Chapter 17: The Secret of the Daemos Race

"Greetings Ascalor, my name is Equinox. I have come to seek your guidance in order for me to become stronger." Adrian said.

Ascalor nodded as he was impressed by Equinox's politeness. He then told Equinox the story of the Daemos race.

"Young one, in order for you to become stronger, one must know thyself. Be attentive and listen carefully for I will tell thou a story on how we ,the Daemos, came to be." Ascalor said with a serious face. He then continued " In the beginning there was nothing, no light, no darkness only absolute void. But from that void came a spark. A singularity thought to not be possible. The spark then gained sentience and looked at the void and felt lonely. From then on the singularity collected its essence and magnified it to fill the void in its heart. From there, it started to shape the the universe. Worlds of different beauty and danger yet still devoid of life. The singularity instinctively knows that if it sprouted life that life would be stagnant and unchanging that the universe itself would reject that notion. Thus the singularity forced itself to split into two which resulted in the birth of the Twin Gods, Gaea the goddess of life and Abaddon the god of death. The energy that birth the Twin Gods was so enormous that the residual energy that touched an element sprouted the elemental gods that supported the singularity's creation. The Twin Gods then together created the first beings, the Asmodians, tasked to keep natures balance for the gods themselves cannot proactively be in the world for it will not bring harmony. After the Asmodians was created then came the other inhabitants. Gaea created all living things and Abaddon implemented change in the form of death. For life can only prosper if given a purpose. Life and death an endless cycle of change given by the Twin Gods in order for the world to continue moving and never stagnate. The Asmodians held to their duty of safekeeping the harmony of the world while some ascended into godhood. The remaining though managed to find happiness from the inhabitants of the world resulting in the creation of the five races Jötunn, Faekin, Erebian, Selvaggian and Daemos." Ascalor paused then continued speaking.

"But peace did not last, as if tearing through the fabric of reality came what we call The Corruptants. Monsters of indescribable forms and horror that tainted the harmony of the world. The Asmodians did their best in defeating the invaders but they ultimately fell in battle. Though defeated, the Asmodians managed to seal the most powerful of the corruptants. The inhabitants of this world, Nebulon, managed to fend away the weaker Corruptants but it also decreased the population. After a couple centuries, the world's population has started to recover but the greed of the other races got the better of them. Empire rise then fall. Unable to hide their jealousy of the Asmodian descendants, they pointed their weapons at us which forced us to go into hiding."

Adrian was astounded to hear the backstory on why the five races was not written on the official history of the world. They were once inhabitants of this world but was written of as monsters to be slain. Ascalor then explained that due to the Daemos race being able to use Origin Magic, they managed to flee their pursuers by going inside a pocket dimension which was now called the Paradox Plane.

Ascalor then looked at Adrian with a serious expression.

"You, young lad, are closer to our ancestor Asmodian than any of our Daemos brethren. You have the characteristic blue hair with white locks that indicates that you are closer to an Asmodian than the rest of us. The Asmodian were famed for their snow white hair and horns that is almost reminiscent of a crown." Ascalor proclaimed to Adrian.
