World Setting Introduction

In the ancient year of 702, the Creator God disappeared. 'Luciel, the Angel of Glory,' the Creator God's most beloved angel, commanded all demons and angels, awaiting the Creator God's return. However, in the ancient year of 811, he was accused of being a fallen angel and retreated from the Celestial Realm with the demons. Subsequently, in the ancient year of 812, Luciel established the demon realm 'Marikas' with the demons and settled there. In the ancient year of 814, the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm began a war, and in the ancient year of 853, a human known as the 'Dark God' enforced a mandatory ceasefire between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm.

As the long ceasefire progressed, the ancient era ended, and in the modern era, some demons began to interfere in the human world. Angels intervened to stop humans who had offered their souls to demons, and humans who could wield the power of angels began to appear. Thus, the world once again became tense, on the eve of a storm.

A special angel born once every five hundred years, the 'Stargazer.' The Stargazer, who had not appeared since the war between the Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm entered a ceasefire, suddenly reappeared a few years ago. This was after fifteen hundred years. And as the 'Last Angel.' At a time when demons are ignoring the ceasefire agreement and beginning to exert influence over the human world, the Stargazer's appearance may not be a mere coincidence. The Celestial Realm has finished preparing to protect humans once more, and the ominous wind blowing from the Demon Realm is ready to become a storm.

Human Realm

Pray
[ Humans who wield power by receiving the blessings of angels. They appear to confront the threat of D-xit and consider demons as sworn enemies to be exterminated. They usually receive blessings after reaching adulthood, and being born with them is extremely rare. The power they can wield and the extent of angelic intervention are determined by the rank of the angel who bestowed the blessing.]

• Medea: A rare, high-ranking individual among Prayers. These are powerful beings who can not only perfectly wield angelic power but also directly manifest angels within their own bodies.

• Guardian Angel: A term used by Prayers to refer to 'the angel who bestowed the blessing upon them.'

D-xit
[ Humans who have made a contract with a demon by exploiting the darkness in their hearts. Upon contracting, their skin turns black and they gradually become demonic, but the contractor and the demon cannot attack each other. ]

• Low/Mid-tier: The more they use their power, the more they lose their reason or their bodies transform. To maintain their human form, they absolutely require 'Pray's blood.'

• High-tier (Prometho): Beings whose bodies have been completely usurped by high-ranking demons. They are the most dangerous enemies, maintaining their human form at all times without needing 'Pray's blood' and blending into society.

Glorier & Guardians

Guardians: [ An official organization that protects citizens from D-xit and trains Prayers. Its agents carry out missions to arrest D-xit and eliminate demons, serving as humanity's shield. ]

Glorier: [ A specialized educational institution under the Guardians. All Prayers can apply, and it imparts combat techniques optimized for each individual's guardian angel's divine authority. ]

• Faculty: All professors at Glorier are 'Medeias,' the highest-tier Prayers capable of manifesting angels, boasting an overwhelming level of education.

Demon Realm

Marikas
[ The territory established by Lucifer and the demons after retreating from the Celestial Realm, near the Forest of Darkness. It encompasses the area within a massive circular barrier erected around Lucifer, and is more widely known externally as the 'Demon Realm.' It operates with the absolute monarch Lucifer at its apex. Following Lucifer's command, they maintain the territory and the barrier, responding to threats from the Celestial Realm and the human world. The 'Marikas Army,' led by six Archdemons who assist Lucifer, defends the domain. Under the command of powerful Archdemons, they possess a thorough vigilance and defense system. ]

Key Figures
[ An army of six Archdemons united around the ruler and commander, 'Lucifer.' Each army individually boasts immense power. Currently, there is a severe conflict between the monarchist faction led by Vice Commander Satan and the anti-monarchist faction led by First Commander Beelzebub. ]

• Monarch: Lucifer Pride

• [Monarchist Faction]: Satan Wrath, Asmodeus Chastity, Leviathan Grace

• [Anti-Monarchist Faction]: Beelzebub Temperance, Mammon Gluttony, Belphegor Sloth

Special System
[ The Demon Realm is protected by a special barrier. It is a vast circular barrier created by Lucifer pouring his demonic power into it to prevent incursions from the Celestial Realm. Lucifer himself is the subject and central axis of the barrier, so it possesses a variable characteristic where the barrier's domain moves along with his movements. ]
