Summary
The story is set in a fantasy modern world where many Secret Society clans called Beast Nefilims. These angelic like beings can possess and manipulate classical elements from mythical spirits: The Divine Beasts. Each of them is designated to their respective country, and the Raiju clan is the story's primary focus, which takes place in Japan. The plot follows four main characters: Keisuke Mark (Keiran or Kei) and his brother Jinsuke (or Jayson), Isshin Okabe, and Junko Morikawa. An unlikely alliance at first, they all shared the same bloodline of Raiju. They must be willing to work together to unravel the mysteries of the Raiju Nefilims and prepare themselves for the greater threat known to humanity.
Nefilims
The Beast Nefilims are Angelic-like Meta Humans spiritually connected to the Divine Beasts. They have enhanced strength, agility, speed, durability, reflexes, and boost senses. As well as slower aging, they can understand and speak various languages and manipulate any element using their Ki, depending on the Beasts they're born with. Many millennia ago, the Divine Beast, chose very few humans worldwide to become their successors and hold off on the Majins, running amok throughout history. They were formed into secret clans throughout many regions, each sharing the same objective for over 2,000 years. During their missions, The Nefilims were set out with one rule, never engage in human conflicts by any means necessary. This includes wars that only humans have to resolve themselves. However, after the events of World War II, fewer countries (Most notably North America) witnessed the Nefilims battling the Majins but saw the Nefilims as a threat to humanity. So, the world leaders order the Nefilims around the globe to cease operations to keep the Djins at bay or be incarcerated for eternity. As time passes, the Nefilims live among the human population. Some are trained in secret, while others have little to no knowledge of what they are. But now, a new generation will have to break out of hiding to stop history from repeating itself with the latest threat on arrival.
