Chapter 1 - Prologue

In the beginning, there was only the realm of the gods—those of Order and those of Chaos. Together, they maintained balance across existence.

But balance is fragile.

The gods of Chaos grew restless, tired of being restrained by their counterparts. At last, the strongest among them consumed his brethren, fusing their essence into one being of pure destruction: Amatsu-Mikaboshi.

To answer this threat, the gods of Order made a sacrifice. They chose their mightiest, a god named Noiro, and willingly merged their souls with his. Empowered by their unity, Noiro rose to confront Mikaboshi.

Their clash shook the void. From the sparks of their battle, worlds formed, and the first stirrings of humanity began.

In the final, cataclysmic strike, Amatsu-Mikaboshi was shattered into countless fragments of Chaos, scattering across creation. To preserve balance, Noiro used the power he still shared with the other gods of Order to create the stars that filled the night sky. As he divided his essence, he released those gods from himself and crystallized them into Star Badges. Each badge housed one of his fellow gods, who would stand watch over mortals. Those chosen to bear them formed symbiotic bonds with the gods within, gaining supernatural abilities—the power of Order itself.

From this act came the first keepers of order, an organization destined to be known as the Five Points. And with his plan set in motion, Noiro vanished—his fate unknown.

The Present Age

Now, countless generations later, the world is ruled by Five Points. Guided by the Council, its officers safeguard the five corners of civilization, wielding the supernatural powers granted by their Star Badges to uphold justice and order.

Yet where there is light, there must also be shadow. The fragments of chaos still linger, corrupting those who claim them. Outlaws rise from this darkness, and with them begins an endless conflict—the battle between the Marshals and the Outlaws.
