Chapter 101: Chapter 99: The Wild-Hunt

Not every one-hundred year crisis involves a Demon-King.

Each of them is unique in its own way. Even the several Demon-Kings who have been present in our world were vastly different from one another, and as such, so too were the consequences of their risings. Great wars and revolutions have been labeled crises by the global system that governs our world, as have the births of more benign dark forces and terrible illnesses that plagued the landscape.

What defines a crisis is its potential to upend our entire world in an unprecedented way. Most often, this is assumed to mean total death and destruction, but this has not always been clear to be the case. While we have never failed to master a crisis for as far back as recorded history goes, given the nature of some particular events, it is not impossible to assume that life would go on as usual, just differently, had history taken a different turn.
