1 Prologue - Shadows of Nova Ethera
In the ancient epochs, before mortal footprints graced the earth, beings of unimaginable power reigned supreme—the Prime Daemons. These omnipotent rulers crafted and shaped reality itself, revered as gods in their heyday. Yet, the passage of time eroded their once-unassailable might, leaving them vulnerable to the throes of mortality.
Struggling against their limitations, the Prime Daemons succumbed to vices mirroring mortal struggles. Thus, from their enigmatic existence emerged the world of daemons—a realm where the line between living and inanimate blurred, and dark matter wove its tendrils into reality.

Dark Matter and Daemon Hybridization:
The daemonic essence, dark matter, catalyzes transformation yet poses mortal peril. Exposure usually proves fatal, but rare individuals, like Noah Solis, adapt, becoming daemon hybrids. Touched by Morael's celestial influence, Noah embodies an Astra Daemon, setting the stage for intertwining mortal and daemonic destinies.
In the wake of Prime Daemons' decline, daemonic realm bleeds into reality, shaping destinies of humans and daemons. Noah's tale is one thread in this tapestry, where boundaries blur, and ancient forces vie for supremacy.
