In 1953, archaeologists discovered a mysterious book frozen deep within a part of Antarctica. At first glance, it seemed to be nothing more than ancient fiction—filled with accounts of things that did not exist in the known world. The book, titled Layer of the Paradise, was dismissed by many as mere imagination of the ancients.
However, when one archaeologist made its contents public, the book spread rapidly across the globe. Copies soon appeared in bookstores, sparking both ridicule and fascination. While most people laughed at its impossible tales, a select few believed in its secrets. They became convinced that Layer of the Paradise described a real place brimming with untold treasures and supernatural power.
Those who possessed special power called zeal gathered and formed an organization, determined to journey through the fabled "layers of paradise." Their mission was to reach the 2nd Layer and continue all the way to the 7th. But before they could even step into the 2nd Layer, disaster struck. A radiant being appeared before them—wielding flaming wings and a blazing sword. This entity annihilated the group in an instant.
According to the book, this guardian was a Warden marked with ten stars. The encounter, though tragic, only strengthened the believers' faith that the book was real. Soon after, global leaders declared the possession of Layer of the Paradise forbidden. Yet despite the ban, copies endured—secretly passed down from one generation to the next, fueling the eternal quest to reach the mythical layers of paradise.

The Aswang is a creature on the 2nd layer that can shapeshift into any kind of living thing it has seen and can regenerate fast.

Layers inspired to ten distinct layers in book of Enoch and nine circle of hell
And warden inspired by true angel in bible, I called them wardens because angels in the Bible are our guardians, so I decided to call them wardens since guardians and wardens are almost the same.
