From the beginning, immortals and mortals have been sundered from each other. Immortals have mastered their Tama, wielding their true power; holding domain over mortals. Mortals, meanwhile, still see Tama in the form of intricate jewels of various shapes, failing to bring out their true strength; also, they are slaves to death —and the immortals.

Over the years, some immortals, who have been labelled as Yotram, have come to the Earth to stop mortals from being immortal. In their eyes, they see humanity as a food source, slaves and means of entertainment.

After waiting for the Villain Rehabilitator to disappear, the Yotram thought that they would expunge all of LIFE's creations on Earth. However, their actions ended up creating individuals who seek to be immortal.

The first, goes by the name of Lucien Derniere Étoile. Growing up, his life was a play in the eyes of certain individuals. Moreover, a flesh eating spirit was placed in his mother's body, so that they would watch him suffer. After killing his mother, as the only way to save her, Lucien voyages himself across the world for revenge. Also, being immortal is the best way for him to succeed.

The second, goes by the name of Ten. As someone born on the rotten side of humanity, Ten never desired much in life. However, his thirst for knowledge brought him to the power of Entropy, which happens to be the weakness of all immortals. Guided by his curious mind, Ten continues to master the power inside him, drawing him closer and closer to becoming immortal.

Although Lucien and Ten have different goes, they are bound by interest at first. Nonetheless, as they move, their bond grows, calling others to them.

Also, they have to do everything in their power to stop the undying Yotram that stand in their way.

"Derniere-san, what is it that makes your hammer great? That cream which makes it special?"


Shinji asked, enjoying the eerie moon view on the Hill Cat, with his hands on his back like an old crone.


Lucien answered with crossed arms, his gaze fixed on a certain group of stars.


"Yes, that's it! Its killer moves focus all on destroying, not just your opponent, but the surroundings as well. People sometimes have a terrain advantage when fighting. You, however, make your own terrain advantage! Learn to fight in unstable conditions, always!"


If our Mozambican and Zimbabwean friends are to witness the scene Lucien produced with his hammer, then, they will be greatly reminded of tragic the Cyclone Idai of 2019. The green land is now barren, with only two figures standing face to face.


Lucien isn't worried about Tento —the young man has his mechanic suit to protect him. When it comes to Tsukino, the fact that he is alive, means she is too.
