On the night when the age of mythology ended, the rat "Jin" swallowed the power of the falling disaster.

While the demon kings were fighting for the broken godhead, this inconspicuous rat demon quietly weaved a web——

A little greenery spreads on the tips of the claws, and the dead bonsai sprouts new buds.
