Rivers of blood will flood the earth and flames will burn the sky. Existence will lose meaning and humanity will collapse. But do not grieve for this the descendants of men, for it is a beginning rather than a ruin. A new life will come into your decrepit world, but this life will be born in pain and all living will be crucified on the cross of fate.

Thus the age of humanity will end and a new era of life will begin. This is the prophecy of the ancients. For hundreds of thousands of years, the seal imposed by the gods restrained demons. But by fate, the seal was broken, and demons poured into the human world, inhabiting people. The first blow was taken by an ordinary college. Students possessed by demons felt in themselves unknown powers. But the power of human souls has enabled humans to coexist in peace with demons. This turn of events did not benefit those who opened the seal - the gods of the past. The final battle between gods, humans and demons begins. close
