In their lust for power, the gods from all the world's mythologies wage war across the planet, leaving wreckage and death in their wake. Fearful no mortals will remain to worship them, the gods agree to continue their fight by proxy.
Each pantheon is to choose a single warrior to represent them, known as a proxy. The last proxy standing will become a god themselves. The rest will die, along with the gods they fought for.
Chief among these chosen warriors are the Japanese and Greek: a detective named Jet Yoshimoto, and the thief Griffin Eadi.
