On Mount Olympus, Zeus decided one day to call a meeting with the most powerful gods. A brutal battle was approaching, initiated by the God of War, Ares.
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Era, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, among many other high-ranking gods, sat down to organize a strategy. Ares had grown too powerful, and his army consisted of thousands of fierce warriors.
When the war finally began, they decided to take advantage of the moment when Ares was fighting hundreds of lesser gods alone. At that moment, the most powerful gods attacked him together, finally managing to kill him and end the bloody war.

As Ares's eyes closed and his life faded, he felt as if something new was waiting for him, before he died with an arrogant smile, maintaining his pride and arrogance until the end.
But... Apparently that wasn't the end, as he opened his eyes again...
The first thing he saw when he woke up was an armored man shouting:
"Klaus! Wake up!"
Looking around, he could see that he was also in the middle of a war. There were armed soldiers fighting, and he could even observe some magical abilities being used by some. Quite powerful attacks for mere humans.
The questions kept running through Ares's mind, until he came to a conclusion.
"Klaus, return to the battle!", shouted the man Ares had in his sight again. He seemed to be trying to revive the body Ares, formerly called Klaus, was in.
Without thinking twice, Ares stood up with his new bloody body, leaving everyone around him in awe, as they had all thought the young man named Klaus had died.
As he admired the battlefield, he noticed an arrow hurtling toward his head at high speed. However, he effortlessly parried it with one hand.
Putting his hands together, he wanted to test if his powers worked in this world, so he summoned his famous "Sword of Destruction." A sword covered in purple magic, representing the death that Ares used to spread on the battlefields.
"Hey!", Ares said to the man who had woken him up. I'm not the boy who used to live in this body, and I really don't understand how I ended up here either. But tell me who your enemies are.
The man, not understanding much of these words, explained:
"Klaus, I don't understand what you're saying, but there's no time. I'll play into your game. Those soldiers with red armor and dragon symbols on their chests are our enemies. They want to cross that enormous mountain behind you and reach our village to plunder all the gold and steal our people's mana."
"I understand...", Ares whispered arrogantly.
The one who had once been the God of War in his world raised the Sword of Destruction, and in a second, an enormous amount of powerful energy emerged from it.
While all the soldiers were astonished, allies and enemies alike, Ares lowered his sword arm and caused a massive explosion in a straight line. Behind the powerful attack that had wiped out all the enemies in an instant, a trail of purple energy remained, demonstrating the immense magical power Ares possessed.
"How did you do it?", asked the same man who had awakened Ares.
However, Ares decided to completely ignore the man and began walking slowly toward a lake he saw nearby. Upon arriving, he looked into the water to see if he had indeed taken another body in another world.
After looking at himself for a few seconds, his theory was confirmed. He was now a young man, with gray hair and golden eyes.
