What to expect in Clevatess?
This dark fantasy action Seinen series centers around the intertwined journeys of Alicia, Clevatess/Klen, and Luna. Alicia, a young woman who has dreamed of becoming a hero since childhood, is eventually chosen by the king as one of thirteen heroes tasked with defeating Clevatess, one of the Four Great Beast Kings.
Equipped with a legendary sword, Alicia joins 12 other chosen heroes in their quest to eliminate this legendary beast. However, the battle between humanity’s heroes and one of the Beast Kings leads to an unimaginable catastrophe. Clevatess retaliates with overwhelming strength, threatening to wipe out all human life across the Edsea continent.
In an unexpected turn, the future of humanity comes to depend on a single infant. This baby, whom the Beast King later names Luna, is entrusted to the Beast King himself as a means to evaluate humanity's true worth.
Taking a humanoid form under the name Klen, he revives Alicia as an undead warrior to help care for Luna. Bound by Klen’s powers but retaining her core purpose as a hero, Alicia has to perform her final duty as a hero – to safeguard Luna and help guide the remnants of humanity’s fate. Together, the trio, Klen, Alicia, and Luna, set off on an unforeseen journey.
