Chapter 1: The World of Creatures
"Ten thousand years ago, the creatures appeared," the teacher's voice echoed through the grand hall of Nova Astra Academy. His sharp gaze swept over the young students seated before him, their faces filled with both curiosity and unease. "Since then, they have roamed our lands, shaping the history of the world itself."
The large map behind him displayed the vast continents, marked with regions controlled by various races. He pointed at a section once known as Human Dominion—now nothing more than fragmented territories.
"For centuries, we have fought. We, humans, were once rulers of these lands, but the creatures—beasts of untamed power—challenged our dominance. We built cities, forged weapons, and stood our ground, yet they endured. And so, the war continues."
A student raised a hand. "Professor Alden, what about the other races? Do they also fight against the creatures?"
The teacher nodded. "Yes. The world is not only ours to claim. Dragons, demons, orcs—they all seek dominion. Each race desires to conquer the world, but only one can rule in the end." His voice grew firm. "That is why we must reclaim what is ours. We are not the only ones with ambition, but we must be the ones who succeed."
The bell rang, signaling the end of the lecture. As the students murmured among themselves, a sense of both fear and determination filled the room. The battle for the world had long begun, and soon, they would take their place in it.
