About

On this Earth, and indeed on every planet in the universe, there exists a dragon vein known as Artana. This dragon vein serves as the source of all energy, and thanks to it, planets other than Earth have created flying ships and various modernized weapons. However, the humans living on Earth consider this dragon vein sacred, and whenever it goes berserk, they have a shrine maiden quell it. Then one day, during the Heian period in Japan, a life that made sounds like a baby was born from one of the dragon veins in a rural village. It looked exactly like a human child. However, people regarded this being as ominous and tormented it. A human possessing the dragon vein would regenerate immediately even if wounded or severely injured. Seeing this, people trembled in fear and burned it alive or tortured it. This was when the being was six years old. Eventually, at an age appearing to be in his early twenties, he was imprisoned in a wooden cage deep within a cave. Several years passed. To survive, he split his ego into pieces. When the lock rotted and fell away, he dominated the world for the first time in ages and massacred the humans he so hated. He drew his sword, stabbed, and slashed, eventually being captured by the Shogunate, but for some reason, the Shogun spared him and created the assassination organization Naraku, making him its leader.
