New currency came about it dated back to one of the darkest periods in recorded history.
A time that witnessed the birth of hybrids were human experiments on other humans.
Then came the Apocalypse.
Due to the rate of people experimented especially the poor , those meant to die and do on using animals DNA it cause a infection that spread across the world at terrifying speed.
Cities fell overnight. Entire countries vanished from maps. People died by the millions while others evolved, mutated, or became something entirely new.
What followed was not peace when things finally settled down.
It was war.
First came eradication of anything not human then the wars against slavery as hybrids fought against human governments that treated them as weapons, experiments, and property.
Then came the Independence Wars.
Entire regions broke away. New powers rose. Old empires collapsed.
Blood covered the world for generations.
And even after hybrids gained freedom, conflict never truly ended.
Humans fought humans.
Hybrids fought humans.
Hybrids fought hybrids.
The irony was almost laughable.
Many demi-humans looked completely human except for unusual eye colors, hair colors, unique skin tones, or subtle biological differences as they can hide their animals part of they wanted.
They are called the rare species of hybrid who evolved to the point where they could completely hide their animal traits.
Yet discrimination remained.
The same people who hated being treated differently often turned around and treated other hybrid groups the exact same way.
Prejudice simply changed targets.
War after war continued until both sides finally reached a terrifying realization.
Like na this ain't working anymore If things continued this way, there would be no one left to win and another thing could rip the benefits.
Humanity's population had fallen to barely forty-five percent of the world's survivors.
Hybrid populations accounted for roughly fifty percent they could have wiped human if they didn't fight their self or less united like humans when it comes to stuff like this and if they went full on war humans would win though the price would be very very very very high.
The remaining percentage belonged plants and Norma animals .
The world stood on the edge of extinction.
That realization led to what historians now called the Great Peace.
Not because everyone suddenly became friends.
But because everyone was tired.
Tired of burying families.
Tired of endless revenge.
Tired of watching civilization collapse over and over again.
Tired of wasting resources yet not winning.
For the first time in centuries, leaders from every major faction sat at the same table and made a choice.
Either unite.
Or disappear together.
From that agreement came the Pact of peace celebrated every December for the war that lasted more than ten thousand years if not million.
Borders were redrawn.
Old nations were dissolved.
New ones were born.
The Six Nations emerged from the ashes:
Averis 18 country total
Orenthal 30 Country total
Kaelen Republic 4 country total
Norelle 15 Country total
Vandoria 33 Country total
And Elysia With 20 country total
Together they formed the foundation of the modern world.
A fragile peace built upon countless graves.
A peace everyone swore never to break again.
Where everyone mind their own business literally, and sex btw hybrid and human were normal and even encourage and the human and demi human were seen as one.
they were only called hybrid instead of demi human as hybrid is like how humans have male and female it is different hybrid men and female are called hybrid as some male can have children some female can impregnate,and everyone was still busy building civilization plant and animals that had been extinct before as technology had changed even hologram so realistic are celebrities and have their own virtual world created by humans and hybrid though it varies.
Averis is a wonderland known for its high tourism rates, abundant natural resources, culture, fashion, and wealth. It is a nation entirely driven by prestige, performance, and public relations. Everyday professions are turned into spectator sports.
Courtrooms have studio audiences, surgeries are livestreamed premium events, and business mergers are celebrated like movie premieres.
Whether it is modeling, acting, singing, fighting, racing, or countless other professions, everything can become entertainment.
There are industries dedicated to ranking the best makeup artists, writers, lawyers, and business figures, each with enormous followings.
Averis is also a leader in trade, imports, medical research, fashion , beauty products, plastic surgery, hologram world ,high standards in beauty,life, money, fame, and behavior should follow,technology, and innovation.
If someone desires fame, prestige, elite social circles, and a glamorous lifestyle, Averis is the place to be.
Even the poorest countries within the nation maintain impressive standards. There is a famous joke:
"If you want to expose a fake rich person, send them to Averis."
A fake rich person simply cannot afford to maintain the lifestyle there unless they are already wealthy themselves.
Orenthal is known for education, technology, culture, and advanced research. It is also a military and energy superpower.
The Kaelen Republic is known as the paradise of Hybrids and Demi-Humans. It is famous for its military strength, weapons development, advanced technology, and immense wealth, medical skills, energy.
Beggars are practically nonexistent. Even the poor are often millionaires by international standards.
The nation operates heavily around clan structures, though few outsiders truly understand how it functions. While officially considered a nation, it only consists of four countries, with the fourth serving as a central capital.
Norelle is a trade-focused nation with some of the largest ports in the world. It is highly innovative and leads many scientific and medical breakthroughs.
Vandoria is a financial powerhouse. It is wealthy, influential, and possesses a massive manufacturing industry. The nation proudly calls itself "Humanity's Base." Many view this as an attempt to recreate an idealized human society.
In some regions it succeeded, while in others it became more of a tourist attraction where Hybrids pay to visit and experience purely human communities.
Elysia is known as "The Paradise on Earth" and "The Oasis of the World." It possesses vast natural resources, advanced technology, industrial power, military strength, wealth, and capable rulers.
Unlike many nations, Elysia never attempted to erase its history or abandon its ancestral culture some human find out to talk about the past some demi human find it hard to understand them as they neither take any side of who was wrong in the war and they don't care if anyone hated them for it they had pride and ego as high as their strength can back it .
It remains one of the world's greatest tourist destinations.
Its only weakness is that it lacks the explosive entertainment culture found in Averis and has fewer Hybrids and Demi-Humans than most other nations and the leader there can care less their goal is to build a topia a paradise on earth who stay on it is their business.
Together, these six nations were formed from a total of 120 countries.
Their union created the Continental Union (CU), an international organization responsible for maintaining peace, trade, and cooperation among the world's major powers.
Seven major currencies were established:
• Zens (§) — Elysia
• Shards (☾C) — Vandoria
• Orin (A✦) — Orenthal
• KSB (Z₮) — Averis
• Drakmar Note (Đ) — Norelle
• RSD Dollar (₵) — Kaelen Republic
• CU Dollar (V$) — Continental Union
The CU Dollar is the highest-valued currency and serves as the elite global standard.
It is primarily used for:
• International trade
• Luxury purchases
• Status and prestige displays
• Corporate transactions
• Billionaire banking
• International tuition
• Black market exchanges
• Cross-border business and so on
While citizens may continue using their own national currencies, many prefer the CU Dollar because it simplifies international transactions.
It is especially common in capital cities and major economic centers.

Damien nearly choked on his tea.Did he hear that correctly?One hundred million Zens (§)?Wasn't that equivalent to five million CU Dollars (V$)?
The Davenmore family certainly didn't lack that amount of money, but giving such a huge amount to a eighteen-year-old high school student who use it to buy just gift a painting is worth five million CU dollar the tea cup are another five million just to win your grandma and Grandpa is shocking the Quinn family do play in another level.
Of course, purchasing antique paintings and historical artifacts was nothing unusual among the elite of Aurelion.
In fact, throughout all twenty countries of the Elysia Nation, wealthy families often collected items with historical value as symbols of status and culture.
Even so, Damien couldn't help feeling surprised.
"I'm happy Grandpa and Grandma like my gifts," Maria said sweetly with a gentle smile as she took her seat.
"It seems studying in the Capital has taught you how things work there," Summer said casually.
The girl looked adorable in her oversized pastel-pink sweater, white tennis skirt, knee-high socks, and matching sneakers. She appeared sweet and harmless.
Unfortunately, her mouth was anything but that.She carried herself with the confidence and entitlement of a spoiled young miss.
"But don't forget that Velmora City is the heart of Aurelion Country. even says to and we know it rivals the Capital itself."
Summer crossed her legs.
"Those gifts may seem impressive to ordinary people, but they don't compare to the gifts Grandpa and Grandma receive every year from influential guests that it looked like junk."
Her smile widened slightly.
"As family, shouldn't we be different from outsiders? Giving the same type of gifts as guests just makes you look like a visitor rather than a granddaughter."
"Don't mind your cousin, Maria. She means no harm."Faith smiled gently as if her daughter didn't call priceless gift worth ten million CU dollar V$ junk.
Her voice was warm, but everyone present understood exactly whose side she was taking .
"We're family after all. Relationships shouldn't be measured with gifts."
Maria lowered her eyes without responding.
"I see."
Evenly scoffed.
"Then what does that make your eldest daughter Winter?"
Everyone turned toward her.
"Didn't she spend ten million Zens on premium tea leaves and send them through Father-in-law's assistant to secure several projects?"
Evenly smiled.
"By your logic, isn't that even worse?"
Winter's expression darkened instantly.
"Auntie, that's different."
She straightened in her seat.
"That was business."
Her voice sharpened.
"I wasn't bribing my way into favoritism."
"Really?" Evenly asked with a smile.
"I thought you were simply being greedy."
She crossed her legs leisurely.
"Didn't your father only allow you to work in his personal company so you could learn how to run a business yourself?"
Winter's face stiffened.
"If you want to join your Grandpa's company, you're supposed to prove yourself first. Build your own company make sure it worth tens of billions of zen . Show your abilities."
Evenly rested her chin on her hand.
"Only after achieving results would you be considered for a position. Then you'd start from the branch companies, handle side projects, and slowly work your way up to the main projects and even allowed to take postion from the main company start from small build your way up even as you handle side branches."
Her smile widened.
"Those are the rules, aren't they?"
The hall fell silent.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're still an intern in the Quinn enterprise standard even if you are something in your father company."
Evenly tilted her head.
"So wouldn't that mean you're already stepping out of line?"As you said, business follows rules but because of family ties, those rules suddenly don't apply to you?"
Winter's face turned pale.
She opened her mouth to speak.
Damien quietly squeezed her hand under the table.
"Auntie, I don't think it has come to this."
Damien smiled politely.
"We're still family."
"And because we're family, we should follow the instructions left by our elders."Evenly looked at him."Damien, this is a Quinn family matter how the Davenmore family handles its affairs is different from how we handle ours."
Thomas gaze shifted"First Brother Diego to explain himself?"
On the second couch, Ava happily ate fruit from the plate in her mother's hand.
Emily leaned comfortably against Nathan while her husband fed her popcorn and casually sipped cola.
The servants had prepared everything long before the argument began according to Nathan instructions.
Meanwhile, Luis was leaning against Grandma Quinn's shoulder, smiling as he watched the drama unfold.
As for Grandpa Quinn?
He was completely focused on admiring the antique painting Maria had gifted him.
Grandma Quinn calmly poured herself another cup of tea.
Vera nodded"Indeed,Senior Brother Diego should explain himself."
"We all followed the rules when we were younger."She looked at her elder brother.
"So why shouldn't the younger generation do the same?"
Diego's expression darkened.
"I was the one who told Winter to take the project."
The room quieted.
"It was originally under my department."
"I gave it to her as training."
"Oh?"
Emily raised an eyebrow.
"So Brother-in-law is finally helping Winter build her own company?"
Her voice was gentle.
Almost curious.
Which made it even more dangerous.
"You're currently holding a major position in Father-in-law's company."
"You transferred one of your department's projects to your daughter."Emily smiled.
"Who happens to work in your personal company."
Her fingers tapped the armrest lightly.
"That sounds like a violation."
Winter's face became even paler.
"After all, she isn't technically part of Father-in-law's company yet If the project succeeds, she gains connections, experience, and influence."
"If it fails, your department takes the loss."
Emily shrugged.
"Either your ranking drops."
"Or your bonuses get cut."
"Or she uses the project to build her own company and gains enough influence that she no longer needs to enter Father-in-law's company."
The smile on her face never disappeared.
"She'd still keep her shares, of course."
"But she wouldn't have a say " Emily added
Diego glared at her .
Nathan looked up lazily.
"Fix your gaze."
The entire hall became quiet.
Nathan's voice remained calm.
Yet nobody dared ignore it.
"My wife gets frightened easily."
He glanced at his elder brother.
"So fix your gaze."
Emily immediately leaned against him.
"Hubby, I'm so scared."
She stuffed another piece of popcorn into her mouth.
Despite her words, she looked perfectly elegant and composed.
Which somehow made Diego even angrier.
Diego closed his eyes.
For a brief moment, he thought about his son, Frank.
Then he opened them again.
"We'll see what happens after the project is completed."
Emily nodded thoughtfully.
"That's good ,a young lady shouldn't always rely on family protection."
"They need to experience the outside world Otherwise they'll be too easily deceived by men."She smiled at Winter."Why don't your publicly announce that he won't use his connections to support you and let you work yourself I bet someone likes you can make a name without her parents help " Emily said sweetly. But she was putting Diego and winter in a dead line if winter refuses it would seem she lacks skills if Diego can't help her then he can't use his connections to put winter directly to ceo of his own company so she can start working in the Quinn enterprise as he has to if personal business this one was built to back winter.
"Hell no!"Damien stood up immediately.
Winter's face had already lost all color.
"Why are you all attacking my sister?!"
Summer shouted angrily.
Before anyone else could speak
Vickey laughed."Future cousin-in-law, Brother Damien."he rested her chin on his hand."You don't really have a say here."
"The fact that you're even sitting in this gathering is already us being polite."His smile was sweet his words were not.
"Or what?"he tilted his head.
"Are you rejecting this because you're planning to use my cousin's influence to benefit yourself?"
The hall became silent.
Vickey's smile widened."Or perhaps you're hoping to use your engagement with my cousin to secure the heir position in the Davenmore family?"
