Prologue – The Last Hope

Thousands of years ago, the world was aflame.

From the depths of darkness, demonic beasts—creatures born of pure chaos and destruction—rose and ravaged the lands of men. Cities crumbled, kingdoms vanished, and the cries of humanity echoed through burning skies. Nothing could pierce their hideous bodies. No blade could harm them. No magic existed in this world—only the strength of steel and will.

As humanity teetered on the edge of extinction, the sky split open.

A divine figure descended—an angel of light, her silver wings glistening like a thousand swords drawn at once. Her eyes carried the sorrow of countless fallen worlds, and her voice echoed like heavenly steel.

> "Mankind, your courage has not gone unnoticed. I grant you one final hope—a sword forged from your very soul."

She held out a blade of pure light, embedding it into the earth. Her blessing spread like wildfire.

From that moment forward, every child born would carry within them a Soul Sword—a weapon shaped by their heart, spirit, and destiny. On their fifth birthday, it would awaken, and with it, the path of a swordsman would begin.

And so began the Era of Blades.

Humanity fought back. Generations rose and fell, each stronger than the last. After centuries of bloodshed, the demonic beasts were finally pushed back—sealed beyond the Void Gates.

Peace returned. But the angel's blessing remained.

Even now, thousands of years later, every child awakens their Soul Sword at age five. The journey begins anew for each generation—to train, grow, and one day reach the peak of power:

To become a Sword God.
