Chapter 1 - Introduction

It is said that in a world that knows no peace, good and evil have been at war since time immemorial.

Yet humans are weak, making them easy prey for other creatures.

Monsters and demons emerged, taking advantage of this chaos to seize the human kingdom.

Is this the end? That is what everyone thought—but the sky had a different plan.

Amidst the chaos caused by the monsters, a power arose from nothing within humans.

Magic… a force granted by the universe to the weak humans so they could defend themselves.

Yet, not all humans were fortunate enough to obtain this power, and thus society was divided into two classes: those who possessed magical abilities and strength became nobles, while the weak were labeled as "Zero Class."

Generations continued in this way, and naturally, the nobles passed down their powers over time.

But as time went on, another type of human emerged, whose magic differed from that of the nobles. It was said that their powers were filled with darkness, and they came to be known as the "Spirits."

A Spirit is born when the heart dies; this dark power arises from negative emotions.

Because they were a danger to humanity, they were exiled from the empire to the shadowed lands of the world.

To unify the factions, a representative is chosen to embody each group.

Every hundred years, five individuals are born with unique traits to represent the nobles—they are called "Planets," carrying the will of the people and protecting their kingdom.

Conversely, once every thousand years, a single being is born from the abyss to represent the Spirits—the one we hear of in legends and stories… yes, the King of Spirits
