ALL

In the beginning - before time existed - there was a vast expanse of space. This expanse of nothingness hosted a being, ALL, whose origin is unknown. With her magic - the original magic, Almighty - she created the universes, galaxies, stars, planets, suns, and all other spatial bodies. But this was not enough. She proceeded to create six beings from the natural elements around her - known now as the Six True Gods. From a ripped fabric of space, ALL created the firstborn son, Saint Alvis Ragnarök. From the darkness of the universe, ALL created the King of the Nether, Saint Lucifer Morningstar. From the light created by stars, she created the God of Light, Saint Venus Nirvana. From the recently created fabric of time, Saint Amey Gigante was born. From the concept of Life, Saint Sky Aerlogard came into being. And finally, from the concept of Death, Saint Sky Aerlogard's twin sister, Saint Anpu Dwargo was born. These six saints were formless beings tasked with creating realms.

Saint Alvis was the first to create a realm. A domain filled with Dragons, Phoenixes and many other creatures who rule the skies above. Saint Lucifer created the Nether realm - a realm of hellfire and frozen wastelands, where demons walked among the dead. Saint Venus created Nirvana, the realm of the Gods and angels - a true paradise. Saint Amey created Gigante, the realm of giants, ogres, and other massive giants. Saint Sky, who always fought with her twin sister Saint Anpu, created Aerlogard, the realm for elves, fairies, and other spirit-like creatures. Saint Anpu created Dwargo, the realm for the mine-loving Dwarves. This was the origin of six of the seven realms in existence today.

ALL was pleased with her children's creations. So much so, that she decided to create a realm herself. She created Leagard - the realm of humans and magical beasts. ALL loved humans. They were smart, adapted to their surroundings, and developed the lands. The seven realms found themselves in an era of peace and prosperity.

That was until ALL became irate at the sight of humans. Billions of years have passed since their creation, but their greed and lust showed more dominance over their character than sincerity and gratefulness. ALL was displeased at how humans fought wars against their own kind, and how they exploited and manipulated each other. ALL then decided to put an end to her creation, but her children, the Six True Gods, would not let her. They were revolted at their mother's rash behaviour. ALL, who felt disrespected, aimed her anger at her children. A battle ensued that lasted for over a century. It did not take long for the majority of the seven realms to get dragged into the war. And this involvement caused mass democides to take place.

Seeing no end to the war, the Six True Gods came up with a plan. Instead of defeating their mother - which seemed impossible at the time - they planned to seal her within a host, thus diminishing her magic vastly. But this plan came with a few obstacles. There existed no living or dead host capable of hosting ALL's unlimited magic. The Saints were at a crossroads.

One day, Saint Alvis proposed an idea. The Saints would combine their powers to create an artificial being capable of hosting ALL's magic. This experiment proved successful, and Saint Alvis bestowed this artificial being the name Ryu - meaning dragon. As a dragon is the symbol of ultimate power in all lore, the name was fitting. The Saints then used their powers to seal ALL inside the vessel - which worked. ALL was finally defeated and the war could end. But the realms continued to fight. Demons and Dwarves were harassed by humans, despite being more powerful. Saint Lucifer and Saint Anpu were infuriated, and their hatred caused demons to run amok and slaughter millions of humans. Although they regret what they did, the damage was already dealt. The other Saints forgave the actions of their siblings but were not easy on their punishment. By using their magic, the Saints altered the memories of every living being. ALL was erased from ever existing, and the demons and dwarves were painted as the villains of the Ancient Magic War. A lie was invented to make it seem as though the Netherworld and Dwargo were sealed; however, these realms were in fact never sealed. Demons and dwarves were instead forbidden from ever entering the other realms. The final spell the Saints cast together was the creation of the Laws of Fate - which is a set of laws even the True Gods cannot overrule.

As for the experiment - or as its better known Code Name: Ryu - it was placed under the watchful eye of the four Elder Dragons. Every one thousand years, the vessel would act out as ALL tries to escape; however, the Saints found that erasing the vessel's memories solved this issue. And now, after one thousand years pass, a ceremony is held to wipe the vessel's memory and keep ALL at bay. This is the true story behind the Ancient Magic War.
