The King of Nera (초대 왕) was a mysterious man and the first king of Nera, a nation and kingdom founded after he became the 1st recorded holder of The Torch, an ancient shard of immense power.
He was the original instigator behind the Era of Nera that ended the Era of the Lords and the War of Inheritance, a war started as his last act of revenge against the district lords as he was slowly dying from the side effect of the Torch. He was also the reason behind Islotta Rainfall's death during the war.
The King was partially introduced in the Nostra City Arc, where his life story, rise to power, and eventual death was told by Chain who explained the King's life to Hero Killer.
Appearance[]
The King had spikey and long blackish gray hair with brown skin.
Personality[]
The King's overall personality is unknown, but he was a ruthless man that held deep sense of resentment towards the district lords and was very envious of others to the point of wanting them dead.
History[]
Over a century ago, the world had adapted well to the new Era of the Lords after the Chaotic Era. Or so it seemed. A man whose life was filled with tragedy and despair appeared, would have his entire life change dramatically due to finding a mysterious shard after exploring a forgotten ruin.
He used its powers to lay waste to the lands and founded a dominion he named Nera, which meant Torch in the Unknown Language. He then began a campaign of conquest against the nearby districts as the new nation's king. The district lords tried to stop the king's campaign, but they were too late as he had grown too powerful by the time that the lords felt threatened by him. Only the Elders could stop him at that point, but they ignored the man and his ambitions.
However, there was an end to everything. The king's body could no longer endure the capabilities of The Torch and was showing signs of breaking down from within. The king, seeing that his life would end, summoned talented followers that he either abducted or led astray when they were still children and those that showed immense talent who had proven themselves as capable warriors. Amongst these followers were Engen and Chain, two young boys who were promising Gift users, Islotta Rainfall, a master swordswoman and many others.
The King making the proposition to his followers.
The king then made a proposition to his subjects - Whoever that conquers the greatest number of districts until I stop breathing...Shall inherit my throne and all I have. And the War of Inheritance had begun.[1] The war would be a series of campaigns against the numerous districts and their lords.
Towards the end of the war amongst the hundreds of his would-be successors, there was one that stood out as the best. The powerful master swordswoman Islotta Rainfall had conquered the largest number of districts but there was a quality that separated her from the rest of heirs to the inheritance as she showed mercy towards her opponents and was kind enough to accept those who had surrendered or lost to her.
The king, having seen her popularity, despised her immensely for it. Overrun with envy and desiring to burn down the entire world with flames, he sent his armies to hunt down Islotta on a night of a full moon. But she would die by her husband Chain's hands in an act of mercy.[2] The king lived on for quite some time before his body eventually give in to the side effects of The Torch and passed away. However, the king's legacy lived on through his successor, Engen who had won the war and was crowned the second king of Nera.
