Scene 1 – A Mysterious Planet
Far in the universe lies a mystical planet divided into seven kingdoms:
Human Kingdom – Hariken
Elf Kingdom – Bimba
Orc Kingdom – Renja
Ogre Kingdom – Raskel
Demon Kingdom – Baruto
Spirit Kingdom – Karule
Dragon Kingdom – Odela
These kingdoms rule the world together. For generations, a long-standing war has raged between the Humans and the Demons. The Elf and Spirit Kingdoms support the Humans, while the Orcs and Ogres stand with the Demons.
The Dragon Kingdom, Odela, remains neutral—friendly with all, yet loyal to none.
In this world, the Demon Lord of Baruto is feared as the True Demon Lord, and the King of Odela is revered as the True Dragon.
Scene 2 – Palace of Karule Kingdom
Inside the majestic palace of the Spirit Kingdom Karule, Queen Asely sits on her throne. Yes, she is visibly pregnant.
Walking toward her is her husband, Kolie, the King of Odela—a Dragon King who married the Spirit Queen. Now, their child is about to be born—an extraordinary fusion of Spirit and Dragon lineage.
Kolie walks up to the throne and sits beside her.
Asely: "Why are you here, Kolie?"Kolie: "Isn't it natural for a husband to be with his pregnant wife?"Asely: "Why?"Kolie: "So I can look after you. You need rest. You're pregnant, after all."Asely: "But there's no war right now…"Kolie: "Still, just relax. I'll handle everything."
Asely nods, stands up from the throne, and walks away.
Moments later, a Spirit Maid named Riti rushes in.
Riti: "Lord Kolie! Lord Kolie!"Kolie: "What is it, Riti?! Why are you here? You were supposed to stay with Asely!"Riti: "Queen Asely suddenly screamed in pain… She fainted… and… she's given birth!"
Kolie: "What?! That's… that's wonderful news!"
Scene 3 – Birth of Kirito
In a quiet chamber, Queen Asely lies asleep, and a maid holds a newborn baby in her arms.
Kolie approaches gently.
Kolie: "T-This… this is my child..."Maid: "Yes, Lord Kolie. Queen Asely is resting."Kolie: "Alright… hand him to me."
The maid carefully passes the baby to him. Kolie lifts him high with pride.
Kolie: "He will grow to achieve great things. His name shall be Kirito Drans... Hmm? What is this?"
Kolie notices a strange black triangle-shaped mark on the baby's back.
Maid: "My lord, this mark… it appeared when he was born."Kolie: "Could it be a seal… or something else? But why?"Maid: "I'm not sure…"
Scene 4 – Three Years Later
Odela Kingdom Garden
Three years have passed. Kirito, now a toddler, is in the palace garden with Kolie and Asely. Kolie is trying to train him.
Kolie: "Kirito! Even now, you haven't learned a single skill!"Kirito: "I'm trying my best, Papa!"Kolie: "True Dragons are born with skills and power far beyond others. But you… you can't even manage a basic physical attack!"
Kirito punches a tree with all his might, but blood trickles from his hand, and he cries out in pain.
Kirito: "Aaaaggghhhhhh!! T_T"
Asely: "Kolie! Don't be so harsh! He's just a child—only three!"Kolie: "In our kingdom, children begin combat training at one. And yet he's still this weak?"Kirito: "T_T"
Asely: "I have an idea. What if we place a Spirit Unit within Kirito?"Kolie: "Spirit Unit...?"Asely: "Yes, exactly. A Spirit Unit."Kolie: "Hmm… That's a good idea. Let's do it."Kirito: "?"
Scene 5 – Spirit Unit Ritual Begins
Karule Kingdom – Deep Forest
A massive ancient tree stands in the heart of the jungle. A hidden entrance lies beneath it. Kirito, Asely, and Kolie walk inside. The path is long and lined with many doors.
Asely: "Don't open any of the doors. Each one leads to a different dimension or timeline. If you go through one, you may never return."
Kirito walks nervously, clinging to his mother's side. At the end of the path, they see a dark light and step into it.
They find themselves in an empty void—a place of nothingness. Above, below, behind, ahead—only endless space. The path they came from floats behind them.
Kolie: "Now what?"Asely: "Simple. Kirito, come here."Kirito: "M-Mommy?"Asely: "It's easy. Just… fall down into this void."
Without warning, Asely throws Kirito into the void.
Kolie: "KIRITO!! A-Asely! What have you done?! Have you lost your mind?!"Asely: "Wait! This void is filled with spirits—though you may not see them. Good spirits live here. One of them will save him."
Kolie: "And what if they don't?!"Asely: "Then... then we'll lose him forever. He'll never return… T_T"Kolie: "How could you do this without asking me?! Not even a warning?!"Asely: "Because I knew you'd never allow it. But if we don't do this… the future of both the Spirit and Dragon kingdoms will be in danger. You know that! T_T
He's our son—I love him too! But we are King and Queen first! We are parents not just to our son—but to our entire people!"
Kolie: "...Asely... ):"
Suddenly, a massive blast of energy erupts from the void.
Kolie: "What was that?! Kirito…?!"Asely: "A powerful spirit must've entered his body—that's what caused the explosion. That means… he's alive. He's powerful now. Kirito is coming back to us… (:"
