Do you have what it takes to become a god?...

Since the world began, there have been those who watch over it, those who protect the path that man has carved for itself. These beings of immense power are known as gods. They protect the peace, working together in harmony to ensure the future. However, every few millennium to ensure those entrusted with such power and responsibility remain level headed and clear, they step down, passing on the their role to an heir. These heirs are chosen from their lives on earth. After they pass, they are given the choice of continuing on to the afterlife, or taking on the challenge of reaching a status above that of mere humans and spirits. To become a god, these gods in training are given a fraction of the god they choose to attempt replacing’s power. This is to prove that they can handle it, as well as wield it responsibly. From there, they will train and study hard under their god, to become familiar with their position and responsibilities. During the last year before the ceremony of passing on the role of a god to a god in training, these gods in training must face their toughest challenge. The world they once called home…earth. A god in training must spend a year on earth, using their new influence and status to prove they can handle actually doing the work. The real gods are not allowed to influence this time or help, so the gods in training are on their own.

In the world of the living however, they still resemble ghosts. They are unable to be seen, heard or physically influence anything. In order to establish a hold within the living world, a god in training must first make a contract with a human. This human in turn becomes their link to the world of the living. The god in training is then able to be seen and heard by their human contract, and all other human contracts on earth, or those who have been given special sight. They are also able to then physically influence the world by their choice. The humans who contract with these gods in training become important, gaining some power of their own. Besides being able to see the gods in training, spirits and other supernatural things beyond their world now, they are able to summon their god in training at will, and command them in a sense, sort of like a genie. Once a contract has been made, the god in training is unable to break it or change it. However, at any time, the human can break it. If they do, the god in training is sent back to the world of the afterlife, losing their standing in the race to replace their god. At any time, if the human tells any who are not a contracted human or one with special sight about the god in training, the contract is broken. They will return to the world of afterlife and lose their standing as well. If a contract is broken, or at the year’s end, all memory of the gods in training ever being on earth will be erased.

Meaning, the humans will forget and go back to their normal lives. A god in training is influenced by their contracted human’s heart as well. A strong willed and hearted contract will result in the god in training having a strong influence on earth, and their power being stronger. Vice versa, a weak heart and will will result in the opposite. They are also influenced by the standing of their contracted human. If their contracted human is a follower of light, or corrupted by darkness will begin to turn and sway the god in training. They become linked and bonded within this contract, so the influence both ways is strong. If the contracted human they are using as their anchor is killed, it is the same as the contract being broken, so the gods in training have to protect their human. These things make their time on earth difficult, but the worse is the threat of the Kaiju. Beings of darkness, also known as demons. They are believed to be from the underworld, a realm of darkness. They hold a standing similar to the gods in training who have made a contract with humans. They can choose to be seen or not, heard or not and influence the physical world or not. Their presence has a natural darkening and corrupting ability to the world and people around them. They seek to gain enough power to get into the world of the gods, and destroy them, taking over and plunging the world into total everlasting darkness. To do so, they attack the gods in training, killing them to absorb their souls and in turn their power, strengthening their own.

In order to do this, they know a surefire way of bringing them out, is to attack their contracted human. Learning the ropes, protecting people and protecting themselves become the path for these gods in training to reach their goal, and reach the heavens.
