In the beginning, there were no monsters, or humans and only the gods and those now known as evil gods. During those times, the world was many times larger, and flooded with a special energy called mana.

The same energy from novels and anime which allowed the gods to use magic. Magic allowed the gods to create, destroy and grow in power.

However, each god carried a unique form of mana coursing through their veins, fused with their bloodlines. In the Far East, in the cold, snowy mountains. A black wolf said to have devoured all other gods of the same race is first to be judged by others as an evil god.

Meanwhile, in eastern Europa, some gods ruled over blood or the stars. However, one particular god became obsessed with the concept of death. He created an army of undead monsters, which spread death and destruction throughout his world. This was his form of entertainment.

Others began to grow irritated and angry at his actions. Soon, the gods fought each other, and after a battle of many years.

This war devastated the planet, covered in devastated lands where the dark magic would never allow life to exist again. All the beautiful flora and rivers became corrupted. Hundreds of nature-based gods died to the dark, necrotic magic that infested their roots and souls, slowly killing them.

In the end only a handful of gods remained, exhausted of fighting…

The goddess of the sea was a hulking abomination with millions of tentacles. A giant black wolf able to swallow anything and transform into countless forms. A bat is able to take the shape of a human while controlling blood.

Some smaller gods survived by avoiding battle or using their magic to change their shape and hide.

However, the most powerful ones decided things couldn’t continue as they were, leading to the formation of the great council of old gods.

The gods created hundreds of races through intermingling and breeding as they tried to establish a new order. They shattered the huge planet into dozens of smaller identical worlds using the magic of an Eastern god. His power over space surpasses all others. A god whose face resembled a cat and who was the guardian of the sands.

The giant bat created vampires, while the great goddess of the sea created sea life, and special creatures like mermaids and Scylla appeared. At the same time, the giant wolf created Lycan, werewolves and direwolves.

In the beginning, deformed monsters filled with aggression appeared. Time passed, and the gods began to lose hope, many of them falling into slumber, sealing themselves within their respective planets.

Meanwhile, another race appeared, created by an unknown god… An incomplete yet adaptable race known as humanity.

At first, the gods ignored the humans, but they began to grow in number and power, creating weapons without magic or the special powers of their children. At first, the monsters and humans fought in a brutal war. However, the humans soon overtook the world and became the primary race. Yet the gods could do nothing but watch the humans hunting and killing their beloved children.

Instead, monsters learned to rule and guide the humans who became arrogant and easily corrupted, creating a hierarchy of their own.

And so, the world continued for aeons until the gods became forgotten or thought of as mere legends. Some of the gods died to protect the world and keep stability. In contrast, others went into deep hibernation. A few of the most powerful gods, however, continued to live on and watch their creations grow.

Except for one, the wolf that swallowed the world was cunning and became bored fighting against the gods. Thus, he made a choice.

He ended his life as a god, breaking his long relationship with the mother of vampires, a beautiful woman with red hair and blue eyes. And the mother of werewolves was petite, a lovely woman with white hair and golden eyes.

The evil god born as a wolf aimed to be reborn as one of his children.

Unbeknownst to him, other gods also chose this path… all with different desires.

Meanwhile, present day.

Seven hours passed after the special massage and bone treatment from Luisa, and Nikolai finally began to stir from his sudden sleep. He remembered nothing about what had happened.

The moment the first set of treatments ended, his head hit the pillow, and he went out like a light; not even the sounds of a thunderstorm could wake him up.

‘It’s a strange room… where am I?’

He opened his eyes to find a strange ceiling and a room he had never seen before. His mind felt groggy and tired. A strange headache made him groan in pain, and he had a weird sense of déjà vu. A feeling that waking up in a foreign place was something that happened to him often.

‘Where am I? What happened to me?’

“Are you awake, Nikolai?” A male’s voice sounded from the doorway, energetic and filled with happiness. The man was obviously the silver-haired Alexei Baldon. He gazed at Nikolai with a smirk. “You survived, huh?”

“Hmm…” Nikolai tried to raise his body, only to feel lighter than ever, almost flying off the bed using too much strength. He looked at his arms, seeing his pale white skin and sculpted muscle. Unlike before, the blood inside his body flowed rapidly with no issues. The blockages in his body all vanished.

“It seems like the treatment worked better than we expected,” Alexei walked into the room, closing the door behind him and handing Nikolai a cloth outfit.

It reminded him of the karate outfits used by his grandfather. The fabric felt like silk, soft and smooth against his fingers. “I was unsure if you would awaken, but it seems you are a fighter, and you survived. So I’m glad to see that.”

Nikolai rubbed his face and took the expensive gi.

“We will train every day for six hours in the morning. I won’t tolerate lateness or missing Issues. If you have any problems, you can tell me, and I will try to help you with whatever is happening. If you need to take a day off, that is fine, but you must make sure to tell me in advance. I don’t want to wait for a brat. Respect and discipline are everything.”

Alexei seemed to have accepted Nikolai before he tapped the young man’s shoulder with a smirk. “Thanks to you, Luisa seems to be happy, so please keep coming. From now on, I’ll treat you like my little brother, so don’t be a stranger, alright?”

Nikolai nodded a slight smile on his face. “Understood. Can I ask you about the training? What will I be learning?”

“Everything I can teach you,” Alexei said with a sigh, his face serious. “However, we will start with the basics, which will be quite extreme; prepare yourself tonight and come in the morning to my Iron Fist Gym in the south.”

Nikolai’s eyes widened for a moment before he smiled and got dressed. After a quick meal and chat with Alexei, he escorted him back to his home, passing through the portal once again.

After returning to the normal world, Nikolai felt different from before.

Nikolai gazed across the area and saw a beautiful woman looking back at him with red hair and eyes, a look of longing and fear.

He wanted to chase her, the face familiar to him and nostalgic. However… the moment he moved, she vanished, and in her place, Selene stood with a shocked face, staring at him while holding an umbrella in her hand.

‘What was that just now…’ He wondered while watching Selene rushing towards him with brisk steps.

“You’re finally where I can find you…” She mumbled before leaning against his chest. Her voice was barely audible.

“I’m glad to see you,” Nikolai replied before sighing.

He couldn’t believe how much she changed. The feeling of her breath blowing down his chest, even the flutter of her heart beating in his ears, caused him to feel more embarrassed than usual. His ears turned red, and he rubbed the back of his neck.

But Selene didn’t seem to care. “Come on, let’s go back to my apartment. I’ll drive you.”

She really missed him; that night at the auction, something changed inside her.

The moment she gave herself to him, everything that held her back before seemed to lose importance. Selene stopped letting her pride deter her actions and feelings. So she didn’t mind being seen holding hands with a younger man as she walked towards her car.

A few people stared at them strangely, yet neither Selene nor Nikolai cared about what people would say or do.

The feeling was so fresh; seeing new sides of each other made it feel like the first time they met in their life. It didn’t matter if it was something that could cause future issues.

“Did you miss me? I couldn’t sleep because you didn’t reply… I was worried you got hurt.” Her soft voice sounded as she narrowed her eyes. Her hand slowly slid up his thigh.

Nikolai shook his head before explaining the situation. He couldn’t say he didn’t miss her, so instead told her about his body and that someone had helped him. Though he made sure not to use Alexei’s and Lusia’s names, Selene listened with a warm smile.

“I always miss you, Selene… Let’s go somewhere nice. I want to spend the day with you.”

“Ah… really?” Selene’s cheeks became slightly red, her hand slipping off his lap before pressing the ignition. At first, she thought he might just want to go home, but now he said that. She didn’t want to rush to her apartment just yet.

‘Hehe~ my first boyfriend, let’s go… and enjoy a date like humans.’
