Chapter 161: Ancient Heritage

Before human civilization appeared in this world, there was once a civilization even more powerful. However, for unknown reasons, that civilization vanished without a trace, leaving behind very few basic markers of its existence. Even the Elves knew nothing about the state of that civilization, as it appeared they arrived in this world only after it had disappeared. Yet, the occasional unearthed ancient relics all indicated just how powerful that lost civilization was, a level of advancement our world could never possibly surpass.

Several countries have attempted to recreate that past splendor by interpreting the unearthed findings. However, disappointingly, the power relied upon by that civilization far exceeded the understanding of humans. Without understanding the source of that mysterious power, all attempts at recreation were nothing but wasted effort.
