A Demon's Journey
Frascoia Continent… Various races like Celestials, Demons, Humans, Monsters, Elves, Dwarves, and so on occupied this continent. Humans and the other races lived on the mainland of the continent while the Celestials and Demons lived in Heaven and Purgatory, respectively.

There was only one person above him within the demons: The Great Demon Venerable, the Demons' Supreme Godfather. Azaroth's extraordinary talent never had the chance to blossom to its full potential; a terrible calamity struck him down and he died soon after.

I couldn't live with myself if I allowed that to happen."
However, Serena didn't give up as she tried her best to convince him, "…Aurelio, all my life, I have always felt something was missing from my life. And that feeling has faded ever since you appeared before me."
