In the Depth of the Shadows


Forty thousand years ago a dark force over shadowed the Universe and built up an evil regime. Two thousand years of subjugation passed and by that time, the spirits of many of the strongest heroes the worlds had to offer were crushed into dust; their bodies left to feed the growing army of demons the ruler had created. Finally, after a truly agonizing defeat the survivors of the great demon's wrath hid themselves away in the furthest corners of their worlds in hopes that one day, a force even greater would arise to free them from their state of sorrow and despair.

After nearly twenty thousand years, rumors of a group of very strong fighters reached the ears of the people but after so long they had finally lost all hope they had tried so hard to hold on to and instead of encouraging their heroes, they shrunk away and begged them to disappear. Despite the wishes of their fellow beings, the group of fighters traveled the worlds in an attempt to rid them of their darkened states as well as to build up their combined strength in an attempt to defeat the ultimate darkness, the man who held terror over the entire cosmos; a shadow demon of the darkest decent who, in his arrogance, had killed the ruler of the Universe and dubbed himself with the title God of Gods.

For ten thousand years this group of fighters traveled the worlds in an attempt to gain greater power until finally they confronted the so-called God of Gods and challenged him for his self appointed title.

The battle was long and fierce, lasting well over a millennium until finally the leader of the small group managed to gain the upper hand with the combined power of his deceased comrades. With that attack the dark man, the God of Gods, was defeated. In his place the leader of the group arose and took command of the Universe, his only remaining companion was the girl he eventually took as his wife.

The man, who had received the powers of the God of Gods upon defeating the dark ruler, divided the powers between himself and his wife stating that in this way no one person would have the power to rule the universe again and that the power would only transfer to the successors upon a binding ceremony that would take place after marriage. Because of this, the rulers of the universe, the successors to the God of Gods, would marry for eternity, never to be separated upon the penalty of instant death for both.

Not long after the full revival of the vast worlds and dimensions of the Universe, the wife of the God of Gods gave birth to a son. Later he married and was given the title of God of Gods to share with his wife. They eventually had a daughter which caused great pains among them and the former God of Gods because they feared that the girl would be taken and used for an evil purpose.

Because of this the God of Gods sent his daughter to live under the supervision of one of his lesser Kami. There she would remain until a man strong enough to protect her, compassionate enough to love her, and brave enough to live for her could be found. To this day the princess remains in hiding, and, though she is aware of her role as princess of the Universe, she enjoys the place and role of which she has been allowed to play.

Now, several thousand years after the defeat of the evil God of Gods, darkness threatens the Universe once again as two dark beings that had been thought destroyed were revived through time and are now free to begin their battle for the universe. In an attempt to disarm all those capable of stopping them they have taken what is most important to these fighters and have forced them to enter the most deadly tournament the universe has to offer. The Makai Tournament of the isolated Demon World.


Kaliea: So here is story number one that I promised. If everything plays out according to plan then there should be a grand total of twenty-seven chapters total. We'll see. Anywho, let me know what you guys think and if I should even continue. I will anyway of course but I will warn you that this story is currently at the very bottom of my list. So why start it you ask? Because I felt like being evil. Cheers! Don't forget to review!
