Nach dem Krieg der Götter wurden die Dämonen ausgeschlossen und auf die Erde verbannt. Dort rotteten sie fast die gesamte Menschheit aus, bis die Götter den großen Helden Ramrowan schickten.

Seitdem gehörte das Land den Menschen, und nur die Ozeane blieben eine unüberwindbare Hölle, die den Kontinent Lok isolierte. Eine Prophezeiung sah jedoch die Rückkehr der Dämonen voraus, die nur von den Nachkommen Ramrowans zu besiegen seien. So wurden sie die ersten Könige, und alle Menschen dienten ihnen, da sie ihre einzige Hoffnung aufs Überleben waren.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.
