Long before the wars between kingdoms…
before even the gods walked among the worlds…
there existed only primordial forces.
Light.
Darkness.
Life.
Destruction.
These entities shaped reality and created everything that would exist afterward: worlds, stars, gods, and races.
For countless ages, the universe remained in balance.
Until something began to change.
A new presence emerged in the web of existence.
Something that shouldn't exist.
On a small planet called Valtherion, where countless warring races fought for world domination, a child was born in silence.
The village was small.
Forgotten by the gods.
Ignored by the great empires.
But that night… the entire universe seemed to react.
When the child opened its eyes for the first time, its pupils were violet like the abyss.
A voice echoed within its mind.
[Unique Ability detected]
Great Sage — Activating.
A brief silence followed.
Then another message appeared.
Analyzing biological structure...
Error.
Unrecognized species.
The analysis continued.
Creating new classification...
Race: Unknown.
Status: First individual identified.
The child breathed calmly.
As if he understood everything… even without words.
Meanwhile, something in the depths of the cosmos awakened.
In the celestial realm, some angels sensed a distortion in the world's energy.
In the demonic abyss, ancient demons raised their gazes.
And on a much older plane… where even the gods rarely dared to look…
a primordial entity opened its eyes.
Back in the small village, the newborn was enveloped in shadows that moved slowly around him.
The voice spoke again.
Anomalous energy detected.
Dark Authority identified.
Classification: Monarch Level.
For a brief instant, the shadows in the room rose… as if bowing.
The Great Sage concluded his analysis.
Registered name: Kael Nocthar.
Outside, the wind blew strongly.
As if the world itself had just witnessed the birth of something that would change its destiny.
Something that was not human.
Nor demonic.
Nor divine.
But something completely new.
And so was born what would one day be known as:
The Monarch of the First Shadow.
