The divine war raged between the King of Demons, Shika, who ruled Hell, and his brother, Anon, the King of Gods. Their battle was the fiercest the realms had ever seen, but in a twist of fate, a cataclysmic event unfolded. As the two mighty rulers clashed, their swords met in a deadly arc. Their heads were severed simultaneously, resulting in a draw that defied all expectations. However, something extraordinary occurred. The blood from the Kings of Demons and Gods poured onto a nearby sword, which absorbed the divine and demonic essence.
The blade fused into a godly, devilish weapon, now imbued with an entity known as Morgel—a neutral, cheeky, and immensely powerful Heavenly Devil. Morgel was a being capable of slaying both gods and demons. But the power of the sword was so overwhelming that it vanished from existence. Only those who were worthy—true warriors of immense strength—would one day wield it.
The Search for the Demonic Divine Eclipsebane
Both the gods and demons sought the sword with relentless determination, but after centuries of searching through realms and lands, they found nothing. The sword, now named the Demonic Divine Eclipsebane, had disappeared without a trace.
The Kings of the gods and demons reincarnated, yet the sword remained lost, hidden from the world. The gods were convinced it was a mere myth, but they could not shake the nagging fear of its power. As the reincarnated Kings, Anon and Shika, began their new lives, the gods had the upper hand. Their goal was simple: crush the demons and eliminate the Demon King. But they realized they could not kill Shika. So, they devised a plan to seal him away forever.
The Creation of the Crimsons
Knowing the gods would soon come for him, Shika created a new breed of powerful creatures—beasts unlike any the world had ever seen. The Crimsons, dragon-like beings that possessed immense strength, were born. Each Crimson represented a different power, their abilities tied to the colors of their scales.
Red Crimson could emit red flames and lightning, a force of pure destruction. These creatures were not just weapons but beings with hearts and souls. As Shika’s final act before his sealing, he sought out human vessels—warriors capable of wielding the Crimsons, ensuring their spirits would continue to live on after the war ended.
The Betrayal of Family

Years passed, and Shika’s plan unfolded. One of the chosen vessels was a young boy named Crimber Chrono, heir to the Chrono family. But as Crimber’s day of awakening approached, tragedy struck. After a long day at school, Crimber returned home to find his house engulfed in blue flames. Panic surged through him as he ran toward the burning building. Inside, he found his mother’s lifeless body and heard a familiar voice—a voice filled with mockery.
It was his uncle, the very knight who had served the Tri Kingdom with honor. “See, Crimber? Your father, your mother, your entire family—they’re gone,” his uncle taunted. “You’re nothing. Your legacy ends here.”
Betrayed by his own blood, Crimber rushed to his mother, her final breath heavy in the air. She whispered, “Meet your father upstairs…” and closed her eyes forever. Crimber, devastated, stepped outside to find his uncle standing with a smug grin, surrounded by a group of soldiers. "Shall we kill him?" one of the soldiers asked.
Crimber’s uncle replied with a cruel smile, “No, let him live. He's just a child now. He won’t be able to inherit anything without his father. Let him suffer.”
But before Crimber could even react, a man in armor—Lord Blue Crimson—approached. His uncle nodded, signaling the end of his bloodline. But Lord Blue Crimson, sensing something different about the child, ordered his men to stand down. "We will leave him," the knight said. "For now."
In his father’s final moments, Crimber rushed to his side. His father, weak and bloodied, stretched out his hand. “Every Crimson gets their new vessel at the age of 10,” he whispered, “and now, you are 10, Crimber. The clock has struck 12.”
As his father’s life slipped away, Crimber’s body surged with power. The essence of Red Crimson—the very soul of the mighty dragon—flowed through him. In his last moments, his father whispered, “I love you, son…”
The Awakening of the Crimson
Agony and rage consumed Crimber. As the life of his father faded, a new fire ignited within him. The flames of Red Crimson coursed through his veins. His eyes turned to molten fire, his hair shifting to the same red hue as the dragon’s flames.
“I will return one day,” Crimber declared, his voice dripping with vengeance. “And I will make you pay, Uncle. And you, Blue Crimson. Mark my words, I will rise, and the gods will tremble.”
With a final burst of crimson energy, Crimber soared into the sky, vanishing into the night, leaving behind a trail of smoke and fire.
The Return of the Gods' Wrath
The gods were not blind. They had learned of Crimber’s awakening and the rise of the new Crimson vessel. Determined to crush him before he could grow stronger, they sent armies to hunt him down. However, they did not realize the extent of the monster they had just created. A child—fueled by vengeance, pain, and the blood of a demon king—was now the harbinger of destruction.
What the gods didn’t know was that this act of cruelty would eventually lead to their undoing. The blood of the demons and gods had intertwined once more, but this time, it was not a weapon that would be wielded by a god. It was a child, a vessel of revenge, destined to bring about the very end of the gods themselves.
