29-year-old Calum Vallejo, dubbed as the Holy Hound of Death for his precision in killing Fabukage-supernatural creatures that use dark magic to inflict harm-is sent by his tyrannical grandfather on a mission to retrieve the pelt of the Hadansmuto, the strongest Fabukage, in order to break the deadly curse he is born with.

Along the way, he meets 24-year-old Ciara Dela Vega, a cafe owner and server slash healer who uses her dark magic to heal people and starts questioning everything his grandfather taught him.

If that isn't enough, an impending war between Fabukage and the others is on the horizon and he finds himself in the middle of it.

Will he be able to stand on his own and decide for his future, or will he remain stuck in the shadow of his grandfather?

THE WORLD OF RATHE
Rathe is a crescent-shaped island located in the Northern Hemisphere, just off the coast of France. Due to its unique population, it masquerades as a third-world country known for its coconut, rice, and lumber exports, but in reality, it is filled with exotic herbs, animals, flora, fauna, and delicacies that cater to its population. Only those worthy can enter and see the true face of Rathe. Contrary to what Xenonus (or outsiders) say and believe, Rathe is more advanced than most countries and they are updated on what is happening outside their country. They are ruled by the Caelestis, which are composed of gods and goddesses. All decisions made by the Regno or the king and queens of each city will be finalized by the Caelestis to ensure that greediness will not take over the equal rights of each individual. I. REGIONS OF RATHE Rathe has 5 regions, namely: A. Iasa (The Pine and Mountain Region,The Snowsports Capital of Rathe) B. Liatarus (The White Sand Beaches Region, The Watersports Capital of Rathe) C. Cameria (The Training Camp and Armory Region, The Fortress of Rathe) D. Opeure (The Capital Region, The Industrialized Region of Rathe) E. Catartian (The Restricted Region. Authorized personnel are the only ones allowed to enter this region) II. THE PEOPLE OF RATHE Ratheans also have 3 Classifications and they are as follows: A.Chydaeus (mortals who have special abilities like super speed, energy reading, telekinesis, etc., and they take up 1% of the total population of Rathe.) Types of Chydaeus A.1. Chydaeus Nativus (Chydaeus who can control any of the elements-water, earth, fire, air, light, darkness) A.2. Chydaeus Navitas (Chydaeus who can manipulate energy-mind readers, energy healers, etc.) A.3. Chydaeus Consecraverant (Chydaeus with physical enhancements-super speed, elasticity, super strength, etc.,) B. Fabulares (are pureblooded supernatural beings that hold immense power and are bound with a lot of restrictions to ensure that they will not wreak havoc on the harmonious Rathe. Examples of Fabulares are fairies, vampires, elementals, etc.) Types of Fabulares B. 1. Fabuki (Fabulares which can be found in the air like hippogriffs, dragons, pegasi, etc. There are also some Fabuki who are invisible or transparent, and only those they see worthy can see them) B.2. Fabumi (Fabulares which can be found in the oceans or any water source like merfolk, sea serpents, etc. and they are shy creatures but helpful if you ask nicely, but if you offend them, they will not just sit back and forgive you that easily) B.3. Fabutochi (Fabulares which can be found on land like giants, elves, etc., and they are kind and willing to assist. That’s why they are easily taken advantage of) B. 4. Fabukage (Fabulares who are considered ‘evil’ and ‘dark’ as they tend to live in the shadows. They hold immense power and that is the reason why they are feared, but most of them are kind and compassionate) C. Ibrida (they are those who are half-Chydaeus, half-Fabulares and sometimes, their Fabulares features manifest in their bodies like scales, horns, tails, etc. and they usually take up 98% of the total Rathe population) III. TRANSPORT SYSTEMS All of the regions and cities of Rathe have two or three of these transportation systems: A. Tamagmine (also known as the bullet train. They connect cities within the region for easier access. Iasa, Opeure, and Cameria have Tamagmines) B. Unpaeda (also known as transport capsules. They are the top transport system of Rathe and they are capsule-shaped carriages made of glass that travel around railways with designated terminals) C. Lanutaru (also known as teleportals. Another common transport system, Lanutarus are doorways from one area to another but restrictions must apply to this. They also contain stripping magic that removes any spell placed on the person) Lanutaru Restrictions C.1. They can only connect areas within the building or in designated areas. This is to ensure the security of those using it and the place where it is being used. C.2. Lanutarus can only be installed by authorized personnel. C. 3. Lanutarus should be registered. Any illegal connections will be shut down and whoever installs them will be punished. D. Private Vehicles (not all Ratheans have the ability to transport themselves and public transport can be a headache, especially during rush hours. That’s why private vehicles can be used) E. Trucks, Airplanes, and Ships (this is for transporting goods and bulk items) F. Mizuvia (also known as Water Highways and is usually used by Fabumi to go from one place to another. Drying chambers and dressing rooms are found at the end so that transitioning to land will be easy) IV. ORGANIZATIONS Rathe has various organizations but listed below are the most important ones: A. Regno (the term used to refer to the kings and queens, the royal family of each city per region. They are in charge of governing the city they are in charge of and they also take orders directly from the Caelestis. The Regno is determined by succession or by winning a challenge issued by rival families) B. Magistratus (the police force, the army, of the country. Every city has its own Magistratus and they are trained in Cameria to ensure that they will embody the values of service and protection to Ratheans) C. Rathe United Forces (also known as RUF. They are the special action force of Rathe and are usually called for high-profile cases) D. Kage Opus (considered a rebel group, they are composed of Ratheans whose goal is to overthrow the balance of the country) ***** Thank you so much for your support and patience!
