In the year 2111, two brilliant scientists, Akia Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanaka, made a groundbreaking discovery. They found a mysterious rectangular piece with the words "the one that creates" on one side and "the one that destroys" on the other. After years of research and experimentation, they found out that the piece had the power to create or erase anything. Their discovery led them to create a machine called Genesis, which was a marvel of technology and engineering. It had the power to create anything the human mind could imagine and destroy anything too.
The machine was made up of several components, but the most mysterious piece was the rectangular piece that glowed with an otherworldly energy. It looked like it was from the heavens. When the machine was completed, the world rejoiced. On the day of the celebration of their achievements, something went terribly wrong. Genesis malfunctioned, and a tremendous explosion almost blew off half of the world. At the time of the explosion, the Genesis poured out its energy and filled the entire earth.
The ones who were directly hit with the shattered pieces of the mysterious object were Ryu Tomoi and Souzan, the sons of Akina and Hiroshi, who were best friends. Ryu was hit by the piece, and it engraved a symbol on his back that read "The one that destroys," while Souzan had "The one that creates" on his back. The power of the mysterious cube spread into the atmosphere, giving different powers to living beings, and allowing them to create things that were only heard of in mythologies, increasing the dangers in the world which was already unstable.
After the explosion, Ryu and Souzan looked at the destruction before their eyes. Ryu asked, "Brother Souzan, what did we do wrong? Our fathers only wanted the world to be at peace." Tears rolled down his cheeks as he spoke. Souzan replied, "They did nothing wrong. Don't cry," and he hugged his brother. Ryu then asked, "Can we bring everything back if we try?" Souzan replied, "Yes, yes we can. We can bring everything back to its original state." Ryu asked, "But how?" Souzan replied, "Because we were chosen by fate. The writing on our back symbolizes that we have to be the ones to revert everything back." Ryu asked, "Will we be able to do it alone?" Souzan replied, "No, we have to find comrades. We are going to create a clan!"
Ryu then suggested, "How about Veritas? How does it sound?" Souzan agreed, "It's a beautiful name." Ryu then said, "And if I am the destroyer, then I will be Hakai, and you be Souzan, the creator." Souzan remarked, "You are pretty bright, aren't you?" Ryu replied, "We have to get stronger, brother. We are going to face many enemies on our way." Souzan agreed, "You are right, brother. In our current form, we can't even defeat a fly. Let's get out!" So, Souzan and Ryu left the place, which had become hell, and they were on their way to create heaven.

As they emerged from their long imprisonment, the two figures looked around at their surroundings. The world had changed significantly since they had last walked the earth, but their desires remained the same - to regain their powers and rule over all.
"Hmmm, it's been so long since we were trapped in that stupid box," remarked the first figure, a hint of nostalgia in their voice.
The second figure nodded in agreement. "Yes, but we must focus on the present. Our powers are weakened, and we must find a way to restore them."
As they discussed their plans, their attentiongot to ryu and souzou.
"What about these two? What should we do with them?" asked one of the figures.
"Just leave them for now," replied the other figure dismissively. "They are of no use to us at the moment."
Three years after the world was destroyed
Veritas City had been reduced to a desolate wasteland. But with the tireless efforts of Souzou, Ryu, and their comrades, the city had been restored to its former glory.
"How's the machine going?" Souzou asked Ryu.
"It's done," Ryu replied. "After some work, it will be able to generate electricity for the entire clan."
"So, Veritas City will be back to its former glory?" Souzou inquired.
"Yes, but brother, why did you tell me to do this? If it were you, you would have done it quicker. Are you leaving?" Ryu asked.
"You are quick to catch on, Hakai," Souzou said, turning to his co-leader.
"But why brother? What will we do without you?" Hakai asked, concern etched on his face.
"We are not kids anymore, Hakai," Souzou said with a smile. "I want to get behind the truth about these Writings."
"If you want to go, you can. But what should I do in the meantime?" Hakai asked.
Souzou's smile grew wider as he replied, "You are the destroyer, create an army that can withstand hell and conquer heaven."
"When will you return, Leader?" Hakai asked.
"I don't know, but I hope to return soon," Souzou replied.
Just then, they heard footsteps approaching. "Leader and co-leader Hakai, we have new recruits," a voice called out.
"How many?" Hakai asked.
"Twenty, and they have the potential to become very strong," the voice replied.
"Does anyone have Genesis Style or Oblivion Arts?" Ryu asked.
"No, sir, no one has it," the voice replied.
"Oh well," Ryu sighed.
"But two of them have Resurrection Style and Fabric Overhaul Mastery," the voice added.
Hakai and Souzou looked at each other in shock.
"Are you sure, Raizen? I don't want wrong information," Souzou said.
"Sir, I am positive. I have seen it with my own eyes," Raizen replied.
"Hakai, I will leave them in your care," Souzou said.
"I understand, Leader," Hakai replied.
"Let's see if they have the potential and announce my leave," Souzou said, and they left to see the clan members.
As they made their way to the center of the Veritas City, which had once been a bustling metropolis, the clan members gathered around them. Souzou climbed onto the stage, looking out at the crowd. He could see the determination and hope in their eyes, and it filled him with pride.
