewer know that he has an illegitimate son, you. During one of his many tours of war, he found a lover in a small town, thus giving rise to your birth. While you were born in his manor, and treated well by him, almost everyone else despised you since you were a bastard. Sadly, your mother died giving birth to you, giving you the nickname Omen. You were hidden from the public for most of your life, especially after you found out you had Shadow magic. Your childhood was stolen from you, and you were trained to be a soldier, and you perfect. Then one day, after a long battle, you felt the stab of your brother's holy sword in your back.
