Dhuja Jyaryabha was of the Lamia-kin, a subspecies of beast-kin that lived on Terra.

However, her race was rather uncommon within these areas of the nation, as they preferred warm places due to their coldblooded physiologies. Nonetheless, when they grew strong enough through cultivating their Mana Cores, Lamias were more than capable of leaving their place.

Dhuja was born in a little tribe settling within the outside of the region of Austurbas, within the Dead Sea Desert, several kilometers away from the Westwind Capital.

She had a harsh life there, more than harsh, she survived every day as much as she could and however she could.

There was aridness and poverty everywhere there, even food and water were a privilege of the rich.

However, through a series of fortuitous encounters, Dhuja found herself by mistake inside an old temple… this was an inheritance dungeon.

Inheritance Dungeons are old temples hidden everywhere around Terra, they are places where the amazing Magus of older ages where there were larger struggles for power existed.

Within the old ages where Magus of Rank 6 and above were seen everywhere unlike now, and where the war for power was something of every day.

In such times Magus fought for supremacy more than ever, and many experts and geniuses were born in such turbulent times.

However, time is ruthless to anyone, and all of such experts died down, thrown away by the sands of time…

As the resources of Terra started to dim and as the Gods finally woke up and decided to gather whatever was left of their tribes beneath regions protected by them, the years of fervent battles for supremacy ended, and a new era of "peace" emerged, although it was above the many bloodsheds that such ancient eras provoked.

Many experts, geniuses, amazing Magus who had managed to completely turn upside down the concept of magic and mana cores were all gone… But their legacies live on.

Inheritance Dungeons were their legacies, places hidden everywhere, but incredibly rare to find.

It was said that if someone were to step into an inheritance, great fortune would await them, and their lives could undergo a complete shift.

Dhuja was one of them, while she was young and weak, she wandered through the outskirts of her town, trying to find a little bug to eat or something to appease her hunger, the little and adorable girl was on her last days, she knew that she wouldn't be able to live any longer if she didn't eat something… she had begun to consider eating sand to fill her stomach.

Until she fell through quicksand and was thrown into a mysterious place.

There, she found a large stone table with strange texts she couldn't read, but a voice resonated through her ears, as a beautiful and mischievous Lamia woman who lived thousands of years ago greeted her… but it was a mere illusion made by magic.

The woman introduced herself as the Poison Empress, and she was known as a merciless woman who used her magic to control the masses through intimidation and sheer strength.

She had even achieved Rank 6 and was close to becoming Rank 7… but her lifespan, no matter how hard she tried to extend it, came to an end.

In her last moments, she created this Inheritance and put her entire legacy on here.

The requisites for someone to get it was a young Lamia girl with a Poison Attribute Mana Core.

Dhuja was the ideal one and was gifted these powerful potions of cultivation, these amazing spell scrolls, and large quantities of accessories, riches, and more. In that time, she took the legacy of the Poison Empress.

Through the use of such gifts and many hardships, Dhuja managed to reach higher Ranks of Cultivation, however, after having revenge against everyone who mistreated her in that town, she left it and decided to move on.

As time went by, she slowly built up her own organization, and settled down in Westwind's Capital, becoming a tyrant criminal organization leader who used many underhanded methods to slowly gain more resources and increase her cultivation.

After years, she was close to reaching Rank 5.

She was feared by most Adventurers and anyone strong enough. Perhaps in the past, a Rank 4 Magus was not that much, but now, where experts no longer existed and the large sects of the ancient times were no more, people had grown weak and pathetic behind the protection of the awakened Gods, and Dhuja used everything she learned from the original Poison Empress to suppress the people and extract everything from them.

The only one who stood before her path was Akron, the leader of the Lone Wolves, a Rank 5 Magus who was powerful enough to beat her.

The two decided to become allies, whatsoever, and the two helped each other and sold items to each other. Dhuja was better off allying a strong person than becoming their enemy just because.

Akron was a fair man, and let Dhuja take over a part of the town for herself, as he recognized her fervent spirit to become strong while he looked for clues to how to revive his beloved deceased wife.

As the years went by, Dhuja came closer and closer to reach Rank 5, until a mysterious, red-skinned demoness emerged, who began to do many transactions with her… she became good friends with a young master of the famous Eastgrande Family, and Dhuja quickly got to know from her very mouth about the entity that she carried with her… the being within the crystal ball, the soul of that entity…

Such entity was similar to the ancient Poison Empress, an expert of ancient times who had achieved an amazing level of power but due to the curse of lifespan, died bitterly.

But now, he was plotting his rebirth through the use of the rumored artifacts made by the Creation Gods.

After the red-skinned demoness found him within his inheritance, the two had become inseparable, and she had been fervently serving him as they seek the clues to revive this monstrous soul.

Dhuja was wary of this monstrous soul, and the old entity that it was, and decided to simply cooperate and see how things went… she was not strong enough to fight against the red-skinned demoness, who also seemed to be negotiating with Akron with the help of Gustav, the man she had encroached with the powers of the crystal ball.

If Akron was cooperating with them, she was better not getting her nose where it didn't belong… If she were to do a step wrong, she could get killed before even reaching the glory of Rank 5…

And as these schemes unfolded and many mysteries were revealed to her as the red-skinned demoness saw her as a valuable ally and provider of cultivation resources needed for the rebirth of her master, she discovered more and more about this whole plot…

However, in the middle of nowhere, the Demon King began to awake, and so did the Abyssal Horrors and the Horror Spawns, alongside many monstrous beings and the rivers of miasma… the apocalypse that came every 100.000 years was soon to come once more… but strangely enough, the red-skinned demoness and the entity within the crystal ball seemed to have been waiting for this moment…

Before that, even more unexpectedly a Rank 5 Magus and various Rank 4 Magus at his side emerged within Westwind, she tried to seek who they were, and learned a lot of false information which she believed…

Now, she was unaware that such a group was now lurking behind her… they had come for her and the precious information she had, and everything else, if possible.
