Ages of Transformation
In the early ages of this world, history unfolded as a tale of strength dominating the weak. Different races inhabited various regions, and the powerful reigned supreme. Each passing era brought its own challenges, and the world underwent transformative shifts.
As time marched forward, dungeons emerged, altering the very fabric of existence. These enigmatic structures held both promise and peril. Upon entering a dungeon, people could gain an astonishing 300 years of life span. However, the monsters lurking within these dungeons were extraordinarily dangerous, demanding skill and bravery from those who dared to venture.
The struggle to locate these dungeons became a defining aspect of society. People yearned for the extended life span, yet the risks were undeniable. The delicate balance between life and death, hope and fear, shaped the landscapes of kingdoms and empires.
Then, a pivotal moment arrived with the overflow of dungeons, signaling a new era for empires and kingdoms. The world adapted to this paradigm shift, ushering in a period of unprecedented challenges and opportunities.
Amidst the struggles, the Karlugos Empire emerged as a beacon of resilience. Aiden's father, a man of extraordinary prowess, became the first emperor and the inaugural 6-star mage. His mother, no less formidable, achieved the prestigious Master Rank of Truth Seeker, earning a name that echoed with respect.
In the realm of magic, mages were classified into circles from 1 to 9, each circle representing a distinct level of power. The gap between these circles was vast, with a 9th circle mage standing at the pinnacle of magical mastery.
Sword masters, on the other hand, navigated three stages — Beginner, Intermediate, and Master. Each stage brought with it a unique set of skills, and the pinnacle of swordsmanship was embodied by the Grand Sword Master.
At the zenith of magical prowess stood the Grand Sage, an unparalleled figure capable of wielding the highest forms of magic. The harmonious balance between the Grand Sage and the Grand Sword Master was a testament to the equilibrium that defined the empire's strength.
Aiden's parents, leaders of the Karlugos Empire, achieved their prominence at over 140 years of age, a testament to the extraordinary longevity granted by the dungeons. In a world where peace had reigned for five years, they became the leading figures of their time.
Within this world, races coexisted in harmony — elves, dwarfs, fairies, humans, and demons. The once tumultuous relationships among these diverse beings gave way to a shared understanding, creating a tapestry of unity.
As the peaceful situation prevailed, Aiden, born at the ripe age of 170, entered a world shaped by the struggles and triumphs of his parents' generation. The Karlugos Empire stood as a testament to the resilience of humanity, a beacon in a world where every race found its place in the grand mosaic of existence.
