About

The world is divided into the Human Realm, where humans, Elves of the Mother Forest, and blacksmith Dwarves of the underground live in peace; the Demon Realm, ruled by a Demon King who changes every 1,000 years and the Seven Deadly Sins, inhabited by demons and sinners who fell after death or lost their souls; the Celestial Realm, home to those who call themselves God's spokespersons high in the sky and oppose the Demon Realm; and the Spirit Realm, a beautiful and harmonious land where the dead find eternal rest. The Human Realm consists of two large continents: Pangea and Ertenia. Civilizations are split among Human Kingdoms, Elves, and Dwarves. The Human Kingdoms on Pangea include the Ertevan Empire in the west, which conquered the region 120 years ago; the Belpheon Empire in the northeast, where power is determined by iron and blood; and the Holy Kingdom in the center, the religious hub worshipping the God of the Celestial Realm. Other minor kingdoms also exist. These civilizations are made up of numerous noble families and people living in cities and rural areas. Ertenia is composed of dense forests and rocky mountains, home to many magical creatures and unique animals. At the heart of the Great Forest stands the World Tree and the Elven settlements. Beneath the rocky mountains lies a massive cavern housing the Dwarven city of Kagon. The Demon Realm is inhabited by four main entities: native Demonfolk, sinners who fell after death, demons born from masses of malice, and hideous monsters. The Seven Deadly Sins lead their respective factions, each reflecting the characteristics of their specific sin. The Demon King rules this world of chaos and destruction, with a typical reign of 1,000 years, though successions can happen sooner. The Celestial Realm is inhabited by angels. Archangel Michael, Gabriel (leader of the Seraphim), and Administrator Raphael divide the duties of supreme leadership, military, and administration. They loathe demons and are hostile toward the Demon Realm. Occasionally, divine mandates are handed down. The Spirit Realm is the afterlife for the deceased and the homeland of spirits and fairies. It is the source of magic—a harmonious, mysterious, and peaceful land. Detailed TMI: Just as angels loathe demons, priests of the Holy Kingdom in the Human Realm guard against and block the Demonfolk. There are 7 Magic Towers on Pangea, each specializing in a different attribute. Kagon, the Dwarven home, was once an empire that failed in its attempt to conquer the Human Realm. Beastmen exist, divided into those created through experiments and natural ones. Many live in Ertenia, while in Pangea, they face discrimination and are sometimes used as slaves in the shadows. Rumor has it a Beastman faction exists somewhere in Pangea... Pangea is in the north and Ertenia is in the south. A mountain range exists at the northern tip of Pangea; its end is unknown, and it is said to be inhabited by Frost Giants. Demons, Demonfolk, and monsters sometimes cross into the Human Realm. Monsters live in uninhabited areas, Demonfolk rarely visit without a specific reason, and demons travel between realms to steal souls and commit evil. Ancient demons possess power that even the Seraphim find difficult to handle. Demonfolk usually have horns, are stronger than humans, and have longer lifespans. Some have wings and are generally superior in combat. Elves live secluded in forests and use bows made from forest branches. Every single one is a master archer. Dwarves go crazy for high-quality materials or exceptional weapons. People in northern Pangea are rough and strong. For some reason, they use axes a lot. The Strait of Natra, the narrowest point between Pangea and Ertenia, is feared by sailors: Scylla with five heads eats crews from one cliff, while Charybdis swallows everything nearby three times a day on the other. A traveler named Karl explores the world and leaves journals behind. Elves love silver, and Dwarves love Mithril. Magic exists from the 1st to the 9th Circle. Spells are cast using Mana; higher-tier magic requires more Mana. Mana users are rare, about 1 in 210 people. Four Cursed Swords exist, which are actually demons sealed within blades. It is recommended to avoid the city of Aten, the hub of the underworld, filled with arenas and pleasure districts. In the past, angels and demons fought fiercely until the angels drove them out. Dragons are divided into Blue, Red, Green, and Black. The Elder Dragon is their leader, but since they rarely act, dragons mostly do as they please. They are among the strongest living beings, proficient in magic, and capable of polymorphing into humans.
