PROLOGUE

[ YEAR-1980]:-

The first cataclysm which completely changed the world map happened this year. Before earth was a huge body of water with separate continents spread across it, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania. But after the cataclysm, all continents merged into one creating one large continent.

[YEAR-1999]:-

The second cataclysm occurred, and the territory which humanity occupied became smaller and smaller until the power balance finally stabilized at a ratio of 2/8 demons, 3/8 fantasia, and 3/8 humanity.

[Year-2039]

Currently, humanity occupied the east side of the newfound continent, right where Asia used to be. New infrastructures and cities were built, and among all the cities that were built, five cities stood out from the rest. Conviction city, Dromeda city, Lewington city, Park city, and lastly Ashton city, the current human capital.

Each city safeguards the borders of the human territory from potential invasions and threats coming from demons and other races.

Conviction city stood at the very north of the human border, and safeguards humanity against the potential threat coming from the orcs, who were a war-driven species. Brutus the current leader of the orcs was especially fearsome, as he was regarded as the 'one-man general' in the battled field. His fearsome display of strength may come as a shock to many people as they each become flabbergasted at his cruel and fearsome strength.

Dromeda city safeguards the western area which was right at the edge of the demon territory and the elven territory. fortunately, the elves, unlike the orcs, were not a war-oriented race, hence the only source of worry were the demons. But even if the elves don't participate in the war, the demon's fearsome strength was leaving Dromeda on their wit's end.

Lewington city safeguarded the southern area of the human territory and protects against demons coming from the south. Like Dromeda, they were constantly harassed by demons, but unlike there, it was in a far more dire situation compared to Dromeda.

Dromeda borders with the elven territory, and as a result, the demons were forced to split their forces to protect themselves from potential ambushes from the elves, easing the burden they face when fighting against the demons.

In Lewington however, the situation was much much worse. There were no elves, no orcs, and no dwarfs. There was no other faction nearby that would cause the demons to split their forces. Therefore when demons invade, Lewington city faces the full grunt of the demons, causing large amounts of resources to be wasted every year.

Park City on the other hand was located on the east side and compared to the previous cities it had one noticeable difference, and that was the fact that it directly faced the sea. That was…it had to fend off against sea creatures.

After the second cataclysm due to the sudden burst in mana coming from the other worlds , animals started going into a frenzy. At first, it seemed like they had completely lost their minds, but later after a few days, changes started happening. The most noticeable difference would be their insane growth in height and extreme blood thirst. What could've been your cute little puppy an hour ago, turned into a demonic beast that would eat you whole in just a couple of minutes. Luckily, it seemed that they did not gain any intelligence, hence they were not necessarily a threat as long as they were left alone.

Lastly, there was Ashton city, the center of humanity. The last barrier that protects humanity against any outside threats. The most secure location available and the area where the Lock resided. The ultimate training academy that was known to mankind created for the sole purpose of creating ultimate heroes who will lead the charge to reclaim Earth.

[Ashton City hospital]

Inside a hospital-room, cries of a newly born child could be heard who was lying near his mother who was looking at him with a gaze filled with warmth and love.

Outside the room two men could be seen restlessly loitering. Suddenly the door of the hospital room opens and the doctor in-charge comes out. Seeing the doctor both of them dashed straight to him.

Seeing his old friend and his father act like that the doctor in-charge let out a chuckle and said -" Congratulations. It's a boy. Let them rest for some time. After that both of you will be able to see the mother and son pair."

"Ah"- hearing the doctor in-charge congratulating him the father of the newly born child let out sound of exclamation. After a brief pause he held the hands of his friend as well as the doctor and thanked him.

" Take this money and treat everyone within the hospital."- taking out every single bit of money from his pocket the grandfather of the newly born child said to the nurse beside the doctor.

Looking at the money on her hand the nurse gave him a bow and ran of with a delightful expression.

After the nurse ran off the grandfather looked at the room in which his grandson was staying with a loving gaze but suddenly he felt the mana in the vacanity rising and a frown formed at him handsome face. With a wave of his hand he sealed the hospital from outside inspection.

[Demon Territory]

"Huh? The mana here is getting stronger somehow. Is the demon king hastening his process? But that's not possible right now."-a viscount rank demon observing the demon territory suddenly felt the mana in the surrounding increasing in a rapid pace. "Something doesn't feel right." As he was thinking about the cause a sudden order was given from the higher hierarchy.

[ FIND THE COUSE OF THE DISTURBANCE AND KILL HIM. The demon/s to accomplish the task will be given great rewards and an opportunity to breakthrough the next rank]

As the demons gave the orders various leaders from various races tried to find the cause of the sudden devlopment.

[ Ashton City hospital: inside the hospital room]

A newly born child was sleeping soundly with three other people looking at his sleeping face.

"Have you decided any name for him?"- the oldest person inside the room asked the only lady who was still looking at her sleeping baby.

"Yes father. His name will be 'Satoru'. GOJO SATORU"

As if he liked the name the his mother gave , Satoru woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes slowly which was more valuable than any gems one can find and more beautiful eyes anyone can ever have.
