In 2030 the Earth reached its limit, since due to technological progress and scientific discoveries, life expectancy increased considerably, reaching more than 10 billion people.

The pollution that was destroying the planet reached its threshold. That same year several natural disasters in a row devastated humanity, it seemed to be a warning that the planet was at its limit.

After this catastrophe, 90% of the population was extinct. The survivors desperately tried to find a way to fix the damage done to the planet, but it was too late the planet was collapsing, it was not known how much time was left.

In this race to save humanity they have outdone themselves once again, in one of the technological installations a group of scientists managed to maintain a stable dimensional portal with the particle accelerator.

Teegarden was a world that could only be described as mystical, it was bathed in a vital energy called mana, this energy nourished the body and mind of living beings.

After several conflicts, humans managed to settle down and live in peace with the people who inhabited this new planet. Helping with technological advances, in many areas, peace and prosperity has been preserved, if only on the surface.

Maplewood, northern city of the Sunnydale empire, a man and a boy were in a tree, the immense amount of trees made it very difficult for the suns rays to pass through the leaves, this was the Shadow Forest.

”Hey Old Man lets try to go a little deeper into the forest today, the mystical beasts haven been appearing frequently for several days now! ”

Arthur was an 11 year old boy with gray hair and green eyes. His family had to flee Earth, his father who was in the army died in one of the battles, leaving Arthur and his mother Hellen alone.

Sunnydale was the empire with most of the human people, the last great war of the 4 empires happened 150 years ago, to avoid more destruction each people assumed an empire, Bedrock for the Dragonians, Greenbow for the Elves, Sunnydale for the Humans and Rising for the Lycans.

In Teegarden literacy and some general knowledge was done by magical books that could transfer knowledge, when used by a person, as it was very expensive and difficult to do just for basic things existed.

When children turned 12, their bodies began to accumulate mana and create a mana core, at which time they could be enrolled in the Imperial academy.

Arthur was already in the process of circulating mana in his body, many children from powerful families learned various techniques even before joining the academy. As Lucious wanted to impress Hellen, he started teaching Arthur a circulation technique.

”You just want to look responsible to my mother, old man! ”

”Hey you kid, you know there are all kinds of dangers in this forest, the deeper we go the harder it will be to protect you. ”

Arthur knew very well that it was dangerous, but it had been more than 15 days since he and Lucious had not been able to hunt a single beast, after his father died his mother had to work in a boarding house to get food at home, Arthur swore to himself even if that would change.

”My mother wanted to eat a beef stew, but you are right and very dangerous. ”
