"Jaune! Hit it with the-" Nora's voice was cut off when her God arc stopped working due to the psion ability of the Marduk, allowing the damned Aragami to hit her in the stomach, propelling her to the opposite end of the field.

I did not have the time to see if my teammate was dead or alive as I held up my God Arc, stuck in its Black steel tower shield mode, to defend the civilians behind me that were being loaded up into the truck to be brought into the branch of Fenrir.

"Pyrrha! Have we got any reply from HQ?"

"There is a Blood unit nearby that has been alerted to the presence of the Marduk and is on their way-JAUNE LOOK OUT!"

I reacted on instinct and held the shield with all my oracle cell-enhanced might as the Marduk suddenly intensified its attacks.

"Ren! Get Nora onto the truck!, we are leaving the moment the Blood unit arrives"

Ren simply gave a nod as he ran toward Nora's downed form with a barely concealed worry and got ready to extract her to the truck.

But it was not to be as another Psion, this time a Nyx Alpha appeared behind them. My eyes widened in terror as I tried to warn them.

"REN LOOK OUT-" But my warning came too late as the Nyx Alpha used its long blade-like appendage to cleave through my friends, killing them instantly.

Rage filled me as the thought of attacking the damned thing rose in my mind, but my years of training as a God Eater kicked in. I gritted my teeth with tears in my eyes and held the shield firmly to protect the truck as it started to leave, its driver was too scared to stay around for my team to board now that another Psion had shown up.

"Pyrrha, get to the truck-"

"No Jaune, I am not leaving behind my partner"

I said nothing as I futilely tried to make my God Arc change its form but failed to do so due to the interference of the Psions.

The Marduk, realizing that the weaker prey was escaping in the truck tried to get past me to get to the civilians, but I ran with my enhanced body to stand in its way again and again as it growled in something akin to frustration.

"Pyrrha, take care of the Nyx Alpha-"

My words were once again cut off, but this time due to the long claws that were impaling my torso.

"JAUNE!" I heard Pyrrha's pained cry as I tried to use the Oracle energy in my body to forcefully suppress the pain but failed as the Marduk was continuously using its Psion ability to disrupt the Oracle cells in my body.

The Last thing I remember is the cruel face of the Marduk as it raised its other arm to cut me down as I heard the rapid fire of Pyrrha's God Arc.


In the forests near the old Arc manor, a young boy was bleeding out on the ground as a massive Ursa stood over him, ready to rip the human apart.

But before the creature of Grimm, the firstborn of the God of Darkness had any chance to finish the Arc boy, an anomaly took place.

A brilliant light shone from the boy as his Aura was involuntarily unlocked by an unknown force far beyond the understanding of the simple creature.

As the blinding light subsided, the creature's instincts started to warn it to run away, for instead of the easy prey that it had thought, it now faced a predator far beyond its power.

The young boy with his immature features and sub-par armor and sword was gone. In his place now stood a man that looked exactly like the boy, except a little bit older.

He wore a brown jacket that had a monstrous face printed on the back over a simple white shirt and grey pants with combat boots. But the thing that really stood out was the massive sword that was now in his hands instead of the sword and shield combo of before.

His icy blue eyes locked onto the Ursa that was now slowly backing away as the man took a combat stance.

The Grimm realized that the man was now beyond its strength to fight and tried to run, only to have its retreat blocked by the man that had crossed it in a bout of speed that was impossible for even the most veteran of Huntsman that the creature had faced in the past.

The ancient Grimm realized that it had no choice but to fight and prepared to attack the man, only for the massive blade in his hands to move at impossible speeds and sever its arm from the shoulder.

"…Huh? You are surprisingly weak for an Aragami. Maybe a new variant?"

It did not comprehend the words of the man as its rage over the human's attack overwhelmed its intelligence, causing it to attack again but to face the same attack as before, but this time, the blade directly severed its head, resulting in the death of the creature.

The man, Jaune Arc, started looking around the forest that he found himself in and started to walk in the direction of the Arc household, guided by the memories of his former self that belonged to the world of Remnant, all the while trying to comprehend the situation that he had found himself in.


In the forests of Anima, two children were running from a pack of Beowolfs that was chasing them when one of the younger Grimm got lucky and landed a hit on the young boy, resulting in him falling to the ground in pain. Fortunately, he was saved from having his body pierced by the Grimm thanks to his Aura, but it would not save him from an entire pack of these creatures.

The girl stopped running and ran towards the boy and tried to drag him with her. The boy activated his semblance and tried to mast his presence along with that of the girl, but it was too late as the Grimm had already locked on to the children and no amount of emotion masking would stop the creatures that are the incarnation of God's hatred from attacking them.

But before the Grimm could attack, the boy shone with a green light as the girl started to shine with a pink light.

Soon, the young boy and girl were replaced by older versions of themselves.

The boy now wore the scout coat and pants of his former organization with his hands how holding a long and thin blade that shone with heat.

Meanwhile, the girl was now wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and long combat skirt while holding a truly massive hammer that shimmered with energy.

The tables had now turned as the Grimm did not hesitate for a single second before running in the opposite direction of the duo, unfortunately for the creatures of darkness, they were the elite of their former organization that fought monsters leagues beyond anything that the Grimm can ever hope to achieve.

It took only a few seconds for the duo, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie to end the pack before they started walking down a certain direction, hoping to find a way to search for their Commander.


In the Kingdom of Mistral, a girl had just arrived back from a particularly hard fight in the arena and was relaxing in her bed when her red aura started to shine like a beacon in the dark.

Soon, her armor was replaced with the clothes that she used to wear as the Sniper of her team in her old organization.

It only took her a few seconds to acclimate to her new memories, as expected from a genius that had torn through the training of the God Eater program, a pace that was only matched by three other god eaters that she called her friends.

Looking towards her right, she found her trusty Charge spear, ready to respond to her as she got off the bed and started to walk towards the room of her manager. This would be the last fight she would have in an arena.

She was not a gladiator, fighting to entertain people. She is a God Eater, a defender of mankind from monsters that wish for their annihilation.

And this world is currently in need of such defenders.


In four locations across the continent of Anima, four young people had awoken to a new world and a new life.

How would the game between a Queen cursed with immortality and a King cursed to fight her for all eternity change with the introduction of those who devour the Gods?
