Everything began with the reign of Darkness.
Then,\p[15] from Darkness rose the Light.
The Light gave birth to 4 Mighty Energies, first Eolh, followed by Eoh, Ing and Nyd
From the Mighty Energies emerged nine Gods with the ability
to change the universe as they saw fit it.
The gods lived in peace, and together created the world of Ergia
One God created the Sun, bringing forth warmth and light to the world
Another created night to balance with the day, thus forming the moon and the stars.
From the day and night cycle, the third brought forth nature. This meant to existence of the trees and plants.
The fourth God gave existence to all of the animals and fed them with what was brought by nature.
The fifth created a second race of animals and he fed them with the first, and so the food chain began.
Then the sixth God, whose name was Esther, created Man and Woman and wanted to give them her power.
However, some Gods refused the idea of being equal to Men. And so started the first war.
To make peace, the seventh God created Arts, so Men could create things from raw materials.

...But it was so far away from Esther's wish. So the eighth God, who supported Esther, gave Men the ability to create anything at will.\p[160]
Magic was born and it was given the name of their world : Ergia
Filled with vengeance, the ninth God split the souls of Men in two and gave them the ability to destroy as well as giving them independence from the Gods.
And so chaos started. Men made the lands change, and the whole world was transformed by their will.
Men changed their shape, creatures and mutations were born, and the very laws of nature were bent.
Finally when a climax was reached, the laws of universe felt apart and there was a Big Bang.
And then the silence...

But from silence a feeble whisper rose, not all things were gone
Fragments of magic remained underneath the ashes.
And so life reborn little by little as Gods, fallen and weak, were watching themselves crumble. Then began the era of 'the Fall of Gods
From what remained of magic, Esther instilled life to one man.
And before falling into an age-long sleep she put a stele to remind all who read it of the mistakes that were made in the past.
On which she wrote:
From The Darkness shall rise the Light
From The Light shall rise the Darkness

Heric is an innocent boy who's about to meet the spirit of Esther, the fallen Goddess. He's going to realize he's supposed to be some descendant of the Man awaken by Esther centuries ago.
The prophecy shall become truth and "From The Light shall rise the Darkness". The hero is bound to learn magic and find the 4 mighty energies to repel the Darkness.
