It was peaceful. Was.

Amidst a bustle of people, a gaunt, filthy, and scrawny boy forced his way through the crowd, slipping in between people and shoving them with his little, grubby hands. His physique, which is thinner than a stick, is astonishingly capable of pushing others out of his way.

People grumbled and admonished him for the disturbance, complaining about getting their clothing dirty or their shoes trodden on. Some even raised their fists in an attempt to teach the mischievous boy a lesson, but were unable to do so since the small boy is like a rat in a sewer, easily getting lost in the dense crowd.

The same situation occurred only a few feet behind them, but the crowd cleared the way on their own initiative rather than to be implicated by incoming mad man. The boy was being chased by a swarthy, bald man with clothes covered with flour. His eyes were popping out and reddish, brandishing a giant sharp cleaver knife in the air.

Anyone who will get on his way will surely be killed.

In this little town that is remote from the influence of the capitol, this cold-blooded scenario fairly common. The distinction between the social strata are clear, with the wealthy being too prosperous and affluent and the underprivileged being more impoverished. It can be seen on the streets where anyone could easily spot the rich from the poor.

The law is inadequately enforced, with ruffians populating the streets and slums, frightening the powerless while submitting to those in authority. Everyone is walking on a tight rope while a knife is constantly pointed in their throat.

The disparity made the peasants desperate, driving them to steal and kill just to survive another day.

The young eight-year-old boy managed to slip away from the crowd and made his way into a narrow alley. The area is surrounded with tall building that obscured the skies, leaving it dark and gloomy, allowing barely a sliver of light to slip through.

Despite the darkness, he was able to wander across the alley without mishap. He'd been here before, and each time it was to get away from those who were chasing him.

The boy cowered behind a stack of crates laden with sacks of decaying fruit peels and vegetables. In his hand is a small loaf of bread wrapped in a brown paper bag. He tucks the bread closer to his chest with his eyes wide open, his heart racing, vigilantly watching his surroundings. Fortunately, the owner of the bread shop just ran past the crates and didn't see the little thief hiding.

He is finally at ease.

However, it is not the time to be happy yet. He finally had a chance to fill his hungry stomach with food, but just then, noises of low rumbling came from behind him. He cautiously turned his head around and was startled to see several crimson eyes staring at him.

It was said that there are only two dangerous beings that you should be careful not encountering on the alleys - one is the gang of human traffickers, and the second is this group of crazy dogs.

It just so happens that he met the most dangerous one.

He was already exhausted running away from the chase earlier and yet here he is again running for the same reason. If only his determination to live is not that strong, he could have let himself be bitten and die into death.

But he persisted in his earlier years of suffering; he won't back down just because he was tired and hungry.

While the miserable boy is helplessly running for his life, another person that seems to be older by two years is perched on the edge of a rooftop.

This person is watching all the events happening down the alley, his figure exuding a sense of laziness. His eyes followed the boy's futile effort of escape when the boy was caught by a group of gangsters after losing the dogs.

「He is the protagonist」The system announced mechanically.

Jin Wei made a sound in response.

The world they are now is configured to have mythical framework that is oriented on the protagonist’s endeavor to reach the realm of godliness. That is, the whole point is just to describe the protagonist’s incredible OP feats as he dispatches monsters and other bad guys while accumulating a number of heaven-defying beauties and loyal admirers.

It was rather an appealing cliché trope that draws at the reader’s heart and sentiments as the characters face difficulties and trials while collecting wives…

It was primarily a stallion novel.

The battered boy running in the slums caught Jin Wei's attention. Who would have ever imagined that such a filthy boy would become the hero of a book that would bring him countless wives. But who is he to vilify? Always, the greatest resources are bestowed to those poor miserable individuals.

It all began with a simple story about the genesis of the world and the emergence of various races. There was a total of five races: the humans, werebeasts, faeries, angels, and demons. Each race possesses unique skills that may be considered an advantage over the other races, but they are also a detriment.

This is to keep a race from becoming too powerful that could end the world.

Humans are recognized for their predisposition for learning and level of adaptation. Although they had the shortest lifespans, humans were the most ingenious and even conquered numerous nations against other races because of their knack for intelligence and insatiable curiosity in a diverse range of subjects. These intelligent life forms, however, are hampered by their lack of strength and power.

Humans are regarded as having the lowest rank in problems involving strength, yet they excel in tactical warfare.

The werebeasts race is an animal race that looks like a hybrid between humans and animals. Though, the werebeasts are pure-blooded animals and was only capable of shape shifting due to evolution. They are known for their raw strength and the rumored “sixth sense” that allowed them to foretell the future.

Werebeasts, however, lack the capacity for reason, making them impetuous and prone to being provoked, much like their primitive ancestors. In order to avoid confrontations with other races, they decided to fall into seclusion, hiding within the remote wilderness. Though, some species that likes to live with people could still be found on human towns and cities.

The next one is the faeries, the one considered as the natural spirits of the world. These people are formed and created through magic and had evolved into practitioners of elemental magic. They frequently dwell large numbers, and each of their habitats is required to consist of a tree that sprung from the Elven Tree of Life.

Faeries are said to be an extremely attractive race. This is owing to their regenerative abilities, which allows them to seem younger and live much longer. However, despite their beautiful outer appearance, the faeries are very conceited and self-centered that they only carry out tasks that they are certain would be profitable to them.

They also have a strong dislike of ugliness.

The Children of Light are the designation given to the angels. It’s because angels frequently appear dressed in white and have this kind of “illumination” following their steps. They also had white, large wings that enabled them navigate and fly in the sky, making them the race that dominated the heavens.

Angels are believed to have been born synonymous with the word “Perfection”, as the significant proportion of their characteristics are the good qualities of other races, such as possessing the intelligence of a human, the power and senses of a werebeast, and the elegance and majesty of a faery. Just that angels have very low birth rate. They have the least population amongst the other race.

Finally, the demons, the red-skinned twin-horned race that everyone despises. It is because the demon race is naturally born mischievous and would do anything “bad” without feeling remorse or guilt. They are also strong and clever, possessing abilities that could wipe off an entire nation if they wanted it.  

The demon race is always at odd with angels and humans. They are likewise refined by nature, yet they are regarded wicked owing to their extreme greed, lack of conscience, and vanity. Although they may not always be terrible, their collective behavior is often characterized as vicious.

The world is designed in such a manner that these five races will always be at war. 

The main actors on the stage would be the angels, demons, and humans who have already fought five holy wars. It might be attributed to their conflicting ideologies, particularly humans, who constantly emphasize the morality of life. While angels may be considered tolerant of mankind, the demons constantly infuriate them and make them have the urge to fight.

The other two races, faeries and werebeasts, do not clash often since they always live in isolation. They don’t usually attack other races unless provoked or if their territory had been threatened. They instinctively steer clear of humans and have little interest in either angels or devils.

The story of this world's main protagonist had been set in motion by the introduction of these races.
