On July 1st of the year 499, the 8 Great Patriarchs made a worldwide announcement.
"I, the most powerful of the 8 Great Patriarchs, pronounce in this place the preparation of the "Final War" which will begin on January 1st of the year 500.
This war will be a giant battle royale across the continent, with the aim of defining the strongest or most devious survivors of this world to take our places and thus become the new Great Patriarchs.

It is following this more than astonishing announcement that Yùichi MATO decided to do everything to become one of the new Great Patriarchs.

Unfortunately for him, his road will be long and full of pitfalls before he can hope to become one of them.

But before all, he will have to learn to know himself and his inner strength.

EARTH SURVIVAL

Lysis - "So, if I understand correctly, this is blackmail?" 


Me - "No, not at all, it's a proposal." 


Lysis - "Yeah, that's a great proposal, either we accept and become your minions, or we refuse and leave right away." 


Me - "I never said you'll become my minions, I said you'll just have to do what I tell you. 


Lysis - "It amounts to the same thing, you just said it in a different way." 


Me - "Maybe, but you have everything to gain by accepting." 


Kosho - "And what do we have to gain?" 


Me - "Teammates to rely on, training that will strengthen you physically and mentally, and most importantly a team that can win the war." 


I think I went a little overboard with my last proposal, but when I thought about it it sounded good in my head so I thought it would be a good idea, but seeing their reaction, it must have sounded more like a spoiled brat's whim. 


Kosho - "And how can I be sure you're going to win this war?"
