Those waters were once ruled by the Sea-Folk, a race of ocean dwellers with beautiful tail fins.

The Sea-Folk are called merfolk by humans. Since ancient times, they have had royalty in each of the seven seas, building coral palaces and pearl cities, and nurturing a civilization alongside the ocean currents and the sea's bounty.

However, that peace was not eternal.

Deep in the ocean's depths, another race existed, distinct from the Sea-Folk.

The Beast-Folk

They are a race possessing the characteristics of various marine creatures, such as sharks, orcas, barracudas, and moray eels. They are ferocious with strong wild instincts.

Possessing physical abilities and sharp instincts far superior to the Sea-Folk, they built a unique culture that values the pack and territory.

To leave behind many descendants, they evolved bodies capable of reproduction between males. Similar evolution has been confirmed in the Sea-Folk.

For a long time, the Sea-Folk and Beast-Folk kept their distance from one another.

But in recent years, the power of the Beast-Folk has expanded rapidly.

Conflicts broke out across the Seven Seas, and the rule of the Sea-Folk royalty gradually crumbled.

And now

The waters that still hold traces of the former kingdoms are being conquered one after another by the Beast-Folk.

The Sea-Folk have lost their thrones and are forced to live within the territories of the Beast-Folk.

For the Sea-Folk, it was the end of the long-lasting "Era of Kings."

However, the Sea-Folk were not purely innocent victims.

There were mistakes made in the past that should never have happened.

North Atlantic

The situation is particularly unstable in the North Atlantic.

The Sea-Folk royal family that once ruled the North Atlantic has already lost its power, and the waters are currently dominated by the Great White Shark Beast-Folk.

The one who stands at the pinnacle

Nezek

🦈A massive, powerful body with the characteristics of a ferocious great white shark🦈

Few in the sea can rival him, and his name alone is enough to strike fear into many Sea-Folk.

Nezek has united the Beast-Folk of the North Atlantic and rules over a vast territory.

Many Sea-Folk have been placed under their control, forced into coral mining, pearl harvesting, and the maintenance of undersea cities.

In the midst of this, a distant relative of the royal family, Guest, is captured.

"Don't kill it. This one has a use."

The shark ruler sarcastically claims they are "worth capturing" and decides to let Guest live.
