Demon, Dracula, werewolves, mermaids, Mystique, Elf, Dragon and many other creatures live side by side, and their populations are also much smaller than that of normal humans.
But Zacrathis... they don't live alongside them. Zacrathis has its own ambitions. They want to conquer the Orthelis and want all creatures, both mortal and immortal to worship them.
The Zacrathis lord ordered his subordinates to find a human sacrifice to increase his power. They were born in darkness and loneliness, yet they possess incredible strength. The most powerful creature, Zacrathis or the immortal devourers.
1700 years ago, in the year 535 ENE, there was a massive war between mortal and immortal beings against the immortal devourers. Zacrathis began to conquer the Orthelis in 788 EBD. That's era before darkness.
They weren't just attacking humans, but immortal creatures as well. The world lost its light for several decades until it reached its peak in 535, when the mortals and immortals declared war.
Both mortals and immortals continued to try and attack Zacrathis. The group of immortal devourers, with at least 10 immortal creatures attacking 1 Zacrathis, was unfortunately very easily defeated by Zacrathis.
Yes, Zacrathis won decisively. Many creatures were on the verge of extinction due to the war. Even normal people become victims.
Many mortal and immortal creatures haven't accepted their defeat from 1700 years ago. They united with creatures from other groups, such as Demon, Dracula, werewolves, mermaids, Mystique, Elf, Dragon, Witch, Wizard and other creatures.
But unfortunately, they were soundly defeated. They could only put up an invisible barrier to protect the Earth and their group from attack.
For hundreds of years, the creatures worked together to build an invisible barrier so strong that it would be difficult for Zacrathis to break through and go to Orthelis.
Slowly, the Orthelis regained its light. That period was called the Era of Endless Night(mare)
-----
A man ran in fear from something with glowing red eyes and horns chasing him. The man was one of hundreds of people affected by the book that had been enchanted by Zacrathis. He entered the portal in the tunnel and ended up in the world of Zacrathis. The forest was very dark, he couldn't see anything but the towering trees that looked very scary. One of the zacrathis was behind him. No matter how fast he runs, he still won't be able to escape that monster. The Zacrathis movements were lightning fast, and it easily caught the man. It gripped the man's neck and killed him. It took the man's soul and returned it to its origin, delivering the soul to the Zacrathis lord.
Flashback
The man was preparing for his 6th semester exam at university. While he was studying in the campus library, he suddenly saw a shiny golden book. When he read the title, it's a book about Loreineta
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, as he thot it was a history book about Loreineta. But when he got home and opened his bag, the book was suddenly there. He opened the book. And he was like he was under a spell.
He went in search of a portal that could bring him face to face with Loreineta, a legendary creature who could grant all wishes. When he entered the portal, he ended up in a forest where everything was black, from the tree trunks, leaves, and flowers. Suddenly, a tall and large figure walked toward him, it was Zacrathis. He ran in fear.
Flashback off
"I have collected 274 souls," said the Zacrathis.
The Zacrathis lord looked angry, grabbed the creature's neck, and slammed it to the floor.
"Find more soul, I want, demon, Dracula or Vampire soul, or I will destroy you." The Zacrathis lord stared at the Zacrathis creature.
The Zacrathis really love causing chaos on Orthelis, for example, making countries war with each other, spreading deadly viruses, causing natural disasters, and using their power to manipulate other creatures.
Currently, Zacrathis is having difficulty hunting humans and other creatures because mortals and immortals have built an invisible magical barrier over time for hundreds of years, making it difficult for the Zacrathis to penetrate the barrier and go to Orthelis. Many of them have enchanted their settlements to make them impenetrable to Zacrathis.
Zacrathis are the most powerful beings; they can do anything, including destroy magical barriers, but it requires a lot of energy to destroy them.
Their portal to Orthelis had all been destroyed, leaving only one portal in a very hidden location, but they still couldn't use it because if they went to Orthelis, they would run out of energy and be destroyed by the magical barrier.
They tried to find another way and make the immortal humans or creatures come to them on their own. They sacrificed hundreds of zacrathis to go to Orthelis and place a magic book containing information about other worlds.
It was a simple book, containing information about a creature named Loreineta who lived in a place far from Orthelis. Actually, it was a book about the Zacrathis, but they put magic in the book so that anyone affected by the magic would see it as a book about a creature named Loreineta who could grant all of a person's wishes. Loreineta went extinct hundreds of years ago, hunted by the Zacrathis because one of them tried to wipe out the Zacrathis.
Creatures like humans, full of curiosity, will easily be trapped.
For the Zacrathis, they used their last highly secret portal on Orthelis. Humans would find the Zacrathis magic book, and if they were foolish enough, they would certainly try to find the Loreineta creatures and go to their portal. When humans entered the portal, they would be in the world of the Zacrathis.
