Dragon Kingdom

The Dragon Kingdom was one of the human nations formed after the fall of the Evil deities. Its founder, the Brightness Dragon Lord, intermarried with a human noble family and thus created the royal line of the Dragon Kingdom.

This Kingdom was home to more than 7 million humans, and it was located at the borders of Humanity's realm with that of the Beastmen nations. For centuries, since the founder of The Dragon Kingdom disappeared, the beastmen tribes had occasionally raided the lands of this human nation for food and livestock. The Dragon Kingdom lacked the necessary resources to raise a permanent army of professional soldiers large enough to combat the beastmen, who were several times stronger than an average human. The difference in ability between the beastmen and humans was just too great to overcome. If both humans and beastmen were of the same species, then a beast-man would have ten times the strength of a human. Using the adventurer's rating system, if a human was rated at 3, then a beastman would be rated at 30. The only saving grace for humanity was that exceptional beastmen were surprisingly rare, possibly because the beastmen themselves were already very powerful and generally balanced, to begin with.

The only reason that the Dragon Kingdom was not destroyed yet was because the other human nations bordering it, the Baharuth Empire and the Slane Theocracy, would send their military support to the Dragon Kingdom to help them repel the beastmen invasions. This wasn't done out of generosity. The existence of the Dragon Kingdom was the only thing keeping the beastmen massive hordes from attacking and destroying the human nations located on the western side of the continent.

The beastmen themselves didn't bother with a full-scale invasion either. They saw the Dragon Kingdom as a food source that would replenish itself even when left alone. So they saw this human kingdom as a farm field to be harvested. And so, life continued this way at the Dragon Kingdom, that was hardy breathing at the doorstep of the beastmen nations.

In a small but luxurious room, a young girl sat on a throne. She spoke in a voice that was very innocent and cute, and which was quite fitting for her age.
