| Summary |
Traditionally, gods have used their power to counter the forces of demons, maintaining the cosmic balance that allowed the world to function as it should. That's how it used to be ... But then everything changed. Today the ranks of demons have swelled to the point where they are the majority. They inhabit the world inciting disorder and anarchy, as their power grows unopposed. The gods, their numbers dwindling as they are hunted like animals, have gone into hiding. Their powers have been greatly reduced, almost entirely lost. And the people, abandoned and confused, have lost their way. A great darkness approaches and there is no end in sight. A motley trio of fallen gods with magical superpowers and incredible martial arts skills escort a young girl disguised as a monk on a perilous quest to bring an end to demonic rule and restore balance to the world. |
