Prologue

  The "Marcynian Forest". Was a very dark forest. The black and brown thorns wrap around the forest was, almost like teeths waiting to tear at you. The tree's seem to close in, choking out the light and letting the fog roll around like a breath. It was known as a to have different monsters lurking around in the dark it was clearly a place no human stepped foot in. Even outside that forest the world was amidst in choas.There were unsuited rulers. It lead to large amount of wars all over the world, however amidst all that there was a tree that blossomed deep inside the Marcynian Forest. This tree wasn't any ordinary one.

  In a world full of war, crime and injustice with multiple different races that was a giant tree that came in to existance. The tree was known at first as a curse it was labeled as a catastrophe, suprsingly after a few years the the tree gained a new meaning and slowly it's name and reputation slowly changed.There was a distinguishable key features about the tree for example it's height. To put it in perspective it was easily over a few thousand meters tall and it's shadow could cover a few small countries. It had three different coloured leafs, white, green and brown. The Tree's leaf itself could cover villages with ease. The brown coloured leafs looked like an ocean of honey with bits and pisses of little gold ingots. Those brown leafs even become the national symbol of continent south of The Tree "meridiem." it even also worked like currency. Even the emerald green leafs were able to turn neon green or blue in the dark. They were even used as lanters at night time for adventures.

  There were loads of races but out of all of them the four main ones were the Beastmen, Humans, Elves and DwarfsThe elves and the humans never liked eachother. Between them was a deep hatred it was like a fire with an infinite amount of fuel that keeps on burning.They always were able to find more reasons to hate eachother. The main reason why they dont like each-other is due to their charactaristic. It was simply due to the fact that elves peaceful nature and The humans choatic nature couldn't mix together, furthermore the fact that the humans greedy side and the Elves and ascetic side could not interweave together, it was like mixing oil and water. It possibly could not happen, it was pointless to even try.

  The elves lived by two main codes, the first one is quite obvious "One shall not eat meat." the elves never liked killing living creatures for the sake of their on self fulfilment and due to that reason the elves were vegan but also the closest beings to the Tree which leads to their civilization living as close by to the tree as possible.

  The second code it even more straight-forward and obvious, "Nature comes first." For the elves nature is and will always be there homes so it wasnt really a suprise that they value it that much. This code was mainly used to protect nature, however due to this, it lead to multiple instances of it being abused by other races mainly humans in the war. This lead to instances of unneeded bloodshed. The elves are very stubborn, they lost loads of their men in the war and didnt bother to as for help.Some people have diffrent opions on this though. The main two were, one: their too prideful and arrogant due to the fact they can age up to a thousand and are very intellegent, however their facial features and body wouldn't age as much.

  the other opinion was that due to their second code and were afraid to ask help was to make sure the plants and nature wasn't ruined. This didn't help, it was rather detrimental for the nature as the war continued for a long period of time. It would've changed the outcome if they had asked for help. But thats my opinion

  The only race which were more prideful than the elves were the dwarfs. It was as if pride and arrogance were all they got teached growing up. They're ruler was corrupt which lead to lots of contreversial things happening because of him.But anyways they were known for the legendary blacksmith abilities and their well known prince "Strix Del Grace". The man was a really remacable blacksmith and swordsman, he let their to victory in many dungeon raids and he was known for his impeccable problem solving skills and monarch qualities (and his fancy beard).The dwarfs were very kind hearted if you truly get to know them, however not many were welcomed by them due to the king's pride. He let to useless blood-shed in the war. And wasn't even supposed to be the dwarf king, he was a despical man, killing his 6 other siblings and any other blood relatives just incase they gott in the way of him becoming the monarch, because of this he gained the title as the "Blood king."

  The beastmen on the other hand were very neutral, however they were very split apart. their race has split to three different catagories, Sky, Land and Water. And there's atleast two main branches. In every catagory but we will only be talking about the main four.The one with the most intellegence out of the three, however are the fourth strongest with the highest population are the Lizardmen their habitat are usually in swamps and muddy places. However dont let them fool you. Their slippy slime like body and their quick adaption ability to gaining Patrimony* skill: [Cognition]

  The second are the Werewolf. Their fast and tenacious nature led them to being the most choatic out of the four, however they had an unique charactaristic leading them to having an Patrimony* skill called [Beserk] this skill completely converts all Physical damage of attacks to Magic damager. However this leads them to getting in a frenzy state and losing life force slowly.

  The third race is the hawkmen. Their distinguished by their massive wings and their eagle-like eyes. Out of the four their the best in terms of archery and their the most combitable with the wind their unique Patrimony skill and title: [Familiar Of The Sky]. The skill lets the user be more familiarize towards the element: Wind, and increase their compatibility with it. The skill also lets the user essentially let them become as fast as the wind.

  The fourth sub-race are part of the water. Their known to be very rare but have the most raw strength out of all the beastmen and its the Sharkmen. Their compatibility with their element without a skill is the best one out of all main four sub-races. And ontop of that their strength is the best out of the four. Their high level of compatibility let them to gaining an Patrimony skill and title: [Familiar Of The Sea]. The skill lets the user be more familiarize towards the element: Water and increase their compatibility with it. The skill also lets the user essentially let them move like the Water.

  Fast forward. After the war there was an Era of peace. The four main races gathered around The huge tree in the elven city, "Asyelon". The city itself is a true beauty in itself, however with the huge tree that ulliminates light it was safe to say it gotten even more astonishing. The Four race came together with their leaders to celabrate the tree's birth and to hold a big festival. Strix Del Grace the dwarf king, Arthur Pendragon the human king, Zorax the beastmen king and finally Gael Jhaan. They all came together for this huge festival. it incited peaces between the races and showed that there can be peace.

  The festival continued for three days and three nights. On the Fourth day there was somethings strange that the beastmen King Arthur noticed. The only leaf that was used as accessories, the white leaf. Its light slowly deminished and turned dark. and so did the days.

  Upon realising this King Arthur rushed to tell the three other rulers about what he discovered. The beastking ran all over the city to find the three rulers but couldnt find them.

  as his last resort he went to the Round Table* room King Arthur rushed in great hurry as he feared something has happened. As he rushed he saw Zorax, covered in blood with the two other rulers heads on the round table. Covered in blood Zorax laughed. "You're late Arthur." said Zorax in a deep chilly voice. Zorax suddenly attacked Arthur. Arthur unshielded his blade "Durendal."

  The battle was fierce and it shook the city as two S class masters started fighting. Every time Durendal connected with Zorax claws it created shockwaves. In the first five minutes of the fight they had split the sky in two with only their blades connecting. the second five minutes they made natural disasters and then in the third and last five minutes they had already torn the city in two pieces. Which were later known as Troj and An. They became two seperate cities and started their own seperate kingdoms in a few hundred years time.

  In the end King Arthur was the victor and was crowned as a hero for uniting and saving the world from the evil king Zorax.
