It was said in the book that at first there was nothing in the cosmos apart from two entities. Zoi the Titaness of Life and Charos the Titan of Death.
One day they both decided to create a world where life and death could flourish together as one. And that day is when 'Godryk' was created.
The two created millions of races. It was the day when eternal peace seems possible. They coexist and never hurt nor damage each other.
Gods were also created using the two Titans' very own life essence. They were the leader of their own respective races. They were the strongest existence in the world.
But even though the two Titans tried to make life and death coexist, it was impossible. They were borne to be opposite to each other. The whole world was then split into three nations.
The Celestials were one of the three. They claim themselves to be the one and rightful ruler. They were lead by one of the three strongest Gods in existence. The Goddess of Judgement, Kriss. She was the progenitor of all Elves. She was said to be the most beautiful existence in the cosmos, even more, beautiful than her creator, Zoi. She was also famed for being the fastest of all beings in Godryk and no one can outrun her. The Celestials then claim the northern and eastern side of the world and named the two continents, Fatias and Agathia.
The Chthonian was the second. They oppose the Celestials' tyranny and claim themselves the strongest. No one can ever order and rule Chthonians. They are prideful and evil creatures who only seek blood and flesh. They were lead by one of the three strongest gods in history. The God of Insanity, Paronia. He was the progenitor of all Mavros race. The race of destruction. They were like elves but purple-skinned and had red wings on their back. The more the pair of the wings the stronger they are. It was even said in the book that Paronia was said to have a million pairs of wings. The Mavros race symbolizes death and calamity. These groups claim the south and western part of the world. They name these continents, Kaco and Gradios.
The last group was the Oddress. They were lead by humans. The last God of the three strongest gods in existence was Jax, the Sword God. He invented a billion sword techniques that are still used here in the current era. He was not an ordinary human. He surpasses them all. Having 3 pairs of arms that each wields a legendary sword. He'll kill you if you provoke him and he will not care at all if you leave him alone. He leads humans and other races to prosper in the presence of the two clashing superpowers.
They were scattered in the world and didn't participate in any battle and war. The two also kept their distance and they make sure to not harm these races. Jax was the protector of this group and because of him the humans and their allies still exist today.
These ancient superpowers constantly battle each other. Of course, the Oddress didn't dare to participate. And so does the two, they didn't attack their territory at all.
After a while, they can't hold their patience anymore and soon started an all-out war. This was later known as the "Ancient God War I". They started their battle and the whole world was destroyed because of the sheer destruction the two group cause.
The two Titans in the cosmos grew worried. This was their creations but now they were slaughtering each other. It was like the feeling of a mother seeing her children kill each other. They can't tolerate it anymore and decided to intervene at some point. They can't directly interfere because they made a vow to never participate in Godryk's affair. They soon find out that Jax never participated in the war and didn't seek to battle for supremacy. His heart was pure and just. He dislikes killing.
The Titans took note of this and decided to use him as their solution to this mess.
At that point billions of life forms were dead. The Gods of the two superpowers continued their battle for hundred of years with no clear winner. The two made an agreement and finally stop the war for supremacy.
Of course, the Titans were happy. They didn't need to intervene anymore, the problem fixes itself. But just as they thought of this after a thousand years the two groups, the Celestials, and the Chthonians franticly attack the Oddress' territory. They grew afraid that if the two of them battled for longer the Oddress might attack and claim the title of the world's ruler.
The two made an agreement to wipe out Oddress and continue their battle afterward. This event was known as the "Oddress Downfall". Because of the sudden attack of the two, the scattered territory of the Oddress was on the brink of extinction.
"Wow, to think that this world has a huge amount of events that happen. And this is just the beginning.", Kite can't help but be amazed. This was more intense compared to the world war on Earth. It was like comparing a real war and war using soldier figurines.

The two Titans grew more angered. The two Titans bestowed Jax two sword to teach the two a lesson. The Life Sword and the Death Sword. Each countering the opposing enemies. The name may sound simple but these swords were the most tyrannical weapon of all.
The three strongest gods battled in the airspace of Godryk for a hundred years until Jax tore both of Kriss' legs and rip off all of Paronia's wings. He didn't kill them because he too suffered great injuries. The three pair of arms he had was all destroyed. The three of them look liked zombies floating in midair. They decided to end this war once and for all and the three lived in harmony once more.
"So the other part of the book is on the second floor. Damn, I at least need to pay 10 silvers", Kite complained.
The complete history of this world was fragmented. It was incomplete. This book was only a brief introduction to the creation of this world.
If he was on Earth he probably will question or sometimes don't believe in religion or in deities and gods. But now that he was in this magical world the history book is probably real. Titans and Gods do exist.
The Gods created by the Titans were called the Ancient Gods. They are automatically born as God and don't need to grow stronger. They only refine their techniques and skills. While the people using their system to reach Grade 9 are called Neotoric Gods. They were mortals who ascended to Godhood.
Kite suddenly was struck by an idea. What if he was sent here by a Godly being. Then does that mean I must reach Godhood myself to find and ask the God who sent him here why he was sent here? He silently mused
He perspired. This was a thing of legends. The strongest in the kingdom was only a Grade 6 Swordsman. How could he reach Grade 9 with the number of resources he has. He must level up faster. He must reach Godhood if he wants to go back to Earth. His family and friends are all waiting for him.
He put down the book and took a deep breath. He arranged all his learning and stand up. Nessa was focused on her book so she didn't notice Kite standing.
Kite look for a while until he finally found something interesting. It was titled "System's Origin".
He took it and sat down once more. He browses it for an hour until he finally finished it. He put it down and again sorted out his learnings.
Basically, no one knows why the system exists. Somebody theorized that it was a gift from the Titans above after the war to grow stronger and prosperous. Others said it was given to us since the beginning. While some scholars believe it was created by an unknown entity comparable to the Titans themselves. They just don't have any proper clue. History books only talked about the events that happen. The system did not mention even once. But there was a single clue regarding the system. It was not directly mentioned but a hint was given.
It was said that before Jax the Sword God died he sacrificed his remaining life essence to grant humanity a blessing. That was all.
But the human system has a special function on it. It was theorized that this was Jax's blessing.
The special function was race change. Humans are capable of transforming to other races permanently without any flaws. After that, they will be no longer human but another race one. There were records of human becoming goblins, orcs, draconians, and even elves.
Kite was surprised by it and check his own system. He saw it and was now curious. The system is really more mysterious than before.
He finally noticed that it was already noon. He still needs to have a class test to become an official swordsman. The fee was also 1 silver so he can still afford it. Plus after night time, he has another important thing to do. He looked beside him and saw Nessa. She was still focusing on what she is reading. It was the same skill book she was reading since they enter the library.
He waited for another half an hour and finally, Nessa was done. She looks at Kite and smiled.
Kite froze. She was really beautiful. He shook his head smiled back after that he said, "You took so long. Are you done? I'm about to head to the Swordsman Barracks to initiate a class change"
Nessa stuck out her tongue, "I tried learning a more advanced healing skill which is AoE but it's too hard. I'll need a lot of time. I guess I'll return her tomorrow."
Kite was shocked. Is learning a skill this hard. If he was learning it then will he take more time? He didn't even know the concept of swordsmanship so he could only give up learning skill books first.
"Ai, it's easier to learn from skill books outside the library. You'll only learn it as fast a blinking an eye. Unfortunately, it's a super rare drop and too expensive to buy", Nessa sighed. It was really hard to get a skill book outside the library but learning it inside here is harder.
They stand up and left the establishment after putting the book back in it's shelved. They hailed a carriage and hop on.
When they reach the inner area's gate they didn't jump off. The barracks was near the core area's gate. It was more prosperous there so the barracks were placed there.
Another hour passed until finally, they reached the core area's gate. They hop out the carriage and directly went into the barracks. They can see people entering and leaving the establishment, all of them swordsmen.
He took a deep breath and prepared himself. A bunch of tests will be given to him and a quest to officially become a swordsman.
Nessa told him this information because all of the classes took tests and a quest albeit different in form.
He entered it and the sight of bulky men greeted him. Some carry a big broad sword, others two long swords, while the most common are single sword swordsman like him.
A pretty dwarf greeted the two of them.
"Good afternoon miss and sir!"
She was really cute. She looks like someone at the age of 19 but her stature was short. Kite can't help but have a strange feeling. Is this a legal loli? He silently mused. It was the first time he saw someone like her.
"I'm here to take a test to become a swordsman!", he declared full of, determination.
