Story
As the tale goes, souls of all mortal beings need a place to be born again. This place is known as the Somberness World ruled by the Dark Queen. In fact, the Somberness World is the location of the five hells and is guarded by Element Beasts into which ribs were transfigured by Titans.

In early days when the whole universe was just created, in order to win the definite control of Somberness World, the five Element Beasts talked the Dark Queen into rising against Gaia. In a bloody battle, a destructive explosion caused the Life Tree at the world’s center to die. The Titans sealed these five Element Beasts into the five stones. As punishment, they tied the Dark Queen to the Icy Stone beside the dead Life Tree to cause her great suffering for 50000 years.
