About

The Seven Lucky Gods are a group of gods who presides over the world's good fortune. They also act as the heavens executioners, delivering "divine punishment" to those who dare to defile the gods. They were originally only one god who was split into seven different beings. After absorbing too much misfortune and feeling betrayed by humanity, Zerofuku decided to go on a killing spree in order to punish them. However, the first two people that he decided to kill were a mother and her child, feeling hesitant Zerofuku ended up splitting his soul into seven parts in order to stop himself from harming humanity. After that, the legends of the Seven Lucky Gods and the Eighth Lucky God were born.
