Deku Pride

Growing up in poverty, Damien worked tirelessly—harder than anyone else—to support the people he cared about and eventually became a politician, loved by "All". Khoran, an emperor who rose from humble beginnings in a small village, forged one of the five greatest nations to ever exist in Cavros.

Watch as our protagonist traverses through the world of Cavros, a land consumed by corruption, and Earth, which had tasted the early stages of it only a few years ago. And watch how our protagonist becomes... The future Undead Lord of Gluttonous Pride...
