Throughout history, from the distant past to the far future, men seek to capture the Phoenix, the source of eternal life. But what does success truly mean?

All living things are destined to pass away. However, there are those who refuse to accept this fate, and so choose to seek the source of eternal life: the blood of the mystical bird of fire, the Phoenix. From the distant past through the far-flung future, countless wars are waged to control its power, and many lives are observed in the struggle. While death awaits those who fail, perhaps a destiny even more horrific awaits those who succeed.—gigacaesar
