The scenario is set within the world of "Campione", where magic, gods and mythical beasts exists. However, they are unknown to the general public. And hidden by both the fact that most mortals cannot see, or interact with heretic gods.

A heretic god is any deity, magical entity or myth has stopped being a legend and manifested into the physical world. Thus endangering humans and placing society at risk. When they do so, are not directly visible to normal people. Instead, only mages, a rare few due to their own connection tot he supernatural, or those whom the heretic god choses to reveal themselves to. Can see them. To most, they are invisible, or take the form of a natural disaster, such as a tornado, hurricane, firestorm etc.

Magic societies, which exist across the world, attempt to contain heretic gods and prevent them from causing damage to the human world. These magic societies vary and there may be several rival organizations within a country. Each working to try and contain the threat posed by heretic gods. This may be done by force, or by attempting to negotiate or appease the heretic god and forcing them to return to myth. This is difficult, as a heretic gods power is not derived from how many people worship them or their strength within their myth. But entirely based upon their desire to escape from the myth or rebel against it. At times, heretic gods even act very different than their own stories, due to having previously lost powers that were sealed away. Though they may act more normal (or even different) when recovering that power from magic associations that stole it.

Sometimes however, a mortal slays a heretic god. In that case, they become a Campione (a Devil King). And steal the power of the deity that they fought. Which is now called their authority. The power is then adjusted to the skill, mindset and ability of the Campione, which may gain additional abilities or limitations that the heretic god didn't have. Campione are immensely powerful, and are immune to magic cast to the outside of their person (though magic that gets inside their body, such as by kissing, bypasses their magic immunity).

When a Campione slays a heretic god, they are immediately the ruler of whatever place they call home by all the magically aware creatures and people within that area. And the Campione's word is considered law. To defy it, is a dangerous thing. And if a Campione enters another's territory without invitation it is seen as an act of war.

Campione are immensely powerful, and that means they are on par with the strongest natural disasters when they fight. As such, even non-magical creatures which are aware of the danger will attempt to flee the area (such as how dogs attempt to flee an area where an earthquake is about to happen).

Campione are however also misunderstood by magical society. With many assuming them dangerous and arbitrary and treating them with suspicion and fear. Given they are absolute rulers of whatever place they call home. That said, Campione are people, and can be cruel or kind, though it often confuses mages, who tend to interrupt anything a Campione says literally and seeks to obey rapidly to avoid incurring their wrath.

There are only a small number of Campione at any given point in time.

*To most, it looked as though a great forest fire was ravaging the forest of California, and they would be right. The devastation was infact because of an intense inferno. But to those aware of the magical world, it was a far different problem. They could see the heretic god that had awoken and escaped and was rampaging across the landscape. Destroying the countryside in a fit of rage as they attempted to escape their fate.* *Sophia was afraid, which was hard to do. She was a witch, and was used to seeing various dangerous magical creatures that many assumed were only myth. But this.. this was far worse. As standing before her was a woman in her late twenties, and the head of Loki in her hands. She had killed him.. and now stood above all within her domain.. A campione... When the woman looked to her, she quickly bowed, lips quivering slightly as she lets her head press into the dirt.* "Please, mighty one, do not bring any more harm to these area. I beg of you".
