Sterak was one of the rare descendants of a Lycan in the continent of Grisea. Lycans are known for their ferociousness and keen senses which would aid them in battle. This two characteristic is what made them feared in the whole continent. However, they were not perfect, and like every other being, they also have weaknesses.
The Human Empire once summoned the Heroes to eradicate the Lycan race whom they called vile beasts, and with their godly skills and powers it was accomplished. Years passed, and most people in the continent thought that the Lycans were eradicated. However, the humans were wrong, and some Lycan that came from prominent families in the Lycan society survived.
Sterak's grandfathers are one of the remaining survivors in the continent and together with the remaining survivors, they secluded in the mountainous region of the continent and hid from the humans for a hundred years.
Within this hundred years, an Enlightened Lycan suddenly rose up to prominence in the mountains and left a set of practices in his deathbed that would make their turbulent emotions be calm and still as water. It caused the once raging Lycans to calm their hearts down and think about the previous matter regarding the humans.
There were a lot of them who hated the humans for killing their brothers and kin, however, there are also some Lycans that did not seem to care about the previous matters anymore and continued doing the set of practices left by the Enlightened Lycan.
This included Sterak's grandparents and parents who are living now in the Demon Empire. Ten years has passed since then and within the first year, Sterak was born.

A busty man was smiling widely as he chopped off the deer's head with his sword. His smile was one of satisfaction, and it would undoubtedly make any women fall for him. Unfortunately for them, though, as this busty man was married and was living his life happily with his wife in a middle of the forest.
This man was naturally Sterak.
Fifty years have passed since Sterak was born and yet he still looks a man in his twenties. His face looked dashing, and his red hair which is a trait from Lycans whipped around the air as he ran back home with a deer on his shoulders.
He pondered on what kind of dish would his wife make for him and could not help but be excited about it. After traveling for more than five minutes, he reached the deepest part of the forest and saw a two-storey house.
Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly opened the door as if it was just a normal day for him when he saw a deranged man holding his wife on the neck.

The deer in his shoulders quickly fell as his body was consumed by boundless rage, his body emitted a dense red aura that would make one's hair stand on end, and his eyes oozed fury. However, there was still intelligence hidden deep inside.
Sterak wanted to rush in and chop the man to pieces, but as he saw the dagger close to his wife's neck, he immediately retracted his previous actions. He observed the man in front of him and found out that his body was shriveled like a corpse causing a gasp of surprise from Sterak.
However, his face was still calm, and indifference was written on his face as he stared at the man before him.
He quickly thought of a plan and with a grunt, Sterak immediately disappeared from his previous position and appeared 5 meters closer to the man. He released a shockwave which was aimed at the man and judging by its violent aura, it would even make a veteran soldier faint in agony, but surprisingly the man before him only smiled insanely as he thrusted the dagger to his wife's neck.
A surprise expression appeared on Sterak's face, and it was quickly replaced with apprehension when he noticed that his spell had failed.
The distance between him and the man was ten meters, and it would take him two breaths in order to reach the distance. He expected that it would slightly stun the man before him, but he did not expect that the man completely ignored it like it was nothing!
His previous confidence of saving his wife from the man's grasp quickly plummeted as bean-sized sweat fell down from his forehead. Sterak's eyes shrank to the size of a needle as he urged his life to burn in order to reach his wife faster.
But the reality is always filled with unexpected things and even though he burned some of his life force the dagger in the man's grasp already reached the skin of his wife's neck.
But before the man can continue with his attack, a slight 'thump' was heard by Sterak, and he quickly noticed that the man's face contorted both in pain and confusion.
This situation caused Sterak to regain his hope as he finally approached his wife and with a slash from his sword two of the man's arm fell down.
Sterak sighed in relief as he held his beloved in his arms. He wondered why the man suddenly stopped moving, and he quickly answered his own question when he saw the boy in front of him.
