Chapter 1: A human among witches
In a hidden corner of the world, deep within a vast forest nearly as large as the Dark Forest, lay a secret refuge for witches.
The witches were once ordinary humans. Centuries ago, they were a powerful clan that did not rely much on Creation. Instead, they focused on technological advancements.
However, their superiority placed the other kingdoms at a massive disadvantage, forcing them to unite against the clan. Branded as witches, they became the enemy.
A brutal war followed. Though the witches fought fiercely, their resources and manpower dwindled daily. Eventually, the combined forces of the kingdoms emerged victorious, slaughtering countless witches. Yet, as always, some survived.
The survivors knew they could not rebuild their civilization as before. Instead, they chose to continue their legacy in secrecy, hiding in remote corners of the world—places where no one would think to look.
This particular clan found refuge deep in a massive forest. From the outside, it appeared dark and menacing, deterring any who dared approach. But within, it flourished as a well-structured community, divided into four main section .
The East Side: Hidden deep within the forest, where they built a village for daily activities.•
The West Side: A farm where they cultivated vegetables, fruits, and livestock to sustain themselves.
• The South Side: A training ground for combat and witchcraft, where they tested their new advancements.
• The North Side: The only area where humans sometimes wandered close. To keep them away, this section was left untouched—home to wild animals and beasts.
Even before the witches arrived, this land belonged to the creatures, and rather than driving them out, they chose to coexist.
