Devil's Downfall

Truly great, heavenly defiant, a once in a generation prodigy. He can't tell you how many times he heard those words.

"He is just ten and he's reached the rank of captain."

"How can such a boy be born to the family head?"

"I feel bad for the kid, any other family and he would have a great life. Those gangster Basterds."

It was the same everyone said so much but did so little. until a man came, he was old but not the least bit feeble.

"Boy will you accept this old fool and become his disciple…"

The man held the rank of lord, but if you ask the boy there's only one word you can call him, king. He took him away from the house that only talked. His father strangely enough looked happy to see him gone. The old man had no home, always telling him how much punishment he was going to give his son when he found him. He taught him, he fed him, he trained him. He was strong. The boy never saw him lose, or at least he never lost. One battle and his almighty master fell dead. struck down by Lazaros Antony, to call the battle fare was the height of lunacy. He toyed with his master before finally killing him. All his Master left him was a jade pendant and a little bit of his martial arts.

The United States military is a strong force, with many branches. However it struggles to deal with monster threats within its own borders. They leave it to heroes, mercenaries, town guards, and of course those who hunt monsters the Oxen's Legion otherwise known as the hunters. The hunters are a brutal high paid group who find almost all monsters to be a curse on the earth. They wear the insignia of an ox with a sword and axe being held before it as if to stop anyone from coming closer. Those among the group are always looking for new members, with their size ballooning so big they rival the top five guilds. The thing is, to be a member you must first kill a Goliath rank one monster by yourself, for normal people an impossible task but many are willing to take it on to join their ranks.
