Where the *Epic of a Caterpillar novel* Takes place.

A Map of the Realm of Vida made by the Kingdom of Athetosea, it is very rough and some locations are wrong, but it suffices.

### Inhabitants

Over five million inhabitants without counting monsters that are not considered people by most societies.

## Description

The Realm of Vida was formed when the World of Genesis was destroyed and split into countless Realms by the war between gods that took place in the past.

Unlike most of the other Realm which usually have only a few biomes and a distinct Attribute, the Realm of Vida possesses several different places, from cold glaciers to burning deserts, giving a wide variety of different species and biomes of most Attributes.

The Gods named this Realm "Vida" because it means Life, which fits this Realm perfectly as it has the most variety in living organisms compared to all of the other Realms.

Unlike other Realms, several gods of different Attributes and Pantheons inhabit this Realm.

The entire Realm has a semi-circular form, it has a shape similar to that of a floating island in Earth's folklore, although it has the size of several thousands of such islands.

The Realm of Vida is surrounded by a large mountain range which protects the Realm from outside menaces such as meteors and other things, this mountain has been explored by Kireina, the Icy Wall Mountains. If one goes to the top of it, you will be able to clearly see the Astral Road, a unique the space where every Realm exists.

It possesses a vast ocean where countless life forms inhabits, and three continents, the largest one and the one known as the "border continent" is where Kireina was born, while the other two continents remain in the middle of the vast ocean, being simply called "central continents".

## Countries

#### **Dark Moon Empire (Formerly a Kingdom)**

An Empire founded by Kireina, her subordinates, and her family, its the first Kingdom that had included Monsters as citizens for hundreds of years, when the Wyvern Overlord tried to unify the Grand Forest. Its location is in the East of the Grand Forest, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.

It currently only has a single Royal Family, which is made out of all of Kireina's wives and children, alongside adopted children and other concubines. Wives are treated as "Queens" while children are treated as "Princes/Princesses", only Kireina is named Empress. Queens and Princes have almost the same power than the Empress, but to bend the rules they need to ask the Empress personally and have her approval.

Its one of the most technologically advanced Kingdoms in the Border Continent and it has an overall great economy and lifestyle.

It posses a giant Dungeon which brings the Empire with precious resources of all types alongside farms, shopping districts, training districts, and a others.

Its population used to be small but quickly multiplied as Kireina, the Empress, enslaved and took over several Monster groups, converting them into her citizens.

Some of the Monsters that make up the Kingdom are Crimson Wolves, Hairy Spiders and their Arachne Evolution's, Ice Wolves and their Werewolf evolution's, Mountain Monkeys and their Monkey Man evolution's, Gale Birds and their Valkyrie Evolution's, Sticky Fire Salamanders and their Flame Salamander (Demi-Human) Evolution's, Dhampir, Merfolk, Goblins, Trolls, Yuki-Onna, Chimera, Undead like Skeleton, Zombies, and Ghosts, Wyverns, Spirits, Dryads, Lamia, Beastfolk of various subspecies, Centaur, Yokai, Blazing Ashura, Oni, Demons, Succubus... and more.

#### **The Unified** **Kingdom of Aquaria**

A Kingdom formerly made up of Merfolk and founded by the ancient figure named as [Merfolk Old Ancestor] by the Royal Family.The current King was Caspian Floaria Aquaria and after a certain point, the Princess Belle Floria Aquaria had once again joined the Royal Family.

The whole Kingdom is located inside a special artifact that creates a bubble-like space, only showing a gigantic gate to those with Merfolk blood. The artifact was placed in the depths of the Great Lake, located in the middle of the Grand Forest.

The buildings are mostly made of Coral Stone of several colors, creating a beautiful view from afar, most citizens transport over water bubbles that they produce with their natural Water Attribute Magic, innate from their birth.

The inhabitants of this Kingdom are Merfolk, water-adapted Demi-Humans, most of them being different species of Mermaids and Mermen, alongside Scylla, Mershark and other races of Aquatic Arachne with their lower halves of Crustaceans. There are also small groups of Mollusk Demi-Humans named Tritonians, with their lower halves of sea slugs, resembling beautiful dresses.

Kireina was unaware of the existence of this Kingdom until she got to know Belle.

The Kingdom possesses a more care-free lifestyle than it would be expected from a Kingdom in the Realm of Vida, specially one made entirely out of Demi-Humans.

The reason behind the Athetoseans carefree lifestyle is the great sense of security that their city brings, placed inside a special space that cannot be invaded without any other way than by willingly letting a stranger enter through their doors, they grew relaxed and most citizens are not even over level 20.

Kireina points out several times how Aquarians have amazing potential but due to their lifestyles, they had never developed it through training, leveling, and experiencing Existence Evolution.

The Kingdom of Aquaria used to be several small nations made out of distinct species and subspecies groups of Merfolk, but after the hard work of Caspian, the current King, the nations were unified into a single Kingdom.

#### **Athetosea** **Kingdom**

A Kingdom founded by Human Merchants, its the nearest Kingdom to the Grand Forest and its inhabitants are mostly Humans, with a few groups of Demi-Human, who are often slaves.

It possesses a Kingdom hierarchy with a Royal Family and several Noble Houses who serve it. However, due to the difference in capital between the Royal Family and the Noble Houses, some Noble Houses may have higher positions and even the ability to deny or not obey direct orders from the King or its Royal Family members.

It has Ten Epic Skill Users known as The Ten Elemental Knights, who are powerful and talented humans who had awakened their powers through the System's [Epic Skill], being branded as [Future Heroes].

It has Five Epic Users known as Five Radiant Champions, who are experienced veterans who awakened their powers through the System's [Epic Skill] and trained diligently for years, becoming formidable warriors. They are often treated as "Heroes" although the System does not recognize them as one yet.

It has a single Epic User known as the [Hero of Raging Winds], the only Human who had transcended the limits of a Champion and become a Hero, his power is said to be able to protect the whole nation, his existence is the reason that Athetosea has not been invaded neither provoked as much by the surrounding smaller Kingdoms... up until a certain point in time.

The King of the Athetosea Kingdom, his name is Hunfray Athetosea XXIII. He is an old man on his fifties with a long blue beard and bald head. His expression is that of a stoic and serious man, but in reality, he is a coward and a backstabber, he didn't get the throne with fair tactics, but by killing half of his brothers by different methods.

#### **Azuma Empire**

A Japanese-like empire that inhabits the opposite side of the continent from the Dark moon empire. The empire is mostly composed of various Demi-humans with a small amount of humans mixed in. It's a mixed empire without much discrimination, making it a safe haven for most Demi-human races, or even poor humans looking for work in a safe environment.

The Empire is currently being governed by the [Phoenix Empress], the new heir of the royal throne. The royal family is mainly composed of Phoenix Valkyries, a species of Harpy with a refined humanoid body. The empress is named Sugita Masami Azuma, and the imperial family is named Azuma. They were the founders of the empire after absorbing 80% of the surrounding demi-human kingdoms scattered around. Despite their tyrannical past, the royal family is peaceful and seek coexistence between humans and demi-humans.

The demi-human diversity in the Azuma empire is incredibly vast, having hundreds of different species. There are Dodomekis, Onis, and its different subspecies, Kobolds, Rabbitkin, Cockatricekin, Lamias, Nagas, Harpies, Yokai and so on.

They are currently having various disputes over territory and resources with the neighboring kingdom, the Thanatos Kingdom. Much like the Athetosea kingdom, the Azuma empire has its own [Epic] users and equivalents to the champions and knights to protect themselves. In the Azuma empire, there are four heroes, three champion equivalents and 5 elemental knight equivalents. Heroes are still referred to as Heroes, but champions are called Azuma Warlords, while the elemental knights are called Azuma Generals.

#### **Thanatos Kingdom**

The Thanatos Kingdom… An ancient Kingdom, even older than Olathir, the former Kingdom where Redgaria Bitefrost originated from.

The Kingdom was founded by a family of Half-Demons and Vampires. Although Human Supremacy may be strong in certain areas of the continent and the central continent, the Thanatos Kingdom was founded in a very isolated area, away from the dangers and threats of other Kingdoms.

Thanatos is a place where both Humans and Demons coexist, however, Demon Supremacy and Pure Lineages hold a stronger authority in here. One could say that Humans are not discriminated against here, but they aren't exactly in charge, the entire Kingdom is filled with Demon Families who govern it, and each Family, every a few hundred years chose a new King and Queen.

As the years went by, the Thanatos Kingdom population increased exponentially and they couldn't hold on their craving for food and war, beginning countless wars against small demi-human Kingdoms. Infiltrating their domain and slowly killing the royal families, leaving the Kingdoms defenseless to be taken by Thanatos's great army.

The Thanatos Kingdom may seem tyrannical and beastly to the surrounding Kingdoms or Empires, but for Thanatos citizens, the government seems like responsible individuals that care about their people, conquering small kingdoms and bringing food and cattle in the form of demi-humans, alongside vassal nations to plant crops and form farms.

The current Queen of Thanatos is a woman with strong convictions and endless greed. She was raised by a strong-willed family and taught about politics and other things needed to properly govern such a big Kingdom. With her current goals set in motion, the Greedy Queen of Thanatos commanded several Vampire Units to infiltrate the small Demi-Human Kingdoms, destroy them from the inside and then absorb them as vassal nations.
