A world brimming with adventure and wonder, "Athter Mundus" is a fantasy realm teeming with fantastical creatures and captivating mysteries. Races such as Humans, Elves, and others contribute to the diverse tapestry of this world, serving as the pillars of awe-inspiring and unpredictable stories.

It all began in a realm known as Echary, renowned as the land of heroes. A prosperous land adorned with extraordinary wonders, capable of influencing significant changes across the entire world of Athter Mundus. Once a land plagued by continuous wars, Echary was the least prosperous in the world, leading to severe famine among its warriors, farmers, and other inhabitants.

For this reason, the nobles in Echary earnestly devised a plan to restore their land's wealth. Eventually, they found one solution to reclaim their prosperity – a colonial approach. Colonization commenced, spearheaded by King Aamon Urostus, who ordered an attack on a land known as Land Friday. War erupted between Echary and Land Friday, entangling both lands in a conflict with each other. Due to the relentless warfare, Land Friday swiftly succumbed, marking the greatest triumph for Echary. This victory was not attributed to sheer might or formidable weaponry but to the intervention of demons.

King Aamon had inked a pact with demons for Echary's victory, seeking to weaken Land Friday from within before launching an assault. The demons accepted King Aamon's proposal under one condition – King Aamon must serve as a vessel for the demons. Without hesitation, King Aamon agreed to the condition. Following the victory over Land Friday, King Aamon ordered simultaneous attacks on two lands – Zehra and Nighday. Empowered by the demons, both lands fell into Echary's grasp. Consequently, Echary's past was shrouded in terror, dissuading other lands from provoking Echary. Even formidable lands like Land Friday swiftly succumbed to Echary.

While Echary's domain continued to expand over the years, the realm flourished and grew powerful through its pact with demons. However, mysteriously, King Aamon Urostus vanished, leaving Echary leaderless. In the absence of leadership, a student of the King named Avi from the Elven race temporarily assumed command to steer the land. Avi had just assumed leadership when demons emerged from their hideouts. These malevolent forces spread across Athter Mundus, harboring intentions to dominate the world. King Aamon's pact with demons was merely a fragment of the demons' scheme to achieve their goal of world domination. Athter Mundus faced peril as the demons emerged, but their malevolent plans were thwarted by the sudden appearance of heroes ready to halt the demons and save the world.

With extraordinary valor, the heroes confronted the malevolent forces of the demons. Through relentless struggle, they eventually overcame the demons and sealed them away. Originating from the land of Echary, these heroes were dubbed the land of heroes for their valor. The heroes assumed control of Echary, resolving issues by dismantling the colonial system and reclaiming previously colonized lands. While the journey was fraught with challenges, their unwavering determination led to the land's restoration to prosperity and strength, establishing Echary as a dominant force in the world. Though the heroes had long departed, their legacy endured, with tales of their valor passed down through generations to honor those who saved the world from peril.

"Huh, huh, it hurts."

In a secluded corner of Echary, resided a husband and wife named Grtunk Epileg, or affectionately known as Tunk, and his wife, Monna Epileg. Currently, they were at the clinic for Monna's childbirth, awaiting the arrival of their newborn.

"So, this is our child, my dear," Tunk's voice choked with emotion.

With tears welling in his eyes, Tunk felt immense joy and tenderness at the birth of his first child.
