Synopsis
Long before the rise of magic knights and kingdoms, a divine being of boundless strength defied the heavens. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the celestial Monkey King was sealed within an enchanted stone—hidden deep in the overgrown ruins of a forgotten land. His name was lost to time... but his power was not. Centuries later, while investigating a strange magical disturbance in an abandoned jungle temple, Captain Yami Sukehiro of the Black Bulls stumbles upon something—or rather, someone—unexpected: a ten-year-old boy, fast asleep inside a cracked boulder, with a golden headband, monkey-like ears, and a tail swaying in the air. Awakening with no memory of who he is, the boy radiates an ancient, chaotic magic unlike anything Yami’s ever seen. With his sharp tongue and wild energy, the kid is more trouble than treasure—but something about him feels special. So Yami, with his usual blunt flair, shrugs and names him Saru. “You look like a monkey. That’ll do.” Now part of the misfit Black Bulls, Saru begins to forge a new identity. But fragments of his divine past start to surface—strange dreams, uncontrollable bursts of power, and whispers of celestial prisons and immortal wars. As danger stirs and hidden relics awaken, Saru must uncover the truth of who he was… and decide who he wants to become. Because in a world ruled by grimoires, magic knights, and fate itself—can a monkey once bound by gods become a hero born of choice?

Chapter 1 - Prologue: The Stone-Born Legend

Long ago, before the Clover Kingdom entered its modern era—when devils, dragons, and spirits roamed the land freely—there existed a celestial being known only as the Monkey Sage.

It is said he was born not of man or magic, but from a sacred stone atop the legendary Cloud-Piercer Peak, a place where even the heavens bowed to the earth.

Blessed with divine strength and a mind sharper than the finest enchanted blades, the Monkey Sage was a being of chaos and brilliance—equal parts trickster and warrior, guardian and menace.

He rebelled against the ancient gods who dictated the balance of the world. Witnessing the suffering of mortals caught between divine tyranny and devilish cruelty, he rose to defy them all.

Determined to free humanity from the chains of both heaven and hell, the Monkey Sage waged a one-being war across the realms. But in the end, he was betrayed—by angels who feared his chaos, and by demons who envied his strength.

Caught between two worlds that refused to accept him, the gods deemed his existence too dangerous to be left unchecked. Rather than seal him, they chose to erase him entirely.

But fate had other plans.

A fragment of his essence slipped through the heavens' judgment, falling like a dying star. It was sealed within a mythic stone, hidden deep in the heart of the Forsaken Region—protected by ancient enchantments and buried in the silence of time.

And so, the Monkey Sage faded from history…

Becoming a myth.

And then, a forgotten legend.
