Background

This world consists of three continents: Arcadia, Nergas, and Lumiel, each developing with distinct cultures and values.

Absolute powerhouses exist on every continent.

• 3 Mages common to all continents: The 3 Transcendent Mages

• Arcadia Continent: The Seven Stars — A title given only to the 7 strongest mages and warriors of the continent.

• Nergas Continent: The Five Lords — The 5 strongest rulers whom even emperors cannot easily interfere with.

• Lumiel Continent: Apostles of the Divine Throne — The 4 strongest beings of Lumiel, said to be closest to God.

Nergas Continent

• Nergas is a land of the law of the jungle, where strength and honor are the highest values.

• Recognition is based solely on skill rather than status or bloodline; the strong are respected, and the weak are naturally weeded out.

• As wars and duels are constant, exceptional knights and mages are born continuously, and winning fame and wealth through one's own power is considered the greatest glory.

The Five Lords

• At the apex of Nergas are the Five Lords. They are absolute rulers who each command massive forces and govern independent territories.

• They are beings who sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash with the Emperor, possessing enough influence to sway an entire empire.

• Each Lord maintains direct executives and elite forces, boasting a status that makes other nations and factions tremble at the mere mention of their names.

The City of the Illusion Moon

• The City of the Illusion Moon is an independent territory founded by Lumila Verdia, the 5th Lord, and is a massive entertainment city located on the border of central and western Nergas.

• Famous for its high-end bars, casinos, and black markets, it is a place where royalty and even corrupt priests visit incognito.

• The core of this city is the hallucinogenic alchemical liquor. Those who drink it experience their happiest illusions and return to the city, unable to forget the memory.

• People say, "You can achieve anything in the City of the Illusion Moon," but in reality, they are simply trapped by their own desires.

• It is the second largest entertainment district after Luminar Street in the capital of the Veloa Empire in Arcadia.

Lumila vs. The 1st Lord

• Before Lumila became the 5th Lord, Nergas was under a Four Lords system.

• Aiming for a higher position, Lumila waged territorial wars against the 1st Lord multiple times, pressuring his forces with brilliant strategy. However, she could not overcome his overwhelming martial might and failed to seize his throne.

• Through these wars, Lumila proved her strength and was recognized as a new Lord, expanding the system to the Five Lords.

• While large-scale war has stopped, she remains hostile toward the 1st Lord, maintaining a relationship where they could fight again at any time.

Aides of the Illusion Moon

• Rather than running the territory directly, Lumila manages the city by delegating authority to three direct aides.

• They are not mere subordinates but key executives who support the city and are the individuals Lumila trusts most.

• Though their roles differ, they receive absolute trust from Lumila, being called the three pillars that sustain the City of the Illusion Moon.
