In a certain town, a kid around the age of 6 wandered around, he looked around in a panic and showed signs of crying could be noticed. An old man who was sitting in a chair and a table in front of him tried to get the attention of the kid.
“Hey little boy, are you lost?” The boy’s expression showed hesitation and stared at the old man. After a few seconds, the boy slightly nodded, the old man then smiled and gave encouragement to the child.
“Don’t worry, we’ll find your parents soon. But before that, would you like to hear a story?”
“What kind of story?” The boy tilted his head as he reacted to the old man. The old man grinned and gazed into the boy’s eyes.
“It is a story about how this very world began.”
*****
A thousand years ago, the world consisted was surrounded by plain dirt. If you faced north, you could see dirt, west, east, and south was the same. The only change of scenery that could be seen was the blue sky surrounded by white clouds. The world had no humanoid beings, animals, or plants.
The only one which existed in this world was a deity named Nostus, the God of Beginnings. Nostus lived happily in the world he reigned. But several days, months and even years passed, Nostus began to grow tired of the world. With a flick of his fingertips, a new existence beside Nostus existed in the world. That certain existence had a jelly like green colored skin. It was what would now be called a Slime. Nostus was delighted by what he made and continued to create several slimes. But once again, after a little while, he lost interest of the slimes due to them having no capability to think.
Nostus began to create another existence that would rival himself, until he was able to create something with a form similar to himself. A humanoid being that could think, move, and feel. At this time, Nostus laughed and jumped in joy. To be able to create something similar to him was a great achievement. But little did Nostus know that this existence was beyond his control.
“Who….are... you…?” The man Nostus created gazed at him with cold eyes. Nostus noticing this, gave a slightly shocked expression and continued to reply normally.
“Why, I am no one else but the one who gave birth to you. I am Nostus, the God of Beginnings and the God of this World.”

In an instant, the man moved very fast, possibly supersonic, clenched his fist and aimed to Nostus’ face. Nostus eyes widened and reacted to the man’s punch. But was still blown several meters away. Nostus was angry and happy at the same time, as he was able to have fun from today onwards.
“Hahahahaha! Now this is very interesting! Show me your true power!” Nostus moved at high-speed and charged to the man.
Their battle was said to last years, decades, and even centuries. Until both of them reached their limits and clashed to each other with all their remaining strength. The World exploded due to impact and recreated itself. Giving birth to several gods who created the rest of the world and kept the balance until today.
The world was called Esloria, which was occupied by Humans, Demi-Humans, Demons, and Faeries.
Esloria consisted of 4 massive continents namely,
Aedweif – The continent reigned by humans which is filled with lively towns and kingdoms.
Arusha – The continent ruled of the Gods and demigods.
Iluna – The continent controlled by Demons.
Eifelone – The continent filled with gigantic forests, home of most Demi-Humans.

“And that’s how the world began.” The old man smiled at the child while finishing his story. The child listening to his story was greatly astonished by the story and asked the old man a question.
“By the way, what’s the name of the man God Nostus fought?”
“Oh right, His name was-“
Before the old man could finish talking a woman in her twenties approached them and the child recognized her as his mother. Completely forgotten the boy's own question, The mother bowed and thanked the old man who was still smiling. When the mother and child began to leave, the child looked back and said,
“Thank you, uncle!”
“You’re welcome.” The old man replied with a wry smile.
