## Premise

In this new anime series, it takes place in an alternate universe that is part of the series' canon. It follows Jack and Bella as they still live like high-schoolers while also demon slayers. They, Arsia and Freddy went to a summer vacation in Valborne, the place where Arsia was raised in. There, she meets her sister Alice (a Royal Maiden Valkyrie) and decided to have a royal summer break. However, a band of inhumans, led by Bruno, managed to resurrect Satan via alchemy and has caused disorder and ruin around in such areas in Valborne, including the Aidem Kingdom. Jack, Bella, Arsia, Freddy, and newcomer Alice must bring order and peace back in Valborne, defeat all inhumans and defeat Satan and Bruno for the sake of humanity.

## Characters

* Jack Udo - The main protagonist. He is a transferred high school student who went to Capital Boundarier's Boundary High and is the hero (alongside Bella) of the city for beating up/keeping Satan and his demons away from the overworld. Jack got his Demon Brawler powers from Satan by accident (in which they both agree on (much to Satan's dismay)) but is now starting to grow a liking for his newfound demonic powers. He has 5 super forms known as Demon Phases. Demon Phases 1 and 2 are for weaker enemies and Demon Phases 3 and 4 are for stronger enemies. Demon Phase 5, however, is for incredible enemies such as Satan and Xalvandar.
* Bella Yakanori - The co-protagonist. She is Jack's friend and eventual girlfriend. When Jack was imprisoned by Satan, Bella escaped and managed to gain Angelic powers from the Admin's lieutenants who have gain trust to her. Granted with a magic sword, she trains to master her swordsmanship to eventually beat Satan. Bella doesn't have any super forms whatsoever but she can change her Angel's Katana to a much better, and more stronger blade. Her 2nd blade is the Angel's Knife and her 3rd and final blade is the Angel's Claymore, which is far more superior than her previous 2 weapons.
* Arsia Kiyoshi - One of the deuteragonists. She is Jack and Bella's friends and Freddy's roommate plus love interest, as well as the younger sister of Alice. Due to having a lack of Royal Valkyrie spirit and into fashion and pop-culture, Arsia was sent to Boundarier for education and the things she desires. Even with the help of the likes of Jack, Bella, and Freddy.
* Freddy Shinji - One of the deuteragonists. He is Jack and Bella's friends and Arsia's roommate plus love interest. Freddy is highly intelligent, enjoys reading fantasies and literature, in which the lieutenants of the Admin grants him a magical grimoire that can cast magic and spells such as fire, curse/poison, thunder, healing, strength, etc..
* Alice Kiyoshi - The tritagonist. She is the older, biological sister of Arsia and a Royal "Maiden" Valkyrie from the Royal Valkyries that existed many ages ago until they became very rare and somewhat extinct, making Alice and Arsia the only valkyries left. Alice is a highly-skilled swordswoman who wields the Brute's Knife, a sword sized kitchen knife that can actually hurt her foes with high damage.
* Satan - The main antagonist. He is the arch-nemesis of Jack and Bella. He is the former ruler of Hell and the person who was responsible for accidentally giving Jack his demonic powers. Satan possesses incredibly satanic powers and is impossible for anyone to defeat him...but Jack and Bella themselves.
* Bruno - The co-antagonist. He is Satan's second-in-command and is leader of the Inhumans who summoned him back from the Timid, a dimension that is impossible to leave out of and a place that is for very dangerous entities. He and his crew are based on the 7 Deadly Sins, making him the Wrath of the Group.
