To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts

In a continent once unified under the democratic nation of Patria, deep economic divides ultimately led to a brutal civil war that split the country into two factions: the Northern Union of Patria and the Southern Confederation of Patria. These opposing sides fought fiercely over control and resources, their conflict stretching on for years, devastating the land and its people. The division tore at the fabric of the nation, leaving both North and South locked in a destructive struggle for dominance.

As the protracted war drained manpower and resources from the Northern Union, they resorted to using forbidden technology to gain an advantage against their southern adversaries. This controversial method involved transforming human soldiers into monstrous beings endowed with nearly godlike abilities. These augmented warriors possessed immense strength and resilience, turning the tide of battle in favor of the North. However, such power came with grave consequences, raising ethical concerns and leaving scars on those who bore these monstrous forms.

Ultimately, the deployment of these transformed soldiers brought an end to the decades-long conflict, leading to a fragile peace across Patria. Yet, the aftermath of the war left questions about the cost of victory and the haunting legacy of those who became sacred beasts for their nation. The series delves into themes of war, sacrifice, and humanity as it follows the struggles of these altered warriors grappling with their identities and the consequences of the powers they wielded.
