It was the end of the world, there were dust everywhere. Just abandoned tall buildings in the city covered with vines and alges, no people, no animals, nothing breathing left, exept for some creatures that can never be called human anymore. The radiant sun that used to wake us up in the morning was already covered by the dark clouds up in the sky. Unidentified creatures arose after death, eating every person they see, having inhuman strength and speed with super fast regeneration abilities that made the glorious armies lose and fall. They are beings that don't die by just normal physical damage that guns make, they can crush tanks like an empty can, they can stop trains with their own sheer force and can live through nuclear explosions. They are zombies that mysteriously appeared out of no where and there were no signs of stopping it.
They say it was a contagious experimental virus that had failed to be contained and accident spread throughout the world, but it's a curse that was brought upon humans by themselves. Humans have already made sins since they were born, and thise sins kept getting more and more and was getting worse from time to time. Since humans had since from the beginning of their time, no one had managed to escape the curse. The more and worse sins you had, the more uglier and stronger you become. The world has gone down crazy and everything became ashes by the flames and chaos that spread across the globe.
All governments and the societies had fallen and left run down cities that was full of extremely hideous zombies on the streets, but there were a village behind mountains that continued to strive amids the chaos around them, a village called NEVAEH. They were livind normal lives, no problem with food, water, electricity or anything else and every day, they go into the top of the mountains where you can see 7 peaks of the other mountains. On that mountain peak, they keel and pray for their safety to the 7 immortals that was protecting them. Their faces was carved into the 7 mountain peaks as a symbol of thier protection and peace over the village of NEVAEH.
In the ancient times, Gods descended on the world and lived on that village. The village was living on poverty and was located on a very wide deserted barren lands, but they still whole heartedly welcomed them without knowing that they are Gods. The gods came to them dressed as beggars that had been hungry for several days without drinking water, the people really don't have any reason to let them stay because they themselves were having a rough time and was struggling to survive and eat everyday but, instead of chasing them away, they invited them into their homes. Those people were living on poverty and can only eat 1 and a half bread each dinner shared their food and gave the half breads to them. They treated them like a family, they dressed and fed them without expecting anything from them. The gods were touched with the mercy and hospitality that the villagers showed them, they decided to grant them blessings and make them prosper. With their blessings, the lands became very prosperous, growing green grasses and trees that replaced the deserted lands. The gods made it rain to water their crops and let the dried river get filled with water again, they gave them golds to get what they need and with the gods's and goddesses's guidance, their village also flourished. The villagers hailed the gods and goddesses, giving them their offers and feasts. From then, the village never lacked anything ever again but, someone from a far away land saw the village's prosperity. He spread the word about the village that made other people eye on it. Instead of joining them to please the gods, they decided to raid the village. With the village living in peace for a long time, none of them had known how to fight or protect themselves. The invaders barged onto their village gate and ran inside with their weapons in hand. The villagers got scared, they gathered on the place where the gods and goddesses were. The people were trembling in fear, childrens were crying and women are panicking but, they kneeled and prayed to them, even knowing that they were being attacked, instead of running away, they stayed with the gods and swore to protect them at the cost of their lives. At that time, the villagers proved their loyalty to the gods, with sticks, kitchen knives, rakes and other things that can be used as a weapon, the men gathered it all, behind the door of the hall of gods and goddesses, they waited.
They hear the footsteps of the invaders coming closer and closer to them, the tables were shaking because of their stomps, drinks were falling down the tables and plates shattering on the ground. After that, it became silent for a second, then... A large trunk of a tree that was being carried by 6 men bursted down the thick locked wooden door of the hall. The villagers were shocked, the men's courage was shaken and lost grip to their weapons. The invaders laughed at them and unseathe their swords and pointed their speara to the villagers, they came closer slowly while the men take step backs. They were slowly getting swollowed by fear but they still try their best to cover the women and children behind their backs, they were already being cornered when a red haired little boy shouted behind them.
"How can you call yourselves a man when you're afraid of death!" The red haired boy said.
The other three boys agreed.
"Yeah! Aren't a MAN supposed to be brave and sturdy as a mountain like you told us!?" A green boy shouted.
"They're right! Man up! How can you break your words?! Didn't you tell us that MAN don't break their words?!" A blue haired boy shouted.
The invaders laughed at them.
"Look at those kids, they can say those word because they're not the one who's in front of death's door!" The invader said.
"Hahaha! Don't worry kids! After we kill these cowards, we'll kill you all and play with these pretty women before killing them too!" The other invader said.
The women cowered in fear and was shaking because of fear, the men also wanted to fight back but they can do nothing because they have no weapos to use but, a silver haired little boy shouted at his father really loud that made him clench his fist and grind his teeth.
"Father! Didn't you tell me that a man can be killed! But not humiliated! You can do it father! Protect mother from them!" The silver haired little girl shouted.
His father smiled very wide and looked at the enemy eye to eye.
"Well said! Don't worry, father will take care of this immoral bast*rds!" The father of the silver haired kid said.
"What is this guy thinking? Think they can win without their weapons? Hah! Hilarious!" The invader said.
"What are you smiling for?! Hahaha! He must be already going crazy becausr of fear!" The other invader said.
The father of the silver haired kid cracked his knuckles, he took a step forward and threw a very strong punch at the invader's face and made him sent flying back a few meters. The invadees were shocked and the other villagers were amazed by him, the other men took the opportunity and unarmed their opponents by hitting them very hard in the face while they were still distracted. They're getting pumped by adrenaline and was burning with courage, every cold sweat that was falling off from their face while swinging their fists to the faces of the enemies were clearly seen by the other in ther backs who were admiring them but, there were too many invaders, the men got immediately surrounded and was stabbed by spear and swords with arrows shot on ther backs. All the other men had already fallen and the women and the children was crying for their fathers, husbands and sons. Some elederly villagers fainted because they couldn't bare to see their sons getting annihilated and slaughtered like sheeps that was brutally getting devoured by wolves. All of the other men had already fallen but, the silver haired kid's father kept swinging his fists unconsciously even with getting stabbed by 3 swords, 4 spears around him with 5 arrow shots on his back and to his chest.
"Damn! This guy is so persistent?! Finish him already." The invader said.
The silver haired kid saw the invader pulling his sword and was about to slash his sword to her father's neck, her heart beat got faster and she felt a burst out of strength from her feet. She ran as fast as she can to his father and tackled the guy who was about to cut off his father's head. She took the invader's sword and stabbed it on his face, the other invaders immediately picked her.
"Can't wait to die huh?!" The invaded shouted.
The invader stabbed her with a knife on the chest and twisted it before pulling it out, the invader looked at her face to face when she vomited a lot of blood and covered the invader's face. The invader kicked him very had on the stomach that made her sent slinding in front her mother while her mother's eyes were following her blood trail to him. Her morher shouted very loud in agony, her tears never stopped running out of her eyes and her wails made the room filled with her shaking voice calling his son's name.
"No! Khylle! Don't die! Don't leave mother behind! Khylle! Khylle!" She shouted while she kept tapping her daughter's pale face.
"Don't worry, you'll be following your husband and daughter after we get to play with you! Hehehe!" The invader said.
They were laughing when Khylle's father suddenly stood up again and twisted that invader's neck.
The gods... have given them... IMMORTALITY!
The village was blessed by the gods and had predicted the end of the world, with the god's and goddesses's blessings they became Immortals. With the Immortality they got, reproduction is not possible between them ever again and successfully killed the first sin which is "LUST".
The Immortals spent blood and sweat to erase their human natures, with all the money they had, Greed was easily defeated and with peace, Wrath never occur to them. With their proper discipline and daily training, they manage to overcome Sloth and the thoughts of Envy with encouragement. They contained Gluttony and defeated it by forgetting the feeling of hunger and exhaustion but, the most challenging was Pride. Since they became Immortals, they often have thoughts and tendencies of looking down on mortals so they climbed up to the mountain peak and carved words on the giant rock.
"Everything is equal under the Heavens."
In front of it, they meditated days and nights. Silently clearing their thoughts and placing only that sentence on their heads.
One morning, the sun arised and shone up on their faces. They opened their eyes, the feeling of the radiant sun's sunlight coming to their body. Without the feeling the heat, the fresh breeze of cool air enveloped them, making them feel weightless. Their breathing was clam and the heart rate was normal, they closed their eyes again and faced the sun while the sunlight was covering all of them slowly from their face to their toes.
In that moment, the villgers had managed to completely break free from the shackles of the human mind. After hundreds of years, they picked up mountains and shrouded their village to keep it hidden from humans. They mastered and maintained their throughts clear and untainted.
They learned the ways of swords, spear, bow, and many more. The villagers became weapon masters that can wield any weapon invented, their strengths far supressed human strength that they can move mountains. Everything was perfect in their village that they far surpasses humans in knowledge and their technology was almost 100 years advance, all was learned because of curiosity. They learned how to use magic with the guidance of the gods and goddesses, creating fire balls, breathing or walking underwater. But 400 years before the end of the world, before the judgement curse's appearance, an Immortal named Tadius broke the taboo and left the village. Tadius cannot stop thinking about what's outside since he's never been there since they became immortals and can only watch from inside the village, he wanted to meet more people and experience the outside world but, his mind got poisoned by lust after seeing how many beautiful women are walking with improper clothing and aroused him. He got indulged with lust to many women and spread his bloodline across the world but, it was his offsprings that suffered from his sins. Almost all of his offsprings were kidnapped and was repeatedly examined by greedy and mad scientists after k owing that they cannot die. Tadius's thousand year training were completely shaken and got consumed by anger, he attempted to attack the humans that kidnapped his offsprings but he was intercepted by his fellow villagers and took him back before he can start his revenge. They locked him up to repent from his sins and to restore his peace of mind. But the children were never saved, they were the ones who truly suffered from their father's sins.
Having that in mind, Tadius were never in peace after 400 years of being silently locked up.
Humans had successfully invented vitality pills that can extend your life for 50 years after 400 years of uncountable experiments, but they never succeeded on being immortal, after taking one pill, the second one will not work anymore on them.
When the world ended, all of those prideful and greedy people were gathered in there, where the children were being examined.
Those greedy leaders and powerful families turned into very strong zombies, they continue to devour the never ending immortal bodies of Taduis's offsprings.
*Present Time*
The gods had given signal for them to ascend to the heavens, the time has come to wipe out everything on earth and restart everything. The village chief Gabriel, called everyone including Tadius to announce the immidiate ascension of everyone. Everyone was listening to Gabriel when Tadius shouted and begged.
"What about my offsprings?! They will be left and be just erased after 400 years of suffering! Please! Save and Retrieve them!" Taduis shouted while crying and begging. His cries filled the room that made everyone pity him, it made them remember the day that the invaders came to their village. They remember the feeling of being afraid to lose someone that is dear to the and mostly their own flesh and blood, they all know the feeling of it because it's something that cannot be forgotten after thousands of years. The others agreed and some also didn't but, the unanimous wins so Gabriel agreed. He prayed to the gods to give them time and retrieve the lost descendants, the offsprings of Tadius that committed the sin of breaking the rules in the village. The gods and goddesses made up a meeting wether they postpone the restart or not.
"Should we agree to their wishes? We've already given them everything they want to, immorality, gold, food, water! Everything they need!" The 3rd God Amadeus said.
Amadeus was a hot temperdd God and the one that governed the Fire, he was the third brother of Agnus, the King of heaven and the God that governs over life and death. Agnus was kind and is open minded to everything, he was also the one who granted the villagers immortality as price for their faith and kindness.
"Think about it third brother Amadeus, everything we gave them, they devoted it to us and besides... A fight between our Immortals vs those Monsters... It makes me feel exited down to my spine!" Armin said. Armin was a God that always liked fighting and was othen called the "Battle God of the Heavenly Palace." He was Agnus's fourth brother and was the God who governs the Wind.
After some discussions, the gods and goddesses agreed.
Gabriel got their message and immediately summoned the 7 strongest Immortal Swordsmen of NEVEAH village.
"Summon the 7 Swordsmen! We'll let them entertain the gods!"
