In the beginning, there were five Devils.
The Devil of Water.The Devil of Wind.The Devil of Fire.The Devil of Earth.And the Devil of Lightning.
They were the creators of the world—and of humanity itself.
As a gift, they shared their power with humans, granting each person a life force infused with magic. Every human was born with one of the five elemental abilities, and over time, humanity grew strong.
But thirty years later… everything changed.
A child was born.
His name was Yuto Yamazaki.
Unlike any human before him, Yuto possessed all five powers.
He grew quickly in strength, surpassing every warrior, every leader, every legend. Yet despite his power, he remained calm, kind, and deeply compassionate. People didn't just follow him—they admired him.
Before long, Yuto became the leader of a small but thriving country: Vereland.
But not everyone was pleased.
The Devils watched from afar… and grew jealous.
Their power—the power they had gifted—was now being used by a human who was praised above them.
So, they revealed themselves.
When they unleashed their true strength, humanity finally understood the difference.
Human lightning was bright yellow.
But the Devil of Lightning summoned bolts as black as death, each strike roaring like the end of the world itself.
The same was true for the others. Their power was overwhelming. Unnatural.
Terrifying.
Villages froze in fear. Mothers hid their children. Knights abandoned their posts.
Humanity realized the truth:
They were never equals to the Devils.
But fear soon turned into desperation.
And desperation… into war.
The plan was simple.
Ambush the Devils while they rested.
It was risky. Nearly suicidal.
But with Yuto… they believed they had a chance.
Yuto himself hesitated. He didn't want war.
But when an entire nation cried out for protection…
He stepped forward.
The battlefield became a wasteland.
For miles, the earth was scorched and broken. Trees lay dead, the sky choked with ash. The war lasted weeks, and both sides grew exhausted.
But Yuto kept fighting.
Yuto: "Fire Power: Flaming Fist of Death."
Flames engulfed his arm as he drove his fist forward, striking the Devil of Fire. The impact exploded across the battlefield, scorching the ground beneath them.
The Devil of Fire collapsed.
Devil of Water: "Devil Water: Water Vortex."
A massive spiral of water erupted, tearing through soldiers and crushing everything in its path.
Yuto vanished in a flash.
Lightning surged around him as he moved.
A technique of his own creation—
Lightning Dragon.
He reappeared beyond the vortex, untouched.
Yuto: "Fire Power: Flame Shuriken."
A blazing, spinning projectile tore through the air.
The Devil of Wind failed to dodge.
The attack struck clean.
The Devil's body locked—paralyzed, nearly defeated.
Only three Devils remained.
Wounded.
Desperate.
They unleashed everything.
Devil of Lightning: "Devil Lightning: Lightning Strike."
A bolt of black lightning screamed across the battlefield.
It struck Yuto's arm.
Bone shattered. Flesh tore.
Devil of Earth: "Devil Earth: Collapsing Wall."
Massive walls of stone rose and crashed toward him.
Yuto forced his body to move—barely dodging as the ground exploded around him.
He prepared to strike again—
But the battlefield fell silent.
The Devils… were gone.
Even the fallen ones had vanished.
The war was over.
Yuto stood alone.
Victorious.
When he returned home, he was barely alive.
His body was broken. His life was fading.
His nine wives rushed to his side, doing everything they could to heal him—but it wasn't enough.
They were all pregnant.
Weak.
Terrified.
And Yuto knew the truth.
He wasn't going to survive.
Yuto: "I have to go… There's something I must do… for everyone."
Marie: "No! You can't—you'll die!"
Marie, the kindest of his wives, clung to him, tears streaming down her face.
But she already knew.
She couldn't stop him.
Yuto left.
Behind him, he could hear their cries.
Each step forward felt heavier than the last.
On the far side of the town of Hiton, he reached a small wooden house.
He knocked.
The door opened.
A tall man stood there.
Koji Abe.
A master of Earth power.
A master of sealing.
Yuto made his request.
To seal his power… into weapons.
To leave something behind that could protect the weak.
Koji hesitated—but seeing Yuto's condition, he agreed.
There was no time.
No proper tools.
Only whatever was inside the house.
The process began.
Slow.
Painful.
Precise.
Using his own life force, Koji extracted Yuto's power and sealed it into five objects:
The Staff of Earth — capable of shattering the land itself
The Ring of Fire — engulfing its user in blazing armor
The Robe of Wind — granting flight and unmatched mobility
The Sword of Water — unleashing high-pressure waves
The Boots of Lightning — allowing bursts of speed beyond 200 mph
By the time it was finished…
Yuto Yamazaki was gone.
His sacrifice became legend.
But his absence left the world in chaos.
His wives, now alone and carrying his children, scattered across newly forming nations.
Vereland, without its leader, collapsed.
The weapons were divided among the countries—symbols of hope in a fractured world.
But something else had happened.
Something no one knew.
The Devils had not truly died.
They had discovered a way to survive.
By possessing human bodies.
If a host endured for eighteen years…
They would become the Devil itself.
Immortal once more.
For sixty years…
They remained hidden.
Waiting.
Meanwhile, Yuto's children were born.
But they were not ordinary.
They carried rare, unique powers—abilities unlike anything seen before.
They rose to power.
To royalty.
To legends in their own right.
All except one.
Marie's daughter.
She had only lightning power.
Nothing special.
Still, Marie believed in her.
She named her Hope.
Hoping she would live a peaceful life.
But Hope grew strong.
Stronger than anyone expected.
She became the leader of a nation—Hishe.
And now…
Sixty years after Yuto's death…
A new generation had risen.
The third generation.
The Devils were coming back.
And this time…
They would be ready.
Hope had a son.
His name was Isao.
And he would be the one to face them.
