Lore & Story

* The Dark Elf Selena had been dependent on her sister Karina since childhood. Selena maintained her innocent nature under the protection of her sister, until she discovered the dirty things her sister Karina had done for her. She thought that she had become a burden for her sister. In order to gain more power, she dedicated herself to the Abyss, but did not want to be completely controlled by the Abyss and ultimately became a horrifying demon. South of the Moniyan Empire lies a bottomless abyss, engraved into this barren landscape as if an ancient demon used the sharpest of blades to carve a disfiguring scar into the Land of Dawn. People call this the Shadow Abyss. Sealed away at the bottom of this legendary abyss, lies the most terrible demon in the Land of Dawn - the Abyss Dominator. But as the seal slowly fades, the will of the abyss gradually grows stronger. The demons at the bottom of the abyss tirelessly devise plots to strengthen the power of darkness, persuading misguided believers to provide them with sacrifices for their evil cause. They use these sacrifices to feed the 'Abyss Devil', a monster formed of the purest dark energy that waits in the darkness to devour its prey. Selena, a young Dark Elf, was sacrificed to the Shadow Abyss by fanatics in exchange for dark energy, and as Elves are the Abyss Devil's favorite sacrifices, Selena was offered up immediately by the demons. The Abyss Devil maniacally drilled into Selena, severe pain and desperation spreading through every corner of the young Elf girl's body. Just as she was about to be consumed by dark magic, a miracle occurred - a warm blue light enveloped the girl, and the dark abyssal magic and this mystical power began waging a savage battle inside her fragile, young body. Selena awoke find herself lying in the depth of the abyss, her skin now a mysterious blue tone and her lavender eyes filled with a scarlet glow, with the Abyss Devil lying quietly at her side. The Demons of the Abyss were busy wondering what had just happened. Little did they know, the will of the Abyss had arrived. This girl is loved deeply, and this love has protected her from being consumed by darkness. The Abyss and the Moon Goddess - these two opposing forces have reached a balance within her body. An ancient, heavy voice echoed through the minds of the demons, "Leave this girls to me. She will become the strongest warrior of the Shadow Abyss!" The demons obeyed the abyss' command and left her there. When Selena reappeared before the demonic inhabitants of the abyss, with the Abyss Devil at her side, she had completely forgotten her past. She found that she could skillfully manipulate the abyss to release dark magic, a demon capable of tearing her enemies to shreds. The will of the Shadow Abyss appointed her as its voice, making it her duty to rule over the demonic denizens. Even the proud Queen of Blood Magic began to feel unnerved upon seeing this young Dark Elf Girl, not only because the abyss had chosen her, but also because Alice could sense the terrible power lying within this seemingly cute and mischievous youngster.
