Chapter 1 :- The Dark Realm Awakens

Deep within the Amazon Rainforest, hidden from the eyes of ordinary men, lay a forbidden portal—a gateway to another dimension. A realm beyond human limits, where creatures of unimaginable strength roamed freely. This place was known as the Dark Realm, a world that even the strongest warriors dared not enter.

But one man did.

His name was Hercules the Slayer—hailed as the strongest man to ever live. He was a warrior unlike any other, a man who sought to conquer even the impossible. Ignoring the warnings, he infiltrated the restricted zone and stood before the sealed portal.

"A realm of monsters beyond human limits? Sounds like my kind of challenge."

With a confident smirk, he shattered the seal and stepped inside.

The Throne of Blood

The air inside the Dark Realm was thick, suffocating. The scent of blood and death filled his lungs. He found himself standing in a vast castle drenched in crimson, the remains of countless bodies scattered across the floor. And there, seated atop a throne of bones, was him—the King of Darkness.

Artorius.

"So... the so-called strongest man has arrived."

The voice was deep, ancient, and filled with power. Hercules clenched his fists, sensing an unimaginable pressure radiating from the being before him. But before he could move, a figure appeared in an instant.

Uranus, the Knight of Death.

"You are not worthy to stand before my King."

Hercules attacked without hesitation, his punches breaking the very air. But Uranus dodged effortlessly, as if he was toying with him. Hercules gritted his teeth and pushed beyond his limits—until, for a brief moment, he overpowered the Knight.

Then, Uranus drew his sword.

The very air froze as an overwhelming bloodlust filled the castle. Hercules' instincts screamed—he was going to die.

But before Uranus could strike, Artorius raised his hand.

"Enough. This one is interesting."

Hercules stood frozen as Artorius smiled.

"You have exceeded your limits, human. Now, I offer you a choice…

Do you wish to join the Dark Warriors?"

Hercules' body was trembling. Not from fear—but from desire. He had sought absolute power, and now, it was right in front of him.

He looked at the darkness, at the realm before him.

And he chose to fall.

A New Legend Begins

The world had changed that day. The seal was broken, and the Dark Warriors were free.

Far away, in a quiet village, a young boy named Rei Kamisaka listened to his mother's stories. Stories of the warriors who had once sealed the Dark Realm away, 128 years ago. His eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Mom, can I become strong like them?"

His mother smiled. "Yes, but it will take a lot of hard work."

Rei grinned.

"Then I'll do it. No matter what."
