# A thousand years before in the land of astral
The astral land has long dominated by the human race for thousands of years.
The hegemony power of the human race on seven continents raises jealousy and envy among the demon race who have lived in the sky.
The demon sends some of his messengers down from the sky to the mainland.
These envoys then formed small factions to carry out the decree given by the demon king above the sky.
One of their initial plans was to send several envoys Infiltrating inside the human race hegemony.
The infiltration made by the envoys will then continue by carrying out the politics of fighting, incitement, and bribery to disrupt several kingdoms and sect's loyalty towards the human.
When their initial plan succeeded, their next project was to form new factions to rebel and undermine the human race glory which had been standing firmly for thousands of years.
These devil messengers patiently carried out their plans in a hidden and structured manner for more than a hundred years.
Slowly but surely in stages, the faction of the demon race formation factions began to develop.
When the factions affiliated with the demons are firm and big, then that's when the era of darkness was born. The first holy war between the human race against the demon race began.
# Holy War
The astral land is currently in a deplorable condition.

# The Demon's kingdom above the sky
"Reporting to the majesty," said an octopus figure.
"We have repelled the reinforcements."
"Currently the Wirabhumi continent has fallen into our hands," the astral creature continued while kneeling.
"Good, how about Bhayangkara continent?" Asked the demon king who was currently sitting on his throne.
"Bhayangkara Continent will soon collapse your majesty," the astral creature replied.
"Oh? Why is it so difficult? "Asked the Demon king suspiciously.
"I beg your forgiveness, your majesty, Bhayangkara continent still survive because the southern coastal sect refuses to join the demon faction."
"Their southern coastal sect leader, Nyai Ratu Adil, prefers to join with humans."
"But even so, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry because their rebellion will end soon," Said the astral creature with the octopus head.
"Nyai Adil Ratu? Nyai Ratu Adil, hahahahaha .........." The demon king laughed.
"How about the five other continents condition?" Asked the Demon King curiously.
"All continents have successfully been crippled."
"Other than the Bhayangkara and Wirabhumi continents, the existence of the human race is almost extinct, but so ..." Said the octopus-headed creature.
"Huh?" The Demon King was curious.
"However, according to the recent information, there is one big wave of attacks that are coming towards our current kingdom."
"This wave of attacks is led by all the strongest creatures from the combined human races and other races who refuse to submit with our request."
"At the moment, their position is in ..." Said the octopus-headed creature suddenly stopped
"Say it! where is their current position!" Said the Demon King, who was currently curious.

"... currently, Their position already in front of our kingdom gate your majesty," Said the creature continued.
"What? Hahaha, then, let's welcome their arrival, hahaha. "
#The gate of the Demon Kingdom
The Demon Kingdom is standing firmly on the land that floats above the air.
The landscape of the land around the kingdom is quite barren and terrible.
There were no signs of life around this land.
Around the Demon's kingdom gates stood hundreds of thousands of humans and several other races armed with large and powerful weapons.
Hundreds of mythological creatures appear to be hovering around above the heads of human races that standing firmly with confidence.
The seven winged angels from the kingdom of Elf are also hovering above the sky.
These seven nymphs look beautiful and charming; other beings cannot match their stunning looks.
They are holding a silver shield in the left hand and sword in their right hand, waiting for the signal to attack.
Among the rows of human races, a pair of humans stood firmly.
The woman wearing a white robe looks beautiful and elegant. The women seem pregnant because her belly is quite large and round.
"Ratih, you are carrying my first child, how come you still want to go to war with me?" Said the handsome young man in a black robe and was currently holding a giant sword in his right hand.
"Reno, you are my husband, how can I hide when today might be the last day of our existence in the land of Astral" Said Ratih sadly.
The young man just smiled and then spoke again, "Sighhhhh ... Well, it's useless to argue with a stubborn like you, I know you won't fulfill my request not to get involved in this fight."
"But can you promise me one thing?" Said the youth with a giant sword in his right hand.
"Promise?" Asked Ratih.
"If the fight begins out of control, you should leave the battlefield."
"…………….at least save our baby."
The wife did not answer; her eyes filled with tears.
Ratih began to hold her husband's hand tightly. Ratih can only cry to hear her husband's words.
Shortly after that, the last battle between the human race against the demon race ensued.
The bloodshed could not be inevitable; the war against the demon lasted for months which resulted in the extinction of the human race from the astral land.

8 286Reborn as a DRAGON
My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?
