Story[]
When the heaven and the earth were still chaotic, there was a species of beast men who had the power of humans and beasts, and their high spiritual power allowed them to change into beast warriors. But when they took over the earth and started wanting to become gods, this enraged the gods, and Zeus sealed them inside a stone monument. Since then, a long period of peace followed for many years, and the gods had forgotten the fight.
One day, the underground world was invaded by unidentified monsters. Athena, the daughter of the leader of the gods, Zeus, led an army to the underworld to help the god Hades, but in the underworld she was captured by a Majin. Zeus discussed with the other gods and they decided that to win, they would need the most ferocious and brave warrior in the world, the beast man. A lightning smashed the stone monument near Zeus's temple, and a man appeared from it.
"Go, beast warrior! Go and rescue my daughter Athena!"
The battle was about to begin.
Changes[]
