The North-Eastern Continent, Nalvas was split into two by one empire on one side and 50 small nations grouped up together on another. The humans war hungry nature constantly engulfed the continent in a series of wars one after another. It was either the 50 nations fighting amongst each other or the empire attacking them in a attempt to unify the continent to which the nations formed alliances to combat. This situation had continued since the formation of Gaia and would most likely continue had it not been for the birth of a girl, Erina Dante.
Her birth was set in Nex, the western most nation that touched the western seas. This nation prospered on sea life and flourished, therefore the nation had quite some powerful clans due to no starvation. Erina Dante was the heir of one such clan, the esteemed house of Dante. This clan had innately gifted magicians in their given element of fire. They outclassed other houses in fire due to their large mana pool and extreme familiarity to the element. The only reason that they had not been able to defeat the nations around them was simply due to the other nation's clans forming alliances to keep the Dante clan weak.
This all changed when Eric Dante, clan heir at the time and soon to be father of Erina married a women from another clan to form an alliance and defeated the clans oppressors. This paved the way for Erina's prodigious talent to show itself. She was born with an even more abnormal amount of mana and aptitude for fire. Her strength as a baby in the fire element had already surpassed her teachers. All they could do was to teach her to control her mana at the age of 8 and then send her off the prestigious Gaia Academy in the Center Continent with their of hopes and dreams of one day uniting the 50 nations.
In Gaia Academy Erina Dante truly bloomed. Good grades in every subject and top student in the fire magic class. She blazed like a star that every continent, empire, and nation took notice of. This of course included the Helios Empire in Nalvas. Her brilliance panicked them but there truly was nothing they could do as she was in Gaia Academy and therefore under the protection of the five legendary king ranked headmasters.

Under their protection Erina studied peacefully until she would either become a master ranked magician or warrior or reach 20 years of age. 12 years passed since her entrance to the academy and Erina Dante graduated being peak stage master rank at the magic level, early stage master rank for warriors, and at the the age of 20 as well. With this level of power she could return home unhindered and with enough power to protect herself.
With the prodigy return, the Dante clan united the Nex nation within a fortnight and renamed the nation, Dante. They immediately mobilized their armies and conquered their neighbors. Erina Dante's long curly crimson hair, her majestic figure, and her incredible power provoked inspiration and admiration to her people. Not only was she only 20 with plenty of time to grow, she was beautiful, charismatic, and courageous. All the qualities a leader must have. Due to this incredible surge of morale they were unstoppable and the opposing nations began to fall in a domino fashion.
Sure the other nations had master and even grand-master ranked figures but none of them could cause such a increase of morale. Wars are won by armies not individuals unless of course that individual was extremely powerful, unfortunately for the opposing nations master rank to grand-master rank does not produce said power.
The remaining nations had one option left to halt the Dante Kingdom from devouring their nations. They could try and form an alliance with the Helios Empire. But even this option was closed off because the Helios Empire was currently embroiled in a civil war. The Dante Clan truly found the most opportune moment to attack.
After 500 years of continuous warfare on the continent, Erina was a king ranked magician warrior who had led the Dante kingdom to absorbing 48 other nations with only one remaining. The Algain Nation was set between the Helios Empire and the new kingdom. This nation was where Erina Dante's life would change when she met a certain boy. This young boy would change her life forever. He would shake the world. His name was Azrael.
