## Story

### In the Beginning.

In the beginning, there was nothing. Until, a world emerged filling the cosmos with many diversities. Inside the world, dinosaurs roamed and the first beast, Unita is created.

### The Start of Mythos

Several years after the disappearance of the dinosaurs, humans started roaming the world and thus, came Mythos. Mythos is an energetic young child who likes exploring and one day wants to explore the whole world.

When Mythos turned 15, he decided to start his journey. Accompanying him, is his twin sister, Luna. Both of them traveled the world and finds a young orphan named Travas. They decided to take Travas in and join them on their journeys.

### The Traveler Who Brings Joy

One day, Mythos realized that the world is pretty... blank. There wasn't a single fun around it and it just seems boring. And so, Mythos found a way to make the world more interesting. By telling the ancient people across the world stories about mystical and magical monsters that doesn't exist. Mythos dubbed these monsters as "Beasts". With these stories, the people around the world laughed and having fun. This became the reason why Mythos is known as "The Traveler who Brings Joy". Mythos's stories are passed down through generations and even wrote in books such as fairy tales and poems.

### Beast Forger Travas

Every time Mythos told the stories about these beasts makes Travas wished more and more that they were real. Until on one fateful day, the group was travelling in a jungle and Travas found a mysterious egg. He kept it and cared for it until it hatched. When it did, the egg hatched into the Descendant of Unita. The first beast. It called itself, Uni and is able to grant one of Travas's wish. Travas of course wanted the beasts that Mythos told stories about to be real. Uni granted his wish by making him into a Beast Forger. A being that is capable of making any creature they dreamed of to be true. Uni taught Travas how to use his powers. After he mastered his powered, he forged a dragon and set it free while Uni disappeared into thin air. Travas decided to keep this power from Mythos and Luna and tell them when the time is right.

### Meeting with the Legendary Warrior

One day, the group met with the Legendary Warrior, George. A human with great combat skills and is aided by the power of the Elemental Ores, The Stella Barrier and the Swift Armor. This motivated Luna on researching more magical objects. The group decided to stay with George in the village for a while and told them stories about Beasts. Then, the dragon that Travas forged a while before came back and burned the village to the ground. Much to Mythos's surprise, seeing the Beast he made up is certainly shocking. Travas then told Mythos and Luna about his beast forging power. This of course, upsets Mythos. George decided to grab his lance and slayed the beast but died in the process. Luna decided to keep the Elemental Ores and the Stella Barrier while the Swift Armor is saved in George's grave. Mythos decided to still let Travas be on his journey on a condition to never beast forge again.

### Dawn of the Demons

Deep in the underworld, resides beings known as demons. Evil Demons resides on the prison, Tartarus waiting for the day to be released and rule the mortal world. One of the demons inside of Tartarus, is Belial. A dangerous demon wanting to rule and destroy the universe by searching a worthy vessel. He's able to spy on the mortal realm above and saw Travas. A boy with beast forging powers. Belial saw a way for him able to rule the universe by possessing the boy. He sent a part of himself to go out to the mortal realm to possess him and successfully doing so.

### The Dark Ages

Belial, successfully possessing Travas, he used his power to forge evil beasts and free the evil demons on Tartarus. Seeing this, Mythos panicked and hid Luna in the Greek Pantheon Temple. Belial shrouded the universe in darkness and gave birth to the darkness element. The universe is nothing but chaos. This event is what now known as "The Dark Ages"

### Start of the Overseers

With the Universe shrouded in chaos, Mythos needs to find a way to stop this. He then remembered the Elemental Ores that he got from George. He recruited warriors to inherit this power. A young innovator named Volt inherited the Lightning Element, A marine biology enthusiast named Glacia inherited the Water and Ice element, Aa dragon researcher named Terra inherited the Earth and Nature Element, A young child with burning passion named Mera inherited the Fire Element and a mysterious boy who studies dark magic named Spectre inherited the Wind Element. Thus, the Overseers were created.

### Battle Against Belial

The Battle Against Belial is enraged. The Overseers, now trained by Mythos, clashed with the Demon but failed pathetically. The Overseers were down but Spectre remembered a dark, forbidden spell to curse demons on one of the books he found. Spectre used the spell and cursed Belial separating him into two. His good side became Baal, while his evil side became Liel. Travas's body is overwhelmed and made a massive scar on his mouth. Spectre obtained the darkness element and became the ruler of the demons. Mythos and the Overseers decided to erase the memories of eye witnesses so humanity have nothing to remember about the Dark Ages.

### Aftermath

Travas's body is imprisoned by Mera's flame seal. This made Travas wanted to have revenge on Mythos and the Overseers and adopted the identity: Ferno. Mythos and the Overseers then kept journeying together while Luna decided to stay on the Greek Pantheon Temple researching the mysterious relics there.

The Overseers and Mythos made many friends and discoveries. Terra found an egg which will later hatch into Goliath (Gray's Adopted father), They met a demon who accidentally emerged from the underworld to the mortal realm named Chrome who bonded with Spectre and will later become his Butler and Partner, and a seed which Mythos planted becoming the Tree of Life. Many years later, Mythos and the Overseers settled on a place they call "Overseer Void". Mythos then found an interest on prophecies by finding a mysterious orb. With the orb showing mysterious and creepy prophecies, Mythos started to panic because he didn't want the Overseers to worry about the prophecies. Mythos decided to separate himself from the Overseers by living on the Ancient Library. Mythos tasked the Overseers to watch and guide humans from evil beasts.

### Mythos's Immortality

Mythos, started growing old and nearing his death wanted to see one last prophecy from the orb. The prophecy shocked Mythos as it stated the return of the Dark Ages. It also stated the Overseers being dead. This worries Mythos and decided to find a way to live longer. He contacted Luna and replied reading about a Fountain of Youth. A Fountain made of clear water from the Phoenix that grants the user immortality in exchange of a body part. Mythos searched for it until he found the Legendary Fountain of Youth. He asked the fountain to give him immortality and the fountain wanted to trade Mythos's body part for it. Mythos decided to give up his leg in exchange of immortality. And so, Mythos kept living waiting for the Dark Ages to be reborn and hoping someone would put an end to it.
