Location: Unknown
Time: —
Under the deep grey clouds, stood a world of dark places. A strong power of curse developed every land and brought fear to every residence, only single betrayal could lead into this.
No one, not even Gods and Goddesses, expected such a 'destiny' to happen that would destroy everyone. Was this because they're being too greedy for power?
Because in this cruel world, only the strongest survives. If you're too week, there's no hesitation to throw you away. You're no use for everyone.
That's how everyone sees this world.
In a place where the source of power was planted, guarded by one of the Goddess most trusted companion, a small boy, around 10-years old, ran around the halls of the temple, looking for a certain man to break out a good or bad news.
Whenever a fruit bloomed on a tree, it would be either bad or good.
The child's steps echoed around, still not finding the man he's looking for. He cannot believe his eyes of what he saw.
Finally, arriving at the library the man was most likely spending his time, the child burst in the doors.
"KITA-SAN!!" He called out to the man as his voice bounce fo every book shelves.
Instead of spotting the said man sitting on one of the couch with a pile of books on the table, he saw no one.
"What is it?" The calm voice of the man was heard causing the child to jumped up in surprise.
The child looked relieve to see him but he have another purpise for coming here. He grabbed 'Kita-san''s hand and lead him to outside, "You need to see this!"
'Kita-san' was confused on why the child was energetic but decided to just follow him to wherever he was taking him.
He followed the child dragging him as he realized where he was taking him from the familiar path.
They arrived to the garden where a huge space isolation surrounded the trees that only him could enter.
"LOOK!! THERE ARE NEW FRUITS!!"
To say 'Kita-san' was surprise, he was bewildered. His eyes slightly widened at the sight of two small dazzling fruits on the big tree, and he knows what this means.
The 'tree of life' was giving them a message for the future.
Two new fruits bloom and would find its host to create a new great power. But the illustration of the fruit on the tree was different from the ones that bloomed on the tree so far.
The one was too dark for a fruit, like it was a rotten yet fresh. The other was golden and bright like a sun.
'Kita-san' never expected something like this to happen again. The last message the tree sent them was hundreds of years ago, and to see the tree giving them something right now. . .
It means that new power is waiting to be born.

Location: Osaka, Japan.
Time: 11:48 PM, Present.
In the street of Osaka, walk a drunkard man holding a empty can of beer. He's not fully drunk, only half.
The few people walking on the streets ignored him who was mumbling random things. The lights on the streets were fully on, except for that one dark alley.
His head felt a little dizzy so he decided to take a break there until he regain his soberness. Entering the dark alley, he threw his can of beer on the trash and sat down on the floor, leaning his back on the wall.
The cold wind flew passed by him and it sends shivers down his skin.
Suddenly, a red mist, bigger than his height, appeared at the end of the alley as if it was welcoming him.
His eyes widened as he immediately stood up and stumbled back. Maybe this was cause of his drunkness, hallucinating things. And because of his drunk ass, he decided to approach it without hesitation.
Every step he take, it felt like he was being sucked in.
Five meters apart from it, the red gate-like most was glowing with a strong sound of wind coming from it.
What he didn't expected was that, he'll be sucked in.
He fell on his back and felt like multiple hands were dragging his feet to the red gate.
"A-ah n-no NO!! WAIT- NO! AAHH HELP!!" He tried to shout for help but since he's in a alone area, the chances of someone hearing him was low.
The dim light coming from the lamp above the building he'd laid his back on was flickering wildly.
He could feel his feet being numb from the amount of strength coming to pull him.
Half of his body were already in the gate leaving his torso and head out.
"HELP ME!!" He begged to whoever hears him.
The only thing was heard from him was his shout and cry for help before he got sucked completely by the red mist.
No one witnessed the red mist sucked the man in the dark alley, but whoever did,
what was the red mist?
"there is no one that is more powerful than life and death themselves."
