Chapter 1: The Birth of Ranko

The world was once peaceful. Cities flourished, families lived in harmony, and nature thrived under clear blue skies. But hidden beneath this tranquility lay forces beyond human comprehension—forces that would soon awaken and change everything forever.

A Child Born with a Destiny

In a small town surrounded by mountains, a child was born under a crimson moon. His mother, Nishimura, held him close, her face glowing with love despite her exhaustion. Musller, his father, stood nearby, watching over them with sharp, knowing eyes. He was no ordinary man—he possessed powers beyond imagination, powers he had kept hidden from the world.

"Ranko," Nishimura whispered, gently touching the baby's tiny fingers. "Our son will grow strong."

Musller remained silent, but deep inside, he knew the truth. This child was destined for something far greater than an ordinary life.

A Childhood of Mystery

As Ranko grew, strange things happened around him. When he cried, the wind outside howled like a raging storm. When he laughed, flowers bloomed even in the harshest winter. His father trained him in secret, teaching him to control the energy within him.

But unlike Musller, Ranko had a normal childhood—playing with his friends, Daino and Maiko, exploring forests, and dreaming of adventure. Yet, in the shadows, something sinister was already moving.

The World Begins to Change

One fateful night, the sky darkened unnaturally, and an eerie silence fell over the town. Musller sensed it first. The air was thick with an unfamiliar energy—something dark, something evil.

Then, they came.

The devils.

They tore through the world like a raging storm, their grotesque forms twisting reality itself. The peaceful world Ranko had known was no more. Cities crumbled, the sky turned black, and people either vanished or became monsters.

Musller fought with all his might, his power shaking the heavens, but even he could not stop the transformation. The world had become a devil world, and Ranko's fate had been sealed.

A New Future Awaits

As Ranko stood amidst the ruins of his home, he felt something stir deep within him. This was no longer the world of his childhood. If he wanted to survive, if he wanted to avenge those lost, he would have to fight.

And so, his journey began.
