The world.

A long time ago... Actually let met start from the very beginning.

The start of this world.

Nobody fully understands, probably not even the superior.

We will skip all the way to a place where we do know.

Almost 1000 years ago.

As I had said before, 3 types of humans existed: Terrans (Me and you.), Zoomorns, and Demons. Humans are creatures who hold a 'humanoid' shape, and higher intellect than other creatures.

Monsters, animals, and mythical creatures all existed alongside humans, but even with some of them holding an almost 'humanoid' shape, their intellect difference was extremely differentiable... But, the main reason they weren't humans was because of one thing, we will get to it soon.

A quick rundown on humans would be the following. Terrans are higher intellect and are considered the smartest creatures roaming the planet. Then Zoomorns, who are the most empathic with their no differentiating between anything. Finally the Demons, who are fully under the control of their 'Ego.', They were the first to fall to the human ego.

The human ego... Some would say it's what makes us move, it's what makes you wake up everyday, it's what makes you strive for more, it's what makes you want to take down anything above you. That's what truly differentiates us from all other creatures, Our human ego.

Within all 3 types of humans the ego, The feeling of being on top, that is what led the demons to their fall. You see Terran's had their ego suppressed with researching and making that as their main goal, Zoomorns would think of themselves highly with how nice they were, and Demons would flaunt their strength by taking down anything that annoyed them.

The Demons' ego had lead to many wars and conflicts among themselves, to the point they had halved their own race by themselves. The surviving half were then ruled by an Iron fist under 'The Lord.', Or so he called himself, He had united all the demons under the promise of power and glory. Exactly what they all had wanted.

And you see, while they all were fighting over who the strongest was, one other creature existed... No... Not a creature... An entity. A being who's existence can't be understood. That is the current 'Demon Lord.', or as I rightfully call him 'The superior.'. A being that was brought to existence to simply stand above all, It's existence was only to observe this earth, To prove it's existence. After all, if no one watched us humans develop, did we really exist?... Or that's what it made it out to be.

It was an entity that was one with mana, which is exactly why it had such extreme strength and control over everything. It's also why it can change mana at will to use spatial magic, and on top of that It watches over all creatures in this world. Even right now, as we talk, It is listening and watching everything we say and do, the only exceptions being people of no mana, Outsiders.

As I had told you before, Outsiders, are people out of this world brought here for god knows why. The source of their power is this 'System.' Which allows them to take power from an unknown source to reach unbelievable feats under an unfathomably small period of time.

Anyway, them being people not of this world, they are the only ones The superior can't observe perfectly.

Back to history class.

The entity was suddenly born. No purpose was given to it, nor a meaning. merely a position at the top of our world. It had no feelings, no ambitions, no ego. That's why it roamed the world only observing and making it it's goal to observe.

As it roamed the earth. Monsters, animals, and mythical creatures all bowed down to it, understanding that it was a being beyond them.

At some point it had learnt of humans. It feel in love with them, how they would act, how they would work, how they would grow. It loved how they would strive for goals, achievements, and desires, Things it had lacked.

So it showed itself to human society. First being the Zoomorns, it had found them as we would find adorable kittens, Little curious thingies that are just too pure and innocent.

'Cute'

The moment the Zoomorns had laid eyes on it, they understood. They just simply couldn't defy that being, as such they had given them the title of 'Superior.'. The superior wished for mutual understanding, to join society, but yet it just couldn't be given to it. With it's mere presence being so overwhelming such a thing was beyond impossible.

So the superior separated itself from humans. The word of it spread between the Zoomorns to other humans, the Terrans and Demons. The superior merely stood in the side lines taking a large amount of monsters with it into the center of this world, The Middle Lands, and keeping them there together as to not harm humans.

The superior had given the monsters a copy of what human civilizations were like, an attempt at a market, an attempt at housing, an attempt at socialization, and had them create their own continent in there.

At first the superior was ignored by humans and was merely just a thing that had popped up, But not to the demons. "The Lord." Had already promised his men fame and glory, but yet they stood a step beneath the top. It had made the demons who lived off of nothing, but their egos, run rampant.

They couldn't stand the fact that they and 'Humans' were one. They needed to prove they were above the 'Humans' if anything, So they planned an extinction plan. That is when they had attacked The Zoomorns continent.

The zoomorns were weak, even though they were closer to mana than any other being, they couldn't stand a chance against the Demons. What's worse is that they had never thought of such a thing happening to them, they had lived in harmony alongside monsters, and had seen violence as something that should never occur. They had absolutely no defense mechanisms, and were absolutely obliterated. Among the few who were able to escape most ran to Terran societies, but were immediately turned around. Terrans had feared for themselves, they understood that after the Zoomorns they were next, so in a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable they had turned away all targets of the demons, that being the surviving Zoomorns.

The demons were ecstatic, They had truly fallen to their ego. The rush they got as they slaughtered the countless Zoomorns and proven themselves as superior had ruined them. They knew Terrans stood no chance, so they immediately started their preparations for taking them out too.

One entity knew of it all, Sitting in the center of the world, it watched the world fall. It couldn't take it, as I had said before, the superior adored humans. That's why it hadn't interrupted the demons, after all, that's what made them human, the need to fill their ego.

But It couldn't stand back, as it watched monsters slowly grow in the made up civilization it had created, as it watched how terrified the Terrans were, and how unfairly the Zoomorns were being treated. It took action.

It abandoned it's status as an observer and acted upon the situation, completely eradicating the demons. It was nothing to it, to say a workout would be an overstatement. In less than a day, not a single demon was left. After all, it had known where every single one of them were, at every moment, and to top all that, it was in a league completely of it's own.

That day the demons' ego had taken them down. The world itself, the manifestation of mana which makes up this world 'The superior.', had acted upon them, and brought them punishment. Witnessing such a thing the Terrans gave it another label 'The Demon Lord.'.

Terrans still hadn't understood the superior nor did they know of it's actions, They had merely heard of it from the Zoomorns. Most even treated it as a horror story to tell a child to behave. Witnessing it overwhelm the fearful demons they named it such.

The Superior once again returned to the middle lands. The few Zoomorns who had escaped to him were then given their own town underground with full support from The Superior, the town which we had visited.

The superior then swore to never again act. It had gotten too emotional and ended up eradicating an entire race. It believed that isn't what it was given power for, and regretted it greatly, So it locked itself away in the middle lands.

40 years passed and Terrans were the only type of humans left roaming the earth. Monsters were now barely an obstacle , as they were almost all with The superior in the middle lands. They had forgotten about The Demon Lord's existence, So with nothing else to act it's ego upon, and nothing to stop in it's way, Just like the Demons before them. The Terrans Attacked each other.

You see, Among Terrans there were many races. Those who had different skin color, those who had spook in different tongues, those who had different beliefs, and those who valued different things.

After a long 100 year conflict between each other, Only one was left. One color, One tongue, one belief, and one value.

Under one rule, Terrans Expanded their land, Monsters were almost non-existent, so nothing stood in their way as they grew. Even then conflicts were happening between each other, They would once more split into multiple kingdoms and empires.

They would split the land among each other, and even though they were all the same, they all treated each other with hostility waiting for the other's slightest mistake.

That's when, one day they had reached the middle lands. Human society had somehow made it's way to the middle land. Which is when all hostility among them was put on hold. If anything, it had made them all become one once more.

They had found a greater evil, One that stands above all. "The Demon Lord." An existence that threatened the Terrans' superiority.

Of course it didn't happen instantly, but instead under many years of slowly fabricating history.

At first most feared it, while some worshipped it.

The Terran's hierarchy, loyal families and whatnot, had made contact with the demon lord, and made 2 deals with it.

One is the return of monsters into the outside world, Even though it would put Terrans in danger, They needed it to have something to blame the demon lord for.

And the other was the constant spring this world is under. They had made a deal to remove all seasons except from spring in this world, how The Demon Lord made it happen no one knows, but he simply answered.

They too used that to rack shit on the demon lord.

The superior knew what they were doing, but still answered. The Terrans who had made the deal with The Superior promised that they would make sure to stay away from the Zoomorns where ever they were, They promised that they would make it so no one knows about them, and let them enjoy their peace.

It wasn't impossible as Terrans slowly were accepting the fact that they were the only 'Humans.', so with nothing more than abusing their power they could fulfil the deal.

The superior had promised itself to never act again, and to be nothing but an observer. But, yet it again it had grown attached to the Zoomorns as it took care of them, so it accepted the deals.

Then time passed. Terrans became the only humans, The Zoomorns and Demons were slowly deleted from terran history, and the demon lord was labeled a greater evil. Conflict among Terrans was minimalized as they focused on growing themselves and stopping monsters. The Demon Lord stayed in the middle lands amongst his 'Army' (Which is really just the monsters who live in the made up civilization he had created) and are feared by ignorant humans.

That, Lena. Is the truth of this world.

Now that you know about this world, let's talk about me.

The one who stands above The Demon Lord.
