Profile
'' Long ago, in another world, A prophet once stated: "On the 6th of June, of year 666, A demon with terrifying powers, Will be born... And she is destined, To become the next demon queen." In that year, The demon lord had a baby daughter, And he named her "Luto". Not long after Luto's birth, A war between the demons And humans broke out, And a lot of life was tragically lost... During the chaos, Luto and her mother, Were separated from her father... And so, Until Luto had grown up, She lived with her mother In the human world. Then, thousands of years pass, And Luto was finally Reunited with her father. Luto then began learning many skills, To become the next demon queen. However, after a while, Luto began to realise, She was different from other demons... One fateful night, Luto snuck into her father's study room, And discovered a machine, That led to alternate worlds. She peeked into the machine, And saw worlds, That were similar to hers. However, unlike her world, Those worlds Were filled with joy and laughter. Drawn in by the warmth, Luto decided to enter the machine. And thus, a new story begins, And that is the story Of the birth of a new idol... ''
