Once upon a time, there was an unlucky man. He lived his life unluckily but content, always looking for something else in his life. One day, the unlucky man's lord sold him off to the Devil so he could be king. The unlucky man was trapped and forced to obey the Devil, making other people suffer.
Once the Devil was satisfied, he put the unlucky man to sleep for many, many years. When the demon finally put the unlucky man to work again, the unlucky man met a warrior princess and her fallen king father. The unlucky man fell in love with the warrior princess as they fought the Devil's handiwork. But as the fallen king gave his blessing, the Devil came for the king's soul and murdered him, as payment for the unlucky man's escape. The unlucky man fell into despair, his love for the warrior princess became remorse and guilt.
So one day, the unlucky man jumped into a whirlpool, hoping to die. He didn't die, instead appearing in a new alien world. The unlucky man became a Traveller; capable of hopping through worlds. But no matter how many worlds he leaped, the Devil always seemed to be one step behind the Traveller.
