Chapter 3: Chap 3
Billions of years ago the world was empty and there was only a large piece of land that today is known as the continent of Asy, that period of history was called the Divine period.
Sometime during that period 10 existences were born, they explored the continent of Asy, remodeled it and built as they saw fit, those 10 existences are known today as the 10 Gods.
In time, the gods made use of their immense power and created 5 five races in their image and likeness.
The humans. The Elves. The Dwarves. The half-humans and the demonic race.
Time passed and with the help of the gods the people prospered and populated the continent.
But as in the history of my world, the peace of Earth never lasted long.
Conflicts broke out, differences arose and after a while, war broke out.
At first the gods did not take it seriously and saw it as the arguments already known to them.
But this did not last long, some gods could no longer bear to see their creations die and ended up taking place with some race, taking care of them and protecting them.
Thus the first great race war broke out, called the Holy War.
During that war the gods noticed the weakness of the lesser races and in a pact between them decided to teach them how to handle the source of life.
The manna.
The duration is unknown, but even today there are traces of such an immense battle.
The power of the gods was so great that the mountains were divided, the seas were divided and the sky was turned upside down, in the end the great continent Asy, as well as its population, were totally destroyed.
When the war ended, the survivors created their new civilizations, advanced in their technology and culture, which ended up deriving in a new need for power and expansion, which ended at the beginning of the Second Race War, where the gods were not involved.
In the end, the war made the nations get to know each other and awakened in them the need to explore the known world.
That period was called the Great Period of Exploration.
At that time the first map of the world was established, containing the three discovered continents, to which no more have been added.
The Axe continent, which is the largest of the three and contains respectively the greatest variety of people, kingdoms and races. In total there are 5 kingdoms among which is the kingdom of Aren, home of the heroine Emilia Zeijrn and thus of Adad.
The continent of Separ, which is mainly inhabited by dwarves and dämonens, who live deep in the mountains, which are mainly the landscape of Separ, is also where the mountain of Tiefhimmel, the highest mountain in the world, is located.
The Ru continent. A continent that not much is known about, besides that it has the largest population of monsters and where most of the ruins of the holy war are found.
-Thud.
I closed the huge book in my arms and reflected on what I had just read.
I knew some of these things, such as the existence of races other than the human race, the three great continents, and the Holy War.
But unlike the game, where they are only briefly mentioned, the book helped me get a much better idea of my new world, its history and culture.
I continued browsing the large bookshelf, hoping to find a book that would teach me even more about where I am.
Fortunately and after a while I found a book of the same size as the previous one that had "Mana Explanation and Theory Volume 1" engraved on its cover in strange earth-like Amharic letters, which, for an even stranger reason, I understood perfectly.
***
The mana, the source of all life, was taught by the gods in the course of the holy war, in order to deliver to mortals the strength needed to protect themselves.
At the end of the war, the races made use of mana to facilitate their lives. Implementing it from the most everyday and smallest aspects to something as important as war. Looking for a way to facilitate the use of mana, the process of creating the Mana Core was discovered.
The Mana Core is taking the mana that is naturally housed in our body and combining it with the environment to form a small core where it is stored. By moving the mana from the outside and to the outside and vice versa causing more and more mana to be stored, this process is called meditation.
Mana is basically taking the power to change our environment and what surrounds us, the most basic forms that you can change are; Fire, water, wind, earth and they are called the elementals.
There are also other people who can control elements other than the elementals and are called deviants, which are ice, lightning, wood, sound, metal, light and darkness.
And there is also the sacred energy that is used to heal wounds, this is possible to reproduce thanks to the power of the gods that was dispersed in the environment in the form of particles and only a small part of the population can use it, those who use it are called Healers.
Now, to be able to use an element you need to have an affinity, that is to say, a natural talent. All people have a special affinity, which may be related in some percentage to your lineage and race, but mostly to your talent with each element.
All races can use the four elementals, but it is very possible that a human is born with a better affinity towards fire, in the case of elves the wind and dwarves the earth.
It should be noted that the race you were born into does not define your future.
In the case of demons, due to their great variety of races, it is not known to which element they are prone. And beast people, they are born with a great deal of physical strength and reflexes, but for the most part they are prone to their magical affinity is very low.
From what I read affinity was like studies and sports on earth.
Although everyone can study some may be better at physical activities and vice versa, whether on earth or in this world it all depends on how talented you are.
According to the book the world continued its course without any massive event, until five thousand years ago the first great continental war began. In which the man who changed the world became known as the Great Mage.
