Chapter 0: The Legend of a king

Long before the age of the three tribes, there existed a kingdom like no other, all manner of species lived together in harmony and peace ruled over a by a kind king. Though all was not peaceful forces of darkness sought the kingdom for its treasure and resources and others sought to destroy it simply because they could not stand the species living together.

Though each attack was repelled by the king and his men who fought briefly, it was not the end. The forces continued to come back one by one, and each time the cost of defeating them grew greater and greater.

The king no longer wants to lose any more of his citizen sought out ways to gain the power to protect his people. He sent his brightest alchemists and magicians in search of answers.

Their first breakthrough came when they found legends of the king’s species ancestors who were protected by two different warriors known as Kugga and Agito. While they could not find where either was now, they now knew the form the power they sought would become.

From there they researched other legends of armoured warriors and learned of the Kivat clan a group of bats like creatures told to be able to craft mighty armours which would strengthen the wearer.

The king and his men sought out and eventually found the tribe but learned that none of them would be able to make use of their armour as only a few could survive using it. Though not all was lost as the Kivats made friends with the king and promised to aid him looking for an alternative source of power. The Kivats with their great knowledge helped the king's Alchemist and Magicians attempt to create their own armours.

These efforts where lead by two individuals the mighty alchemist Gara and the noble magician Ebulon. Both worked on different methods of producing the armour. Gara sought to harness the powers of various animals and grant them to the armour user, while Ebulon sought out a group of thirteen beasts of legend in hopes of harnessing their powers into armour. Both succeeded in their duty. Gara created thirteen sets of coins like object which would later be known as core medals which could be used alongside a device he developed called the ooo driver form armour and use the power the medals provided.

Ebulon, on the other hand, created fourteen decks. Thirteen of which were linked to each one of the beasts of legends which would grant an armoured form to the user. Both sets worked miracles with the king taking the ooo driver for him to use in battle while the decks were given to his knights. In time the king and his knights became heroes to all easily fighting off the forces of darkness.

Though like all good things it must come to an end. Gara was consumed by his greeed and sought to use his creations to become a god. He created a second type of medal known as cell medals which he used to form an army of golems to take over the kingdom. He and the king fought against each other. Gara had turned himself into a monster by directly absorbing the core medals into his body one by one.

The king knowing that unless Gara was stopped made the ultimate sacrifice and scanned all the medals at once. This caused a large explosion which reduced Gara to a pile of cell medals and shattered the core medal which had held his mind, and the king was turned into a stone coffin where all the core medals were sucked in and sealed inside.Though the kingdom was restored, it was destined to fall as without the king the various species grew more hostile and the kingdom was divided, and the species went on their separate ways.

Ebulon and the reaming knights knowing that there was nothing they could do so each was sealed in the advent void to sleep until they were once again needed, with the king’s coffin sealed in a tomb which could only be open up by one who had a pure heart and needed help. And thus the legend of the first ooos ends and soon his heir shall rise.
