1567. Era of Kings.
Exactly one hundred years ago, the rate of rift appearance became abnormally high, and not even the academy and nations could do anything significant about it.
The most they could do was protect their citizens and kingdoms. And who could blame them? Even the great empire of Reimgard was limited in the things they could do to help independent areas, outskirts, and weaker nations.
A man rose from nowhere at the time. This man raised an army of drifters himself and began to lead them into rifts, plundering rift after rift.
And when people heard that this man was a Paragon, they fearlessly fought by his side.
Soon, he was respected across nations; weaker nations were under his dominance, and greater nations couldn't ignore his significance anymore.
All of them wanted him. They wanted the might of a Paragon. Not to mention, he was one hell of a strong man, who was not even intimidated by the Emperor of Reimgard at the time.
