The day it all began. The start of the unbearable sufferings. The end of the old era. Earth would witness the worst event that spread agony and pain around the world.
The daily lives that people did not treasure as much. They would regret having so. That day, a catastrophe happened. Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Cyclones and other natural disasters were small incidents compared to that phenomenon.
Magic circles suddenly appeared in the blue sky. Mythical beasts emerged from those Magic circles and started to decimate the population of humans without hesitation. The cries for help were resounding in every part on Earth, but they were all in vain.
Until one man changed their fates.
