Bro, I'm not an Undead!

This did not include the very makings of the world as that had been explored countless times over, by the teachings from the Purity covering that in great and excruciating detail.

What Aigas’ history entailed was the age after the various creatures of Aigas were formed.

This was said to be 90,000 years ago.

Some records say that the first living things to gain advanced intelligence were the Dragons.

These were the mighty creatures that were said to have been the previous dwellers of the land in the North, Edagon where the giants now resided.

The connection between the Dragons and Giants was not fully understood, especially not to humans but the giant humanoids were said to have been the superior race, better than both the Sif and the humans in all aspects after the great flying creatures that preceeded them.

They were the first to completely recognise the will of the Deities, in particular Quintess who they loved instinctively.

The crust of Aigas itself._.

They did not shun the other Deities, except for Boron, and taught these among themselves, building shrines to pay respects to the Deities.

To the other two Deities, each week.

To Quintess, each day.

Their population, flourished, gaining strength and continued knowledge through a channel that no human knew until one day, the giants decided to travel from Edagon and descend South to where the other continents were positioned to share this profound knowledge.

They reached Opungale first, which was closest from the long stretch of distance to Edagon.

They arrived with their bulks, sharing peacefully and educating the Sif about the Deities and propounding the knowledge that it was Listafelle who made them, the Deity who became the vast waters themselves.

The Sif who were naturally drawn to nature were pleased with this knowledge, offering themselves to the blessing of Listafelle, whom they saw as the Great Mother and detaching themselves from the revering of the forests which they had dedicated their Deities. Yet, they still loved them.

The giants were pleased that the message of the Deities was so easily accepted by the Sif and they moved further South to Feinheath after leaving some of their own to continue guiding the Sif.

Unlike in Opungale, the giants were met with resistance from the humans who had all manner of beliefs that they clung to.

However, because of their natural authority stemming from their origin, the giants managed to suppress the humans without committing much harm, teaching these creatures that it was Quintess and Listafelle who made them.

It was in this time that the Known Language was created by the Giants and taught to the Sif and the humans so that all three races could associate.

It took quite some time for the humans to adapt, but many eventually accepted, with others being so enthralled by this that they began a new movement to further consolidate the belief.

A movement called the Purity.

The giants nodded, seeing as the humans had fully accepted the message they gave and they journeyed, once more leaving some of their own while the rest went to the last stop.

Amanas.

This continent remained mysterious even until today.

As they approached, they faced resistance.

A massive barrier that surrounded the entire continent refused them passage.

The giants tried their best to break through it with their power, but it became clear that even the combined assault of their entire race wouldn’t even make a dent in this barrier.

It took years of relentless trials for the giants to finally give up as entry into Amanas was proven to be simply impossible.

For a time, 8,000 years to be exact, there was nothing but peace on all three continents with the giants roaming over them, and teaching things about their Deities and mana.

How to manipulate it, how it permeated through many bodies and caused a change.

It was all profound.

Inevitably though, the peace was eventually broken.

The sole reason for this was, the Sif and the humans noticed that the giants, did not intend to leave.

With each passing year, they brought in things from their continent, settling over in their lands and breeding as they multiplied, taking up space which was once theirs.

Of course, one would wonder why it took over 8,000 years for these races to notice that the Giants were settling permanently.

The reason was simple.

The giants had never been that many to begin with.

Only a few hundred had only existed in the beginning, and reproduction among giants took more than a hundred years with a high possibility of miscarriage.

They steadily multiplied until they inserted themselves into the systems of these races and then turned to trying to bend them according to their will.

This, the humans and the Sif could not accept.

And yet, the giants refused to leave as they claimed credit for gracing the humans and Sif with knowledge they may have never come to know.

With this point reached, the First Grand War was waged.

The humans fought against the Giants on Feinheath and the Sif fought against the Giants on Opungale.

The hidden brutality and callous nature of the Giants was finally revealed as they used their immense powers to stomp over the ‘lesser’ races they had taught.

Ungrateful worms, they called them.

In this War, which continued for 200 years, special humans and Sif arose, bearing forth new techniques to wield mana that were exclusive to them.

Unique expressions of power.

This was when Advanced and Hidden classes were born.

It was only with these that humans and Sif gained a foothold in the war, pushing away the Giants from their continents.

It was only one of the first victories but it was a cause for celebration.

Mighty heroes emerged among the humans.

One of them being a certain man by the name Fulgardt, of the nation of Maqi.

Unfortunately, this was only half of the story related to the history of Aigas. As the fighting did not end with the First Grand War.

Why was this entire history important? Why was this exposition even necessary?

Well…

Because a certain Discount Human had read it in its entirety over seven days, gaining a fundamental appreciation of the world in which he resided.

As for the strength he had amassed in this time…
