Salt Lake City. It’s where it all began.

The city Todd grew up in wasn’t just corrupt—it was unholy. Something rotten had settled into its foundations long before anyone noticed, seeping into alleyways, neighborhoods, and the people who lived there. What appeared to be a functioning city on the surface concealed something festering beneath it.

The city kept secrets. The kind that never made it past police reports or late-night whispers. Long before Todd became a lethal Devil hunter, women, children, and men vanished without explanation. Files were opened, then quietly closed. Evidence disappeared. Witnesses were dismissed, silenced, or labeled unstable.

Disappearances weren’t the worst of it.

Unexplainable killings followed—bodies found mutilated or drained, crime scenes untouched by fingerprints or DNA. No forced entry. No suspects. No killer. Authorities blamed coincidence, mental breaks, or natural causes—anything that could keep the truth buried. Every explanation felt rehearsed.

Some people talked anyway. They spoke of figures lurking where streetlights failed, shapes that moved wrong, faces that didn’t belong to anything human. Most were ignored. Others were institutionalized. A few simply vanished.

Long ago—over five hundred years past—there was a legend few dared to repeat. A holy war was waged between Hell and the Supreme Cathedrals, a conflict so devastating it threatened to tear the veil between realms apart. The war ended not with victory, but with silence. The truth was sealed away, buried beneath scripture, stone, and blood, and the world was forced to forget.

Until Todd.

Everything changed the moment Hell took notice of his existence. What had been dormant stirred violently. Old seals weakened. Ancient forces moved faster than they had in centuries.

Once Todd was discovered, his life—and everything connected to it—collapsed. The veil was torn back, and the war that had once been myth began its return.

The devils despised him. Not out of fear, but hatred. He was a blasphemy in their eyes—a product of demon and human blood. A union that should never have been possible.
