World Setting

This story takes place on Earth in the year 2026.

Unlike the Earth known in our world, magic exists here and has existed for thousands of years. Modern technology and magic developed side by side, creating a society where smartphones, skyscrapers, firearms, enchanted artifacts, magical academies, and supernatural creatures are all considered normal parts of everyday life.

Aside from humans, other races exist in this world—races that have also evolved, though not from apes (although one race did evolve from them). These races include:

• Elves — a long-lived race naturally gifted in magic and arcane studies.

• Beastkin — specifically mammalian Beastkin; essentially humans with animal ears, tails, eyes, senses of smell, instincts, and teeth. Despite their appearance, they are fully civilized and integrated into society.

• Demons — a race originating from Hell. However, they are not invaders or enemies of humanity. Demons migrated from Hell to Earth over 5,000 years ago and have long since assimilated into human civilization. They possess human-like appearances, human skin, horns, and tails.

• Dragonkin — a race possessing draconic ancestry. Like demons, they are mostly human in appearance, though they possess horns, tails, and certain draconic traits.

• Kitsune — technically a subtype of Beastkin, but due to their unusually strong affinity for magic, they occupy a unique position somewhere between Beastkin and Elves.

Importantly, races are not confined to specific continents or nations. Instead, races are spread throughout the world and divided by nationality rather than race.

There are Russian elves, American elves, Chinese elves, German elves, Japanese elves, and countless others. The same applies to Beastkin, Demons, Dragonkin, Kitsune, and Humans. Race does not determine nationality, culture, or citizenship.

The modern world is largely peaceful. Governments, corporations, magical institutions, and law enforcement agencies operate much like they do in reality, simply adapted to a world where multiple intelligent races and magic coexist.

Vampires are not considered a race. Instead, vampirism is a rare supernatural disease similar to a plague or magical infection. Individuals affected by it may develop vampiric characteristics and abilities, but they remain members of their original race.

Location

The story takes place in New Eridu.

New Eridu is a massive modern metropolis located on China’s eastern coast near Shanghai. It is one of the largest economic, technological, cultural, and magical centers in Asia.

Towering skyscrapers dominate its skyline while older districts preserve centuries of history and culture. Luxury shopping centers stand beside traditional markets. Corporate headquarters, magical research institutions, universities, government agencies, and entertainment districts fill the city.

The city never truly sleeps.

Millions of people from every race live and work here. Humans walk the same streets as elves, demons, Beastkin, Dragonkin, and Kitsune without attracting any special attention.

New Eridu is considered one of the safest and most prosperous cities in the world. Crime still exists, ranging from petty theft to organized crime syndicates, but the city remains stable, modern, and peaceful.

There are no Hollows, Ethereals, dimensional disasters, apocalyptic threats, or supernatural catastrophes. This is simply a modern Earth where magic and multiple races exist alongside ordinary civilization.
