"The Fated Rival of the Moon"

The World of Eldoria

The world of Eldoria is vast, filled with towering mountains, endless forests, and deep dungeons that hide ancient secrets. But at its core, power defines everything. Strength is not just respected—it is law. From the mighty kingdoms of humans to the hidden sanctuaries of elves, from the underground cities of dwarves to the dominion of dragons, power is the force that shapes history.

The Two Paths of Power

All living beings who seek strength must walk one of two paths:

1. Aura – The Path of Warriors

Aura is the energy that enhances the body and empowers weapons. It is the foundation of all warriors, knights, and martial artists. Unlike mana, Aura does not rely on external energy but instead draws upon the user's own physical and spiritual will.

Beginner Aura (Level 1): Considered an impossible milestone for talentless individuals. Many never reach this stage.

Aura Level 10: A realm of demigods, where one's presence alone can shake the battlefield.

To awaken the Aura of a Weapon, one must have absolute mastery over it. A sword, spear, or bow must become an extension of the warrior's soul before it gains its own Aura.

2. Mana – The Path of Mages

Mana is the power of magic, flowing through the world like an unseen river. Mages refine it within their bodies through a process called Mana Circulation.

Each cycle around the mana heart determines a mage's level.

First Cycle (1-star Mage): The beginning of a mage's journey.

Ninth Cycle (9-star Mage): The highest recorded level, only achieved by a few in history.

Mages must train both their minds and bodies. A weak body cannot withstand a large mana pool, which is why even powerful mages must have strong endurance.

The Fundamental Elements of Magic

Mana is divided into several elemental affinities. A person's natural affinity determines what magic they can use.

Primary Elements:

Ignis (Fire) – The flame that consumes all. Explosive and destructive.

Aqua (Water) – The flow of life and destruction. Can heal or drown foes.

Terra (Earth) – The foundation of strength. Can create walls or crush enemies.

Ventus (Wind) – The blade of the sky. Enhances speed and controls the air.

Advanced Elements:

Glacius (Ice) – A fusion of Water and Wind, freezing anything it touches.

Fulmen (Lightning) – A fusion of Fire and Wind, striking with blinding speed.

Gaian (Metal) – An advanced form of Earth, used for weapon forging and armor.

Umbral (Darkness) – A forbidden element, feared for its ability to consume light.

Lumen (Light) – The divine force, used for healing and purification.

The Forbidden Powers: Light and Darkness

Light and Darkness are considered primordial elements beyond mortal control. Only those with extreme talent—or a divine lineage—can wield them.

Lumen (Light): Grants immense healing and purification abilities. It is said that the Velmira Royal Family has a connection to this power.

Umbral (Darkness): A force that corrupts and devours. Those who use it are often hunted as heretics.

The Strongest Beings of Eldoria

Even among powerful warriors and mages, some beings exist beyond human limits.

Dragons: The apex predators of the world. Each dragon is a calamity in itself.

Elves: Masters of nature and long-lived spellcasters. Some hold the bloodline of ancient gods.

Dwarves: Unmatched in crafting and metal manipulation, wielding weapons infused with mana.

Demigods: Individuals who surpass mortal limits. They are said to be the bridge between gods and humans.

The Cycle of Power

Eldoria is a world where the strong rule, and the weak perish. Strength is the only truth, and those who cannot adapt… will be left behind.

And now, Azrael Kaelthorne has entered this world. A world where he is fated to die.

But fate is meant to be defied.
