2005, Japan,

Near the outskirts of a forest in Kyoto, we can see a young boy with deep black hair and blue eyes sitting on the ground with tears in his eyes as he watches his house burn with his parents inside, even now, he could hear the screams of his parents as the demon kills them in cold blood,

It was supposed to have been a normal weekend, he had spent his time playing with his friends from school and had run back to his home, he was imagining the heavenly meal that his mother would cook for him as his father would tell him stories of heroes and monsters, but all of it turned to ash when 'he' came,

The man had suddenly barged into his home and started to threaten his father for the location of something called 'the portal', when his father had denied him information, the man brutally killed his mother to provoke his father, for some reason his father forced him to run to the forest, while he was running away from the location, he heard a huge explosion from the location of his house which caused him to go back only to come upon the current scene,

"I will never forgive you" he mumbled as he grit his teeth as his eyes were filled with hatred and rage,

"No matter how much time it takes, I will find you and I will kill you" he continued to mutter, in his rage and despair, he failed to notice a strange ring start to float out of the burning basement of his home,

"Mother, Father, I am sorry, I was weak, I could do nothing against that demon" he continued to sob as he sank deeper into despair, by this time, the ring had already appeared above the boy as a strong green light enveloped the boy,

The boy watched as the events of the day replayed in front of him,

"Did you think you could hide from me Aron Pendragon?" the man who had ruined his life said to his father,

"Revizim, how did you find me? I had made sure to hide my tracks" his father exclaimed in surprise,

"You may be able to hide your power well Aron, but you cannot hide the artifact from me, now where is the portal" the man called Revizim said as several strange bat-like wings came out of his back as he was covered in a dark miasma, his father himself was covered in a bright light as a strange sword suddenly appeared in his hands, the man had a mocking look on his face as he said,

"So you already surrendered Caliburn to the pendragon family when you left them? Without Caliburn you are no match for me" he said as he suddenly dodged an attack coming from the direction of the kitchen,

"ho? , I never thought that the great Sayako Himejima would settle down with the former head of the Pendragon family" Revizim said as he watched his mother,

"get out of our house devil, we do not welcome your kind here," his mother said as the devil gave a wicked grin and said,

"That's a shame, I had wanted to play with you for a bit, but work comes first" suddenly, the man disappeared and in the next moment, he heard his mothers scream, when the boy turned towards the kitchen he saw his mother had a giant hole in the center of her chest,

He wanted to scream but his voice would not come out, his body refused to move,

"Mom!" the boy suddenly heard himself shout,

"Ryner! Get out of here, do not turn back no matter what happens" his father shouted as the boy felt a strange power force his body to run out of the house and away, but somehow, he was still inside the house, he watched as the devil called Revizim fought his father who used his sword to gravely wound Revizim, but in the process he had also got an injury on his back, suddenly, the devil took out a strange looking spear and stabbed his father in the chest,

"No!" he shouted but he could not move, suddenly, he heard a voice,

'Do you wish to avenge him?'

"Yes" the boy said as his surroundings started to light up in green,

'Do you wish for power?'

"Yes"

'Do you wish to kill the filthy devil and his wretched kind?

"YES!" the boy shouted as he was completely covered in green light and a surge of foreign memories invaded his mind,

'then I shall make you my avatar, my will in this world to be the harbinger of the legion, we shall show this world the meaning of chaos!' the voice said in a menacing way as the boy fell to the ground in exhaustion, but if one were to look closely, they would observe that everything in the surroundings had been turned to dust, grass withered away and trees were sapped of their life force, all the while, the ring silently floated back to the boy and attached itself to his finger, the green gem in the middle shone for once and calmed down,

Kyoto, Japan,

In the city where many of the native supernatural of Japan are said to reside, we can see a young man with deep black hair and a few locks of green, with blue eyes as deep as the sky and brimming with power, walking towards the imperial palace which is normally off-limits for normal public, but strangely, the guards did not even bat an eye as he walked into the palace,

As soon as the man that looked to be around 18 years of age walked into the building, he passed through a strange ripple In the air, as if he was walking through a barrier,

"onii-chan!" suddenly, a girl with golden hair and eyes wearing a Miko outfit slammed into him, the force of the slam threw him to the ground,

"Sigh, Kunou, how many times do I have to tell you to stop slamming into me?" the young man said as the girl sheepishly got off him and said,

"Sorry Onii-chan, it's just that I have not seen you in a few months so I was excited," the 11 years old girl said

"Troublesome," the man said with a sigh as a small giggle came from near the building,

"I see you have not changed at all Ryner," said a beautiful woman with the same features as Kunou, Ryner gave a dull look towards the woman and said,

"Yasaka, I was only gone for 9 months, there is no way I will change in such a small amount of time"

"You would be surprised how much a man changes in a matter of days, let alone months," Yasaka said seriously as Ryner sighed again,

"Since you are giving me such a lecture, I assume you have another job for me?" he said as Yasaka grew serious and gestured him to go with her,

Inside the building, Yasaka sat at her throne as Ryner stood in front of her with a blank face, normally, anyone who looked at his blank blue eyes and his intimidating face would immediately cover in fear, but the look was ruined by the young girl hanging off of his neck,

"So, What is it?" Ryner asked

" We have recently learned from our spies in Kuoh that there has been a sudden surge of fallen angel appearances in the city, there are even rumors that a carder level fallen was seen in the city"

"So you want me to find out what is wrong in the city right? Pretty easy compared to my previous assignments"

"...…..We have found the source of the surge to be their interest in the devil pillar family heirs located in the city" Yasaka said while hesitating, and her worry was found to be right as a sudden surge of green light came out of Ryner,

"Of course it had to be the filthy devils" Ryner said in a demonic voice, suddenly a shout came from Kunou as she let go of Ryner, her hands which held into Ryner's neck were slightly burnt by the light, immediately Ryner withdrew his power and approached Kunou, his hand glowing with a warm blue light as her burns started to heal at a rapid rate,

"Ryner, you seriously need to control your power better" Yasaka said in a stern voice as she released a hint of her power, but then reigned it in, she did not want to threaten or hurt the boy she cared for, she knew that he had not hurt Kunou willingly and that it was an accident,

"The Fel is the very manifestation of chaos Yasaka, it only exists to destroy, thankfully, I have already mastered its anti-thesis a long time ago" Ryner said as he never took off his eyes from Kunou's hands, he felt a pang of guilt for what he had done to the girl he saw as a little sister,

"no matter how many times I see It, I still have a hard time believing that such an absurd power exists and that you were once supposed to be the harbinger of a race created by such power," Yasaka said,

Ryner said nothing as he remembered the day he learned about his powers,

It was a two days after the death of his parents in the hands of the devil that he learned the truth about the whispers he had heard in his hours of despair, the foreign memories that were implanted in his mind, there existed two sets of memories in his mind that were connected to 'the legion', but both the sets of memories were fragmented and only held general knowledge of their origin, their name and the details of his new powers,

The first set belonged to a being called Gul'dan, an Orc Warlock, from his memories, he learned that he now had the power of the Fel, one of the two opposing forces in the twisting nether and the manifestation of chaos,

The second set belonged to the last guardian Medivh, from his memories, he learned about his control over the arcane, the second of the two opposing forces in the twisting nether and the manifestation of order, it was thanks to these memories that he had managed to inscribe arcane runes on his soul to stop his body and mind from being corrupted by the Fel,

From the fragmented memories of Medivh, he had managed to learn about what had happened on that fateful night,

Apparently, when Gul'dan went into a coma after the death of Medivh and the banishment of Sargeras, the souls of Sargeras and Gul'dan had tried to possess another soul, Sargeras wanted another host and Gul'dan wanted to get back to his own body, but the soul of Medivh would not have any of that, the former guardian had somehow managed to forcefully bind the souls of all three of them to a small ring that he had hidden away in a pocket dimension, this was done so that Sargeras would not return to the Nether and manifest once more on Azaroth,

For countless millennia the ring drifted in the void between dimensions until it found its way to Earth, a long time before the birth of the primordials that would one day be known as Great Red and Ophius, once more the ring changed hands over countless millennia until it finally fell into the hands of the Aron Pendragon, Ryner's father, he had snatched the ring from Revizim when it was excavated by the Devil from an ancient temple in Europe using his prized sword Caliburn, on the night of his parents died many years later, the soul of Sargeras sensed a worthy host for itself, but drifting in the unstable void for such a long time and remaining dormant for countless millennia had eroded the soul to an extreme degree, the only thing it remembered was its history, its origin, and its purpose,

The moment the soul had tried to invade the young boy and make him its avatar, an ancient defense rune created by Medivh came to life and erased the weakened remnant of the Sargera's consciousness, leaving behind all of his knowledge for the boy to use, the same thing also happened to Medivh's and Gul'dan's souls, but oddly enough, Ryner did not inherit any power from Sargeras, he only inherited the power of Medivh and Gul' dan, but he inherited the old Titan's memories from his universe,

Another thing he had learned was that the ring acted as a miniature Manaforge, drawing the Fel and Arcane energies from the home dimension of Azaroth until his body developed enough to produce these energies by itself, this was due to the runes inscribed in the ring,

There existed a total of two runes on the ring,

One of the runes erased the consciousness of any of the souls inside it shout they ever escape,

And the other rune would remake the body of the new host into its primordial form, in Ryner's case, the ring remade his body into that of the Vrykul, the superior progenitors of Humans in Azaroth and the creations of the ancient Titans, the Vrykuls had superior bodies and minds compared to that of a typical human, the rune also created an artificial Manaforge inside the hearth of the host called as the 'Mana core' when the host was old enough. This core would create a miniature Twisted nether at the heart of the host which made sure that the host would never run out of Arcane or Fel energies,

His new bloodline as a creation of the titans was one of the reasons why Ryner was much more intimidating and muscular compared to any other modern humans,

As he was reminiscing about the day his life had changed, he suddenly felt Kunou jump on him and shout excitedly,

"Wow Onii-chan!, It doesn't hurt anymore, I did not know you were so proficient in healing arts!"

Ryner smiled warmly as he said nothing and picked her up in his arms,

Truly, it was thanks to this little girl that he had managed to bring himself out of his dark life,

After he had learned about his powers, he had started on a path of vengeance, he had started to hunt down every supernatural creature he came across, whether it be a Devil, a Fallen, a youkai, an Angel, a Dragon, a Stray, it did not matter to him, he simply started to hunt everything, if the opponent was stronger than him, then he would retreat, create a strategy, and strike once again when his opponent was weakened enough due to their exposure to his Fel magic, he had repeated the cycle for over 7 years,

This ruthless way of life had earned him the nickname of 'The Mad one'

It was during one of his expeditions that he had arrived back to his hometown of Kyoto, he was hunting a pack of Fallen angels which consisted of a few mid class and high class Fallen, it was a little difficult but it was still manageable for him, until he learned the reason why they had arrived in Kyoto,

Their target was a little girl that looked no more than 5 years of age, the abominations were about to kidnap the girl away for some kind of leverage and were already done with knocking the girl unconscious,

This made his blood boil as the corruption of the Fel started to seep into him once more, his rage and hatred came back with a vengeance, all of his plans and strategies went out of the window as he directly attacked the Fallen,

He received many injuries, a gaping hole was left in one of his arms and leg with many other grave injuries littered his body, the only reason he was alive was due to his Fel magic, but the fate of the Fallen was much worse, their empty husks littered the ground, all dried up as if they had been dehydrated for centuries, every last drop of their immortal life force drained from them to fuel his magic and heal himself,

At some point during his fight, the girl had woke up and had witnessed his acts, but instead of being afraid she was in awe of his power, this was new for the 12-year-old boy who was used to receiving disgusted looks when his magic was witnessed by the supernatural creatures, the girl asked him to accompany her for the rest of the day and protect her, he did not have the heart to leave such an innocent girl by herself in the city so he accepted and accompanied her everywhere, soon enough, he grew fond of the girl and her antiques.

When the evening came about the girl ran off saying that she needs to return, Ryner had decided to settle down back at his old home which he had repaired using one of the many different forms of magic he had learned during his crusade,

For the next few weeks, he would continue to meet the little girl that would suddenly appear out of nowhere in front of him,

It was during one such day that he had learned the truth about the girl, her mother had come to pick up the girl from the nearby ground where the girl usually run off to, when Ryan saw her he immediately knew that she was a supernatural creature thanks to the immense pressure he felt from her, without any hesitation he immediately pulled Kunou behind him as Fel magic came to life around him, draining the life-force of the woman at a tremendous speed, but the woman did not show any discomfort, for her, it felt like he was pulling a trail of water from a massive sea, it barely even registered to her,

After he learned about her relationship with Kunou, he did not know if he should trust Kunou anymore but looking at the way she behaved the same way she always would, with her big innocent and curious eyes looking at him for his opinion on her mother, he could not help but trust her,

Soon, he began interacting with Yasaka and over the years, she ended up becoming a sister figure for him, this change also allowed him to keep his hatred under control and stop his ruthless ways, instead, he would carry out missions for his mother figure related to the supernatural,

Ryan grimaced as he remembered this, it was not like he had any other choice, Yasaka strictly forbade him from risking his life in any way or form, she even went as far as making him promise to her that he would not fight strong creatures without informing her and taking her advice,

She was truly overprotective of him and Kunou,

"So when am I leaving?" Ryner asked to which Yasaka gave him a flight ticket,

"In a few days, rest up and spend some time with Kunou and me, we missed you," she said as she gently embraced him with Kunou as Ryner did not resist,

Every time he came home, it reminded him why he fought, for what he fought, for what he would fight in the future,

To protect his new home and family
