The Dragon Queen, Hai Ri, revered as the Fire Goddess, is an immortal being who has ruled the Earth for a century. In that time, the world has fractured into 51 distinct kingdoms—50 of them governed by humanity, while the mightiest of all lies under the dominion of the Demon Queen, Riva.
A hundred years ago, Riva sought to eradicate humanity in the War of the Kingdoms. This brutal conflict saw the rise and fall of countless heroes, and after the loss of over 10,000 valiant soldiers, hope seemed all but extinguished. In the midst of despair, a mysterious girl emerged from the shadows. Little was known about her origins, but she possessed a remarkable gift: the ability to summon six golden dragon spirits simultaneously, each one embodying the raw power and majesty of the ancient beasts.
The protracted War of the Kingdoms, which raged for six grueling days, concluded in mere moments. With unparalleled skill and grace, she vanquished Queen Riva in just five decisive moves, her dragon spirits swirling around her like a tempest of gold. The battlefield, once echoing with the cries of war, fell silent as the demons and humans alike gazed in awe at the display of power.
Her mastery of such immense ability, combined with her noble spirit and compassion, earned her the esteemed title of Dragon Queen, Hai Ri. The demons, ever hungry for dominance, posed a continual threat to the world, their shadows looming over the kingdoms. In a desperate bid for peace, the kings of all realms united in their resolve to appoint her as the Lord of the Earth and protector of humanity. It was a monumental decision, a glimmer of hope in a darkened world.

However, Riva, weakened by her defeat, was not to be underestimated. She cunningly approached Lord Hai Ri, proposing a deal that would bind her fate. If Hai Ri spared her life, the demon clan would refrain from disturbing the human kingdoms for the next 500 years. Though all knew her words were laced with deceit, and many counselled against it, Lord Hai Ri, embodying the very essence of compassion, acquiesced.
It wasn't long when Hai Ri break through the 7000 dragon scales barrier and became immortal
Yet, the tranquility was deceptive. While the demons remained dormant for decades, whispers of rebellion and discontent began to circulate in the shadows. The kingdoms, once united in their respect for Hai Ri, started to fracture under the weight of old grudges and ambitions. Alliances shifted like sand, and the threat of war loomed once more.
As for me, my name is Draven Alaric. I hail from the illustrious Alaric family, rulers of the kingdom of Valoria, the sixth most powerful realm among all. Valoria, known for its sprawling forests and majestic castles, stands as a beacon of hope amid the rising tensions. However, the shadows cast by Riva and her kin remain ever-present, and whispers of her return send shivers down the spines of my people.
In my heart, I carry the legacy of my ancestors, sworn to protect our kingdom and uphold the fragile peace established by Hai Ri. I often ponder the stories of the past, the sacrifices made, and the blood spilled on the battlefields of yore. As a young lord, I am determined to forge a path that honors the memories of those who fought valiantly for our future.
Yet, the world is not as simple as it seems. Dark forces are gathering, and with each passing day, I feel the weight of destiny pressing upon me. The Dragon Queen may be our protector, but even the strongest can falter. As the winds of change blow through Valoria, I know that my journey has only just begun.
