Emptyness

In a world once ruled by two legendary kings Tatsuyoshi Saionji, the first and strongest human-born king, and Kenshin Djinaz, a djinn who became the ruler of his kind the realm enjoyed 800 years of peace. This era ended with the rebellion of the tribrids and gods, led by Tatsuyoshi's descendants. The resulting war claimed the lives of the gods and the two kings, but the twin tribrids survived, only to be defeated by a cursed child named Rin, born of the Saionji bloodline with red wolf eyes. After the war, the tribrids vanished, and the new kings, Kazuhiko Saionji and Ryuzo Djinaz, succeeded their fathers and have maintained a fragile peace for five years. They now rule over twenty royal factions in their world, while Rin oversees Earth a separate planet where humans and fallen royalty coexist under his protection.

One day, the new kings met with Rin to discuss the ongoing threat of the twin tribrids, who were born 600 years ago from a mix of djinn, human, and beast blood. The kings expressed their concern that the tribrids had absorbed the power of the first kings, making them nearly unbeatable even Rin admitted that he could no longer defeat them. Rin, however, expressed indifference, stating that he no longer cared about the tribrids or their threat. He argued that the peace the new kings had achieved was fragile, criticizing them by claiming that their father's true legacy was overshadowed by an illusion of peace. Rin asserted that their current peace was a fade, maintained only by his presence, and that the royal factions were loyal to them only because of his support.

Kazuhiko retorted that Rin was born to serve his bloodline and that the only reason Tatsuyoshi raised him was to serve the world and the royal factions. Rin countered that he no longer cared about serving anyone and that his debt to the first king was settled. When Ryuzo inquired about the state of Earth, Rin responded that his planet was thriving without his direct presence and that its inhabitants were content with his decisions. Kazuhiko then expressed concern about the four princesses living on Earth, noting that their presence among humans posed a significant risk. Rin acknowledged the concern and suggested that if the princesses were to become corrupted, he could share some of his own royal power with them, since he himself is partially corrupted. Kazuhiko remarked that Rin had managed to survive corruption by relinquishing most of his emotions, stating that he did not want to see another person endure such suffering. He insisted that Rin needed to share some of his royal power with the princesses before they became corrupted themselves. Rin, however, pointed out that the four princesses were seeking revenge against the black dragon that destroyed their kingdom which, unbeknownst to them, was actually Rin himself. Despite this, Rin had never revealed his true identity to them. Kazuhiko and Ryuzo both urged Rin to disclose the truth to the princesses, assuring him that they would understand his actions. Rin, however, refused. He agreed to share some of his royal power with the princesses but insisted that they must travel to their kingdom to receive it. Ryuzo agreed to Rin's condition on the premise that Rin would also train him and Kazuhiko to prepare for the threat posed by the tribrids. Rin countered that their focus should be on building a world similar to what the first kings had envisioned, as he alone could handle the tribrids due to his hybrid nature and the closeness of his royal power to that of the first kings. Acknowledging Rin's perspective, Ryuzo and Kazuhiko consented to take the princesses to their kingdom and prepare to confront the tribrids.

Twenty years ago, a child was born from a human woman and a Saionji father, marked by red wolf eyes and a distinctive tattoo-like mark on his back, denoting him as the "Cursed One." His mother despised his eyes, and his father resented the fact that he was born human, as Saionji bloodline children are typically born with inherent royal power.

Despite the expectations of their bloodline, this child, unlike others, did not possess the anticipated powers. As a result, his parents withheld a name from him and subjected him to neglect and abuse from the moment he was born. The child grew up in a hostile environment, rejected by both his parents and society, due to his perceived failure to meet the Saionji family's expectations. When the first king, Tatsuyoshi Saionji, learned of his cursed descendant, he decided to intervene. Despite the child's harsh upbringing and the disdain of his parents, Tatsuyoshi saw potential and chose to bring the nameless boy to his kingdom. Recognizing that the world would offer the child the same rejection and cruelty he had faced from his parents, the king resolved to train him to become strong enough to confront these challenges.

As the six-year-old boy prepared to leave his mother behind, she uttered her first and last words to him: "I wish I had never given birth to you. You are a monster who was never meant to exist." These words were more than just a mother's cruel farewell; they became another curse that branded the boy. The words themselves were inscribed as a mark-like tattoo on his chest, a constant reminder of the rejection and hatred he had endured. The boy's initial days in the kingdom were marked by hardship. Despite being taken in by the first king, Tatsuyoshi Saionji, he was met with indifference and neglect from the kingdom's inhabitants. His training under the king was grueling and demanding, a stark contrast to the neglect he had known before.

Despite the difficult conditions, Rin understood that his only path to acceptance was through this rigorous training. Driven by a deep-seated need to prove his worth and be treated as a human, he embraced the challenges with determination. He believed that becoming strong enough would earn him the respect and acceptance he longed for.

Recognizing his potential and the significance of his journey, the first king gave the boy a name: Rin Saionji. This name not only represented a new beginning but also symbolized the hope that Rin would one day overcome his cursed past and earn his place in the world.

By the time Rin turned twelve, the world was engulfed in rebellion. Rin was stationed in a kingdom ruled by a formidable queen who had been one of the few to accept and treat him with genuine kindness. Rin deeply respected and loved her for her compassion. The queen had four daughters, all around ten years old, who were also dear to Rin. With Rin's assistance, the queen led her kingdom to victory in multiple conflicts, making her realm a powerful fortress that staunchly supported the first kings.

Tragically, betrayal struck when Rin was away from the kingdom. Someone within the queen's own circle orchestrated her downfall, seizing the opportunity to flee with her daughters. When Rin returned and found the queen's decapitated head displayed at the entrance of the castle, his grief and rage overwhelmed him. In his fury, Rin unleashed his beastly side, transforming into a fully grown black dragon. Consumed by wrath, he incinerated the entire kingdom, reducing it to ashes. After the tragic incident that led to the destruction of the kingdom and the loss of the queen, Rin found and saved the four princesses. He sent them to a distant planet called Earth, where humans lived, hoping they would find a new family and live a normal life away from the turmoil. Rin couldn't bring himself to reveal the truth about what had happened, as he blamed himself for the disaster.

Meanwhile, Tatsuyoshi Saionji, influenced by his sons and wife, came to believe that Rin was responsible for the loss of their ally and sent him away. Rin was sent to a kingdom ruled by his own father, where he became a hero by winning multiple wars single-handedly. His strength and achievements eventually caught the attention of the first king, who sought to invite Rin back to his kingdom.

However, Rin's father, upon hearing of this, ordered his entire army to eliminate Rin before he could return to the first king. Rin was devastated to see the very people he had fought alongside now turn against him. In a moment of sheer desperation and anger, Rin evolved and awakened his royal power, obliterating the entire army and killing his own parents and siblings.

After the battle, Rin was left to grapple with the realization that his mother's harsh words might have been true. Overcome by despair and sadness, he began to fall into a cycle of negative emotions. This emotional turmoil triggered a gradual corruption of his powers. As someone with deep loyalty, the overwhelming negativity within him led to further corruption, transforming him into a monster who pursued those with loyal power.

To survive this corruption, Rin made the painful decision to suppress his emotions, becoming increasingly detached and focused solely on his survival. Upon hearing the news of Rin's actions and his subsequent betrayal, the first kings declared him an enemy and stripped him of his title. Cast out and shunned, Rin found himself isolated, his emotions hardened and his past accomplishments forgotten. With no one to understand him or his struggles, Rin chose to retreat into seclusion at the age of thirteen, finding solace in the abandoned kingdom that once belonged to his father.

Two years later, as the threat of the rebellion loomed larger and began dismantling the alliances of the first kings, Kazuhiko Saionji and Ryuzo Djinaz now seventeen embarked on a mission to find Rin. They discovered him living in the empty kingdom, where Rin had managed to regain some control over his emotions and corruption.

Kazuhiko and Ryuzo revealed that the first king had sent them on a mission a year and a half ago to find Rin. The first king had discovered that his own children were complicit in aiding the tribrids and gods in their rebellion. He needed Rin's help for the imminent fight against the rebellion and the tribrids, not out of loyalty, but for the sake of the world.

Rin, however, was resolute in his refusal. He expressed his disdain for the first king, claiming that all he had received from him were wars and manipulation. He felt used rather than cared for, and he argued that the first king had seen him as nothing more than a weapon, not as a human being. Angered by their plea, Rin rejected their request outright, threatening that if they continued to seek his aid, he would turn against the first king himself. Three months later, the final battle began. Tatsuyoshi Saionji and Kenshin Djinaz found themselves surrounded by the gods and the twin tribrids,. As the conflict was about to erupt, Rin arrived on the battlefield, declaring his allegiance to the kings and their cause.

The battle commenced with Rin, Kazuhiko, and Ry?z? engaging the gods, while the kings faced off against the tribrids. Despite their valiant efforts, the kings were ultimately overpowered by the tribrids and consumed by them. Witnessing this, Rin struggled to convince himself that he felt nothing for their deaths.With the kings incapacitated and the tribrids needing time to fully absorb their power, Rin took the opportunity to eliminate all the gods, with his back mark glowing intensely. Amidst the chaos, a man appeared on the battlefield, claiming to be the devil. He revealed that the entire conflict was part of his plan and that the tribrids were his follewers . His ultimate goal was to seize the kings' power and become the sole god.

Rin, driven by his own turmoil and confusion, helped the devil by destroying two kingdoms, turning his back on the kings. However, when the devil confronted Rin, Rin decapitated him before the tribrids could react. As the devil's head hit the ground, Rin's mark began to fade, and he embraced what he perceived as his true nature: a monster devoid of emotion. His hair turned white, signifying his acceptance of his monstrous self.

The battle continued between Rin and the tribrids. Rin managed to force the tribrids to kneel, preparing to end them. However, the devil's stood , now alive, appeared and saved them, revealing that he had survived and was determined to escape. As the tribrids fled the scene, Rin was left standing amidst the devastation, grappling with his role in the chaos and his shifting identity
