Prologue
Four trillions of years, many creatures came into existence. Wanting to survive, the creatures fought and devoured each other.
After surviving many fights, many of the creatures came to a realization. There are two types of creatures in their world. The strong, and the weak.
The strong devour the weak.
With their knew found knowledge, they became wary. Wary of the beings that are able to defeat them. As a result, they also realized, there is someone stronger than them.
They were fustrated, that they would someday meet someone stronger then them. To die, a pointless death.
Countless years passed, with creatures struggling to survive. Many began to ponder, to find another way to survive. Is their only one way of survival in this world?
Afraid, many creatures gave up, and searched for another path. A path even the weak could take, in order to survive.
As weak creatures, they were inferior in combat with a stronger being. Of course, the one that wins, dont emerge victorious unscatched. The winner and loser both have their own level of strength, the one with the higher level of strength wins.
Knowing this, the weak creatures began to look for away that would increase their fighting power. In the process, many of the weak creatures watched other creatures fight.
If a creature won, the creature is killed by another. They realized, even if they are strong, they have their limits. They cannot continuously fight others.
A few more years passed, and one of the creatures had an idea.
What if the weak grouped up, to defeat the creatures stronger than them? The stronger creature would not be able to fight off all the attackers. Grouped, their strength combines, and mulitplies.
Immediately, after the idea, many weak creatures began forming groups to fight others. Countless weak creatures stood together, and formed the very first community.
With their new found knowledge, the power struggle became easier for many. Thousands of years passed, and the creatures gathered an immense amount of knowledge.
Using the gathered knowledge, they improved their way of living. Homes were constructed. Weapons were being developed. A heirarchy was established.
In the following years, the creatures lived in peace. They were able to drive out their fear of dying. The weak grew in number.
During a certain time in history, other beings came into existence. Races were created.
The races did not coexist, and fought each other. With constant warfare, the numbers of the races dwindled. Not wanting to die out, they proposed a deal. They made treaties, to stop warfare and live in peace.
With the new found peace, the creatures advanced. New ways of aquiring means of survival came into existence.
Currency was developed, and jobs were given.
Even though the races found peace, it wasn't permanent. Violence was always around. Your home might be peaceful, but somewhere in the world, a family might be longing for peace.

Since the beginning of their existence, all the races were always wary. Wary of the beings that truly stood at the top. Beings that they couldn't overcome with numbers.
The ones that truly stood at the top, were few in number. They eventually increased, as time passed. Each one of them, lived their own lives. Be it, a life of violence, or a life of peace.
The world might not be as chaotic as it was, but chaos still roamed the world, with a smile as bright as ever.
Chaos never truly left the world.
Past events of creatures struggling for supremecy, were taught to the young ones. The past became a memory, and memories became legends.
The struggle for power never truly ended. If you look hard enough, or think hard enough, you will realize the constant struggle of power that are taking place in the world.
Royals, and nobles struggled for power. Neighboring countries, struggled for power. Individual people,and groups, struggled for power.
With power, many opportunities arise.
Many predicaments came into place, and ignited the passion, and longing, for power, inside others.
Poverty. Glory. Thrill.
As the struggle for power continued, many systems were created. For people that wished to test themselves, and improve, guilds were created.
A guild was a department that managed 'adventurers'. Adventurers are individuals renown for their courage. They fought threats, saving countries, and people. They challenged themselves, constantly. Dreaming, that one day, they too, will reach the top.
The military was also created, for those that wished to protect their loved ones with their strength.
One might ask, what is the point of being strong? Can't we all just live in peace? What is at the top? Fame, glory, or even self satisfication? What do you gain from being at the top?
Everyone has their reasons. Every goal, is fueled by something.
I want to protect my loved ones.
I want to feel the thrill of fighting strong people.
I don't want to kneel before anyone.
I'm bored.
I want to change the world
I want to unite the people.
I want to stand up for the weak, and protect them.
I want to live the dream.
Glory, awaits.
I want to carry out my revenge.
I won't forgive those that wrong us.
If you become strong, there is a higher chance of being able to achieve your goals. A few make it. Many, do not.
Would you risk your life to become strong? If so, why do you want to become strong?
A certain woman replied, "The thrill of fighting with your life on the line. The joy of meeting new people, making friends."
A wide smile appeared on her face. "They know, all them know."
She averted her gaze and stared at the table, with a nostalgic gaze. "The memories we make, the emotions we feel, and the experience we gain."
She raised her head, and stared at the being that asked her the question, with resolute eyes.
"It's fun."
