Season 1 Storylines

After ending the war caused by “The Great Invasion,” Kyle found himself the winner of a Pyrrhic war. But, thanks to a magical item, known as the Divine Dragon’s Heart, Kyle found himself transported years before the invasion began and has now tasked himself with preventing the death and destruction the Demon King caused.

Noteworthy Information

  • Date (1.1): After rebirth, it is Kyle’s birthday, the 24th day of the 5th month in 2823.
  • Age (1.2): Most of the cast [Kyle and his friends] are around 16

  • Divine Dragon’s Heart (1.1): Found in the Demon King’s throne room, this item, accidentally used by Kyle, allowed him to travel in the past and, based on Seraia’s knowledge, is a legendary item that has been key to the rise of kingdoms like Xarles, and its disappearance, or depletion, is also linked to their downfall.
