Chapter 7 New World 'Arcadia'

Many billions of years ago,

After a loud bang, many galaxies and stars were created.

Among them, there was a star named Sun in the galaxy named Milky Way.

That Star 'SUN' has eight known planets orbiting around it.

This includes four terrestrial planets

(Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars),

two gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn),

and two ice giants (Uranus and Neptune).

The Solar System also has nine bodies.

Generally considered as dwarf planets and some more candidates, an asteroid belt, numerous comets, and numerous icy bodies which lie beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Every planet has its own specialties.

And There was a planet called Earth.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. There are many reasons for it.

Earth, like most other Solar System bodies, formed 4.5 billion years ago from the gas of the early Solar System. During the first billion years of Earth's history, the ocean formed, and then life developed within it and soon there were living creatures on Earth.

Slowly they started their evolution.

And after many years, there was a new species called

'Humans.'

They slowly started to learn and they made themselves better over the years.

After many years, they became so developed that it can be called great progress.

Earth was on its way to developing into a technological civilization a few decades ago.

There were several wars between countries as well. However, that was rare.

But then the disaster struck.

Earthquakes, floods, droughts, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, and landslides were only a few of the natural disasters that were happening more frequently over time.

Many scientists believed that the lack of resources was the cause of this but that was only one of the factors.

even though they created rules and resource management.

However, none can triumph over Nature.

The catastrophe grew over time.

Still, that was only the start.

Within a few years...

A true danger struck.

It was an invasion by monsters.

Monsters were everywhere—they were swimming in the sea, descending from the sky, and even emerging from crevices in the ground.

They then began obliterating everything.

A horrific scene played out.

Even with current technology, humanity was unable to handle this, and around one-third of the planet's population was wiped out. However, this was not the end general consequences.

As someone once noted,

"Problems sometimes come in a package."

After that, there were also a lot of diseases. Many had suffered severe or incomplete injuries. Suddenly, additional fatalities occurred.

You can estimate that about half of the population of the earth perished based on the aftermath.

But gradually, some energy began to circulate in the Earth's atmosphere.

People called it 'MANA' and many people also started to get new 'superpowers' and 'abilities'.

These people were called 'Awakeners'.

While the majority of the surviving population got awakened, gradually they started the war with monsters.

That was called the 'Great Reshuffle'.

A fight for humanity. It took many sacrifices, the blood of many warriors, and years to take back some land from monsters.

After the war, mankind got some of their lands back. It may sound unbelievable but in this war, ten great commanders emerged among them.

They were called ten great heroes.

They contributed a major part to this war.

So people still remember to respect them.

But many people didn't get why this happened.

Why monsters came?

Why they got 'awakened'?

However, it was in the later plot that was revealed, It was because of the Collusion of dimensions. As it's a long story, we will talk about it later.

After this, people got adapted to their new life. Gates, dungeons, and monsters, these things became part of their daily life.

Some people also started group activities like Guild and Associations.

After some time, from some gates, new races like Elf, Dwarf, Beastmens, and Giants, started coming to the earth.

At first, humans were wary of them, but gradually from negotiations with them, it lessened. New races started living on the earth too.

Although there were some minor conflicts between some races however it wasn't that much trouble. With the help of new races technology development got a new boost.

However, everything changed when the one dangerous race came.

They were called 'demons'.

Every race has its traits.

(I am not being racist here. Mind you.)

Like elves, they are prideful and quiet.

Dwarfs are straightforward.

Giants are people who believe in strength and individuality.

But when it comes to demons...

They like domination and chaos.

So, once more, the sparks of war were ignited as all races were thrown into chaos.

This war continued for more than 10 years. The war ended and demons took 1/5 land of the earth, humanity got 2/5, and elves & dwarfs also got 1/5 part.

In the remaining part, there are minor race numbers. Beastmens like cat race, fox race, wolf race, etc...,

Giants who have large build compared to other races,

Sea folk in seas like mermaids, nagas, lamias, and Avians in their Sky city.

After this, all races signed 'The Peace Treaty'.

However, deep down all people knew that very soon once again there will be Chaos, war will come again and land will be painted with blood.

Now the world was going in a new direction that nobody knew. Even if people called it earth. It was not earth. It was the new world, 'Arcadia'.

But people will know that later on.
