Prolog
Since ancient times everything has been normal. But 800 years later in the mid-19th century everything began to change. I don't know what caused it but suddenly there were creatures with creepy appearances. They ran rampant. Killing innocent citizens like wild animals. Until finally people at that time called it [Demon]. At first it could only be counted with one hand but over time the number grew until it could not be counted accurately. Since then, every time the sun began to set, all the doors of the house were locked tightly. Children who were playing were dragged by their parents to go home.
Unfortunately, they can evolve. Originally they only attacked at night. But there are attacks during the day as well. This is proof that they evolved. Causing humans to start venturing out but still not having the tools to fight back.

Over time, there were some people who could no longer live in hiding. He was the first to notice other oddities because it happened to him. The other strangeness is that people who are usually normal suddenly have other gifts. Each person only has 1 gift or can be called [Gift]. But what is more rare is the owner of [Double Gift]. One is purely his own since he was born. And the other one is due to inheritance from parents or ancestors.
With that knowledge, he sought out the other owners of the Gift. Fighting Demons so that they wouldn't have to live in fear at sunset. Their numbers grew and grew until they were like an organization.
They named themselves DSO or [Demon Slayer Order]. An organization in charge of capturing, sealing, killing and eliminating the existence of a demon. Currently, the DSO is centered in Mungdong City.
Mungdong City itself is the oldest city in the Taewang continent. It is also where the Demons first appeared. There are many buildings with ancient interiors here. With majestic buildings of mixed architecture between ancient and present. Tall twin doors and tall windows. The mystical atmosphere in this city feels very thick. Likewise with the aura of the Demons hiding in this city. Mingling among humans and acting like humans. Either they want to kill or they have other plans. DSO first stood here. The first person to recognize the other oddities and the founder of the DSO was Xu Zexian. His gift was the key to how the Demons could be sealed and destroyed. However, many of his descendants did not inherit this Gift. This proves that this Gift is only specific to one person.
There are rare cases where one person has two Gifts. There are special conditions that cause a person to have two Gifts. The first condition was that his Gift was not the attacking type. While the other condition is that their body is weaker. Weak in the sense that they are easily sick and easily injured. Both mentally and physically.
At this time it was recorded in the [Gift Record] that there were only 3 people who turned out to be Double Gifts. But it appears that there are only 3 people. It was not explained what their names were and what powers they had. This is a good thing because it can protect them from people who have evil intentions.
Especially from third parties. Although it was only a rumor, it was quite unsettling. The third party is a party that does not take sides with humans and Demons. Instead, they work together with a specific purpose. It is still unclear what purpose but whatever it is sounds bad.
Other rumors also sounded confusing. Some said the leader of the Demons was looking for something. [Demon Emperor] was what the upper level Demons called him. Only the top-level Demons or those who are hundreds or even thousands of years old can speak. The rest are just wild actions that are no different from wild animals.
They can even change their appearance to look like humans. But of course, they are not perfect because they are not human by nature. Their identity can be revealed only if they come into contact with a sacred artifact. But since the sacred artifact had still not been found, there was an alternative way. The Demon's aura was noticeably hotter. In accordance with its origin from hell. Then if their original form is an animal then there is one part that will remain even if they turn into humans. Demons with even higher levels were able to change their appearance to become human-like. No part of their original form is visible. But from the aura alone they are still felt. For hunters, this is an easy thing to distinguish.
Then, what about ordinary people? You can see it in their blood. If humans have red blood and smell fishy then Demons have black blood and smell rotten. It's different from the holy white blood of angels. The blood of angels is able to injure and kill demons with just a drop. It also smells nice. Everyone has their own preferences. So, this fragrance is different for everyone.
It was said that the Demon Emperor was looking for a sacred artifact. The only sacred artifacts in [Legend of the Sacred Artifacts] are those 13 artifacts. 13 sacred objects that can change the structure of the world. A place where a large number of Demons roam around usually indicates that something is there. Only the demons could feel the difference because this something was the opposite of those dirty sinful sacred objects.
But there are still many mysteries behind the appearance of demons. What causes them to appear? What is their reason? Then, what is their purpose? Could it be that someone is commanding and controlling the Demons? What is the Demon Emperor really looking for?
There was another rumor circulating that there was something behind all this. The rumor of a giant-sized Demon is still hidden. It was thought that this Demon was their supreme leader. Above the Demon Emperor. But, nothing is certain yet.
Starting from the appearance of the Demons. Followed by people who suddenly have supernatural powers. 13 sacred artifacts that have nothing to do with all this. Then, the object or person the Demon Emperor is looking for. Everything has an attachment to each other. There is a big conspiracy behind it all. A conspiracy that involves the world because the 13 sacred artifacts are also linked. The strangest thing of all is that the DSO is the place that gets the information the latest.
There was a traitor among them. Someone intercepted the information that should have been sent to them. Leaving them to trust only their own team. Superiors, subordinates and colleagues began to lose trust in each other.
However, one thing is certain...
