*Noblesse* universe

In this rewritten version of the *Noblesse* universe, the origin of the Nobles is deeply intertwined with the arrival of an enigmatic entity known as the *Heavenly Blood Demon*, an interdimensional being of immense power and incomprehensible intent.

### The Ancient Arrival
Millennia ago, in the forgotten times when the earth was still young, a rift between dimensions briefly opened. From this tear in reality emerged the *Heavenly Blood Demon*, a being of unimaginable power and vast knowledge. It roamed the earth, observing the primitive humans who inhabited it, seeing in them the raw potential for something greater. Driven by motives unknown to any mortal mind, the demon began its experiments.

### The Genetic Remodelling
The *Heavenly Blood Demon* selected certain humans, those who possessed qualities that intrigued it—strength, intelligence, beauty, and a latent potential for power. These chosen humans were taken and subjected to a series of genetic modifications, processes far beyond human understanding. The demon infused them with a mysterious substance that would later be known as the *Heavenly Blood Essence*. This essence restructured their DNA, enhancing their physical and mental capabilities to superhuman levels and granting them near-immortality.

However, the modifications came with a cost. The essence altered not just their bodies but also their very souls, binding them to the will of the *Heavenly Blood Demon* in a way that none could fully comprehend. These humans were no longer just men and women—they had become something more, something different. They became the *Nobles*.

### The Rise of the Nobles
The newly transformed Nobles found themselves endowed with incredible abilities—strength beyond measure, the power to manipulate energy, and an agelessness that set them apart from the rest of humanity. With their enhanced minds, they quickly established themselves as rulers over the humans, guiding and protecting them, but also ensuring their dominance.

Over time, the Nobles built grand cities, hidden away from the eyes of ordinary humans, where they could continue to hone their powers and knowledge. They established a rigid social order among themselves, with the strongest and most powerful Noble being named the *Noblesse*, the guardian of their kind and the enforcer of their laws.

### The Forgotten Times
As centuries passed, the memory of the *Heavenly Blood Demon* began to fade, becoming nothing more than a myth among the Nobles, a tale to be whispered among the eldest of their kind. The origins of their power became a mystery, with only vague references to an ancient being who had once walked the earth.

The Nobles themselves began to believe that their powers were a natural part of who they were, rather than the result of an ancient experiment. They continued to rule in the shadows, their influence shaping the course of human history, but always apart, always aloof.

### The Present Day
In the present day, the Nobles have all but forgotten their true origins. They live in secret, blending in with human society when necessary but always maintaining their distance. However, the bonds that tie them to the *Heavenly Blood Demon* remain, hidden deep within their souls. There are whispers of the demon's return, of the possibility that the rift between dimensions could open once more, bringing with it the being who created them.

Some Nobles fear this, while others see it as an opportunity to finally understand their true nature. The *Noblesse*, the most powerful among them, holds the key to the truth, but the knowledge comes with a heavy burden. As the rift slowly begins to widen, the Nobles must confront their past and the true source of their power, or risk being consumed by it.

This rewritten universe explores themes of identity, power, and the consequences of forgotten origins, as the Nobles grapple with the realization that they are not the natural apex of evolution, but rather the products of a long-forgotten experiment by an interdimensional being.
