Ancient Species

The **Ancient Species** refers to the first nine lifeforms created by the Gods at the beginning of it all.

## About

The Nine Ancient Species are the nine first life forms the Gods created after the world. They are nine powerful entities who are as old as the world. Each of the Nine Ancient Species are different from each other. None of the two are the same and they have different characteristics, appearances, and abilities. They are veiled in mysteries for they seldom move. Amongst them, "Time Walker" Orgus is the most mysterious for their ability to move through time; the past, present, and future.

## Nine Ancient Species

### First Dragon, Locrion

The First Dragon. He is a gigantic entity with blue scales. He is so big that when Vera first met his lying figure, he thought Locrion was a sea of ice. Although he is called a Dragon, he can be considered to be more like glaciers and ice in the form of a Dragon. He was monumental in size and had an overwhelming presence. Before him, all information that made up the world returned to it most essential form.

### Time Walker, Orgus

**Time Walker Orgus** is a mysterious and enigmatic entity who can travel through the past, present, and future. Alongside Eternal Sacrifice Ardain, there is little information known about it. All that is known is that it never moves without purpose. When it moves, there is a purpose, and this purpose usually pertains to its creators. It is a faithful worker for its creators. It is known to record information of the past, present, and future and sometimes show scenes from one of those time frames to others.

### Aedrin

**Aedrin** is the mother of all Elves. She is their creator whose form is that of a tree. It is known that the fruits she produces are the Elves, and that every 1,000 years, she reincarnates into a new tree body to refresh her life span. Her creations, the Elves, are eternally young because they are supplied life from their mother.

### Queen of the Dark Season, Nartania

She created the Vampires by feeding them her cursed blood. She hates Locrion for he cursed her blood. She rules the Citadel of the Dark Night.

### Smallest World, Alaysia

She is obsessed with Eternal Sacrifice Ardain and wants to become one with him. She is the one who has been regressing time over and over for her goal to resurrect Ardain.

### Mountain Pushing Colossus, Terdan

He is an ancient entity who was sleeping most of the time.

### Eternal Sacrifice, Ardain

The **Eternal Sacrifice Ardain** was the first of the Lord's creatures to be created. It is speculated that they are also the Demon King who, pre-regression, made a mess of the continent due to the fact that traces of the Demon King exist. It means the Demon King has existed all along. Alongside the Time Walker, Ardain is the Ancient Species whose information is not well known. He is the most perfect existence with the powers of all the Gods; the being closest to Omnipotence. His Demon King self is merely his shell, for his soul has long cease existing.

### King of Rotten Flesh, Maleus

He is a mysterious entity who lives in the Cradle of the Dead. He looks like a giant corpse; animated bones with muscle tissue here and there that contracted. In his eyes, death is nothing noteworthy. For death is a natural phenomena, and a normal one, at that. He speaks about the Lord as his Parent. When speaking to Renee, he called her the Daughter of Parent and was nice to her.

## History

After the world was made, the Gods created the Ancient Species. They were Apostle prototypes who were a failure. This was because the power of the Gods was divided unevenly between them all, with Ardain taking most of the power as the first creation. The Nine Ancient Species built civilization, and they had a harmonious relationship with each other. But at some point, the Smallest World Alaysia became obsessed with Eternal Sacrifice Ardain. She wanted to become one with him.

Due to wanting to become one with him, she caused an accident that Eternal Sacrifice Ardain had to stop himself. But as a result, he entered near-extinction. His soul was extinguished, and only his body remained. Alaysia failed to understand this and therefore began to attempt to "reawaken" Ardain. Unbeknownst to her, Ardain is nothing more than a shell, a body, for his soul has long cease existing.

Due to countless failures, Alaysia resorted to regressing time to try and try again. Because of her, the other Ancient Species become active and clash, messing with the continent. As a result, she has to keep regressing time to try over and over. And because of her, **Time Walker Orgus** has also begun interfering with the current regression in order to stop Alaysia's crazy plan.

However, at some point, Ardain realized he could no longer stop Alaysia. Thus, he established the Holy Kingdom Elia to prepare for the future. That way, he could gather all Apostles. The concept of Divinity was also created by him using his powers. And in order to retain the power that no creature on this land should have been able to handle, the Gods created a new species capable of handling it, so that they could give it without creating another creature; that is what Apostles are.

Apostles are essentially daggers, weapons, forged by Ardain to stop Alaysia.
