Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

In a parallel universe, on a planet just like Earth but one filled with many other races, magic, uncharted territories and untamed beasts there exists a country called Idopia (countries names have been changed) famously known as the Land of the Free or Land of the People. After a working class revolt that occurred in year XXA43 70 years before the initial timeline of this story the Tyrannical King was dethroned and The Council was formed, with an idea that is similar to democracy. During the initial years numerous beings from all the races started to migrate to Idopia after being attracted by the idea of having no King, the idea of a free state. Following Idopia another small kingdom where the king had oppressed the it's citizens fell to a revolt when a commoner of the a underprivileged class became a supreme mage, but unlike Idopia he took the throne and became the king.

Fearing their kingdoms would suffer the same fate many kings and queens banned any and all types of contact with Idopia.

The Council has a capacity of 347 people, most of them constituted of labor class representatives (from all the races) and the remaining powerful mages from all the races. The person at the helm, the Head Councillor would be chosen by the remaining councillors who in turn would be chosen through elections, where any person with the rights, living in Idopia can cast a vote.

The Council system was initially a success, the country was developing quickly and even managed to establish some trade connections outside the land. But then over the years the councillors greed started to grow they wanted power, they wanted wealth. Corruption started to grow and the roots of Idopia started to rot and by the present time Idopia became a political mess. Many Kingdoms then started showing support to Idopia preventing it's fall but at the same time trying leech resources from it.

Now, let's talk about the races, magic, beasts and the protagonist. This world consisted of three main races, Humans, Dwarfs and Elves. It is to be noted that there are further subspecies that will be introduced later in the storyline (like first elves and sky elves). All these three races co exist together with not much differences (other than the occasional racial fights) but there are also minor kingdoms that belong to just one particular race. These are also some minor races like that of the demons or fallen angels or bikoi, some of them coexist with the three main races while some either live in small settlements or in uncharted territories.

Now, the magic system, in this world the bodies of all living beings are a little bit different, other than blood and their veins carry another substance, Mana. It is known by different names in different parts of the world, Chakra in Idopia and the central planes, Qi in cheen and the eastern parts of the worl, Mana in some western parts and Aura in some western parts. This Mana when reached a certain level imbues markings on the heart of the individual and it is these markings that act as a symbol of one's level of profeciency. There are three divisions in magic in this world, Elemental magic , Existence magic and Advanced magic. Elemental magic and Existence Magic is something one is born with (affinity can be towards one or more).

Elemental Magic is divided into Terra (earth), Aqua (water), Pyro (fire) and Aero (air) Magic.

Existence Magic is divided into Cosmos (space), Chrono (time), Divine and Devil Magic.

Advanced Magic is a combination of elemental magic or in some special cases elemental and existence magic and is often learned by beings at later stages of their lives. Gyro(ice), Magma(lava), Metal, Blood, Electro, Toxic(poison), Chloro(plant) and Vibra(sound) are some Advanced Magic types (More types will be introduced at later parts of the story). Advanced Magic is something that is similar to a sub type for a being. They learn Advanced magic based on the affinities they have, for example high Pyro and low Terra affinity when combined gives Magma. Similarly when an individual with high Aqua and low Aero magic manages to fuse these two magics it will give rise to Gyro(ice) magic. Learning advanced Magic isn't compulsory to any character in the novel as all types the different magic are equally powerful with their own short coming.

Beasts/ Monsters are basically the animals of this world but as they access to Mana they also are different to the ones from Earth. They have a lot species some domesticated for various purposes while some through the chain of evolution have taken human like appearance (Beast People- won't come into the story till a later arc so no more explanation). Some beasts are tamed while some are hunted for their cores or hide or any other body parts. A lot of these beasts are very ferocious and strong.

(*_*) The protagonist of the story would like to say a few words.(Z: a lot)

" Hello everyone, I am Zeke Asad. My great grandfather was a patriot and he fought hard against the old king. After overthrowing the king he changed our surname to Asad which means Free. 0_0. My mums name is Zoe and dads name is Yoel. I have no siblings. Ooooo I have some really good friends one of them is a dwarf called Yigral and the other is a human Nick. I do have other aquitances but the author asked me to not reveal anything else. Oh I have affinity to ****** magic (A:you can't reveal it yet Zayn) and also a minor affinity to another element which you'll get to know in the next chapter. I am selfless when it comes to my family and friends but I am actually a very selfish guy :p I want everything. I am not really a fan of Idopia '_' it's rotting and a lot of talented individuals are leaving the country. Even I would want to experience other kingdoms (A: Idopia is referred to as country as it has no King) I have heard great things about those Kingdoms from my aunt who is a travelling addict. Idopia is biased to the so called underprivileged and it keeps making life tougher for everyone else. So I wanna grow strong and explore all the options that I will have in the future. Join me in my story to achieve... idk, idk what I want to do when am strong(A: that's me saying I have no clue what I will do with this story) but the road to grow strong isn't easy so let me grow strong first"

That's brief introduction to the protagonist, there will be other important characters which will be introduced slowly in the later chapters and more information about the hero and the backdrop of the story will also be slowly revealed.
