Long ago, two races ruled over the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.

One day, war broke out between the two races.

After a long battle, the humans were victorious.

They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.

Many years later…

Mt. Ebott.

201X.

Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.

One cold spring, a human child fell…

…and returned.

Legends say that seven human souls could free the monsters from the underground.

Legends say an 'angel' who has seen the surface would descend from above and bring freedom.

Never would it be a human, but a Monster.

Many years later… Monsters took a bleaker outlook.

The emblem and prophecies of hope were nothing more than an Angel of Death. A harbinger of destruction, waiting to "free" Monsters — from the mortal realm.

Where humans could, or would, no longer kill them.

And yet…

Someone is out there. Someone who will never give up trying to do the right thing, no matter what.

There is no prophecy. There is no legend.

It is just something we know to be true.
