At the dawn of creation, when no humans roamed the land, a lone monkey was born—not from a mother, but from a stone. As centuries turned to millennia, his kind vanished. Yet he alone survived. Unaging, unyielding, and undying, he became a beast shaped by endless war and hunger for battle.
For five million years, he hunted, fought, and evolved, transcending his primal origins. Believing himself a god of war in a lifeless world, everything changed the day two celestial stones fell from the heavens. From them emerged two humans—radiant with power, masters of flame and steel. In their strange duel over a vessel filled with golden liquid, the monkey witnessed power unlike anything he’d ever known.
Drawn by instinct and curiosity, he drank the liquid.
And awakened.
