The planes were a really strange place—a place that stood between the realms of the living and the dead.
While it was much closer to the realm of souls, it also had deep connections with the realm of humans.
Demons were very much like normal humans. In fact, a few had no distinct features different from humans—in terms of appearance—but even then, demons hungered for something more than just food, like normal humans.
They wanted power. Their undying taste for it was what built the powerful hierarchy of the demons.
In the demon realm, there were five major races that actively ruled the entire six planes. One of them was the Zhuraks—the weakest among the rest. However, this wasn't true for the one who stood before them.
