Chapter 38: Boring First Day...
Goddess Sylvia, the true daughter and successor of Goddess Tessia.
During the time of peace, seven gods existed, and one of them was Tessia, the goddess of life.
But soon, the days of peace came to an end, as one of the seven gods tried to take everything for himself.
He was later defeated along with his army and cast into the Nether Realm.
However, he still continued to haunt the world, and two thousand years ago, at the beginning of Goddess Sylvia’s reign after her mother’s death, the one called the Ruler of Darkness emerged from the Nether Realm, threatening to enslave the ancient race.
So in desperation, she, who had become the only god, used the essence of the other deceased gods to give her creations the ability to control the energy of the world.
That energy was later divided into two: mana and force.
The brave heroes of that generation fought fiercely, but they failed. However, each of those heroes ascended to godhood, as they had reached the peak of either the White Core stage or Supreme Rank.
After their deaths, the next generation took up the mantle. During that time, they counted each passing generation as "cohorts"—people who banded together for one goal.
After a long war, the goddess’s creations emerged victorious, and the seven heroes of that time created the seven races with the gifts granted to them by the goddess, who had now become the one transcendent being.
Since then, the world had remained in relative peace, evolving from counting cohorts to gangs to crews and finally to the era of generations.
Nathira’s history lesson continued. "Because of this, an ancient prophecy still lingers about the time when the Ruler of Darkness will be freed and the world will need a hero again."
