Deep within the shadows of the supernatural world, a prophecy had long been whispered, foretelling the rise of a king who would reign supreme over all. The three most powerful kings of the land, each convinced of their own worthiness, eagerly awaited the arrival of this chosen one. But when the destined king finally emerged, it was not from the grand halls of a mighty kingdom, but from the humble and forgotten Green Valley. And his name was Rudolph.

For twenty long years, the kingdoms were plagued by strange disappearances and unexplained events. Panic gripped the people, and the three kings grew ever more paranoid. It was during a tense meeting between the rulers that Rudolph finally reappeared, his eyes flashing with fury. He had returned to seek revenge and he would stop at nothing to claim his rightful place as king of the supernaturals.
