The world of Astralis is vast and rich in history, divided into five great nations, each ruled by powerful sovereigns and noble houses. Within these lands, humans, elves, dwarves, and beastkin coexist, with one exception—the nation of Nythra, home to the demonic race, standing apart from the rest in both culture and power. While the other nations engage in trade, diplomacy, and war, the demons of Nythra remain an ever-present threat lurking in the shadows.
The Five Great Nations
1. The Elarion Empire – The most powerful and breathtakingly beautiful nation, located at the heart of Astralis. It is ruled by Emperor Alden Elarion and is the focal point of the main story. Its capital, Solmaria, houses the prestigious Imperial Academy of Arcana, the most renowned educational institution in the world. The ruling race is humans.
2.The Sylvaris Kingdom – The land of the elves, ruled by King Eryndor Sylvaris. A nation of ancient forests and abundant magic, home to the elven capital Eldoria.
3.The Drakmire Stronghold – A mountainous nation where dwarves rule, famed for its craftsmanship and warrior culture. The capital, Baldurheim, is a center for trade, smithing, and industry.
4.The Varkath Clans – A wild and vast land where beastkin rule. Unlike the structured monarchies of other nations, Varkath is governed by powerful clans that form a council. The capital, Fenrakar, serves as the meeting ground for these ruling clans.
5.The Nythra Dominion – The nation of the demonic race, ruled by the Demon King. It is an isolated land filled with dark magic and monstrous creatures, with Nythera as its capital.

[A/N: The MC is five years older than the novel's protagonist. He will not have any cheats to become strong, and even the protagonist himself does not possess any except that he is a monstrous genius who appear once in a millenia. In the world of Astralis, only hard work can lead to the pinnacle of power. You might think that having multiple affinities is an advantage, but in reality, mastering them requires far more effort and dedication. While the MC is somewhat talented, he is not an unparalleled genius who can grasp everything in a single day. His growth will be steady, driven by relentless effort and determination. And, of course, as the protagonist, he will eventually become one of the strongest in the world.]
