Damian had been born in a small village far from the royal capital, living a quiet life with his parents and his little brother and sister.
Even though the threat of the Demon King loomed over the world, he had been happy with that simple life—working in the fields, laughing with his siblings, eating his mother's cooking at night. Life was good. Peaceful.
Until the demons came.
One day, while Damian and his siblings were away visiting their aunt who lived some distance from the village, the demons attacked. They descended like a storm, massacring everyone they could find.
When Damian returned, all he saw was devastation.
Burned houses. Blood‑stained earth. Bodies strewn in the streets.
His parents lay among them, cold and lifeless.
From that moment, Damian made a promise—to himself, and to his younger brother and sister.
He would vanquish every demon on this earth.
