Prelude
7 years had passed since the last battle to determine the King for Mamodou world. As the new king Zatch and his queen Tio is about to claim their throne, a group of rebels lead by a mamodou named Djanna steals the Royal Crown's crystal, an essence of absoulute power of a demon king. Alhough Djanna had been captured and his group scattered, it turns out that he already sent the Crown's Crystal to human world via his vessel, which remains unknown until his death.
No matter what, the crystal must be acquired back, as it holds the very power of demon's world. However, opening a portal between two worlds is difficult without the crystal. Another 10 years passed until the new portal opened, and this mission is given to seven selected knights. However, they don't just realized who trailed them behind...

Chapter 1: The Call
Sometimes Li-Jing would love to curse the morning sun. He deserves a good sleep as much as possible and he hates when his utopia is disturbed.
He looked at the window, and wonder, why today is so bright when his heart is all clouded. Farah was such a good girl until she dumped him just the night before. No, he will never consider that type of girl who went out with him just to gain popularity as 'good'. Just yesterday night he found out about Farah's true personality and he swears never go out with another blonde like her again.
His heart still ache because of her betrayal, and now he consider to retreat to his great-grandparent's field in China. A change in atmosphere might soothe his heartache. Just after he finished packing his things, his mother called.
"Dear, are you all right?"
"Yeah Ma, I just wanted to take a break. After all, I don't want to spend my summer vacation all alone here in LA."
"Well, just let you know that I have some urgent business in Hong Kong. So you might not see me when you get home for about 2 weeks or so. I'll try to finish earlier, but in case I don't please help your grandparents on their field, Ok?"
"Sure, no problem with me. But Ma, you're doing your father's business again? I thought you hate them."
"Can't help it honey. No matter what your grandfather's organization is also protecting Hong Kong and the lives of people there. I can't just sit down and watch when a gangster war is about to erupt there. You don't have to worry, nothing is life-threatening for a dinner between two greatest mob-bosses and their heirs, right? Besides, if anything ever got worse, I have a full pack of bodyguards that almost as strong as myself."
"Hahaha. You are the toughest woman I've ever known Ma, no one is stronger than you. Well then, have a save journey. I'll see you in 2 weeks. Love you, bye"
"Love you too Dear. See you in China"
Being a smart fella as he, Li-Jing knows exactly what her mother referring to 'dinner'. Between mob-bosses and their heir and heiress, it means one thing: engagement. Li-Jing knows that his mother has no other choice. Hong Kong situation is getting worse each time, the government has collapsed and now the mobs are ruling the country. Added with the rising of a new White Snake group that has grown enormously in just few years, the power map in Hong Kong is greatly shocked and signaling for the danger of war.
The only way to prevent things happening is the unification between two legendary groups: Blue Dragon of Li Akron and Red Phoenix of Sennin. His mother would sacrifice herself for the sake of people, and yet, he can't help but to feel regret.
'What if I never leave my mother, if I helped her earlier... If she tells me sooner about who she really is...'
He might be able to avoid having a blonde, narciss, dumb, arrogant, half-blood Wales as his stepfather. At least they haven't talk about the marriage yet, but it's just about time until those things happens.
Satisfied with cursing Wales, he now started cursing his father. A man whom he never met, a man who leave his wife and unborn child to go off some war and never come back, a man whom his mother loved so dearly, a man who make them to go trough all these suffering, a man who share the same face as he is, a man named Wonlei... Whom he'll never forgive.

Chapter 2: The Other Side of the World
Brago grunted at the letter that he just received from the royal family. He was selected as one of Seven Knight along with Kiddo, Wonlei, Schneider (Umagon or Ponygon in US), Kanchome, Penny, and an unknown mamodo named Djinn. Now he wonders whether Zatch holds grudge towards him or what. Now after he asks him to play as a ridiculous hero knight, there might be another task for him playing as 'princess' in children's drama. He knows this seven knights idea must have come from Tio. That romantic, silly queen had sent him a mission scroll scented with flower. Begonia to be exact, Brago knows this as he had to endure the same smell in Sherry's room.
Sherry... All these years she always filled his mind. He used to think that when he returns to demon world he could easily erase her from his mind. Now he knows how terribly mistaken he was. The image of a particular night always haunted him in sleep, the night when they exchange their love and ‘things' after that. He was a teenager back then. Now he is all matured, all grown up. Yet his heart remains the same.
Nevertheless, the thought of being able to meet her again is enough motivation to accept this offer, he is sure that most other candidates think that way too. Given Wonlei also has a lover in human world and Kiddo, Schneider, and Kanchome desperately missed their masters. He is not sure about Penny, but the new mamodo is still a mystery.
The ceremony is held on a field near Zatch's Castle, in which the portal is about to be opened. Thousands of demons had worked so hard in opening the portal, as without the Crown's Crystal, opening a cross-dimensional portal is nearly impossible. As he walked into the field, he realized that there are many faces that he recognized. All 100 ex-candidates are here! Along with all ancient mamodos. It seemed that Zatch wants to make this event well recognized in history, therefore he invites almost all demons from all over. Not that he's afraid of being with crowds. Even though all this time he lives in solitude, he do recognized some changes from all this years of separation.
Kiddo has grown-up and become a man, a scholar, a doctor. It seems that he prepared himself for meeting with his Professor Riddle. Well, at least being a doctor has made him popular with women as well as his nurses who tailed him from behind.
Schneider is no longer ponny-like, he is now a beautiful horse with soft golden hair. Wait, horse? Maybe a Unicorn would fit, as his horns has grown too. Unfortunately, he is still cannot speak properly, which makes him so silly.
Kanchome reminds him about a human story of an ugly little duck that turns out to be a swan, he is really swan looking now. As his feather turned white, and his face is...swan. Personality speaking, he really loves Folgore, and try to acts like him by flirting with women. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the looks as Folgore's. No wonder that most women would dumped him even as he started walking towards them.
Penny now finally becomes a pretty woman, but her personality remains the same with a bit of added grace. Her hair grows longer and loose. More importantly, it looks she already give up with Zatch. Seeing the way she prepare herself, it seems that she is more in for getting a human boyfriend rather than playing her knight role.
As for Wonlei, he knows that mamodou would stop aging at certain age, Wonlei's surely had his growth-time extended as now he looks like a 35 year-old gentleman with every quality of a mature man would have. Even if Brago knows that he is much stronger than Wonlei, he is still one of few people that Brago respects in his life. Being the oldest of the group, Brago knows that he is also the wisest and the most mature. Even Brago respect this particular quality and charm that comes from the older man.
As Zatch is about to start the ceremony, the last knight arrived. To everyone's surprises, this mamodo is stunningly beautiful. He was not sure about the gender, but as this mamodo began to introduce himself to others, a hoarse voice come from him. He is a male.

Chapter 3: Return
"It seems that I am the only one who haven’t introduce myself, so I’ll start with my name then. I am Djinn, I am capable of manipulating illusion, and I hope this power can help us later. And it seems that I am the only one who isn’t one of the last 100 candidates of King, so I would look forward for your guidance in the human world.” Finishing his short introduction, he gave a warm smile to Penny, whose mouth open like a fish on her amazement. This Djinn is surely a lady-killer, seeing Penny’s reaction and Kiddo’s nurses’ blushing cheeks.
Even Brago recognized his beauty. His long silver hair, silver eyes, and his perfect figure attract everyone’s attention to this young-looking mamodo. From his looks, one could mistaken his age as early twenty, but Brago knows that he is much more older than his looks. Probably older than Wonlei.
Wonlei is the one who started speaking to him: “Djinn, I’ve heard your name before. You’re Princess Vio’s guardian, aren’t you? I also heard that you’re one of the royal mentor of the new bureaucrats. Why you’re here?”
“My reason is, as the Princess is grows older. We can no longer treat her as a child. She is now 6 years old, and Queen Tio wants her to start her real education as a lady and the successor of the throne. If I still with her, she would still become my crybaby. I cannot let her like that for any reason, which is why I gave up my job as her guardian and applying for this mission. I also interested with the other side’s culture and lifestyle, and I had always looking forward for a chance of going to another world like this. It is very unfortunate that last time I have already too old for become one of 100 candidates.”
Penny, a little surprised, asked him: “Too old? How much older? I mean, how old are you?”
“No less than 500 year old starting tomorrow.”
Finishing their short conversation, the voice of trumpets is echoing the large hallway. The royal family, Zatch and Tio, are coming facing their people, and the ceremony is started.
After Zatch finished his speech, thousands of demons already gathered in the castle’s field. Following the given signal, all of them start chanting vigorously, focusing their energy to a single mark in the middle of the field. As their chants get lauder, a hole appeared from the mark. The same hole that Brago had went through 15 years ago. Finally, after years of waiting, the gate of dimension now once again opened.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Driving along highway, Sherry Belmont is secretly cherishing for her companion’s misdeed 2 hours before. To defend her mother, Luna Belmont had used her demonic power and sent one of her mother’s senior executive to nearby hospital due to heart (near) failure. Sherry is actually happy that her daughter was defending her, but as a good mother, she must punish her daughter’s misdeed, no matter what.
After all, this is for her own sake
“Luna, you do remember about my saying to not using your demonic-power, don’t you?” asked Sherry to a pretty young lady in passenger seat beside her.
“I can’t help it, Mother. That Old-fatso was slandering you! I am sure he has some kind of conspiracy with your research division. Or else, he will not get those oddly-and obviously modified data about our market reaction.”
“Well, other directors don’t mind it anyway. Our product’s sale is rocketing this spring, and Mr. Prank was already too old for your jokes of eliminating most of his weight. Even if I allow you to use your power secretly to lift items, I forbid you to use it on people.”
“Well, an act of self-defense is allowed, right? That’s what I was doing that time, defending my mother!”
“Thank you, but that was unnecessary as I can defend myself against the likes of him. As for your punishment, for the next 4 months, I forbid you to use your power for any reason. It is time for you to learn to not depending on your power anymore. Starting tomorrow, you’ll lift your own luggage without your gravity power. I’ll place on your demonic seal tonight.”
“Eeekk!!! But my luggage are heavy! We will stay in Hong Kong for more than 2 weeks, I will need more clothes to wear!”
“Don’t be spoiled. I can lift mine, and you are gifted with power that exceed most human, you won’t need any gravity power to help you lift your own luggage. More complains, and I will extend the time period.”
“Fine! I’ll follow your rules. I’ll free after 4 months, right?
“Just don’t do it again, or else I will have to remove your power completely. Got it?
“Yeah….”
Just act nice, she won’t know if I break the promise anyway. She doesn’t know that I already prepare a counter spell against her seals.
“And I already asked Li Yen to make a new charm for your seal, I know you could break the seal that I gave you before, let see if you could break this one.”
“Umm….”
Damn! I forgot that we’re going to visit Li Akron’s birthday party!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Looking at her own mirror reflection, Li Yen could see that a bright young girl she used to be had turned into a diligent and charismatic woman, an heiress of an empire of power. Looking at her reflection once again, she can see perfection of her attire. Even in her early thirty, she is still stunningly attractive. Her pretty face is polished with make-up, and her silk white garment perfecting her appearance.
A perfect bride and sacrifice.
She is preparing herself for her own engagement. Her father didn’t said anything, but she’s sure that her father would announce this unification plan in his birthday party tonight. For what else he prepared this marvelous party in his cruise ship, inviting many upper class and all top-level gangster’s world leaders.
The world is changing, she knows her sacrifice is required to maintain peace within Hong Kong. But to be married to this person, Wales, she’s sure that for the rest of her life she would living a hell. It is a good thing that Li-Jing isn’t coming to Hong Kong, as she doesn’t want him to know just yet. Even though he suspects something, She wasn’t prepared to tell her son the idea of having Wales as a father.
All these years, Li-Jing is the only hope that filled her heart. She adores her son, and she always wishes for his happiness. For Li-Jing’s sake, she learned ancient sorcery to seal his remaining demonic power so he could live normally among people. She always kept her identity as a mafia daughter and a sorceress as a secret, until he caught her badly injured after a fight in Hong Kong. Now he knows that his mother is not a reporter, but he still does not know that his mother is also a sorceress. He does not know that he is a half demon by blood, and she would do anything to keep this matter as secret.
A hard knock on her door abruptly brought her back into reality. After sum of three hard knock, suddenly the door is opened, revealing a 37 year old male in blonde hair and clean white suit, Wales.
