Main Episode-0 Pray (Korean: 프레이; abbreviated as ME-0) is the first episode of Knight Run that serves as the progenitor of the series' narrative plot. As such, the events covered by ME-0, although decisively concluded at the end, has an overarching effect on the succeeding episodes thereafter.
Main Episode-0 Pray is primarily focused on the War of Prayer and the relationship between its two main characters: Anne Mayer and Pray Mayer. It covers the year CC 430 with some flashbacks to CC 422, CC 401, and other years.
Synopsis[]
- See also: War of Prayer
Humans achieved space flight since the dawn of Warp Gate and Black Hole Engine technology in 2248 AD/BCE which paved the way for the colonization of space. However, humans discovered a stunning fact shortly thereafter - we are not alone. For three decades now, humanity is embroiled in a war for both their survival and the supremacy of the universe against the Beasts, spaceborne alien monsters that have insatiable hunger to suck the life out of planets whole.
In CC 430, humans finally managed to regain initiative in the war against the Beasts after suffering numerous losses in the past. The Absolute Defense Line have been expanded and greatly fortified, the quantity of beast presence culled, and humanity in general is steadily recovering. At long last, the Age of Humans is finally here. Humanity's universal and unified government, the AE, was able to restore order with the assistance of Knights, martially superior individuals blessed with great talents, skills, and/or paranormal powers, who spearheads the fight against the Beasts. Unfortunately, AE and Knight Order have always been at odds against each other on matters pertaining to politics.
With the declaration of the Age of Humans, an era of prosperity and competition for rulership was expected. Except it did not happen. The Beasts have struck and invaded humanity's de facto capital, Arin, which invited chaos. While humanity's forces regroup and gather for the arduous task ahead to reclaim their stronghold, a mysterious new Beast Queen now rules the planet. With it, the Queen successfully infiltrated and hacked into humanity's administrative, economic, and military systems. Something about this Queen feels off. Its thinking and actions are too unconventional - almost as if the Queen herself is human.
