Since the very day the black pillars descended from the broken heavens. The Elven race, which barely survived, later created the Nexus Calendar, which counted the years from that day. Decades had passed since the day of that calamity, which changed this continent forever. Around 40,000 nexus years, the first dragon had appeared.
On the 50,000-year mark. The first human slaughter had occurred. In another 5000 years, Demons emerged from the repeated slaughter of humans. Humans, after that, finally had room to breathe and grow. For 10,000 years after, the war between demons and dragons continued to grow in scale and intensity slowly. Demons would lose most of the time, but not without giving the dragons a proper fight. Finally, on the 65,000th year, the first dragon was killed. Not just any dragon, but the son of the strongest dragon of that time, this feat was accomplished through a long-term plan and an ambush by the demons.
