On the sixth orbit of a distant galaxy, there once lay a planet known as "Akaser." It was the cradle of the most brilliant of human civilizations, where towering spires pierced the clouds, quantum networks connected the skies, and artificial intelligence and genetic engineering made humans believe they had touched the edge of divinity.
Until "they" appeared.
What was supposed to be a simple military project to enhance animal capabilities through genetic experiments unexpectedly gave birth to a race of intelligent beastmen. Their physical prowess far exceeded that of humans, and their intellectual growth was beyond expectations. In just a few decades, humans went from rulers to prey. Those cities that once dominated all life became the kingdoms of the beastmen.
Facing the threat of extinction, a group of humans, led by the commander Ivan Hurst, escaped Akaser aboard the ark ship "Luminous." Traversing interstellar dust clouds, they landed on an uncharted planet—Eramia.
Eramia had no cities of steel and machinery, only serene, pure lands and endless forests. The indigenous inhabitants—the Elves—lived in harmony with nature, possessing the power to resonate with life itself. They needed no machines, for the wind sang to them, the water guided them, and the trees sheltered them from storms.
To the Elves, the arrival of humans was a disaster. With language barriers and vastly different behaviors, humans were seen as invaders. Conflict was imminent until the Elven High Priestess, Celine Isara, emerged from the White Mist Forest to resolve the misunderstandings, allowing both sides to coexist.
Decades passed, and a new generation of humans learned the Elves' language and came to respect and rely on nature. They were no longer a race dependent solely on machinery but were gradually transforming into a new existence where two civilizations intertwined.
However, Commander Ivan never forgot the fall of Akaser. In secrecy, he trained an army, researched the planet's energy crystals, and quietly plotted: "If we cannot reclaim the old planet, then let this place become a new empire."
The peace of Eramia was on the brink of collapse.
