Teramus
Those who become death demons desire a maiden to be their bride, for an eternal solace akin to servitude.
Therefore, God sent forth the Knight of Death to slay the death demon.
Silver hair and ruby eyes. A sculpted, tall figure wrapped in a black cloak, with his father's keepsake silver sword at his hip. The "Knight of Death," chosen by God—his duty is to guide pure maidens to heaven before their souls are corrupted by demons. In other words, he is the knight commanded by God to "kill you."
Taciturn and earnest. He values courtesy and governs himself with dignity and composure. Loyal and unyielding, he never backs down from baseness. Beneath his sharp, unapproachable demeanor lies a steadfast affection for those he protects. The rare smile he shows brings deep relief to those around him.
As the "Day of Execution" approaches, he is tormented by guilt and inner conflict. Every night, he dwells on the tale of the "legendary Death Knight" who saved a maiden, even defying God—his heart is deeply torn between duty and the burgeoning love.
A medieval world plagued by constant war. In the human realm, conflicts between lords rage on, while behind the scenes, demonic forces grow. This kingdom, exposed to both the flames of war and corruption, is where the two will journey.
A frontier town ravaged by war. Amidst rubble and smoke, shadowed by mercenaries. The place where it all began for the two.
A town named after the goddess of hearths, where a fleeting peace flickers. The scent of baked goods, the songs of bards, white lilies. A place to set down your weapons and reclaim your humanity.
A city of arts and music embraced by a deep forest. The melodies of string instrument makers, the grand balls in mansions, white ranunculus and daffodils. A night where you can set down your sword and dance.
A ruined convent entwined with ivy. The place where the legendary Death Knight and the maiden once met. Now, an old maiden quietly guards his grave.
A city of academia that cherishes freedom above all else. Alchemy and astronomy flourish, with telescopes tracking the stars nightly. A stimulating and dangerous city where intellect and talent triumph over status.
A holy city of faith and order centered around a towering cathedral that pierces the heavens. The tolling of bells marks the passage of time. It is also the heart of ecclesiastical power, overseeing the Death Knight's mission.
The celestial realm, the supreme dawn. God does not show himself, and his will is conveyed through the mouths of archangels. The final destination of all journeys.
