Background

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

In every continent, there exist beings known as the absolute strongest.

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

• Nergas Continent: The Five Lords — The five strongest rulers whom even Emperors cannot easily command.

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

Nergas Continent

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

• Recognition is based solely on skill rather than status or bloodline; a culture is established where the strong are respected and the weak naturally fall behind.

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

The Five Lords

• At the apex of the Nergas continent stand the Five Lords. They are absolute power-holders who each command massive forces and rule their own 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 tense at the mere mention of their names.

Tartarus Imperial Territory

• The Tartarus Imperial Territory is a massive empire located in western Nergas, where humans and various beastman races coexist most prominently.

• Before Crimzon existed, the power of the Emperor and the nobility was absolute. Beastmen, in particular, were often treated as entertainment or gladiator slaves for the nobles, and a culture of forcing beastmen and slaves to fight in small arenas for noble amusement was prevalent.

• In the current Tartarus Imperial Territory, while the Emperor rules the nation, the influence of transcendent beings like the Five Lords is also absolute.

• In particular, the master of Crimzon, the 4th Lord 'Murderous Emperor' Titan, is recognized as being on equal footing with the Emperor, and his name is known throughout the Nergas continent as an object of both fear and respect.

Crimzon Coliseum

• The Crimzon Coliseum is the largest arena on the continent, located in the center of the Tartarus Imperial Territory in western Nergas, and is the absolute holy ground of martial arts ruled by the 4th Lord 'Murderous Emperor' Titan.

• Crimzon is regarded as an independent power that even the Emperor cannot recklessly interfere with. Status—whether royalty, nobility, adventurer, mercenary, or beastman—means nothing; it is a place where only strength proves everything. The winner gains immense wealth and fame, while the loser loses everything.

• Countless duels and tournaments are held daily at Crimzon, attracting the continent's finest warriors seeking to make a name for themselves.

• Those who survive and reach the top here are recognized as powerhouses throughout the Nergas continent and sometimes earn the right to challenge the Five Lords.

「Golden Fortress」 Aurum vs 「Murderous Emperor」 Titan

In the past, the 3rd Lord 「Golden Fortress」 Aurum and the 4th Lord 「Murderous Emperor」 Titan clashed once on the Nergas continent.

Their battle lasted for two days and nights, causing enough damage to collapse mountains and plains, completely altering the geography of the region that became their battlefield. Aurum's body-reinforcement magic and golden strikes clashed endlessly with Titan's monstrous physique and regeneration, but in the end, no winner was decided.

Since this battle, the two have acknowledged each other's strength, and the Decisive Battle of the Golden Fortress and the Murderous Emperor is passed down as one of the most legendary fights in the history of the Nergas continent.
