Prologue

In the beginning, when humans were birthed out of the will of existence, they wielded mighty powers that could go against gods.

They were unstoppable and were feared even amidst other races. The gods were cautious of them and sought to destroy their existence but it was impossible because whatever birthed the existence of humanity protected them even in their greed and the bloodbath it caused.

However, one day a strange man said, "I am not from your world, my world is called earth and I am from a city called Berlin."

With only that statement he presented the gods with seven great rings and disappeared.

The gods who were at the peak of power crumbled at the semblance this ring exuded immediately after the strange man left. They couldn't deny it, whatever the rings were made of was much mightier than them.

These rings made all things possible, even descending upon the world with mortals with their full powers and with the ring in their hands their strength grew in hundredfold such that killing these humans was like slapping mosquitos.

After the first destruction of humanity, the seven gods that were chosen to be the ring bearer got blinded by the power it carried and turned against the other gods.

The destruction covered the world like the dark clouds of a prelude to heavy rainfall. Every creation and every race was endangered as they were caught in between the WAR which was called WAR OF THE DAMNED.

After much sacrifice, the will of existence once again interfered. Even though it had the power to stop them. It had not the power to destroy the rings.

After creating humanity again, it dispersed the rings amongst them, sealing the power they lavish.

The story did not end there, even though the rings' true power had been sealed. Their mere presence granted an unexplainable feat to their surrounding. Such that war arose because of them.

Brothers against Brothers

Sons against Fathers

Families against families

Clans against Clans

Kingdoms against Kingdoms

Empires against Empires

Continents against Continents

Races against races

There was nothing that could make it go away, even the gods sought the rings by forming a pantheon and granting powers to people who followed them, all schemes whatsoever just for seven golden rings, or should I say seven golden rings and one silver ring but since the silver ring exuded no kind of power and was considered useless, no one gave a damn about it.

As a matter of fact, no one knew an eighth ring existed, not even the will of existence.

Anyway, the will of existence interfered again, this time dispersed the rings so far away they couldn't be found.

However the stains of their great power remain in the world today, and the strength they granted to humanity and other races continued to thrive in the world. The race that was created from their corruption till today strife to disturb the balance of the world.

Magic, exceedingly powerful ways of martial art, powers that make the ground tremble as if being threatened by an earthquake. This has been the result of the times both the gods and mortals spent with the rings.

Very few remember the rings, a little portion of those few seek to find them no matter what, another portion seeks to worship and serve them while keeping the secrets of their existence, and another portion of the little is working for a higher plane of existence, to retrieve it for them as a fulfilment of their service.

But one thing surely is; The world of Ceria is strong enough without the rings, the return of the rings would bring uncontrollable chaos to the flow of the world.
