Origins and Secrets(4)

The young man was comatose for about a 2 days and finally came about. The first thing he saw was that his wounds had been miraculously healed even without leaving a scar and he found two old parchments made from some kind of reptilian skin that he had never seen before. He looked around to find the old man who had saved him but couldn't find him. The young man's memory was fuzzy and all he could remember was a old man who transformed into light. It then dawned on the young man that he had been saved by god himself. The young man kowtowed nine times on the ground. He ignored his hunger and fatigue as he set about to build a small makeshift shrine below the tree he had laid.

The young man's name was Hwan. He was the lone survivor of the defeated army , he who was saved by the grace of god(or so he believed) went back to his kingdom. Though he was a ordinary soldier he practiced the cultivation technique and the body refining technique left behind by god to become a leading figure in the military and within a decade he managed to become the commander of his kings army and defeated his enemies and washed away the shame of their previous defeat.

Due to his contributions Hwan was made a aristocrat and given a piece of land but Hwan asked for the piece of land where he had previously built a shrine.

Hwan and his descendants served their king faithfully to this day but Hwan never spoke about his godly encounter, he made his descendants to practice the secret martial arts provided by the god.

800 years later the Hwan family birthed Hwan Lee who will transmigrate to the magical world of Thetes.

Alfred did what he did on a whim, there were no other motives but his actions created an unexpected situation, which even he was unaware of. The DD formula and the Titan's might were both high grade techniques that can only be cultivated by a specific body type or you can say the 100 % benefit is only obtained when these both were practiced by a person with the Draconic physique. If others practiced these methods not even 10% effect could be obtained. Hwan the founder didn't have the required physique and only benefited 10 % power of the method but it was itself enough to make him a peerless martial expert. The piece of soul that Alfred fused with Hwan didn't disintegrate but rather fused permanently with Hwan's soul and it remained dormant until the birth of a successor with the Draconic physique(Hwan Lee) and when he died the remnant soul had made him transmigrate to Thetes to become a member of the Farlorn family before disintegrating permanently.

........................................

Situation in Thetes after Alfred's disappearance :

The 5 elite class dragons failed to stop Alfred and could only regret not acting earlier. They decided to continue the war with the humans but since their forces were nearly extinguished with only 5 experts remaining they ended the war within a few years. They would have ended the war immediately after Tover died but the humans might think that the dragons have been weakened and may become cocky so they stopped the war only after 3/4 th of the original human population died. The Dragons also suffered but not to the extent of the humans. The 5 elite class dragons formed an organisation called the magic beast alliance and retired to a smaller area with rich mana concentration , the humans even though could rival the elite class monsters didn't act as they were not naive and patriotic as Alfred Farlorn and chose to establish their respective kingdoms in the newly reclaimed lands. Soon they started fighting amongst themselves and from the ashes of the war 3 large feudal kingdoms were setup, they were Saurd, Kern and Britania. Each kingdom had numerous powerful families acting as the kingdoms legs and arms. The royal families restricted the circulation of high level cultivation techniques and resources to quell rebellions etc.

Just as peace and stability returned to the humans the magic beast alliance decided to give freedom to the demi humans/ beast kin. These bunch of animals only respected strength and they were sick and tired of serving the mighty dragons so they wanted to establish their own alliances and countries and tried to enslave the humans. These new development helped maintain the balance of power between the various races and it has been awfully quiet for the 800 years until the various powers divinated the rises of a new hegemon.
