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


In the dark corners of the underworld, there lived a lonely demon who never felt accepted by his kind. Despite his wickedness and power, he longed for salvation and the attention of those around him. The demon wandered through the shadows, always searching for a glimmer of hope to light his way out of the darkness. But every time he reached out for help, he was met with fear and rejection, causing his heart to sink deeper into despair. The demon couldn't escape his loneliness, and so he continued to wander, searching for a way to fill the emptiness that consumed him.

A lonely, sad demon, once part of a powerful demonic clan, has been on the run for years after defying their way of life. With no friends, family, or allies to turn to, he finds himself constantly hiding in dark corners, fearing for his life. The years of solitude and constant running have taken a toll on his mind and soul, making him almost forget the reason for his escape. He wanders aimlessly, searching for a way to escape his loneliness and seeking redemption for his past. The demon is on the brink of death, his body and soul slowly withering away, but he refuses to give up, clinging to the hope that one day he will find a place where he belongs.

The once proud and feared demon, has been consumed by his thirst for revenge against his own clan. He has spent centuries plotting and scheming, but every attempt has been met with failure, leaving him bitter and alone. As he lay on the brink of death after his latest defeat, he realized that his obsession had cost him everything, and that he was truly alone in the world. He never once spared life. He never once felt remorse. He never once felt true love. Harakiri Azrael.


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.


From the massive castle, two bright, purple eyes watched them with intense curiosity, before disappearing in an instant. The old and rusty wooden doors creaked open, revealing a towering figure of a male demon. He smiled and spoke in a happy voice, "It's been an eternity, my friends! Onyx! Raxus!"

He flung the door open and raised his hands in the air. "How I've missed you both!"

"Time flies, Xerxes, but your enthusiasm never changes," Raxus spoke and breathed in the fresh air of the island.

"Ah, how refreshing it is to meet you again," Onyx chuckled and approached him. "Haven't lost your spirit, right, Xerxes?"

"Come in, come in! We have much to discuss!"

As they stepped into the castle-like building, Onyx paused for a moment and asked, "Do you think... we'll ever be the same gang as before?"

"I really hope so."

Xerxes was a lean demon, with glowing, purple eyes, no eyebrows, and no facial hair. His greenish hair cascaded down his back, and his muscular body was like a fortress. He also wore his signature dark purple clothes.
