Once humanity used to think it was the only intelligent race that existed in the universe until the Era of Destruction began.
The Humans were invaded by Dragons,Elves,Goblins, Beastkin and slime's. Humanity used every weapon it had at the time but the battle only lasted for a single day by night they were enslaved.
The nuclear weapons meant nothing in front of creatures that could destroy half a continent with their breath.
The invasion taught humans about the existence magic and the earth helped by giving every living thing on earth a system to help them improve
After 100 years of enslavement humanity fought again against the invaders and they lost only those who were enslaved by Goblins were able to regain their freedom and this was only a small amount of individuals in the grand scheme
The goblins fled to their world, now the free humans had to face the Dragons,Elves,Beastkin and Slimes this is what the enslaved humans expected but that never happened, the humans who had their freedom made a peace deal with the invaders leaving the other humans enslaved
Then the world formed dungeons to help humanity grow stronger after 50 years humanity felt strong enough to challenge the invaders
The humans declared war against the slimes the war between them lasted 2 months and humanity lost but the slimes were weakened because of this the dragons and elves united to attack the slimes
The battle between the them lasted 2 years, the slimes lost and their world was destroyed by the dragons and elves
While the war between invaders was happening humanity had gained four champions
1)Lunia was skilled when it came to using light magic because of this he taught other's how to use it and strengthened humanity
2)Esther was skilled when it came to using the four elements(Fire,Earth,Air,water) she opened a school to teach people how to use elemental magic strengthening humanity
3)Nullis was skilled with the use of darkness an affinity that was feared by many he showed humanity that darkness strengthened people and was not something that should be feared this help many people with the affinity of darkness come out of hiding to help humanity
4) Sage was the oddest among them although not skilled with any affinity he proved useful to humanity by gathering information about the invaders he knew their strengths and weaknesses. He helped humanity learn how to fight against the invaders and using his information he strengthened humanities knowledge of magic
The four lived divided for many years but after 50 years, Sage reached out to the others asking them to unit humanity
Although they were not friends they all agreed that humanity needed to unit under one banner, this agreement lead to the creation of the Association
The Association purpose was to protect the freedom of the humans against the dragons,elves and Beastkin
After 30 years the Associations leaders united to discuss the fate of the enslaved humans
It took a whole year for them to agree to face the invaders it took 9 years for them to prepare for the war
After 242 years since the invaders arrived, the humans challenged the dragons,elves and beastkin for earth
The war lasted 58 years but in the end humanity reclaimed the earth completely
During the war the 4 champions stood as pillars for humanity and when the war ended they were treated as gods
In next 50 years of their lives religious were built in their names
1) The Lunian's worshipped Lunia the god of light they believe it was their responsibility to guide humanity through all the difficulties of life
2) The Aspen's worshipped Esther the god of nature they believe that the four elements represented universe in its simplest form they preached about how one should live in harmony with the universe
3) The Nullist worshipped Nullis the god of darkness they believed they are responsible for guiding humanity through darkness and they preached about how darkness strengthens a man
4) The Scholars worshipped Sage as a god of knowledge, they believed that knowledge was the only guidance that humanity needed to strive their purpose was to gather as much knowledge as possible for the time humanity will need it
After another 50 years humanity four gods vanished

The Association made a peace deal with the dragons,elves and beastkin
Although each race acted friendly, in the shadows they were constantly trying to destroy each other
After 600 years of peace the elves asked the humans for an alliance to fight against the Goblins their main goal was to destroy their world
In exchange for humanity help the elves offered to tell humanity the location of a universal scripture
Humanity agreed but the location was in the dragon Kingdom because of this the associations hired a group of small time criminals that it could easily be controlled
But due to the mission failure humanity now is trying to stabilise their relationship with the dragons while preparing for war with the goblins
