Enn Vassili is the name of 9 kingdoms that spread all around the world. Each kingdom is filled with a clan that has their own form and characteristics. The 9 kingdoms include:

- Draecorona\, kingdom of the Dragons at the north pole

- Groilandia\, a land filled with lush green forests in the northwest.

- Mavr Lykos\, a kingdom covered in fog in the northeast

- Vouna\, the holy land located in the center of Enn Vassili

- Chaldene\, the land that guarded by the Unicorn in the southeast

- Nereida\, kingdom that filled by flower gardens in the northeast

- Miwamori\, inhabited by fire foxes in the east

- Asteria\, a continent which floating in the southern sky

- Thalassas\, all oceans in Enn Vassili as the territory

Enn Vasiili, bright blue skies and vast green meadows spread out. Sparrows fly one after another, chirping. The summer breeze is gentle, the sun's rays seem to embrace warmly and peacefully. But suddenly the grass dried and the birds turned to dust. Followed by an open black hole gaping in the sky devours everything on earth. The light disappeared, the air became extremely cold. The earth is dried with dead trees and cracked ground.

But a comet then passed with its golden tail, splitting the sky so that the Milky Way and everything in it appeared. As it passed, the comet seemed to say..

".. it's the turn of the leaders to save the world.."

The golden Comet then crashed into the black hole, erasing it from the sky. Remaining Nine meteors that glide and explode in 9 different places. Heavy rain then fell as if the water just poured from the sky. After that, only white and emptiness could be seen as far as sight.

DEG! Ali's eyes widened when he woke up from his sleep. He turned his sight to the bedroom window where a pair of thin white curtains were gently blowing in the wind. The morning sky was clear and cloudless, in contrast to the dream he had just seen from his sleep. The dream he knew was not just a sleeping flower. Ali then got out of bed, washed his face and changed his nightgown into a long-sleeved shirt wrapped in a white robe with a hood with gold beaded detail. With her favorite brown high-soled shoes, she exited the room down the stairs to her castle library.

“Good morning—Mr. Ali?” two Ann Meyra castle workers greeted him.

The two maids were confused to see Joseph walking fast until he was sweating and panting as if being chased by something. His hurried steps echoed down the length of Ann Meyra's hallway. Arriving at the library he immediately headed to the back row of shelves where old books full of mysteries whose authors were not known were neatly arranged.

"Where is.. that book.. it should be around here.." His strong fingers were sorting among dozens of fragile copies which the language was slightly different from the language of that era. "Ah! This is it..” Once he found the book he was looking for, he immediately took it. As he sat at the tables facing one of the library's large windows, he sorted through the shabby pages of an ancient book that recounted legends of the past.

20.000 years ago in the Enn Vassili, a massive war between the 9 kingdoms broke out and caused millions of lives to be lost. The 9 kingdoms are Draecorona, Groilandia, Mavr Lykos, Vouna, Asteria, Chaldene, Thalassas, Nereida and Miwamori. Each of these kingdoms is filled with 9 different clans that hold 9 elements of life. Dragon, Beast, Shapeshifter, Demigod, Celestial, Human, Siren, Pixy and Kitsune (tailed fire foxes).

The endless battle between the 9 clans shattered the earth and seemed want to erase the traces of life forever. The ice that the Dragons spewed froze the seas and rivers, the lightning of the Beasts blew up the forests and settlements. Misleading Shapeshifter’s mist and Demigod magic that traps their victims. The Celestials innate strong wind clashed with the earthquake created by human wizard and witches. Sirens' tidal wave and the rain of Pixies' magic rose thorns assaulted everyone around them. Forest fires caused by Kitsune fire leave ash and smoke that suffocating the chest. In just half a day, thousands of villages and dozens of cities were destroyed by it. The war was caused by an earthquake which resulted in the opening of a giant fissure at the south pole from which a large amount of Magia (magic energy) spread throughout the Enn Vassili. Unlike the original 9 clans' Magia which are positive, the negative earth crevice Magia is absorbed by the 9 clans' magic system and affects each individual to fight aimlessly, relentlessly until they loses or runs out of life force due to too much chanting spells and magic.

Dragons and Beasts with fiery red eyes, Celestials with 3 pairs of wings, Kitsune with multiple tails, all clashed blinded by the magnitude of Magia's blow from the earth's rift. Unable to stand watching the world slowly destroyed, an Alicorn descended from heaven and then built a giant gate with his magic to close the gap in the earth. Wings flaps and a blue scarf dangled along with the magic that emanated from his horn. Gate of south, that's the name given by those who know the legend. The mighty Alicorn locks the giant gate with 9 different keys and spreads it across the 9 kingdoms of Arc Chaestra so that no one with evil intentions interferes with the curse within the gate. After spreading the nine keys, he then stayed there quietly. Keeping the gates of disaster tight and no longer disrupting the balance of the universe.

"It’s wasn’t good.. after 2000 years passed the gate finally .." there’s a long sigh at the end of his words.

Ali closed his book, he didn't think he had just received a message through his dream last night. The golden-tailed comet he saw was the embodiment of the Alicorn himself, while the 9 meteors were the keys to the Gate of South spread across 9 kingdoms. The black hole is a form of the Gate of South which is likely to reopen in the near future. Then the words of the golden comet, is a special message for him. The 9 rulers of the kingdom meant him, the Father of Demigod who held the highest power in Vouna along with 8 Kings from other lands.

Heavy rain is a symbol of grief, a sign that the Alicorn has returned to heaven because he has been on earth for too long. While the white color and the emptiness after it means an uncertain future, depending on whether or not the world is saved by them.

While silently staring at the Gate of South painting on the pages of his book, he then folded his arms and closed his eyes and thinking. The Demigod Clan served as the link between the world and heaven. The vision in his dream is a real sign. He felt that it would not be easy to find 9 keys hidden for 2000 years in 9 kingdoms that he had never visited. The relationship between the 9 kingdoms is also quite bad, especially after the Gate of South war. The 9 clans hate each other or rather are afraid of each other. Joseph himself admitted that he was afraid of Dragons and Beasts because of their ferocity during the war in the legend. He wasn't sure whether he would trust Shapeshifter or Siren because they were both said to be good at deceiving and misleading. Celestials and Demigods have a connected history, will the Celestial King believe in him?

On the other hand, he felt really confused. Regarding the decision for Vouna, which is the country he leads, it must involve the Minister and his subordinates. Meanwhile this issue concerns Enn Vassili, 9 kingdoms, with their own leaders. Never meeting or getting to know each other, he didn't even know their names. He stared at the table for a long time until he finally decided to leave, carrying the Gate of South legend book in his hand.
