For countless ages, the four pillars of the world ruled: the celestial might of Angels, the dark cunning of Demons, the primal ferocity of Beasts, and the ancient majesty of Dragons. Amidst their incessant wars and power struggles, the true victims were the mortals—the humans—who suffered under the relentless, cruel savagery of the monsters. Where divinity and darkness had failed them, humanity found a final, desperate resolve. In an act that threatened to shatter the very bedrock of the cosmos, a single, nameless human—an Archmage—uttered the final, forbidden syllables of a world-ending incantation. This was a desperate spell, meant to purge the root of all monstrous cruelty from existence itself.

  Broken Equinox

  The result was immediate and catastrophic. Angels and Demons fled the land, their divine and infernal powers crumbling before the sheer magnitude of the destructive force. Beasts retreated into the deepest, darkest pockets of the wild, and Dragons—those ancient, arrogant masters of the sky—were struck down, their vast hearts stopped without a single breath of fire. But the Archmage's cataclysmic spell, unbound and raging, tore beyond its intent, threatening to consume the very humans it was meant to save. To stop the cleansing fire from turning into a final, total annihilation, the Archmage gave his life, bleeding his soul dry to seal the chaotic magic.

  The sacrifice was complete. The monsters were gone, the cost paid in the ultimate currency. The land was now silent, scoured clean, and wholly, terrifyingly, human at last.
