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


Humanity's resolve is a testament to the unyielding spirit of the human race. In the face of adversity, we stand tall and push forward with a determination that knows no bounds. From the depths of hardship, we rise to conquer our fears and achieve greatness, leaving a legacy of unwavering resilience for future generations to inherit. We are more than mere mortals—we are the embodiment of hope, courage, and perseverance.


The God Demon Powers shimmer in space, their spherical forms a tapestry of mystery. On their surface, patterns of three half-moons emerge, alight with hues that dance in celestial patterns. These carvings are no mere happenstance; the patterns mirror demons' emotions when they become God Demons, where red, blue, and green hues ignite the core feelings of anger, sadness, and fear.

In fleeting moments, these ancient stones reveal more. Five colors awaken, adding yellow and orange to the powers, indicating the emotions of love and joy respectively. Yet, legends whisper of those rare few who've unlocked a sixth half-moon, an elusive symbol hinting at a realm beyond comprehension.

Katayama climbed the stairs, his steps hesitant as he approached Kana's room. A gentle knock heralded his entrance.

"Hey. Just checking. Everything's okay?" 

Kana sat on his bed, his eyes devoid of their usual vitality. "Well..." He paused, then replied, "Yeah."

"Great. I... I just decided... to check on you. I was wondering..."

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Kana's lips. "Oh, is that so? I'm glad to hear it."

Ether quickly took a seat.

"Harakiri Azrael. That's the name of the demon who wants to exterminate every human on Earth. His motives are unknown, and he seems to revel in the chaos. My inner demon stirs with excitement whenever his name is mentioned. I've heard stories about him, even before all of this. He's a dangerous one..."

"Dangerous? Really?! He's killed over a billion of us, humans!... Of course, he's dangerous!" Kana took a deep breath, exhaling heavily. "Fuck! Do you have any ideas on how to—"

The Demon Specialist hesitated before locking eyes with Saito. "To defeat that demon, you might need to fight fire with fire. It might take more than the whole Earth can muster."

Saito's anxiety flared, beads of sweat forming on his forehead

Saito's anxiety flared, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His thoughts scattered, and his hands shook. "W—What are you suggesting?" he asked, his voice quivering. "Do demons even care about humans? They're probably thrilled about the situation!"
