When the first Demon Blight occurred, it spread across the world and bred an endless pestilence, one that ravaged nations and nearly drove humanity to extinction.
What followed was an age of collapse. Famine consumed nations. Plague hollowed cities into ruins. Pestilence warped the land itself, and war became endless as humanity struggled to survive.
Extinction was no longer a distant fear—it was imminent.
It was in this era, when hope had nearly vanished, that the Artificial Humans of Ars Goetia were first created.
They were not born to be heroes.
They were not made to save the world.
They were warriors—engineered for a single purpose: to fight back against the Blight.
Yet despite being created for the sake of humanity, they were never treated as human. Feared like monsters and regarded as weapons, they were tools to be deployed, broken, and discarded once their usefulness had ended.
Thus, humanity endured—
by sentencing others to fight in its place.
