In a universe filled with hundreds of billions of galaxies.
In a remote and far distant space between these billions of galaxies, a dark space very slowly navigates the universe. It has been discovered because this area of the universe is particularly empty. no light, no stars, no world, no planets, nothing but pure darkness.
But unbeknownst to every living being in the universe inside this darkness exist a peculiar world.
The world call Hetrea.
Hetrea itself is the size of one of the biggest galaxies out there. A world so big that worlds on the outside are small like spect of dust.
The whole Earth may have been considered one of the tiniest most remote and barely consider an island on this world.
The continents of this world are innumerable like stars in the sky. Lands are vast and life is very abundant. In fact so abundant that it holds beasts and plants so big they can rivel the size of planets.
The mass of this world is something unimaginable. Having 7 atmospheric layers and 9 inner layers dividing the inner structure of this world.
The darkness around Hetrea is one of his atmospheric spheres which is unimaginably dense with gravity so strong that not even light can escape it.
Day and night may have been impossible if it wasn't for the atmospheric layers surrounding this world.
The 7 atmospheres are each measure in light-years. Some in tens others in thousands. every one of our atmospheric layers has a natural atmospheric seal or something similar to a tick barrier separating each layer Which separate them and locks them in place. It is very hard to cross them, each layer has its temperature too, going from outrageous heat to extreme cold.
That is why it has another name the heavenly seven layers.
The first 4 are quite amazing but also simple. But the last 3 are magical and extremely dangerous. But full of celestial treasures.
The 5th heavenly layer. Also called the Spaceso-sphere. It's the biggest layer of them all and It contains about 100 trillion stars. Some are closer in and some are farther away in the Spaceso-sphere.
The whole Spaceso-sphere actually Orbit Hetrea giving this gigantic world its day and night cycle.
The sun that shines on you today or the stars you see that night may never appear again above you in your lifetime.
The Spaceso-sphere looks harmless but is full of space cracks, areas where space folds, space wormholes. Toxic space gas. Each star having its temperature and gravitational pull. There are gravitational pockets that compress everything inside it to nothingness. space and gravitation expansion spaces that appear and Disappear randomly.
The Spaceso-sphere is also home to some star-devouring beasts, Celestial beings, and some mythical beasts.
Story's says about a gigantic star, the biggest, the brightest and hottest star Hanging above the Hreghen continent also known as the burning lands. It's the only star that is always there. The burning lands know no nights. And the star is rumored to be home to a flock of mightily Phoenixes that sometimes descent to Hreghen to lay their eggs.
This world is overflowing with life, energy, and power.
Beasts grow and evolve constantly. Where a forest can just grow and sprout overnight. Magical places appear out of nowhere. Oceans are immensely deep giving a home to the most terrifying and the most gigantic monsters.
This world is mother to thousands of races and millions of species. those species are divided into those who are born on hetrea or those whose world was integrated into Hetrea and with its Habitants migrating to it.
those who are not born on Hetrea are not favorite by her.
but those who are can receive a special power bestowed by her will. Not everyone, of course, only a select special unique being. these are called the chosen ones.
they appeared all around the world no matter their species or race. Each race has a different power system.
In this world also live humans. humans are native to Hetrea and also grew fast but still nothing compared to beasts. At the age of 15 most finish their education, From there you can participate in the awakening ceremony. If you do awaken you will most likely join the Military, a family, or an organization. Where you will follow training for another 4 years. Most Mary at 20 and build their own family.
Most Empires encourage their citizens to build a family before the age of 20.
In this world, women are highly valued. But Marriage is rarely based on love.
Females are the ones who chose who to marry. Most human females are Decisive, determent and strong-willed. At the age of 20 if they are not married the powerful families hold something called the marriage festival. It's a festival where all the most beautiful and powerful girls above the age of 20 are invited and the boys of the family are also invited. They will spend the whole day together, where they will talk, dance, eat, and have fun. at the end of the day, The girls will have a chance to declare their interest in whichever boy grabs their fancy. If the men disagree he can refuse. She can insist though, And you will need to fight her and win for his "freedom". It's more of an exchange rather than a fight. Even so, a man can have more than one wife. It's all about strength. This is a tradition of the holy continent. and other continents Associated with the union of governance adopted this tradition too. That doesn't mean it's like that on every continent. Because the emperor of a land is the one who makes the rules. But every human empire imposed marriage at 20.
Why all that craziness you might think? Well, because people die very easily, actually the death rate is very high, some times cities just get destroyed overnight.
Empires can disappear. And the population is very important to an empire.
A kingdom is a land owned by a king.
An empire is a land owned by an emperor.
It's easy right, but no.
it's not as simple as that, all in this world revolve around power. Not only the power to rule but also the power to defend. defend your land, your people, the power to protect those that live under your name.
The holy continent the strongest human continent has stipulated his rules on which one can be considered empire or kingdom.
The first requirement is the strength of the ruler or the ruling family. The second is the population. Each kingdom must have a population of at least a billion Habitants.
Each empire must have a city that can hold a billion lives and a military power of at least 10 million.
And also must rule over a minimum of 10 affiliated kingdoms.
The holy emperor The strongest human alive. has an organization called the union of governance.
Every ruler that wants any form of relationship with the holy continent must by rule first join this union. And must pay a price... A price in talents. Each year 10 of your best-talented children must go to the holy continent, be a student of the union and work for 50 years for the union.
The union of governance is considered the strongest human organization to ever exist.
Its influence extends to the whole human race. people of unimaginable power govern this union.
But you may think why should I join them?
Why? because humans aren't the only, nor the strongest race in this world. basically for protection.
the union promise to defend you and your land whenever you face a disaster. Any other land that isn't associated with the union will have to defend themselves and protect themselves from whatever disaster they may face.
One of the races that trouble humanity is the ocean-borns.
The ocean of this world is something let's just say of extreme proportions and those that live in it do not fall too far behind that Description either, in size and quantity.
Absolute strength matter but strength in numbers also matter.
The ocean is full of mysteries, is ever-changing, and full of growth and evolution. Treasures in the ocean are innumerable. Battles in the ocean are fierce, cruel, and bloody.
The ocean is about 65 % of this world. A gigantic mass of water Unlike those hundreds of thousands of continents shattered across the world. There is No place the ocean doesn't reach.
The ocean borns alone can exterminate the human race If they ever wish, and unite their power on the humans.
But Luckily they are divided and different sub-races fight each other. And This is Good. they are divided and have their own war going on, and humans have good relationships with some and fight wars against others.
We even helped them fight a war against themselves.
The insect race is also one of our biggest nightmares. They are also divided into different sub-races and also can be a big problem. They govern the inner layers of the world. The land under our feet. The inner world is also massive ... Very massive.
we humans live on the outer shell of the world. You can just imagine how big the inside is. That belongs mostly to the insect race. Wich is a war-driven race. Some other races live there too but much deeper. They also live under constant war with the insects.
Humans have only made contact with some races so far. some we are at war with and some we are friends with.
The beast race, the winged race, horn race, the plant race, the celestial race, dragon race, ethereal race, the undead, the elementals, the bug race, the ocean born, the beasts, the monsters, the tusk race, the elves, the dwarfs, Are some of the races that we know live on this world. and every other race in this world all have sup-races and their own living places. But all of them have wars For some reason or another. We humans have too by the way. That is why the union of governance is so important to human development. If humans want to ever rule this world humans have to unite. because United humans are strong.
