Word of ITHRA

Mikhaela Anteino Docere,or Zack was born in a different world called ITHRA,which lies in the vicinity of the great Nebulae of Krashak and has 15 different races maintaining complete stability over the common masses and protecting it from the cosmic forces outside of the planet ITHRA.

What was outside the planet of ITHRA?

No one knew and didn't even go outside despite some races being able to fly.

The entire planet is ruled by three factions namely the The Holy Faction,The Demonic Faction and The Demi Human Faction comprising of 15 different races all together.

Out of the three factions ,the Holy and Demi Human Factions are allied together against the Demonic factions ,however the Demonic factions make use of the humans volatile nature and cause havoc amongst them by enticing them with slave trading, blood rituals,slaughter and illegal prostitution, despite it being prohibited.

To protect the Holy and The Demi human alliance ,"The HOLY-DEMIHUMAN ALLIANCE"

or H.D.A was established to maintain peaceful relations between the common masses of both the factions and promote brotherhood amongst the talented younger generation.

In that tournament,The talented youths of all the Royal academies come together and fight each other and according to the positions each domain would get,each race gets to monopolize over the entire resources of the Great Eragor Forests over a tenure of 5 years each.

At the present moment,the Elves monopolize over the Resources.

Hence it was very big deal amongst some members of the major races. The race monopolizing the area would then get trading rights to sell their goods to all the other races of ITHRA.

It was a strategy which was used in order to avoid bloodshed after the Great Demon Invasion 1000 years ago.

However,even now the present stability was just a facade as the DEMONIC FACTIONS continue to plan world domination and complete monarchy over both the major factions of the world of ITHRA,by submitting themselves to the cosmic forces.

They want nothing more than War or Bloodshed.

Now including the Demons,there are 15 major races of the world of ITHRA,with other subdivisions in them.

Out of all the other races the [HUMANS] are the weakest and the most volatile of the races inhabiting the world of ITHRA.The humans hold significant power over the other races due to them being favoured by the Gods and Elementals of ITHRA.

They possess aptitude in both combat and magic and is regarded as the most balanced of the races present.

The humans are mostly hated by the other honourable races like the elves and Demi humans due to their crafty and vile nature,as a result they become enticing and easy targets for the Demonic Faction to corrupt.

However the most circulated and popular language is the Human Tongue due to their large population all across the world of ITHRA.

The are situated in the Northeast of the Great Eragor Forests,the majority being in the Saint Maeley's Theocracy.

After the Humans comes the [DEMI-HUMAN] race. Demi humans are generally a cross breed between the humans and beasts.They also possess greater body stats and better aptitude in the Arcane arts than humans.They are one of the most honourable and straightforward of the 15 races only being second to the elves.

However,despite being capable they can only weild their racial attributes which restricts them at only one elemental,whereas the humans,although rare ,are capable of weilding more that 4 major and 3 minor Arcane attributes.

Due to this limitation,most of them also practice body strengthening arts which along with the magical arts make them excellent Magic warriors and Assassins.Not that the humans aren't capable of weilding both,it's just that they make better ones.

They mostly dwell on the South-West of the Great Eragor forests in the Principality of Milis.

Then comes the [BEASTS] and as the name suggests ,the Beasts are the most simple and straightforward of the races ,with its hierarchy levels at two extremes points.

Most of them possess greater physical capabilities and better sensory perception but the only drawback would be their reduced intelligence.Most beasts cannot speak any language and can only communicate through beast contracts.However the beasts posses greater capabilities to evolve and as they progress ,their intelligence increases as well helping them take pseudo-humanoid forms which sometimes cause discrepancies among the beasts and Demi humans due to their similar physical features.

They have very close associations with the humans and Demi humans alike serving as beast companions in their early evolutionary years and powerfull and loyal retainers in future.

They mostly dwell In the vicinity of the Great Eragor Forests.

The [DEMON BEASTS] however are the Demonic variants of the beastial race.

However they are not included in the Demonic Factions due to their similar nature to the beasts.Most of them being mindless beings.

Due to being tainted by Darkness mana ,all of them experience tremendous amount of bloodlust which results in the seasonal beast tides every year. Due to being tainted by the darkness mana,they have their intelligence and potential growth reduced and only amount to mindless beasts meant solely for slaughter.

They also dwell In the vicinity of the Great Eragor Forests along with the Beasts.

Now comes the [SUCCUBI].They are the female only race full of alluring females with over exaggerated physical features.

Other than specialising in the darkness element ,they have profound mastery of illusion related spells and are powerfull tricksters,however the downside of them would be their below average physical capabilities which mostly occurs in their lower ranks.

The Succubus Queen Lilith,however, is rumoured to specialize in the MARAUDER class.

It is also rumoured that they are actually virgin maidens and only allow their female mates to mate with them and produce babies through artificial rituals.

Other than those,they are known to be quite cruel to men of all races as they suck out all the life force out of the males through their dream spells and leave them to die.

It is said that not even the Dragon King is immune the charm spells of the Succubus Queen Lilith.

There are male Succubus as well called the Incubus ,but most of the are killed on birth within the Succubus Domain or sold to high ranking males and females of other races as sex slaves.

Only the truly lucky ones manage to escape to the Domains of the Half-breeds and lead peaceful,somewhat human lives. Politically they are said to be quite the neutral species and don't interfere in the worldly affairs.They mostly live in close proximity of Dale,the last stand of the races combined,in a small domain called SUCC.

Then comes the[HALF-BREEDS] who are said to be the race of the disgraceful as they are actually cross breeds between two different species.

However they have higher physical capabilities and magical talent in the Arcane arts than their pure counterpart species.

Their domain mostly serves as a place for banishment or a place of refuge for such species.

They have amicable relations with both Demi humans and beasts but are frowned upon by elves and Dragons alike as the half breed variants of their race are also banished to such lands.

They are quite the neutral race and believe in leading peaceful and fullfilling lives rather than lives of war and blood shed in a small costal Domain called Mor.

The [DWARVES] comes next who are short statured humanoid looking species inhabiting the world of ITHRA.

The dwarves are a race possessing tremendous affinity for Earth,metal and fire elements and also make excellent blacksmiths.

Due to their short stature they are only capable of weilding The Guardian class and make excellent tanks in battle.

They are also a straight forward and honourable race and are very simple minded and hence are looked upon favourably by the HDA.

However due to their rash nature and tremendously straightforward attitude they become quite a difficult species to order around in battle.

The Dwarves have amicable relations with the elves and dark elves.

The Dwarven King is said to be the best blacksmith in the entire World of ITHRA.

The mostly live in the outskirts of the Great Eragor Forests inclose proximity of the Elven Domain.

The [DARK ELVES] are dark variants of the Elven race.They are super fast,agile and have higher physical capabilities and higher magical aptitude than most races.

It is said than even a little child of the dark elven race have better physical capabilities than the average demon beast or human.

The males and females of the Dark even race are extremely handsome and alluring respectively hence are subjected to discrimination and the unlucky ones are often sold as sex workers or slaves.

However despite possessing such abilities they are hated upon by their counter parts,that is the elven race ,for weilding the shadow elements.

They make excellent Assassins and are quite apt in their information gathering ability.

It is rumoured that the Dark Elven Queen also holds the Title 'AMARESATSU' ,also termed as the "The Shadow Queen".

They have neither aggressive nor good relations with HDA. They mostly dwell on the Out skirts of Milis quite close to the Great Eragor Forests.

The last of the race which Mika got information on was the [ELVES]and they are referred to as the Counter parts of the Dark Elven race and are the closest species resembling the humans.

They have excellent physical capabilities and enormously higher magical aptitude comparable to Dragons or even the Elemental King.They also make excellent Rangers and Archers and are quiet capable of weilding the wood and light element .They also specialise in healing magic and make excellent healers.They also make good alchemists and are capable of weilding more than 5 elements.

The elves are the most honourable of the races even excluding the primordial dragons due to their heartfelt loyalty to mother nature.

And due to their near perfect physical features and higher body stats they are quite the arrogant bunch and are imperialists in the real sense.

They hold bad relations with the humans and other races but have very good relations with the dwarves due to their similar upbringing.

The Elven Queen is actually the Half-blood-sister of the Dark Elven Queen.

It is rumoured that the Elemental king weilding the Element of Light is actually an High elf.

The have bad relations with the HDA.

They mostly live on the west side of the lands of ITHRA,occupying most of the land mass of ITHRA.They don't have speciallized name of their Domain and mostly like calling their lands as the Elven Motherland or [QUENYA] In the Elven Tongue.

Mika closed his eyes as he got no information about other races of the world and in particular,the Demons.

He had no information about their weakness or hierarchy as their was no information writen in the books or ..

His mother just didn't have them.

"Maybe knowledge about the Demons is not public language ,that way their is no recorded information."

"And what are these Elemental kings.?"

"Guess I'll have to visit a big library and get information from their archives as their are some information which are confidential and hidden from common masses. "

"But for that ...."

Mika held out his scrawny hands as he tried to reach out towards the dome shaped ceiling.

"I need power....",muttered Mika after finally closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

***

Inside a small and cozy cabin.In a small room.

Two figures lay completely naked as a beautiful blonde haired woman lay on top of a black haired man,who continued stroking her silky hair.

The figures were actually Phillip and Linda!

Linda kept her head on Phillip's chest while caressing his handsome face with her delicate hands.

However,Philip just looked outside the window towards the beautiful moonlight which shone through the dark room.

"She really isn't your child, right?",asked Linda in a meek voice while keeping her head down on his chest.

However in response to her question Philip just turned his head slowly to look at an adorable looking kitten purring on his chest.

He suddenly brought her face close to his and kissed her on her smooth lips before looking at her and saying.

"No..."

Linda blushed due to the sudden Invasion of his tongue inside her mouth and said in a low voice.

"Then who is she?"

Philip sighed.

Hearing him sigh, Linda's face became dejected but before she could say anything,Philip said.

"She....she...huff...she is the child of a friend I had adventures with.My friend actually made me swear to take care of her until she comes of age."

"But the reason she had to claim the title of the Bastard of mine is due to fact that her identity is quite high and if anyone found out,she could get excomunicated....so... I didn't tell you..."

"Linda....I love you....but after Mika became paralysed ,I didnt want to burden you anymore,that's why and if her identity is revealed..."

Philip paused for a while before saying.

"We all can die as well ....and I didn't want you or Mika to die....."

Just as these words entered Linda's ears ,she bit her lips as she jumped on her husband's chest and started crying profusely while staining his chest with snot.

"I'm..sorry...",said Linda in a low tone.

Hearing his wife's muffled crying ,Philip just smiled ,albeit faintly and continue caressing her dainty figure.

After some time ,Linda stopped crying and looked at Philip's blue eyes and said in a quivering voice.

"Everything's gonna be okay,right?"

And to answer her question, Philip held her and just looked outside the window and whispered.

"I hope so....."
