A meteor from a distant star lit the long-dormant war between humans and tree demons, a conflict that had been quiet for decades. For both humankind and the tree demons, this war was inevitable, and its ultimate victor had long been decided. But rather than wait for that final moment, humanity would rather meet its end in a blaze of glory. From beginning to end, the greatest threat to the tree demons had always been Mother Earth. As time passed, Mother Earth could no longer threaten the Demon Tree, and all she could do was place her hopes in the boy inside the meteor. She firmly believed that his arrival would help people find hope again.
