After months of wandering, they found refuge with their aunt, Vanessa the Resilient. Under her care, they finally experienced a loving home and lived in peace for over a decade.
That peace ended when the manor was attacked again—this time by a powerful archdemoness. vannessas homw was destroyed, the siblings were separated, and Vanessa was killed protecting Vermilion. Her final words—“Protect your brother… and be a hero”—became his guiding purpose.
Vermilion survived, but an powerful archdemon cursed him—twisting his body into a demonic form. Now resembling the very creatures he was raised to hunt, he became an outcast, hunted by both demons and demon hunters alike.
After years on the run, he was taken in by Father Kori, a former soldier turned priest. Under Kori’s guidance, Vermilion trained as a paladin and found a new path.
