CREATION… There are three realms of might known to it—the Earth-Realm, Sky-Realm, and Heavenly-Realm. Four stages exist within each realm, and every created being must advance through each one with equal fairness to reach the highest attainable level… The Heavenly Realm!

Or so it was believed…

Privy to only the most privileged, was the knowledge of an ancient—unproven rumor. One that ran amok within the gatherings of the higher entities of the universe; the searing Seraphs, the arrogant Empyreans, and the lofty Celestials. A rumor that spoke of a fourth and final realm!

Inconceivable!

Or so they thought…

A deviant emerged. One backed up by Heaven's radiance. And whether coincidentally or not, his very name echoed this truth.

This is the tale of how the history of the universe was rewritten.

Rise of The Holy-Realm Rebel

His tone was no better than a whisper, but my head spun anyway. The same could be said for Eiko, who instantly rose to her feet. I watched her eyes grow wider and wider from realization and genuine horror.

Eiko froze, probably due to the chaotic events around her. She had barely recovered from the nigh-death she experienced from battling a Mountain-Stage Beast… this was simply too much.

"Sister, didn't you hear me?!" Seinaru cried, tears already choking his voice. "They took Nura!"

Eiko's breathing grew rapid at that point. Her chest rose and fell in what resembled a spell of fright. Her eyes grew wider and her expression carried her fear in its fullness.

Confusion, horror, indecision, shock--all these swam in her mind, and for the first time I saw a truly emotionally weakened Eiko.

It moved something in me, and I couldn't stand to watch.
