Demon Kingdom
Deep within the heart of the Demon Kingdom stood an enormous palace, its dark towers piercing the crimson sky.
Inside one of its private offices, a woman sat behind an ornate desk.
Her soft pink hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, while her pink eyes, each bearing a vertical slit, stared intently at the object resting in her palm.
It was a small emerald-colored crystal, barely the size of a pebble.
Yet despite its size, it radiated an extraordinary aura.
A beautiful, otherworldly glow shimmered within its depths, as though something ancient was sleeping inside it.
A faint smile appeared on the woman's lips.
"It's beautiful... No matter how many times I look at it."
She was none other than Demon Queen Nyxariel Noctyra. The object in her hand was a Primordial Shard. She admired it for another moment before turning toward a small metallic box sitting on her desk.
