Game Description
In the beginning, there was a void. Out of that void, five gods exercised their unique powers to create the world, and there was harmony. But darkness grew in the hearts of mankind, and out of that darkness came the demons, with their own uses of the powers of the gods. They began a battle which raged through the heavens and across the face of the Earth, while mankind watched and trembled as the giants with unending power clashed around them.

Play the game that started it all!
