In the distant past, in a realm not of our own, resided the Gods. They were not indigenous to that world either, for they hailed from a distant realm beyond our imagination. As they descended upon this foreign land, the Gods presented the humans with a tantalizing opportunity-to partake of fruits infused with their divine essence. However, these fruits held a treacherous secret, for they possessed the power to both grant unimaginable strength and claim the lives of the unworthy. Only a handful of courageous souls were enticed by the allure of consuming these sacred fruits, while even fewer were deemed worthy by the Gods themselves. These chosen few, bestowed with the divine essence, would henceforth be recognized as the 2nd-Generation gods. This nomenclature served to distinguish them from their counterparts-the 1st-Generation gods-who had traversed from another world entirely, bringing with them their own ancient and mysterious origins.

His infamous father Dragon comes on to the scene, the leader of the Revolutionary wasn't always the most wanted man in the world, in fact he has more things in common with his future son than one might think.
