Chapter 430: The Six Eras Of The World [Part 1]



"But not all Fomorians are monstrous. Some of them look just like Humans and are extremely handsome and beautiful as well. Not as handsome as me though. A being who can surpass my good looks hasn\'t been born yet."

Ethan did his best to keep the calmness on his face while resisting the strong urge of his lips to twitch.

He had to admit that Vincent was really handsome. Perhaps, he was indeed the most handsome man he had seen in his lifetime.

But seeing him boast about his good looks only made Ethan sigh in his heart.

"Since we have time, let me give you a brief history lesson of the world, Ethan," Vincent stated. "You see, this world has undergone Six Eras. Well, some people say that it is Seven Eras instead of six, but we\'ll get to that later."

Vincent once again pointed at the projection that hovered above the sea.

"Thousands of years ago, when the beings of this world were thriving, a calamity that no one expected happened."

"This was called the Great Flood."

"A flood that drowned the entire world, killing everything in it. Almost all the religions in Midgard begin with this tale, and some say it was a true event that happened thousands of years ago."

Vincent then smiled mischievously. "But, not everyone died. There were many variations of this tale, and among them were the people of Cessair. According to the myth, in order to escape the flood, they were told to go to one particular place in Midgard to survive the flood.

"Similar to the Arc that was built by a man called Noah, they too, built three ships but lost two of them during the journey.

"Depending on the version of the story you are listening to, they will often say that among them, three men survived, alongside fifty women. These three men then divided these women evenly to repopulate the world.

"If you are talking about a harem story, then this is the harem story before the Great Flood took place. However, one of the men died, so the women had no choice but to split themselves between the two surviving men.

"Then, one of the two men died of exhaustion because he couldn\'t keep up with all the women who had become part of his harem. Well, even I would die of exhaustion if I were to have that many women at once."

"So, Ethan, make sure to do it in moderation. I only have one wife, so I\'m fine. But you plan to have more than one wife, so make sure to pace yourself well, okay? Now where was I…"

Vincent pondered a bit before remembering the part he had left off.

\'When the two men died, only a guy called Fintan remained. Knowing that he would suffer the same fate as the other man if he didn\'t do anything, he fled to a cave, leaving everyone behind until the Great Flood appeared."

Vincent sighed before muttering something along the lines of "even I will not be able to make my little brother stand for a long time against fifty women," which Ethan decided to ignore.

The handsome man then continued his tale and said something that made Ethan arch an eyebrow.

"When the flood came, Fintan shapeshifted into a salmon in order to survive," Vincent stated. "This is why the Salmon has become part of the Order of Ouroboros. It was the animal that allowed the cycle to continue once more by repopulating the world.

"So, how did Fintan help repopulate the world when all the women died? It\'s because of the Arc that this guy, Noah, made. Aside from the animals, there were also people inside of it, which helped mankind to once again roam the world.

"And Fintan, who was one of the people of Cessair, had become the pillars of this new era."

Vincent waved his hand and a new group of people appeared in the projection.

"The next one is the people of Partholon. These guys are a pitiful bunch. When people started thriving in the world, they came and introduced farming, cooking, brewing, and building.

"But the majority of them died in a plague, and what little remained mingled with the community they were in and lost their identity as a group. The third group was the Nemed, and these people held supernatural powers.

"They were also the first race that fought against the Fomorians, which had appeared in the land and started to terrorize the early Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastkins, and other races that had appeared in the world

"They managed to win a few victories, but in the end, the Fomorians still won and almost annihilated their race, forcing the Nemeds to flee in search of a safe place to live in peace. These three groups of people represented the first Three Eras of the world."

Vincent paused for a bit before snapping his fingers.

"Now, we\'ve come to the fun part of the history lesson, Ethan," Vincent said. "The Fourth Age of the World was led by the Fir Bolgs. Similar to the Nemeds, these people possessed supernatural powers and had actively fought against the Fomorians as well.

"This new group of people actually managed to hold their ground, even expanding their territories. They were also the first race of Humans to create High Kings. These Kings wielded vast expanses of lands and established their presence in the world.

"But that all ended when the Tuatha De Dannan arrived. These Deities had asked the Fir Bolg to share half the land with them, but the High King of the Fir Bolg, Eochaid, refused.

"Because of this, a battle between the two factions emerged. The Champion of the Fir Bolg challenged Nuada, the leader of the Tuatha De Dannan in one-on-one combat.

"Sreng managed to cut off Nuada\'s right hand with his sword, but the Fir Bolg still lost the battle in the end when their High King, Eochaid, was slain by the Morrigan.

"After this battle, the Tuatha De Danan told the Fir Bolg that they could have a quarter of the land, but their presence after that battle diminished.

"After losing their High King on top of having their army nearly wiped out, they were unable to defend themselves from the Fomorians, who simply watched as the two sides fought against each other.

"So in order to preserve their bloodline, more than half of them left Midgard and went to the Shire Continent. Yes, I am talking about your continent, Ethan.

"Even now, these people still exist, and they now go by another name, which you people refer to as the Druids."

Ethan was mesmerized by Vincent\'s story telling because the man was very good with words.

Seeing that the young man was a good listener, the older man decided to tell him a few things, which only a select few in the world knew by heart.
