In a cubical world, possibly larger than Earth, around three times larger, there exist a mystical realm where life flourished abundantly. The creatures roamed there in Ardahin were greater and superior to both humans and animals. It was like a Pangea, a supercontinent, ruled by a great personality known as the Supreme Emperor, Lohart Bordson. He was a sturdy and uniquely looking individual whom many admired. His father had once ruled the nation and was praised by both the rich and the poor for his kindness and generosity. The people of Ardahin were divided into two classes based on their status: the rich and the poor. The wealthy possessed strange superpowers, such as magic and other talents. There is a whole list of abilities, to be precise. The poor, on the other hand, had none. If a person without any abilities were born into a wealthy family, they would be immediately killed, and the same would be true for the poor. Thus, ruling such a vast land must have been an enormous burden for the Supreme Emperor. Oh! He also had five sons with very unique names and abilities of their own: Jenari, the eldest with pyrokinesis; even in his sleep, he could make a fireball and blast it off to the other side of the world, and was a very proud individual. Then there was Kenari, the second with clairvoyance, a big asset during a group battle. Lenari was the third, with amazing Sky-Breathing and Fire-Breathing swordsmanship; he could cut the air into two and handle a crowd of madmen with just a slash. Monari was the fourth, with supernatural strength; he could kill an elephant with just a single touch and break an entire mansion just by leaning on it. Lastly, there was Nonari, the fifth, with the ability of necromancy, which was rather scary, to be honest. Together, they were known as the Ari brothers, who received recognition and praise throughout the nation.

The Ari brothers and the Supreme Emperor resided in a grand palace, a place that commoners could only dream of living in and the rich would pay any amount to enter. Only the Ari Brothers and the Supreme Emperor had full access to the palace. The staff only had limited access in the palace and anyone caught beyond their limit would be executed that very hour. Each of the brothers and the Supreme Emperor had separate chambers within the palace. The Supreme Emperor's chamber was coated with platinum, palladium, and a rare metal called Ruranium, which would later prove to be important to Lenari in the future. It was furnished with everything one could ever wish for, be it useful or useless. Jenari's chamber was slightly smaller than the Supreme Emperor's, but it was polished with aluminum, a rare metal in Ardahin. It boasted a luxurious bed and a mystical creature called a Flimre, a cute fire-breathing Cerberus named For-Fas, the second. (Fun fact: For-Fas, the first, was owned by Jenari's grandfather who also had the power of pyrokinesis.) Kenari's chamber was the same size as Jenari's, but coated with Zinc. The peculiar thing in his chamber was a sculpture of the love of his life, for some unknown reason. Monari's chamber was relatively small compared to the first two brothers, but he had a whole laboratory in it, and he was quite the science enthusiast, though he often broke beakers and such due to his supernatural strength but he loved his room. Nonari's chamber was somewhere between the sizes of Kenari's and Monari's, coated with Gold and Silver and boasted an ecstatic view of one side of the continent rather the western part of the continent. However, Lenari's chamber resembled a prison cell with no windows, a small door, and walls painted in a darkish-grey color. Despite its size, it was the smallest chamber in the palace. By this point, it was clear that there was no equality among them, but somehow everyone had adjusted to this standard of living and went along with their own lives.

The Ari brothers from a small age used to study and learn their abilities within the palace itself. They also learned necessary skills of a noble and a prince. They used to practice with the most skilled Ardahins in the continent each of them in a separate training room. They are allowed to practice and train to their heart's content. During food time, they would be served the best of the best made by world class chefs from the continent which anyone would wish for. IT'S THAT DELICIOUS AND MOUTHWATERING. They were also notified about the ongoing of the continents, how the people suffered and how the Supreme took care of it all. When the Ari brothers felt proud of their father, Lenari won't cause he thought it was a lie and it would have never happened and that the people of his country are actually suffering. ANYWAYS, who knew a day consisted of 40 hours in their land, YUP 40 HOURS!!!!. So there would be around 4-5 meals a day. They lived like us humans, but they were like the slowest creatures ever lived. Like eating it would take around two to three hours already. Only Lenari was like us humans who does the work efficiently and rather fast than those Ardahins. Everyone thought the Ari brothers had the time of their lives and that they need not to worry about anything in life as compared to the commoners in the land. They would always wish to at least touch the palace and work there and be friends with the Ari Brothers and spend time with them and all those fantasies and if they were even more luckier the Supreme Emperor.
