Chapter 0.5 : The Beginning.
In the beginning, there was nothing. It was dark, and there was no light.
In the middle, three golden sparks emerged.
One became Tenkai, where it was rumoured that it was where Kami resided.
One became Ninkai, where the humans and animals resided in unity.
One became Makai, where the demons came from.
Over the years, Ninkai developed. Buildings rose and fall, civilisations began and died out. Organisms evolved and became extinct. The flow of life never stopped. Technologies were invented and became outdated. Then, war came. Thousands died, millions died. The toll increased non-stop, and the world was heavily damaged.
Those in Tenkai became concerned. Striking a deal with nine most powerful demons in Makai, the demons gained assess to Ninkai and wiped everything off the surface of the earth. Everything was reset, and those in Tenkai began their laborious job again…
The nine demons, gaining power from the deals, couldn't go back. They were ostracised from both Tenkai for being demons, and from Makai for being tainted by Tenkai. They went into deep lumber beneath the new Ninkai and went to sleep…
