Story

In the depths of time, there was a demon who sought to alter his fate... His name long forgotten. A prideful demon, convinced that his power could conquer all. But it was his arrogance that led to his sealing bound within a chain. And that chain, they say, is the Arbiter of Fate. The Binder of Souls. A relic, cast from east to west throughout history. Now, it has resurfaced. And I shall tell you the tale of four souls who dare to defy destiny... A fool who bargains with the Devil. A pair of eyes that have seen too much. A needle striving to be a sword. And a hanged man. Sit. For I have only just begun. And already, I must tell you this:

Fate is not a line.
