---WOLRD---
The Golden Age of Planet Earth (300,000 Years Ago)
The Awakening: Following the fall of the dinosaurs, Humans and Devils were born.
Parallel Creations: Alongside these two species, the raw energy of nature gave birth to two new realm dimensions
---Devils---
Devils are supernatural beings that constitute one of the two dominant sapient species on the planet, alongside humans. Contrary to popular beliefs regarding primordial demons, their origin and nature are inextricably linked to human existence and death.
Creation (Transformation)
The birth of a devil is not achieved through biological reproduction, but rather through a post-mortem transformation process. This metamorphosis follows four distinct stages:
* Death: The individual must be an ordinary human who committed horrific crimes during their lifetime, lived with absolute darkness in their heart, or was responsible for major atrocities.
* Descent: Following death, the soul does not find peace. Instead, it sinks and is imprisoned within the Darker Hell, an absolute void of darkness and torment.
* Rebirth: Within this abyss, the soul undergoes a violent forging. The body and consciousness are destroyed and reconstructed, transforming the mortal spirit into a new, dark entity—the devil.
* Ascension: The fully formed devil emerges from Hell and ascends back to the earthly realm (Earth). Their sole purpose now is to hunt and feed upon living humans.
This intricate process explains the human-like form and the fragmented, distorted memories that many devils retain, as they were once mortals.
Timeline of Appearance
Devils are not a later addition to the world. They appeared simultaneously with humanity as part of Nature's design to maintain global equilibrium.
* Time Period: Approximately 300,000 years ago.
* Synchronization: Nature created two sapient species at the exact same time to rule over the Earth: Humans and Devils.
* Purpose: They represent one side of the planetary balance, while humans represent the other. Their existence is fundamentally tied to the very birth of human civilization and violence.
Connection to Nature Energy: The existence and raw power of both species originate from a single, primordial source: Nature Energy. This is an elemental force fueled directly by the darkest of human emotions, such as hatred, fear, sorrow, and bloodshed.
* Humans (specifically Sorcerers): Utilize Nature Energy as a tool for casting magic, combat, and self-defense.
* Devils: Passively absorb this energy, drawing immense power straight from the atmosphere, as well as from the violence and agony they inflict upon others.
---NATURE ENERGY---
Nature Energy is a primal force born alongside humanity. It is fueled and intensified by the darkest human experiences: hatred, fear, bloodshed, sorrow, and even the very oxygen we breathe. Everyone possesses nature energy, as it is born within the human body, but only a rare few can break their limits and activate it. However, there are exceptions, such as a sudden spike in adrenaline, which can activate Nature Energy briefly, for just a fraction of a second
