The story begins with the destruction of Zephyros, the kingdom known as the "Winds of Lions." The once-peaceful land trembled under the wrath of Raijin, a fearsome adversary whose motives were as devastating as his powers.
"Soldiers, hide behind me," Raijin commanded his dark forces, his voice dripping with malice. "I will obliterate this wretched school and the entire kingdom of Zephyros!"
With a thunderous roar, explosions echoed throughout the land. The earth quaked as ceilings crumbled and the ground split open.
In the garden of the great academy, Nullish, the mighty hero and Kenzo's father, was teaching his students.
"Hmm..." Nullish muttered, his senses sharp. "Guards, who is responsible for this chaos?"
"We don't know, my lord," one guard replied, trembling. "We see no one outside."
Nullish frowned. "It must be him... Raijin." His tone grew grim. "He's too powerful, invisible even to the eyes of magic knights and ordinary people alike!"Hahaha!" Raijin's laughter pierced the air. "That's what you get for betraying me!"
The students watched in horror as their mentor fell. One brave student ran to warn Nullish's family, his heart pounding with fear.
"Raijin killed Master Nullish!" the student cried as he burst into Kenzo's home.
Kenzo's mother, her face pale but resolute, grabbed her child. "Take him and run! Protect him!"
"But-"
"Go!" she ordered, her voice firm.
The student obeyed, clutching the infant Kenzo as he fled. Behind him, Raijin arrived, his wrath unrelenting. Without hesitation, he struck down Kenzo's mother, leaving no mercy in his wake.
The student ran as fast as he could, but Raijin pursued him relentlessly. The chase led to a cliffside, where the river roared below. Cornered, the student made a desperate decision.The guards gasped in unison. "Raijin? Your brother?!"
"Yes," Nullish confirmed, his voice heavy with regret. "There's no time to explain. Everyone, hide now! He's here."
As the students scattered in fear, Raijin emerged from the shadows, his laughter echoing like thunder. "Hahaha! Your precious school, your kingdom, everything is falling apart! Stop me if you can, dear brother."
Nullish stepped forward, his expression steely. "What do you want, Raijin?"
"What do I want?" Raijin smirked before his expression twisted into rage. "How could I forget that you killed my wife!"
Nullish's eyes narrowed. "She was out of control. She would've destroyed us all, including you."
Raijin's face darkened. "And for that, you'll pay. I've become more than a mere mortal-I am the Super Demon Lord, Ultra!" He gestured toward Nullish. "Oh, and one more thing... You've been cursed. Your body will fail you without unnatural power."
Nullish lunged at Raijin, his blade gleaming in the chaos. But Raijin blocked it effortlessly and, with a swift counterattack, struck Nullish down. Blood stained the ground as Nullish's head fell from his body.Forgive me, young master," he whispered before throwing Kenzo into the river.
The infant floated away as Raijin caught up. "Where is the child?!" he demanded.
The student stood tall, defiant. "You'll never find him."
Enraged, Raijin killed the student and turned toward the river, only to be interrupted by a battered but alive Nullish.
"Brother!" Raijin roared. "You're still breathing?"
Nullish, bloodied but unyielding, replied, "Did you truly think I'd fall so easily?"
The two brothers clashed, their powers colliding in a battle that shook the heavens. Nullish, knowing he couldn't win, made a heartbreaking choice.
He touched the unconscious Kenzo and whispered, "I'm sorry, my son. I must take your magic to protect you and this kingdom. You must never give up."
Nullish unleashed the last of his strength, his pure aura clashing against Raijin's dark power. The battle ended in a massive explosion, leaving both brothers seemingly destroyed.In the aftermath, magic knights arrived, carrying Kenzo to safety. Unknown to them, Raijin's body was retrieved by a mysterious figure who declared, "I am the Super Demon Lord. No one touches him and lives."
Years passed, and Zephyros mourned the loss of its mighty hero and his family. The king, hiding the truth, declared Kenzo dead to protect him.
But Kenzo survived.
12 Years Later
In the forest, a boy sat by a fire, eating mushrooms, fish, and apples. His clothes were tattered, but his eyes burned with determination.
He climbed to the top of the abandoned kingdom's walls and jumped.
"Look at that boy!" a villager cried.
"He's going to fall!"But Kenzo landed on his feet, grinning. "I'm fine!"
A young prince caught him with a cloth. "You idiot! What are you doing?"
Kenzo smirked and ran off, shouting, "I am Kenzo! I will never give up!"
As he ran, a faint glow appeared on his index finger-a ring, pulsating with mysterious energy.
