Introduction to the world (1)

After completing her transformation, Ayaka realized she was naked, causing her to shout and quickly crouch down to hide herself, blushing intensely as she gazed at Kaylessa. Witnessing this, Arlyana simply chuckled and gestured to bring back the fairies with a snap of her fingers.

The fairys gazed at Ayaka briefly before starting to create a new costume for her, using her as a model. Within a short time, Ayaka was dressed in a complete Miko outfit, with her hair styled into a ponytail using a small tinkerbell as a hair tie. 

Ayaka was happily looking at her latest outfit when suddenly Kaylessa unexpectedly tugged at one of her fluffy black tails, causing Ayaka to tense up. However, she didn't blush this time, as her face was already as red as a tomato from embarrassment. 

Arlyana was unable to stop giggling as she watched her daughter, but she eventually intervened to prevent her from startling little Ayaka with a heart attack. 

"Now now, don't treat Ayaka in such a disrespectful manner; you should always seek permission first before doing anything, my playful little one."

"Sure, I get it, mom. Please let me go. I can stand up on my own."

Kaylessa was surprised to find herself being held, and she felt her face flush with embarrassment. 

"I don't want to."

Arlayna said, smiling at her blushing daughter and playfully poking her with her finger.

Once she was done playfully teasing her daughter, she moved towards her bed and gently placed her daughter on it, joining her and lying down as well. She then made a gesture to Ayaka, indicating that she should also come and join them on the bed. 

"And that's exactly what she did. As the trio settled on the bed, Arlayna brought them close to her face. Ensuring their comfort, she then pondered and made a decision on their next course of action." 

"Pay attention, my children; as your mother and master, it is my duty to educate you on the world and its potential hazards." Arlayna, with her gentle tone, chose to share a small bedtime tale to describe the world.

"Centuries ago, in the realm of Dal'ieth, harmony prevailed among all the different races and their deities. Although conflicts did occur occasionally, they were kept in check due to the fear of facing divine retribution from the gods of rival races."

"But like all things, nothing is permanent, and eventually, tragedy struck. Strange creatures of various shapes and sizes began to emerge and assault all living beings on Earth. Initially, they posed little threat as we were stronger than them." 

"In under 3 years, the initial disaster took place, marking the demise of a young deity from a particular race, leaving the entire race vulnerable to terrifying creatures without divine protection.".

"It was the initial occurrence of a titan manifesting on Dal'ieth, a colossal being standing at a height of 100 meters and possessing a body similar to that of a lion and skin as dark as night. As it moved, the titan spread corruption across the land, leading to the emergence of even more terrifying creatures.".

"The deities, furious over the loss of one of their own to these beings, united in anger and summoned all the different races to partake in a sacred battle against the horrifying creatures. Even the devil deities put aside their differences to combat these unwitting beings." 

"The initial crusade achieved its goal by defeating the lion-like beast and its horrifying army of creatures. Although we emerged victorious, the sacrifices made during the battle were so significant that they cannot be considered a true triumph. Numerous high deities perished, and multiple races were completely eradicated.".

"Now the true horror of these creatures has become common knowledge. Ever since that creature was defeated, there has been nearly a century of peace, but as usual, peace is always temporary.". 

"The appearance of those terrifying beings was once again documented, causing concern among the population. However, this time we were prepared to confront them, leading to the initiation of a second Holy Cruzade. We believed we were ready to handle anything those entities could throw at us... or so we believed."

"Seemingly taunting our efforts, six large clumps of dark mud plummeted from above. When they finally landed, they stood at a towering height of 100 meters, appearing as pitch-black beings in various shapes. It was unmistakable; these were six new Titans."

"Terror gripped everyone to their core; considering one had the power to slay over half of the top-ranked deities, the potential of six was unimaginable. However, it was at that precise moment when your grandfather, the celestial god of lightning, fearlessly rushed towards the titans.".

"Witnessing this, the bravest among the young deities decided to join him. Along with the fighters from our tribe and the legendary warriors from different races, they all charged forward, not devoid of fear but filled with determination. There is no fiercer warrior than one who has a reason to fight."

"The war was harsh and savage; for every titan injured, more terrifying beings emerged. Before long, a horde of dark creatures encircled the deities and their troops, resulting in everyone's demise; only your grandfather remained. I observed his final moments; he had a grin on his face as he faced the titans and their armies.".

"After your grandfather was murdered, they began approaching me, a young deity, causing me to flee; hence, the second sacred crusade became infamous as the accursed crusade. The existence of gods in the world is uncertain, and I choose not to reveal myself to the world; I'm like a guiding light to those beings."

"Upon my arrival, they resume their movement towards me; although the reason eludes me, I have little desire to uncover it. Following the conflict, they relocated to six various locations and remained stationary, as if anticipating something.".
