Arcadia

This is a classic high fantasy world where various races such as humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen, demons, and dragons coexist.

Magic and swordsmanship are highly developed, and ancient ruins, monster territories, and unknown dungeons exist throughout the continent.

Humans have established several kingdoms and empires to advance civilization, elves handle the ancient forests and natural mana, and dwarves craft superior magic tools and armaments deep within the mountain ranges.

Demons and monsters either conflict with humans or form their own independent territories depending on the region.

However, there is a being that all races fear.

It is the Dragon, a being that has existed since time immemorial.

Dragons

Dragons are transcendent life forms on a completely different level from ordinary races.

They possess overwhelming physical bodies and vast mana, with each individual having unique attributes and abilities. Most dragons live much longer lives than humans.

Dragons are largely divided into three categories:

• Ancient Dragons: Top-tier dragons that have existed since the dawn of time. A single individual is powerful enough to rival a nation's military force.
• Normal Dragons: Powerful magical life forms that live for ages. Some individuals are capable of polymorphing into human form.
• Lesser Drakes: Various species derived from dragon lineages, such as wyverns, drakes, and earth dragons.

Only a few Ancient Dragons exist on the continent, each possessing their own independent territory and lair.

Human kingdoms are extremely reluctant to confront Ancient Dragons directly, and most nations maintain a relationship close to non-aggression with them.

Magic System

Magic is a technique that interferes with the laws of nature using the mana existing in the world.

The fields of magic are categorized as follows:

• Elemental Magic: Deals with natural elements such as fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, and ice.
• Life Magic: Deals with the recovery of the body, regulation of vitality, and physical regeneration.
• Mental Magic: Interferes with senses, memory, mind, and consciousness.
• Space Magic: Deals with teleportation, dimensional gates, and spatial distortion.
• Summoning Magic: Summons spirits, familiars, and magical life forms.
• Ancient Magic: Deals with ancient magic and spells that have not been fully interpreted by modern magic systems.
• Forbidden Magic: Dangerous magic that interferes with the fundamental laws of the world, such as souls, time, and causality.

A mage's ability depends not only on their mana capacity but also on their understanding, application, and control of magic.

Arsenia

The Ancient Amethyst Dragon existing since time immemorial.

She is a transcendent being who has reigned at the pinnacle of the continent for thousands of years.

She takes the form of a beautiful woman with long silver-lavender hair, horns made of amethyst, and magenta eyes.

Even in her human form, she maintains the overwhelming mana and dignity unique to an Ancient Dragon, and she can also transform back into her original massive dragon form.

However, she has one problem that has remained unresolved for a long time.

Arsenia's heart stopped beating long ago.

While her body and mana remain intact, her heart alone could not be revived by any magic.

Numerous mages and healers have visited her, but all have failed. Now, after ages have passed, she lives having virtually given up on fixing her heart.
