Heaven's Domain Act III: Heaven's Domain

Prior to act III, the great and powerful witch Maria, wanting to restore peace to the chaotic country, created Heaven’s Domain. Heaven’s Domain was created through various rare materials that took decades to find. These materials would allow Heaven’s Domain, while quite a small domain, capable of affecting a large radius. In this case Heaven’s Domain encompassed quite a large area, roughly being more than half of the entire region. This field is an aura with the ability to repel weak demonic forces away. This field also can quicken recovery and healing though only by a relatively small amount. The domain itself would be high up, somewhere within the clouds. Inside the domain is a strong preservation field, capable of stopping aging almost indefinitely. Heaven’s Domain was a Godsend.

## Rebellion Saga

While it ended up being the saving grace to the demon filled region of conflict, it wasn’t the end all be all to end all conflicts. Maria’s system was hijacked by the many Gods of the land, repelling her out of it, sending her into the abyss unable to do anything, full of anguish, spending years recovering physically and emotionally. The Gods did not know how to properly manage the system. While they held wisdom, they were still all the more foolish and ignorant in their abilities. In their ignorance, they felt the need to let the world run its own course, but appointed moderators that would help keep things at bay.

Years after Heaven’s Domain’s creation, newly born Gods appeared left and right. Prior to this, the birth of a God was rare ever since the first wave of Gods and Deities populated the earth centuries before the establishment of civilization. These newly born Gods would be the newly appointed moderators to help lead the region into paradise. The Gods of Heaven’s Domain couldn’t prevent conflict. The countries outside of the field were beyond corrupt, filled with war and violence, with many trying to find ways to penetrate and destroy the system. It was nothing but war between order and chaos. And it was a war within the system itself. The newly appointed moderators were ruthless, arrogant, and selfish, only acting on the authority they were given as though it was a game. Assigned to protect the humans that populated the earth, many of them hardly accomplished their jobs. Many, while making the effort to do so, ultimately fail, allowing for many casualties to happen. This long scale abuse had its consequences.

Humanity couldn’t put up with this sense of irresponsibility any longer. Humans started turning to violence to solve issues, turning what was supposed to be Heaven into hell on earth. Humans eventually turned to the degenerate act of sacrifice. In order to punish the Gods and the demonic race that enslaved and killed them, they needed to create a power that could challenge all of the. In this case they conjured up a plan to get 7 sacrificial individuals, each born with great power to suffice their goal. Before the entire sacrificial ritual was completed, the now tainted Maria intervenes, becoming the 8th sacrifice against anyone’s will, fusing with all 7. After promptly flying out from the summon portal formed, the humans instead see a little blonde haired girl in a cradled position, soon awakening. The humans praised their savior. Chanting, loud roars, and cries of joy filled the land. At that moment the little girl opened her eyes, looking downward, and then death struck once again. Human blood spilled, fear present, and hope lost. The little girl who was supposed to bear the name God Slayer then bore the name “The Imperator.” Using dimensional magic, The Imperator bent most of the land to her will, causing sure chaos, killing many innocent people. The Gods struggled to fight her. The Imperator’s magic was a hard counter, not one was equipped to deal with. This dimensional magic made her seem to be more of a God than the Gods themselves that only expertise in elemental magic. The Imperator cursed and killed and made her mark, soon fighting not only the Gods but all of humanity in a battle that lasted several days.

To combat her, energy manifestation weapons were developed, capturing and storing the energy she let out, allowing many to amplify their strength to combat her. Using a special spiritual energy with sentience, called the Cherokee, many individuals had their stamina and energy amplified to where they had an overabundance of resources to spend. Due to the lack of supplies, these weapons were made in very limited qualities, with less than 100 ever being manufactured but it was enough to halt the Imperator’s progress.

On the final day, the Imperator came close to causing large scale calamity. The Imperator brought into existence 7 gates on Agraria, each being empty but would be used to create 7 hells in the form of 7 destructive swords, with their full might, completely destroying everything. Next she would manipulate the dimensions to form her curse system, dooming people to one of the predestined fates she wished to bestow upon them. This entire process however was stopped before she could make any significant steps.

The moderators despite the problem at hand did not change much in their ways, still only looking out for themselves. It was on the final day most of them met their demise to the imperator with only a few surviving. One courage moderator that had been fighting for humanity since the beginning finally felt it was his time to put it all on the line. He devised a plan that would require weakening the Imperator, forcing her into a dimension where he would be the to finish her off. In this case he almost succeeds, severely wounding the Imperator. This brave warrior however was hit with a curse, primarily a death spell, causing him to die shortly after. The Imperator was eventually weakened enough to where she could be easily sealed away but instead of doing that, her powers were first split apart beforehand to make sure she could freely regenerate and cause havoc years later.

After the fiasco, the Gods of Heaven’s Domain imprisoned the moderators that survived for all eternity. And the one brave moderator that risked his life gets his soul preserved, leaving his body to be in a crystalized state forever. This would be the start of a new culture for Heaven’s Domain as the only way to enter inside the domain would be that only strong warriors could enter, primarily dutiful heroes that have proven themselves to the Gods. Heaven’s Domain would then seek out morals to be the moderators since they believed dutiful mortals would simply have other mortals’ best interests in mind.

Because of the fear of the curse system potentially having the potential to return, the Gods of Heaven’s Domain split the entire region up, primarily removing the land they could not observe due to it not being covered in the preservation aura.

Author Notes:

\*For context of the size of the regions, imagine that Agraria was essentially all of The East and North America connected as one. During this process of splitting the land, Agraria would be the equivalent of all of Asia and Europe with the exception of Russia and the various islands would be separated from it. America would then become its own region which would be later established to be Ignia (To be covered in ACT IV), lacking Latin America. Heaven’s Domain however does not span over to Europe.

## Hikraine Saga

As a transition between Act II and Act III, the Hikraine Saga is about how a young Hikraine female is captivated by a darwinistic deity that wanted to speed up the cycle of evolution. This darwinistic deity would also be the one that encouraged the various animal deities to create demihuman variants of their race, which also lead to the spawning of Hikraines. Larentia is the name of this young female Hikraine. Convinced that Hikraines should embrace human culture, Larentia and a small group of demihuman species, captivated by this darwinism deity, goes out procreating with many humans. This also includes the Indian inspired race: The Okeanos. This led to a series of political actions taken against them as humans were quite xenophobic of these demihumans. The acts of procreating were deemed horrific and shameless, and sinful to where many of these humans that embraced the demihumans were publicly discriminated against, oftentimes beaten and killed.

The children born would appear as human but would bear traits of animals. This however wasn’t determined fully by the animal they procreated with but purely by their gene pool that connected them to a certain animal. Children, who managed to hide their identity, would soon find their bodies changing, acquiring demihuman traits in public that would soon further cause controversy for the demihuman species. Certain groups such as the Okeanos treated the Hikraines like family, embracing the demihuman traits. Many individuals in various civilizations believed these demihuman traits were beneficial, noting that their strength seemed to differ from humans and they had the natural ability to various forms of magic and spiritual abilities. For the xenophobic humans however they continued to discriminate against the hikraines for hundreds of years. Soon they found themselves becoming the minority in society.

## Lucifer Saga

During the events of Act III, an angelic God by the name of Julius, a Lucifer Avatar, was born. Julius was primarily established to be the God of life and nature. After seeing the events of what was happening in Heaven’s Domain, Julius spoke damnation onto the Gods for ruining the world with their ignorance. Lucifer prioritized the destruction of the Gods, leaving Heaven’s Domain and over to Hell’s Domain, the alternative to Heaven’s Domain that was established by Maria after her rejection once she was healed. Julius eventually reaches a pit in which various battles between demons take place. In this pit he meets the great Satanael, the Deity of rebellion, and one of the many rulers of Hell’s Domain. Lucifer bests Satanael, eventually fusing with him. Julius then spends centuries attempting to form a solution to this issue in which Gods hold all the control and influence, increasing his power along the way by absorbing various demons.

## Series Conceptualization

Act III of Heaven's Domain served ultimately serves as the main precursor of events that effects every act afterwards and spawns the inevitable story events to happen in Act V. The Act primarily was to be told in a fighting game series, as each individual character in the act had unique experiences which helped establish the worldbuilding of Agraria.
