Chapter 1
Gaia, a planet roughly 2.5 times bigger then Earth with two moons named Lumina and Grandia. A day there last around thirty hours with seven days making up a week, five weeks for a month and 13 months for a year. Gaia is made up of seven continents, each with their own special environment.
The northern continent which mostly consist of snow and tall mountains is mostly inhabited by being that are adopted to the cold like ice trolls, snow wolfs and different type of ice demons. However, because of the cold temperature a person can rarely find a big population of only one race, because some of the more intelligent races decided to found a kingdom with a yuki-onna (snow-woman) as queen because of them living long lives and also having strong ice magic, making the kingdom stable and safe. The kingdom was named the Gelado matriarchy after the first queen Lavernia Gelado. The place is fairly isolated, thanks to the tall mountains and snow storms in the area making trade and travel hard.
The eastern continent is inhabited by races that needs to live close or in water; this is possible thanks to the continent being mostly underwater. There is no country, but many tribes that live there some being nomadic while some of them make a more permanent place. Though all the races living there might look easy to conquer is something you should not think. This was proven when a human kingdom decided to invade the continent because of a rumor that huge amount of gold exist there. However, the invasion plan ended in failure since they intercepted the boats on the way there and either sunk them or redirected them back home. Many of the races despite not being the same always unite against a common threat, thanks to a kingdom in the past that tried to enslave or kill most of them, many races died out during that time because the tribes were very far away from each other so news spread slowly. When they somehow survived thanks to another country invading the first country they managed to regroup and drive out the few people that were not recalled back to the country to defend. Today they have rebuilt from the war and made a warning system in case they are ever invaded again.
The western continent is mainly populated by dwarfs and the ancient dragons, The place is sparsely populated because the continent is almost made up of mountains. This has made it so that only dwarfs with their strong bodies used to great heights and some brave adventurers. There is a dwarven kingdom kind of but it is there just to make sure that no one abuses the resources and to make sure that no one disturbs the dragons. The ancient dragons are an exception because they can live anywhere but choose to live there so they can live in peace. Ancient dragon is a species that only consists of two individuals, one is the embodiment of the seven sins and the other is the embodiment of the seven virtues. An ancient dragon also have seven children each called true dragons each one representing either a sin or a virtue. They are there to keep balance in the world and are only there to observe and make it so that chaos and order are in harmony.
The eastern continent is mostly plains and forest and is where the beastmen originate. There is an abundance of wildlife there that made it the ideal place for beastmen to live in. There is no kingdom but there is council representing the different tribes, the council was made in order to stop war between different tribes and make them recognize each other as equals, which mostly works except for a few battles here and there.

The floating continent, a landmass as big as Australia is inhabited by avian species such as angels and harpies. It is very isolated thanks to it moving with the moon Grandia across the sky. They do get in contact with other races thanks to transportation gates being installed in key places but they are expensive to use so they are used 2-5 times a year at most.
The demon continent is considered a continent even though it is underground. The continent is under one person’s rule, which is the demon lord. He has ruled there for the past 3.000 years and very few people can beat him. However, because of his strength being mostly fueled by demonic energy, which only exist in large quantities underground, makes it so that he cannot attempt any large-scale invasion on other places.
The central continent is a place that all races have traveled to and established cities and kingdoms, spending huge amount of resources and people. This is done because of the central continent being the large and unexplored, with only half of the continent being explored the last 700 years since the first explorers sat foot her. The central continent is considered the most dangerous continent because of its diversity with something from every from every continent. Things like drakes, trolls and demons exist there in many different variations. Almost every race lives there, which made so that many different type of kingdoms, republics and democracy’s exist there.
In a forest not far from the Vielfalt republic, knows as simply the large forest, we can see that a large amount of mana was being collected in to one place. Something like that is not unusual because some demonic species are born this way. What was unusual was that the mana was forming some sort of slimy substance.
When the mana was done collecting the slimy substance fell down and formed a puddle. If a person looked closely, you could see that the slimy substance was starting to form some sort of ball and ended up with what a person in this world would call a slime, the weakest creature of all.
No one could ever guess that a slime of all things would be born, the amount of mana that was collected was enough to summon an arch demon, only the fourth strongest type of demon in the world. This slime may look useless today but one day it will become one of the most famous adventurer in history with names like the Saint of Gran Torino or the healer of a thousands wounds. All these thing it will be known as in due time, as soon as it managed to find a way out of the forest.
