In a world once ruled by divine beings known as the Celestia, the balance between creation and destruction was shattered when humanity awakened a hidden potential, one strong enough to challenge the gods themselves. To maintain control, the Celestia granted life to countless races — elves, devils, vampires, dragons — each crafted to suppress mankind’s rise.
