In the land of Hibernia, forces both human and mystical stir. Humanity hides
behind forts of stone and dirt, and their distrust towards others often leads to conflict. Through this bloodshed, dark entities emerge from the shadows.
To counter the creatures who threaten the already divided populace, a small group of individuals simply known as the Sealgairí hunt down these threats and harness their powers. Even with these mythical powers on their side, the sands of time are never still. The very people these hunters help believe they're little more than monsters.
Will fate decide to be kind to the Sealgairí, the hunters who have given everything to protect their homeland, or will they simply be forgotten?

Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies.
