Origin of the Campiones

Divine Problem

In ancient times, gods from the Mythical Realm descended to the mortal world without caution or consideration for the consequences of their actions on the environment and living beings. Since gods are immortal and possess capabilities vastly superior to any other entity, their mere presence in the mortal world could alter the natural balance and cause disasters, often without them being aware of the impact of their "Authorities"—unique powers that reflect their domains and divine aspects.

Intervention of Pandora

Pandora, a goddess from the Mythical Realm with a deep disdain for the negligence of the gods and a genuine love for humans, decided to act to balance the scales between the divine and mortal worlds. Using her divine power and understanding of the world's fundamental principles, Pandora created a special ritual, a safeguard mechanism designed to protect humanity from the whims and neglect of the gods.

The Campione Ritual

Conditions of the Ritual The ritual established by Pandora comes into effect under a very specific condition: a mortal must manage to kill a Heretic God under circumstances relatively similar to those stipulated in the ritual. This feat, extraordinarily difficult to achieve, requires not only exceptional strength and skill but also an unbreakable will and, often, unique preparation and circumstances.

Act of Pandora

Once the condition is fulfilled, Pandora personally intervenes to facilitate the transition of divine power from the defeated god to the victorious mortal. This process involves "stealing" the Authorities of the god and transferring them to the mortal, transforming him into a Campione—a godslayer. This act not only grants the mortal the divine powers of the fallen god but also frees him from normal human limitations, endowing him with a much longer life and physical and magical capabilities far beyond those of ordinary humans.
