Many years ago, there was a king who sought to create a world of peace. Many countries clashed for world domination and with that,

many lives have been lost through countless battles but still this king tried in vain to prevent war, regardless of the situation. The king's

name was Algol, who ruled a kingdom which has been forgotten for so long. Algol was a former alchemist and blacksmith. He created

many weapons during his time as a normal villager but he always had the leadership abilities. Not much was known about his past life

before he became king, but during the course of his reign, he wielded a magnificent sword that he forged through his alchemy and

blacksmith skills. He named his sword "Soul Edge". Though this sword may seem ordinary to a normal person, however, this sword was

capable of releasing magic in many ways. During King Algol's last battle with another kingdom, he remained victorious whatsoever and

thus he achieved peace.

Algol had a son named Arcturus, who he trained to master his swordsmanship skills. Arcturus led a group of warriors to prevent wars

and preserve peace just like his father. He too became victorious to a point where, Soul Edge was passed on to him. Being honored in

receiving his father's own creation, he vowed to never disappoint his father and carried on his legacy. However, many wars still kept

breaking because some refused the idea to maintain peace and vowed to fight back to reclaim their power. Though Arcturus tried

reasoning with them, it was all in vain and more blood was shed. Soul Edge may have been a weapon with magic, but unknown to everyone's

knowledge including King Algol, the sword had a life of its own because the blade has tasted many blood that has given it the power to

create its own life from the souls of people who carried the lust for blood, anger, greed and most importantly power.

While the battle was still ongoing, Arcturus heard a strange voice echoing in his head. At first he brushes it off thinking it may be some

kind of spell from the enemy, so he attacked one of the attackers and questioned him. "What kind of sorcery are you doing in my

head?" asked Arcturus "Do you have a wizard or magician within your group?" the enemy at first knew that they themselves did not

have such kind of individual among them and replies "We do not have such a person among us. We are warriors who carry swords as

we do not resort to such evil such as magic". Realizing that the enemy was telling the truth, the voice continues to speak in head by

repeatedly saying "FEED ME SOULS…FEED ME SOULS…FEED ME SOULLLLSSSS!" Arcturus grabbed his head and unexpectedly stabs

the enemy without mercy. He continued on, until no more enemies was left alive, shocking his men and when he turned towards them,

a sinister smiling look changed Arcturus face into a savage killer where his eyes were engulfed in complete redness as he charged

towards his men he says "I NEED MORE SOULS!" the men scream in fear and pain, as everything fades into darkness.

Nonetheless, one of Arcturus men managed to survive the ordeal, though he was in a critical condition, he escaped with his life hanging

by a thread as he wished to return back to the castle and warn King Algol of what has become of his son, who changed unexpectedly.

Algol shocked to hear what has happened and now goes on his own to search for his son and put a stop to his change.
