History of Myrniel

Two weeks have passed since Lucas managed to learn aura release. After that, he started sparring with William in the morning, and in the evening, Lucielle would teach him how to use and control mana, helping him master his elements.

William could be seen in a luxurious hall walking towards somewhere.

Sigh.

'The young master... He is a monster. Every time we spar, he gets better and improves without making the same mistake ever again. And I have heard from Lucielle that his lessons in learning mana and the elements are just as monstrous as his sword training...'

'I knew he was talented since my lord talked about him and his special talent and elements. I had never seen my lord so happy and excited, which I understood; we both loved to fight someone strong. And if my lord was right, then he would become one of the strongest in the future... But I was wrong.

He wouldn't become one of the strongest... He would become THE strongest in the future. It took me a whole week to learn aura release through constant practice, and my lord, who was considered back in his time, learned it in three days.

Yet... he did it on the first try. Fucking first try! Who does that? And after we started sparring, his progress just scared me! He isn't a monster; that is an insult to monsters! He is an anomaly! Something that shouldn't exist!'

'Well, at least I can rest today a little since the knights are doing well on their own, and the young master is forced to take some rest. It isn't good to constantly push yourself in training since rest is equally important. Madame and my lord are worried about his mental state a lot and forced him to go outside today with Lucielle... I have a bad feeling about this...'

As a viscount, Alexander Nightstar has a lot of responsibilities, one of which is managing the city they are in charge of, called Moon City.

Moon City is located outside of the capital but is an important city due to its abundant resources for mining.

The capital of Myrniel is named Zaphyr, where Shield Academy resides, and Lucas, at the age of 15, will have to attend for the next three years.

Even though we have statuses like Duke, Marquess, and Counts, that doesn't mean they are the only ones in power.

There are multiple guilds in this world as well, who have a lot to say. In this world, power means everything; if you have power, you have a say. You can't attain a status like Duke or Marquess if you are weak. The weak get devoured by the strong. It's the law of the jungle.

Myrniel is a strange world. 5000 years ago, this world was almost like Lucas's previous world, but then a calamity descended on Myrniel in the form of a white beam that destroyed multiple countries and killed millions of humans.

Dungeons started to appear in this world, and races from other worlds, like Elves and Dwarves, began to arrive.

Initially, we almost went to war with the Elves, but after much discussion, we managed to make peace and allowed the Elves to stay on Myrniel.

The same went for the Dwarves. Elves are kind beings but can sometimes be prideful since they have better connections than humans with mana. While Dwarves aren't the best at combat like Elves and humans, they make up for it with their intelligence in creating artifacts.

Just when it seemed like everything would be okay, the demons started appearing. They are a hostile race that only seeks destruction.

We don't know much about these demons—how many there are, where they are from, or how strong they are. We only know that they are dangerous and want to take over Myrniel.

The demons appear in strange ways. They don't come through a world gate like Elves or Dwarves but instead appear when a dungeon break occurs.

A dungeon break happens when no one manages to clear it and kill the boss monster within a certain time frame. When that happens, sometimes a demon seizes the opportunity and manages to come to Myrniel, causing chaos.

It doesn't happen always, but it does happen sometimes. The number or strength of the demons seems to depend on their strength and the level of the dungeon itself.

After realizing the threat posed by demons, the races decided to form an alliance. It often takes a common enemy for everyone to work together, and the demons were the perfect catalyst for unity.

The Elves began teaching humans and Dwarves more about mana control, while the Dwarves aided in advancing Elven and human technology. Humans made significant progress in technology, while Elves remained more inclined towards nature. Eventually, multiple races started helping each other out.

This alliance would be known as the Golden Alliance.

"Young master, are you ready? We should leave before it gets late," Lucielle's voice was heard as she talked to Lucas, who was changing in his room.

They were planning to go out today and enjoy the city and relax, since Lucas had been training nonstop, which worried his parents a lot.

Honestly, he didn't really think it was that taxing; he was fine with training more. But he didn't want to worry his parents any more than he already did, so to appease their minds, he decided to go out today.

The door opened, and Lucas could be seen finally done getting dressed to go outside. He couldn't just go outside in training clothes since he still was the son of a viscount and needed to maintain an image, which honestly Lucas didn't care about either. But again, he didn't want to cause any trouble for his parents.

"Well, I am done. Let's go, Lucielle," Lucas said to Lucielle.

Sigh.

"Yes, let's go, young master," Lucielle said while sighing.

"Is something wrong, Lucielle?"

"No, young master. Please forgive me. Let's go now," Lucielle said with a face that was hard to read.

Lucas narrowed his eyes in suspicion, but in the end, shrugged and let it go.

"Fine, let's head outside and have some fun," Lucas said while walking ahead, and Lucielle started following behind.

'Fun... I have a bad feeling that young master's idea of fun is a little different from normal people's. I hope there won't be any trouble. Ugh.'

(AN: Sorry for the info dump. I just wanted you all to have a better view of the world our protagonist lives in and the history of everything. I know this might seem inspired by a few novels, which, by the way it is, *cough*, but that doesn't mean it will have the same story. I will try my best to stay original.)
