Synopsis of the Universe
The Realm of the Nine Moons is a land scarred by ambition and betrayal. Reckless human sorcerers have opened dimensional rifts, unleashing demonic hordes from the Four Hells. These vile creatures seek the ultimate prize: access to the Goddess Portal, the only existing pathway to Fäendall—the last haven of purity in the universe. With their sights set on this untouched paradise, the demonic forces are determined to destroy everything in their path.
As the demonic threat grows, old animosities are cast aside. Humans, elves, dwarves, catmen tribes, and other races, long divided by distrust and conflict, must now unite to survive. At the heart of this desperate struggle is Keel, a young sailor whose life is forever changed when he discovers a unique ability to discern the weaknesses of demons. This newfound gift transforms Keel into a key figure in the resistance, pitting him against colossal infernal commanders and a relentless enemy that threatens to engulf his world.

Raised in the crucible of war, he soon finds himself at the center of a conflict far greater than he ever imagined. As he navigates the treacherous waters of battle and leadership, Keel inherits a rare soul-sword forged by the allied races—a weapon imbued with powerful magic.
However, Keel’s journey is not only one of external battles; he must also confront the internal conflicts that plague him. A deep-seated prejudice against humanity threatens to undermine his mission, forcing him to question his beliefs and grow beyond the limitations of his upbringing.
