In the dawn of existence, the cosmos was a silent, empty canvas until the Mighty Celestial breathed life into the void, scattering seeds of creation across stars and planets. But from the shadows emerged the Anti-Life Entity—a ravenous parasite, the inverse of all design, consuming every living thing in its path.To protect the last bastion of life, Earth, the Constellar Entities, rulers of the grand design, were dispatched. These powerful beings, accustomed to cosmic command, found themselves with an “unacceptable” mission: guarding humanity. Among them, Triangulum, weary of this mundane task, plots his reincarnation. He has amassed forbidden knowledge, weaving a spell to shatter Earth's protective shield, inviting the very forces they were sent to repel.Yet, every move is anticipated by Orion, the Constellars' master strategist. Though they cannot wield their true power without a human conduit, Orion chooses Xerxez as his mortal vessel. Together, they confront Triangulum's dark magic, but the threat deepens when Xerxez's own son, Maximus, becomes the unwilling host for Draco, the Constellars' most formidable foe.Now, Xerxez faces an impossible choice: how can he defeat a cosmic evil when it wears the face of his own son?

Aku was not the hero destined to save the world, nor the princess destined to be rescued.He was the demon king. Born without a name, without form, without freedom, predestined to die at the hands of the hero from his birth.However, Aku decided to defy fate. He took over the hero's body to find his freedom.It was then that an angel spoke to him, believing he was the hero who had failed to defeat the demon king.The angel told him that countless worlds and countless demon kings existed; those heroes who failed their mission were sent to an academy to amend their mistake.Now Aku will find himself caught up in battles with other demon kings and wars in other worlds while deciding whether to choose the path of good or allow himself to be consumed by darkness.
