There was once a story my father told me when I was a kid. It was about how the world came to be. It takes place one thousand years ago on a normal farm in Japan. There the two brothers, Sora and Riku, had a peaceful life.
"not for looong..." my father would say always making me smile.
Everyday they would do the same routine, wake up, make the bed, eat, and farm. It was always the same, and the two liked it. Until one day, they saw what appeared to be a black flame of some sort. Looking at each other, the farmers walked down the hill to go check on it. Sora tried to poke it but it didn't hurt and his finger would go right through it. It all seemed like just some wierd occurance that happened that day.
But, this is where it all started.
After touching it a few times, Sora and Riku began to walk away, calling it quits as it was already almost nighttime. Before they could walk away though, a growling noise came out of the flame. The brothers were questioning their ears and slowly turned to the black flame. Suddenly a large alien-like hand clamped the air. The flame grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until a large beast walked out of it.
It began to speak.
"I... Gi-Gikan..." It said, though it wasn't clear, it said it was a "Gikan".
The Gikan was large and had a muscular body, its skin was dark green and its head was bone-white. The Gikan's nose was enlarged and its eyes seemed to be hollowed out.Sora was about to run away having Riku following behind, but the Gikan instantly got in front of them. It blocked the path of escape and swatted at the brothers like mosquitoes on its shoulder.
(This is where it gets dark, I have no idea why my father would tell me this story as a kid...)
They fell to the ground bleeding and hopeless. Riku turned to his brother, but when he saw him, his skin turned pale. Sora's eyes were lifeless. The Gikan had killed him. Riku shouted in pain and desperation ready to enter death's door, but before the Gikan could hit him, Riku noticed his body began to emit an "aura". It was bright yellow, almost like the sun had given Riku a coat. When the Gikan's fist made contact with the aura, it was repelled backwards nearly instantaneously. Riku's wounds healed to nothing letting him stand up. He glanced at his dead brother and then shot his head up at the Gikan.
"you're dead..." Riku said.
With no warning, Riku landed a devestating blow on the Gikan's head, smashing it to bits.
And that's the end, but unfortunately for me and for everybody on Earth at the moment, this is the truth...
1,000 years ago, two farmers found a mysterious black flame on the west coast of Japan. When they went to check on it, out came a beast called a Gikan. With one hit, it knocked the two men down to the ground. Bleeding, one of the farmers noticed a yellow aura surrounding him. He felt strength rush through his veins. He had unlocked the powers of a Spirit Executor.
Throughout the course of history, more Gikan emerged meaning more people unlocked Spirit executor abilities creating mass chaos. Sezja Kazimir, a well-known man, founded the Soul Association to put the world in order. Rihito Shikabane dreams of becoming a hero to the world after his parents were killed by a Gikan. After completing the Exam Trials, Rihito joins the 4th Legion and takes part in dangerous missions to learn the true reason why the Gikan arrived on Earth all those years ago.
