Chapter 1 - Unnamed

A planet named Ilafara, its pulse extending across space to reach another world—a planet humans call Earth.

Ilafara is a world similar to Earth in terrain and climate, but its essence is different. Since the birth of the first human on its surface, energy jewels hidden in the chests of some were discovered—jewels that grant their bearers extraordinary powers: manipulating elements, controlling time, seeing beyond veils, healing wounds, and hearts capable of speaking to matter itself. This power was a gift, as if by natural law, and with it came great responsibility.

Humanity on Ilafara quickly embraced strict rules: power cannot be taken, nor used for domination, and the King, as the head of state, guards the balance of values. Thus, a class of protectors and rulers arose, and every family created legends about the jewels and their origins.

A century and a half ago, a black mist descended on Earth, later called the Nazil, ferocious and bloodthirsty creatures with no fixed form, outcasts of nature's laws, feeding on the raw energy of life. They invaded Earth overnight, catching its people completely unaware. Humanity had neither the knowledge nor the means to resist.

That was when the people of Ilafara intervened to protect and assist Earth. They knew revealing themselves would have consequences, yet there was no other choice—Earth would have been annihilated otherwise. They fought side by side, burying many of their own, and eventually succeeded in repelling the threat. A treaty of alliance and peace was signed—a blank page between the two worlds.

From that moment, the relationship between the worlds shifted from confrontation to cooperation, from fear to harmony. Yet, in every treaty, there are secrets left unwritten, names unspoken in councils, and orders given only in the shadows. A Cosmic Alliance Organization was established, including elite members from both worlds, to protect Earth from future threats.

Among these warriors, however, there was one girl shrouded in mystery: the Guardian, also known as the "Blood-Eyed One." An enigmatic woman, recognized only by her red eyes, known in both worlds as a formidable warrior possessing all the powers of Ilafara. She has lived on Earth since birth, appointed from a young age as an ambassador between the worlds.

One night, she saved a young boy from a fire in a London neighborhood, caused by mysterious circumstances that remain unsolved. The child saw nothing but her red eyes as she pulled him from the flames. From that moment, he swore revenge. Years passed, and the boy grew up to become the leader of a top-tier crime unit within the Cosmic Alliance.

Let me introduce you to the world of Ilafara:

Ilafara is ruled by King Leothar, a compassionate and beloved ruler of both worlds. He assumed the throne after the death of his great-grandfather, at the age suitable for leadership. He established the foundation for a shared organization aimed at joint protection: the Cosmic Alliance Organization. Its mission was to foster cooperation to fight threats facing Earth—a step toward the harmony he had long dreamed of, where both worlds could live in peace.

Ilafara consists of eight cities. We will focus

only on the capital, where the king resides:

Iloreth — The Royal Capital

✦ Center of governance and home to King Leothar.

✦ A city built on white mountain peaks, known as the City of Celestial Light.

✦ All buildings are made of blue stone, glowing faintly at night.

✦ Home to the Aether Palace and the famous Arcanthis University.

✦ Protected by unbreakable energy walls, powered by the colossal Heart of Ilafara, which channels energy throughout the city.

It is said that the first guardian in history was born in Iloreth.
