Volume 1 - Seeds of Renaissance

Prologue

The Holy Book. Gospel brought by the Great Seraph to lead the living with Faith. It's not questionable whether or not the contents of it are real. Nobody dares question the Faith. The Holy Book contains the history of Acoptia.

- Or at least what is deemed to be the history...

By the Holy Book the beginning of Acoptia goes:

Before the times of humanity, the one whose name shall not be said, great evil, the darkness, the being best described by the word [death] came out of the shadows. The envelopment of [darkness].

Razvan.

To massacre the living he marched bringing death to the lands alongside his army of death and his Warlords.

From the countless deaths and ceaseless slaughter, a being from blood was born. The First Vampire.

Dracula.

He became Razvan's right hand and his most feared general. He swept the battlefields slaughtering his enemies and absorbing their blood with his legendary sword [BloodDrinker]. He kept growing stronger and stronger each battle.

After witnessing the great evil, Great Seraph, Highest Holy Being, stood up from his heavenly home and went head to head with [death]. But Great Seraph had an army of his own. The celestial army protecting the living. He too had his Divine Generals and his right hand.

Archangel Raphael.

The 2 sides were evenly matched for thousands of years. That is until the decisive moment occurred. Dracula overflowed with greed and bloodlust from absorbing immeasurable amounts of blood betrayed Razvan.

But why, You may ask.

"If I ruled the world myself I could engulf all the blood I want. The living would line up in front of me waiting for their blood to be absorbed. HAHAHAHAHAHA! What a brilliant plan!" - He thought to himself.

And so he turned against Razvan and attacked him when his guard was down. The Great Seraph used this chance and struck with his celestial army!

In the crossfire of Dracula and Razvan, the army of death without the support from the Warlords was being slain by the Great Seraph. When Razvan finally realised what was occurring, it was already too late.

The army of death was abolished by the celestial army leaving Razvan and Dracula surrounded. The remainings of the once army of death were left in the Plains of Ruins. Razvan, outnumbered by the Great Seraph and his Divine Generals, was sealed off to the Shadow Realm, The Shadow Mountains, Nilfheim.

Dracula tried to escape, but it was all in vain. He was purged by the holy power, leaving nothing but blood. What was blood, is now once again,

blood.

After roughly 5000 years of war, the living triumphed victoriously.
.

.

.

The lands ruined by war gave birth to something new...

New [life].

Great Seraph used his powers to give life and so various unique races were created. With the new life created, the Great Seraph and his celestial army disappeared...

From the blood left by Dracula his descendants were born, leading to the creation of the Demon Kingdom. The descendants became royalty ruling many demons.

And so the World of Acoptia was formed.

The Faith spread throughout Acoptia worshipping the Great Seraph. Although Faith says the great evil is gone, the whispers in the shadows are getting stronger, whispers of his return from the Shadow Mountains of Nilfheim, and his army from the Plains Of Ruins.

[Death] may rise again...
