Series Synopsis

In the chronicles of Hao Ran, the world is divided into three realms. The first realm known as Gran is a floating paradise where Gods reside. The second realm known as Coldstaire is the abyss where the wicked are viciously punished by the beast of destruction. The third realm known as Hao Ran is named after the supreme God of all of Gran. Hao Ran is where spirits are merged with their physical vessels and act as the energy source that keeps the realm of Gran amongst the clouds. Heresy in Hao Ran continues to increase at a dramatic rate. With faith as the guiding force of the energy flow, belief in false Gods is not only considered blasphemous but a waste of valuable resources as well. With the sudden decrease of spiritual energy, Gran slowly descends. The Gods are concerned of the world shattering into oblivion should Gran and Hao Ran collide. With the impending danger ahead, the seven houses of Gran decide to assign a new herald to end this threat.

Episode 1



Kraust submits to various trials set forth by the Gods to attain seals that grant him the title, Herald of Gran. After successfully acquiring the approval of Nikomedes, Ayonix, Merkarius and Selenia, Kraust is now set to freefall back to the world of Hao Ran and fulfill his providence.

Episode 2

Kraust freefalls right smack dab into another test courtesy of Nikomedes. His task is to overcome Keon Rizaldus, the fifth herald of Gran. After surviving the fight with Keon, Kraust breathes a sigh of relief only to witness his sheath entity being shot.
