Lionheart... The bloodline of the once most powerful clan of knights, a lineage so formidable that even gods fought for their loyalty.  

But over time, the bloodline diluted, its strength waning with each generation. 

The Lionhearts, once revered as paragons of might, faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a relic of the past. 

Eventually, they fell so low that they joined the ranks of beggars, a shadow of their former glory.  

Amidst this desperate struggle to survive, only one child of the Lionhearts remained alive... 

Davey Lionheart, a frail nine-year-old boy forced to beg on the streets but carrying a heart of kindness and purity.  

One miraculous day, after 7,000 long years, the pure bloodline of the Lionhearts awakened within Davey. 

The power of his ancestors, thought to have been lost forever, burned brightly once more. 

This awakening caught the attention of Aria, the Goddess of Light, who had once protected the Lionhearts. 

Aria tasked Davey with a divine mission... to slay the demon lord destined to plunge the world into chaos.  

With the blessings of the strongest goddess and the might of his awakened bloodline, Davey rose to the top of the world. 

By the age of 19, he had become the youngest and most powerful knight in history. 

His kindness was boundless... he devoted himself to helping others, spreading the name of Aria, and claiming nothing for himself.  

But this kindness became the seed of his downfall.  

In the climactic battle against the demon lord, Davey triumphed but at the cost of his right arm... 

It was a sacrifice he made to save his comrades. 

To a knight, the loss of their sword arm was equal to losing everything. Davey, the world’s greatest hero, was now powerless.  

And the world only worshipped the strong.  

Those he once saved... the comrades he protected, the woman he loved, and the commoners he gave everything for... turned on him. 

Even the goddess he had worshipped and sacrificed for scorned him. 

Betrayed and abandoned, Davey wandered the world for four long years as the fallen knight, enduring ridicule and humiliation.  

His end came in the most gruesome way. Betrayed by those he had once saved, his limbs were severed, and he was left to be devoured alive by wild beasts.  

Even in his final moments, Davey prayed to Aria, hoping the goddess would extend a hand of mercy. 

But his prayers fell on deaf ears.  

In his last breath, betrayed by the people he cherished and the goddess he worshipped, Davey’s soul burned with rage. 

The knight who once lived to save... now desired only to kill.  

But karma is impartial. It represents the Balance of everything after all.  

Fate intervened, granting Davey a second chance. In the void between life and death, he was given a choice...

- Join the Divines.
- Embrace the Demons.

Loathing the gods and the people who betrayed him, Davey chose the demons, vowing to destroy everything he once served.  

But to his surprise, he woke up in a completely different world where qi cultivation and longevity reigned supreme. 

A strange, eerie energy lingered in the air. 

Hovering before him was a peculiar, glowing window with letters slowly forming... 

[Connecting to the host...]

But he who had been betrayed once by everything he held dear did not trust anyone... not even in the face of death.

Davey refused the system’s help, instead, chose to pursue invincibility with his own strength.

Seeing this, a certain entity smiled, and another window appeared...

[The System will not appear unless the host calls for it with all his heart.]
