Roia was a planet with four continents. One of the continents was a continent of ice located at the south pole, while the other three were large pieces of land that were further divided into fourteen parts. The central continent belonged to the Demonic Domain, being the fourteenth part.

The parts belonged to kingdoms, empires, monarchies, thearchies, and private lands.

The Thelwedean Empire was located on the eastern continent, along with Dreghel, the Kingdom of Napjes, the Everlasting Pinnacle, Dustmih, the Kingdom of Khathel, and the Dalaman Sultanate.

The rest of the parts of the western continent existed, namely the Thearchy of Bazilarar, Nar, the Protectorate of Baryngoria, Bayanase, the Kingdom of Nazigez, and Nale.

The Thelwedean Empire was mainly inhabited by humans and governed by them. This made the Empire known as the "human Empire".

Dreghel was the capital of all elves, being the home of the World Tree.

Napjes was one of the two nations mainly inhabited by Beast-kin, the Tiger Beast-kin rulers. The other nation was the Dalaman Sultanate, ruled by Minotaur Beast-kin.

Dustmih was a domain that belonged to the Dragonlancer family, was protected by them, and had strict rules.

The Kingdom of Khathel was ruled by the vampires, a whole nation that belonged to the vampire race.

The Thearchy of Bazilarar was ruled by their "God", the archmage of each period, being the core civilization of magic advancement. It was a place where race didn't matter; only money, power, and talent did.

Nar was the nation of the druids, dense in mana and life force with countless habitats like swamps, forests, and jungles.

The Protectorate of Baryngoria was the only nation officially protected by all nations. It was a nation ruled by Dwarfs, who had put all their efforts into constructing things that didn't have mana due to their lack of natural talent, thanks to their race.

Bayanase was a nation inhabited and ruled by Draconians, half dragon and half human, a similar race to druids, who were a mix of Ents and humans.

The Kingdom of Nazigez was known as the warrior kingdom since everything was determined by strength, from the monarch to the knights protecting the monarch to the average people. Anyone could ask for a duel with anyone, and death in battle was highly revered. They were a kingdom that adored warriors.

Nale was the domain of the dragons, known as a taboo place for anyone who didn't have permission to enter. The world didn't know how many dragons were left, but they knew Nale was the only place to see a living, breathing dragon.

And finally, the Everlasting Pinnacle, the largest and tallest mountain range in the whole of Roia, is so big that it even surpasses some of the nations in size. The environments here are incredibly harsh, so no living creature is known to survive on their highest peaks.

Ever since the demons who had invaded their world were sealed in the Demonic Domain, the world had been at peace, with only a few wars scattered throughout history.

Some might think that sacrificing an entire continent was a stupid idea, but it was the only way for them to keep living since they couldn't defeat the demons even after fighting them for so many years.

Sealing the demons within the Demonic Domain was an act of desperation, a last resort to protect the rest of Roia from their destructive powers. It was a sacrifice made by the brave warriors and mages of all the nations who fought valiantly to contain the demonic forces.

The Demonic Domain had turned from one of the most habitable continents into nothing more than a hellhole, brimming with darkness and malevolence. It was said that the air within its borders was tainted, and anyone who ventured too close would feel the weight of its evil pressing down on them. The demons that resided there were robust and cunning, and their desire to break free and wreak havoc on Roia was a constant threat.

Over the centuries, the nations of Roia established a delicate system to keep the demons contained. They formed a coalition known as the Guardians of Roia, a group of elite warriors and mages from each nation dedicated to monitoring the seal and defending against any breaches. The leaders of this group were the family heads of the Hero lineage.

Herbert Dragonlance, Sultan Khimmond Arslan, Hubys Sunsurge, Lazarus Duskblade, Ironyew, and Boddrom are influential figures in their own right, some even being the heroes of the previous generation.

----------------------------------------

North of Kelsein, a small village called Blue Flower Village, the figure of a young man could be seen sitting on top of the shack, his gaze empty of emotion.

The young man was handsome but also highly feminine, to the point that many people confused him for a girl when they first saw him.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Holding two necklaces in his hand, he couldn't help but mutter, a bitter smile forming on his red lips.

"Father, Mother, why must you leave me?"

His words would make anyone stare at him weirdly since his parents had long perished; however, if they could see through his eyes, they would see two ghost-like figures floating before him.

"Vin, you know we can't stay longer… If we stay any longer, we will be unable to reincarnate."

Said the male ghost, his face resolute.

"Our precious son, you should get over our deaths; it has already been ten years."

Chimed in the female ghost on the other side, making the young man frown.

After hearing his parent's words, Vincent sighed with a heavy heart. After a few minutes of thinking, he agreed with his parent's request. He knew he had held them here far longer than he was supposed to, but he couldn't bear to part ways.

Moving his hand, he removed the binding from the necklaces, prompting the two transparent figures to smile and slowly float upwards.

"My son, you should not worry since we can already see a bright future ahead, waiting for you."

Said the male ghost, as he bowed slightly. The female ghost seemed to cry as it waved back at the young man. After a few seconds, the two ghost figures disappeared, leaving the figure lonely once again.

As the young man held the necklaces in his hands, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over him. The necklaces were his most prized possessions, and they were the only things he had left of his parents.

Vincent Blackwood had been living in Blue Flower Village for some time, keeping to himself and avoiding contact with the other villagers. He knew his appearance and abilities frightened people, so he preferred to keep his distance.

But despite his efforts, the villagers had begun to suspect that he was not just an ordinary person. Some of them had seen him using his aspect, and rumors about him being a demon began to spread.

Vincent knew that he couldn't stay in the village for much longer. He didn't want to cause any more trouble for the villagers. He had a weak heart despite having such a devastating aspect.

He was lost in his thoughts when he heard a voice calling out his name.

"Vincent! Vincent Blackwood!"

He looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice. Then, he noticed a figure approaching him from the road leading to the village.

It was a young man, slightly younger than him, with bright blue hair and brown eyes, sporting a mischievous face that would make anyone want to punch him. He was wearing a green cloak, and Vincent could sense a strange vibe coming from him.

Vincent knew that this person was not an ordinary villager. He could feel a sense of power radiating from him, and he knew that he was someone important.

"Who are you?" asked Vincent, his voice cold and distant.

"My name is Jesse Ward. I've been looking for you."

Replied the young man, grinning from ear to ear.

"Why?"

Vincent narrowed his eyes.

"It's orders; of course, I have to follow them. All I need is your cooperation."

Said Jesse while chuckling.

Vincent scoffed.

"Why should I do as you say? What do I gain from this?"

Jesse only smiled for a moment before replying.

"I'm not the one who made the deal, so of course, I don't know, but from what I hear, it's important, so I want you to cooperate peacefully.

Vincent frowned at his words but didn't act. Looking at the teenage boy, He felt an extreme sense of danger. Realizing that he couldn't escape when facing such a powerful enemy and not wanting to take any risks, he spoke.

"What do you want me to do?"

He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jesse's eyes turned into crescents when he heard his words, making Vincent shudder.

"Come with me, and I'll explain everything."

Vincent looked at the two necklaces in his hands before nodding. He knew he couldn't stay in the village any longer, so leaving now was the best option. Not even looking at the shack he had lived in the past few months, he followed behind Jesse.

Not long after, the two of them found themselves outside the gates of Kelsein. Vincent was looking around him, full of anxiety, not comprehending what they were doing there.

Jesse ignored his antics as he pushed a small rock into the wall, activating the mechanism inside and causing a secret pathway to appear.

Vincent stood there, speechless at the sight, but his amazement quickly died down when he saw Jesse enter and walk further into the path.

Rushing behind him and walking for around five minutes, they found themselves inside the black market, where business was booming as usual. Since a war was happening with the elven kingdom, a lot of war gear could be sold in the stores.

Jesse ignored all the market stands as he entered Trader Bill's office, not caring about Vincent's current turmoil.

Having never experienced such a sight, Vincent was currently feeling over the moon, as excitement was evident in his black eyes.

However, as Vincent and Jesse walked through the black market, Vincent couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He had never been in such a place before, and seeing all the weapons and dangerous-looking individuals made him nervous.

Jesse, on the other hand, seemed to be right at home. He confidently greeted several people along the way and led Vincent through a maze of alleyways until they arrived at a large tent in the center of the market.

"This is where Trader Bill operates."

Jesse explained as he led Vincent inside.

Vincent's eyes widened as he took in the sight before him. The inside of the tent was like a small city, with various stalls and booths selling everything from weapons to exotic pets. In the center of it all was a large desk where an elderly man with a kind expression was sitting.

"Trader Bill, I've brought Vincent Blackwood, as requested."

Jesse said, bowing slightly.

Trader Bill looked up from his paperwork and studied Vincent momentarily before nodding.

"Good work, Jesse. You may go now."

Jesse gave Vincent a nod before disappearing into the crowd of people.

Vincent stood in front of Trader Bill, feeling like he was being judged. He had yet to learn who this trader Bill was and why he was looking for him.

"Vincent Blackwood, a young man who managed to kill two demonic slaves at the age of eight after the death of his parents. Honestly, I didn't know such talent existed in my area of supervision, but I guess I've been too negligent the past few years due to my old age."

Trader Bill said, making Vincent have goosebumps.

The old man talked about his life so casually that it gave him the creeps.

Looking at Vincent's strained expression, trader Bill couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, young man, I won't do anything to you. I'm not even the one that wanted to talk to you."

Saying so, trader Bill pulled out a small glass sphere similar to the one William was holding earlier and activated it.

"Trader Bill? What's the matter? Did you find the person I was looking for?"

William's voice could be heard coming from the glass sphere.
