Once all people received Souls and incredible powers. Some were lucky enough to obtain the Soul of an ancient and powerful creature, but fate was not favorable to all. The world began to change, and creatures evolved. But, it was not the beginning of a new era. It was the end. A couple of months later, a dark mist appeared and destroyed the world. It was a dictate of destiny from which no one could escape. Wain Norheim was the world's best assassin and the only one who didn't get a soul. However, he was destined to gain the power to confront fate. Escaping through a portal into another world, he unknowingly began the apocalypse. Even the world failed to expel him.
Unlike the humans, all other races needed to accumulate energy to become stronger. Not everyone became a warrior, as it was a difficult path that not everyone could take.
Usually, only people from rich families tried to become warriors, but not everyone could do it. Money, the experience of strong parents and mentors, and a lot of time made rapid progress, but it was not enough.
Anyone who wanted to become a warrior and follow this path had to be prepared to fight to the death and put their life on the line. It was a serious challenge.
Many nobles could reach the First Chronicle or even the Second Chronicle in a short time, but in a real battle, they could lose to opponents who were many times weaker than them.
In general, Second Chronicle was the limit for those who couldn't find the strength to enter into mortal combat because to achieve the Third Chronicle, one had to create Martial Essence.
