Demon Sovereignty: Retake Our Freedom

PART ZERO

NOTE THAT PARTS 1-24 ARE JUST AN INTRODUCTION TO
THE MAIN STORY.

Life is a constant struggle against the void, a never-ending cycle of meaningless existence. We are but mere specks in an uncaring universe, drowning in a sea of sorrow and despair. Every step we take is met with anxiety and fear, as we realize the futility of our efforts. In the end, all will be forgotten, consumed by the emptiness of time.

Amidst the veiled echoes of time, the universe opened its cosmic doors a million years ago, guided by enigmatic deities of unparalleled might—the three Gods of the Cosmos. Among them, Harakiri Akshar, the leader of the Harakiri Clan, whispered life into the expanse of the cosmos.

Harakiri Shissaki, the God of Death, ruled over the souls in the underworld, an elusive enforcer of cosmic balance. And then, shrouded in the mists of antiquity, there stands Ace—a name veiled in myth and legend, a cipher of secrets.

Beyond the stars lies a realm where the cosmos teems with life—demons and God Demons, beings born of both love and hate. These entities, though cloaked in humanoid forms, are far more than they appear. They are the very essence of duality, embodying the extremes of emotion and power in a world where nothing is as simple as it seems.

Unfettered by the necessities of mortal existence, demons do not feel hunger, thirst, or a sense of sleep. They roam as sovereign phantoms, their dominion extending over lesser forms of life.

Central to their enigma is the quest for origin—to discern whether life was created or was it accidental, a question echoing through their shadowed history.

Ancient and mystical, the God Demon Powers rest within enigmatic stones—a harbinger of immense power. Perfectly spherical, these stones bear cryptic symbols upon their edges, radiating ethereal lights of different colors. Once a demon obtains the powers, they become God Demons.

The powers within span a vast spectrum—control over gravity, water, fire, and iron—yet this enumeration barely scratches the surface. As wielders tread the path, they're confronted with a choice—the powers can be harnessed for good, birthing tranquility, or wielded for evil purposes, bringing war.

Within the realm of demons—the cosmos—these powers are regarded as rare treasures, lusted after by many. Possession promises formidable might, yet attracts the sinister within.

The enigmatic spherical stones known as God Demon Powers possess a mysterious allure. Upon their surfaces, three distinct half-moon patterns emerge, each aglow with varying colors that dance in random constellations. These patterns are no mere happenstance; they encapsulate the essence of a demon's emotions upon its ascension to a God Demon. The hues—red, blue, and green—symbolize the three primal emotions of a God Demon.

In select occurrences, these ancient stones harbor an even deeper meaning, having the capacity to emit five colors, adding vibrant tones of orange and yellow. Yet, legends whisper of those rare few who've unlocked a sixth half-moon, an elusive symbol hinting at a realm beyond any comprehension.
