Introduction

About 650 years ago monstrous beasts appeared throughout the land, a consecutive disasters occurred that changed the geography of the land. A group of people that called themselves “Deity” gather all humans within their reach. They created a barrier throughout a big mass of land that created their last stand. Monsters that trapped inside the barrier was cleared by the Deities. Monsters from outside cannot fly over the barrier, people cultivated lands and collected rain waters for their survival. To manage the big landmass the Deities given to them, they scatter throughout the land and created towns. Since there are 8 Deities, there are 8 towns named: Apilos, Arin, Eisodos, Ergon, Irelia, Olin, Oseras, Uteria, each of the town was govern by a single Deity.

This Deities aren’t really immortals they just age at a extremely slow rate. Since time is inevitable Deities grows old and an opening appeared from each sides of the barrier. With these monsters from outside coming inside and ferociously attack humans on sight. Since Deities are too old to fight the monsters themselves, each of them created an orb at the centre of their town that will give anyone an ability that surpasses human capabilities. The Deities are also too old to manage the town, each of them choose a trustworthy individual that will lead the town. The Deities give them power personally that exceeds those who get their power from the orb. This power can be passed down to a chosen successor. With these desperate preparation, each town somehow able to hold off monsters from outside.

Those who get their power from the orb will be called mercenaries, they will be paid to fight off monsters coming to the town. Furthermore years research from outside the barrier, they found out that monsters created nests to grow their forces. They found out that there are two kinds of monsters, first those nests monsters that work mutually with other same kinds, the other ones are wandering monsters simply called “Wanderers” they don’t usually work in group and they have no exact habitat, they just wander around mindlessly and attack everyone in sight even other monsters except for other wanderers. The nests monsters seems imitate the way of living of ants, they have queen which produces underling that will serve with it’s life for the queen. As for the mercenaries they have a classification, Damage Dealers(Some use magic), Supports, Tanks, Scouts(They are almost the same as Damage Dealers but their main purpose is to scout nests from inside and outside the barrier, they are adept in stealth and speed that makes them excellent for scouting). Each nests has a level to identify its threat: Low rank nest, Intermediate Nest, Advance Nest, and High Grade Nest. Nests from the same levels aren’t really the same difficulty, the ranking system aren’t highly accurate they are just estimation. If the scout give nests a false rank it will be punished by taking it’s power. If a mercenary's power is taken, it will be disabled( Blind, Deaf, Immobile, etc)

Eisodos is located at the southeast part of the barrier. It is also the closest town to one of each entrance which means they get attacked more frequently than other towns, that caused their few numbers of population.

Eleu Triya comes from a village near the town of Eisodos, since childhood Eleu wants to work as a mercenary. Her father works as a blacksmith, her mother is a housewife. Her mother is always against Eleu's idea to become a mercenary because of it’s high risk, but her father is supporting her.
