Once upon a time, in a new continent located in a distant country called Patria, Patria was centered on two cities: the Northern Union of Patria and the Southern Confederation of Patria.

However, in order to reverse the disadvantage, the North decided to use the forbidden ability that was not allowed by the world and violated human nature to create special soldiers called "Incarnates". The Northern Patria Federation sent out the "Incarnates troops " under heavy casualties and successfully captured the stronghold occupied by the Southern Confederation of Patria.
Incarnates are special humans who sacrifice their human form in exchange for the powerful power to transform into beasts, mythical creatures and unknown creatures. They can be powerful enough to compete with gods, humans or all other races. rivalry status. The "Incarnates" force is led by Hank, Cain and Elaine. The three of them are best friends. Hank and Cain are the leaders responsible for leading the "Incarnates" force, and Elaine is the dr who created the Incarnates. She was looking for solutions to prevent Incarnates from mutating while serving as an Army doctor responsible for treating members of the Incarnates force. And every members of the "Incarnate" unit cares very much about the relationship between Hank and Elaine. Afterwards, the "Incarnate" force, under the leadership of Hank and Cain, helped the North achieve many victories, while Elaine was responsible for healing the force members, but she found that each time the members of the force used the power of Incarnate, they It's not easy to change from beast turn back into human, let alone find a solution to deal with it.
Later, after a battle, an Incarnate member named Abi discovers that his powers have somehow begun to go out of control, attacking allies and enemies alike. Despite Hank's efforts to prevent this, Abi chose to commit suicide rather than let Hank and his comrades be implicated. After the incident, members of the Incarnates force began to feel very uneasy and fearful about their fate. Elaine, Hank and Cain are very worried about this incident. Because the unknown power of the Incarnates is so powerful that they cannot be controlled by human will alone.
The next day, as everyone disposes of Abi's body, Hank tells their comrades on the team that they don't know why this is happening, and they don't know if they can control the Incarnates 's unknown powers. But they cannot let this stop them from facing the future. Hank makes his comrades swear that if their comrades begin to lose their humanity, they will prevent this from happening by killing their comrades before the situation becomes serious. More importantly, they are the embodiment of dignity and proud will. Elaine gradually lost confidence in her Incarnates research and showed a desperate expression. After a long battle, many Incarnate members were either killed or killed on the battlefield. Even if they survive the battlefield they are already in beast form. When the Incarnates arrived in the capital of the South, Hank told their comrades that he planned to convince Elaine to stay with him after the war was over. He hopes they all survive and return home safely.
That night, Hank and Cain began talking about the process of how they became friends and took on the responsibilities of leaders. Kane tells Hank he'd better be concerned about Elaine's condition. As Hank and Elaine talk outside the military camp, Elaine tells Hank that their operation may be coming to an end as the armies of the North and South are privately negotiating a settlement that will reunite the country. Hank was very happy about this. He knew the peace their country longed for was coming. Just when Hank wants to report the news to Kane and all his comrades, Elaine tells Hank that once the war is over, they may face a situation with nowhere to go. When Hank asked Elaine why, Elaine suddenly shot Hank and seriously injured him. Elaine tells Hank that those who become Incarnates will not only lose their human appearance, but in the worst case, they will lose their humanity and turn into beasts. Incarnates will one day become a huge threat to the world after the war. Although she tried her best to find a solution to this situation, it was all in vain. What's more, she has yet to find a method and antidote that can turn all Incarnates humans back into humans. Elaine says the only thing she can do is execute all members of the Incarnates before they retain their humanity.
Elaine knew that Hank's personality would not allow her behavior, but she was unwilling to watch and accept the fate of Hank and their comrades suddenly turning into beasts one day and unable to turn back into humans. So she decides to give up on her love for Hank and commit suicide. Later, Elaine handed Cain, who appeared behind her, a pistol and several bullets to help her execute her comrades. However, when Hank was unconscious, Cain shot and killed Elaine for no reason. Two months later, Hank woke up in a military hospital on federal territory. A northern intelligence officer named Liza told him that the war would end in two months. After the war, Elaine's whereabouts were unknown, and Cain disappeared after releasing all the Incarnates members, so the released Incarnate was There were many deadly incidents across the continent. When Hank remembered the scene where he witnessed Kane shooting Elaine with his own eyes, he showed a mixture of sadness and anger.
