Eternal Thief

The Golden Sky World,

The sky of this world was not blue, rather it was golden, so the name given to it was 'Golden Sky'.

There were billions of life forms living in this vast world and there were further categorized into different races or species. 

However, between these many races, there are ten races at the top of the food chain of Golden Sky World. The top three of them were 'Rank First Devils', 'Rank Second Demons', and 'Rank Third Ancient Hunters'.

Among these top ten races, Rank Fourth was 'Humans'. Humans are known for their cunning nature and intelligent mind, they were second in Intelligent after devils.

Humans were born with bottomless ambition, they always want more no matter how much you gave them, they will never be satisfied with it. For hundreds of thousands of years, humans try to overthrow the top three races and wanted to become the master of this world, but failed miserably.

Because Humans are inferior to the top three races in many aspects, like their bodies are not as 'powerful and born with supernatural abilities like the Demons, or tough minds and 'Blood Memory Heritage' of the Devil clans, and they didn't even have the 'elemental bloodlines' of the hunters.

Humans have always been on bad terms with other races because of their desire for power. They will never accept being inferior to other races. The things that drag them down were that they didn't trust each other and fight and scheme among themselves. 

They're not very united like other races and only show unity when some immense crisis was upon them. That's the biggest reason for the Human race's inferiority.

There are ten big Continents in Golden Sky World. Each continent is distributed between the top ten races according to race strength, or it's ranked. The biggest continent is under the control of the Devil race and so on.

The fourth Continent of the Golden Sky World is called Azure-Winds Continent.As the name suggests, this Continent is famous for its azure winds. On this Continent live humans.

Human civilization differs from other races.

Humans distribute the power structure at different levels. They organized the land of Azure-Wind into four levels and wasteland.

In the wastelands roams bloodthirsty beasts, and it was also home of the humans lowest in status quo. 

The other four levels of the land are called Low-Level Lands, Middle-Level Lands, High-Level Lands, and Royal-Level Lands, respectively.

There are many Cities in low-level lands, and they control wastelands.

In middle-level lands are Kingdoms, they control the Low-Level Lands.

In high-level lands are Empires, and they control the Middle-Level Lands.

In the Royal-level lands reside the Ancient Sects, they have countless years of history.

They control all the Empires, or one could simply say the whole Azure-Wind Continent.

This is a very strict heritage system established up by the Ancient Sects that humans have been following for many years. If anyone tries to go against it, no matter if it's a city or kingdom or even an empire, they will be destroyed by the power above them before the ancient sects could even lift a finger.

Ancient Sects are true overlords of this Continent. No one dares to provoke them, everyone treats them with the utmost respect and even if they are on the right and sects are in the wrong, they dare not to point it out.

The distributions of the lands are based on the Wordily energy called 'Qi'density or quality level.

'Qi' is miraculous energy. If someone has a method to utilize it then this Qi can help one to gain mysterious supreme abilities, a long lifespan, the ability to fly, and many other things that are impossible for a mortal to do.

No one knows where this Qi comes from or who gave it its name. But as long as they remember, they called utilizing the Qi 'Martial Cultivation' and one who used the Qi in its body a 'Martial Cultivator'. 

The higher the level of the lands is, the denser would 'Qi' become.

The density of the Qi plays a huge role in cultivation speed. That's why everyone wants to go to higher-level lands, so they could become stronger than others because, in this 'World of Cultivation'  law of jungle rules, Power means everything here, and the strong trample the weak.

Fourth-level lands are also known as the Lands of cities.

Cities distributed in 3-star, 2-star, and 1-star respectively. 3-star is lowest, where 1-star is highest. Furthermore, low-level lands were divided into Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern lands of cities. 

Northern and Western lands are the lands of Wastelandians or simply put it was the area where wasteland was. Everyone calls the people who live there 'Wastelandians'.

In the Eastern lands of Cities, there is a 2-star city near a bank of a beautiful river. There are rows of colorful flowers near the riverbank making its exquisite scenery and the scent of flowers was drifting in the air with a light wind.

River-Flower City is the name of the city that is located beside the beautiful riverbank.

River Flower City has large city walls and a big bronze city gate that's only open for important and rich people. For commoners, there was a small gate beside the big gate for them to enter and exit the city.

The city was divided into two regions, the outer region, and the inner region.

In the outer region, mostly commoners and mortal lives. However, in the inner region live the nobles and 'martial cultivators. The City Lord Mansion was also in the inner region of the city.

Life was far tougher for poor commoners in this world. They had to work hard to earn their living. Some of them even become slaves of nobles just to stay alive. In nobles' eyes, they were just like animals with intelligence; they didn't pity them who told them to be born like this right? 

_____________________

In the outer region of River-Flower City.

In the most barren part of the city was located slums.

People who didn't have money to buy a decent house can always buy cheap huts here.

The area of slums was filled with uneven roads with trash scattered everywhere. No one comes here to clean this place regularly. That's why shelter here is so cheap. 

In a small muddy valley of slums, there was a small rundown hut made of scrap metals. There were some holes in the roof of the little hut.

In this rundown-hut lives someone who's going to change the entire structure of the Golden Sky World one day!
