The Darkness throbbed from within.
To it, everything had always been a game.
Empires rose only to collapse into forgotten history. Countless lives were born, struggled, and vanished beneath the endless passage of time. Autocrats fought for dominion, gods sought supremacy, and entire civilizations reached for eternity, yet none of it held meaning before the Darkness. It watched in silence, unmoved by triumph or tragedy alike.
From the heart of that eternal Darkness, a Demon was born.
Not one forged by hatred or summoned through forbidden rites, but an existence born from the abyss itself. Its birth marked the beginning of a destiny that would silently reshape the balance of existence.
Power.
Power was the only law that truly mattered.
It crowned rulers, shattered kingdoms, and decided the fate of every living being. Those who possessed it shaped history. Those who lacked it were swept aside by its tide.
Then came the event that changed everything.
The Transmigration of the Twelve Signs.
Without warning, the Imperium over the Twelve Emblems was transferred to another entity, one unknown to the world. In that single moment, the absolute authority of the Autocrat Clan crumbled. Though their name endured and their kingdom remained, their supremacy became little more than the fading shadow of what it once was.
As time passed, the Void within the Ether continued to expand.
Darkness spread across the Ether, slowly consuming it until the realm was sealed away from the Firmament itself. Yet even as the two realms were separated, destiny refused to remain still.
The Twelve Emblems resonated.
Not within the Autocrat.
Not within a legendary Vanguard.
But within a child.
A child born into a defamed clan, carrying neither glory nor honor. He grew like any other, nurtured through the passing years, yet questions lingered within his heart. As he matured, he could not escape the mystery surrounding his own existence.
What had made him an Arcane Entity?
Why had the Emblems answered only to him?
Unknown to the child, the search had never ended.
The Autocrat Clan refused to accept the fall of their absolute power. Though stripped of the authority they had once wielded, they continued searching for the truth behind the Transmigration of the Twelve Signs. To them, the answers were not lost.
They were hidden.
As their search stretched across all of the firmament, three events emerged again and again, each seemingly different, yet bound by an unseen thread.
The Transmigration of the Twelve Signs.
The Birth of Infinity.
The rise of the Darkness.
Every path they followed led to the same destination.
The Ether.
It was there that the greatest mystery of existence lay concealed.
As the Firmament endured the growing influence of the Darkness, fragments of that ancient force seeped into its very foundation. Rather than consuming it entirely, the Darkness gave birth to something new.
A Seed.
Not one born from earth or life, but from the union of the Darkness and the Firmament malefactions itself.
A Seed unlike any other.
A Seed untouched by the infinity of the Zodiac, beyond the reach of the Autocrats, Paladins, and every living entity.
A Seed where only...
IT
...resided.
…It resided in a breach, one the ancient texts only know as THE THRESHOLD…
While the autocratic powers searched for answers, time continued to move.
The one accorded during the Transmigration of Infinity had matured.
The Hojisha.
The years had shaped both body and mind, yet the mysteries surrounding the Hojisha only grew deeper. Every answer uncovered seemed to reveal countless more waiting beyond it.
Then, at last, the day arrived.
The gates of the Zodiac Academy opened.
Unlike any ordinary institution, the Zodiac Academy existed within an external reality of the Firmament, separate from the worlds known to most. It was a place where gifted individuals gathered to cultivate extraordinary epitomes, master unique skills, and unlock abilities that ordinary people could scarcely imagine, biggest of all there is only one description for the existence of the Zodiac Academy- an endless cosmos- and that is…INFINITY... the academy was simply an endless infinite structure.
For many, entering the academy was the beginning of a dream.
For others...
It was the first step toward a destiny they could neither escape nor control.
Yet even within the walls of the Zodiac Academy, where countless prodigies pursued strength and knowledge, the Darkness did not cease.
It continued to grow.
It continued to spread.
With every passing age, it silently fed upon existence, reaching farther into places unseen, its influence creeping through the Ether and beyond the gaze of those who believed themselves powerful.
Then, from that ever-growing abyss, another existence emerged.
A Demon God.
Unlike ordinary demons, this being was born with a single desire that eclipsed all others.
The Twelve Emblems.
Each Emblem possessed unimaginable authority, and together they represented a power capable of changing the balance of existence itself. To obtain them was to stand above Infinity, above the SIGNS, and perhaps even above fate itself.
The Demon God hungered for them all.
Its power flowed from a mysterious Seed hidden at the very heart of the Ether and the Firmament, where the two realms converged. It was a place beyond the reach of every living being, untouched by mortal hands and inaccessible through ordinary means.
There, the Seed remained, silently nurturing a power that the existence and the laws of the universe would cower to.
Amidst these growing shadows, the accorded Hojisha carried a single responsibility.
To uncover the truth concealed by the Darkness.
The mysteries of the Firmament were countless, each one deeper than the last, while the Darkness continued to weave itself around them like an endless veil. Hidden within the Ether rested the greatest Emblem ever known, belonging to a unique existence whose power surpassed all understanding.
Yet that Emblem could only be reached through extraordinary means.
As the Darkness continued to spread, the accorded holder pressed forward, determined to unravel the arcane nature of existence itself.
But above every mystery...
Above every secret...
Above every unanswered question...
The Darkness ruled over one inevitable truth.
Death.
The Transmigration of Infinity had bestowed upon the accorded holder all Twelve Emblems.
Emblems that carried within them...
THE SOL INVICTUS.
Even so, the Darkness endured.
It lingered.
It watched.
And as the accorded holder searched tirelessly for the truths hidden within existence, the Darkness guarded its greatest secret in silence.
There was only one thing...
One truth...
He did not know.
The Darkness had never been confined to the Ether.
Nor had it ever truly been separated from the Firmament.
It lived within the Branch that connected them both.
And through that Branch...
Everything embodied the Darkness.
