Extra Details
Origin - Once upon a time, angels and demons were the same creatures. Some were more powerful than others, and they became separated by classes. This division grew until one day, the two top classes clashed. The losing side was branded "demons," a word created to insult them. The winners reshaped the classes, keeping everything the same but placing the "demons" beneath everyone else. The winners, called angels by humans, held the power. This has been the way for centuries.
In the angel hierarchy, the top tier is the royals, followed by nobles, then the working class, and finally, regular humans. Demons are below all of these. Royals have the strongest magic, nobles have less powerful magic, and the working class has very little. Humans, of course, have none. Demons have the same magic as angels but with more intensity in their goals. Over time, angels altered the demons' DNA, giving them black wings—either bat-like or rugged angel wings. They now appear as we imagine them today, with horns and tails.
For years, this order remained unchallenged. But now, the throne faces a new threat.

Magic System - In this world, magic is closely tied to the social hierarchy, and its distribution reflects one's rank. At the top are the angelic royals, who possess the most powerful and diverse forms of magic. They are the elite, ruling with unparalleled magical abilities. Below them are the nobles, who also have significant magic, though not as powerful as the royals. They hold important positions and influence, often managing affairs that require substantial magical skill. Commoners, or the working class, have very limited and basic forms of magic. Their abilities are practical and related to everyday tasks, lacking the potency seen in nobles and royals. Regular humans, at the bottom of the hierarchy, have no magical abilities at all. They make up the majority of the population and perform various non-magical roles in society. Angels and demons are not as common as humans. While they coexist in the same realm, they usually live apart from humans and are called upon to work as knights to protect them. Angels often receive these prestigious roles due to their high status and powerful magic. Demons, despite their potential to wield strong magic, rarely get these jobs due to their lower social standing. Instead, they often end up doing commoner jobs like herding, farming, and other forms of manual labor. If angels and demons fail to prove themselves in tournaments and other tests of skill, they are relegated to these commoner roles. Demons, in particular, have been pushed down to a status even below humans. Despite their potential to rival or surpass the magical abilities of angelic royals and nobles, demons often struggle against societal prejudice.

Possible Abilities - In this world of magic, certain abilities are reserved for the highest ranks, the royals and nobles among angels. Royals wield the most potent forms of wind magic, creating wind barriers, platforms, and summoning tornadoes. They also possess powerful fire magic, allowing them to transform into fire, breathe fire, and create devastating firestorms. Royals can heal with water, purify toxins, and control temperature with thermokinesis. In the realm of earth magic, they can harden their skin like stone, enhance their strength, and control animals. Spirit magic grants them the ability to manipulate auras, create energy shields, and practice advanced necromancy and soul binding.
Nobles, while not as powerful as royals, still command significant magical abilities. They can shoot air arrows, control air pressure, and manipulate gases with wind magic. Their fire magic includes infusing weapons with flames, wielding fireballs and flame whips, and triggering explosions. Nobles can generate water blasts, form water shields, and create water illusions. They are also adept at generating rock spikes, building earth walls, and causing earthquakes. In spirit magic, they can craft illusions, read minds with telepathy, and control others’ minds to a certain extent.
Despite these clear hierarchies, demons have the potential to rival or even surpass the magic of both royals and nobles. Their intense goals and resilience drive them to master powerful forms of magic, making them formidable adversaries who can challenge the established order.

Aurea Rosae - Aurea Rosae is one of the prestigious knightly groups in the realm. There are four such groups in total: Aurea Rosae, Blue Delphini, Leones Violacei, and Red Tonitrui. Aurea Rosae stands at the pinnacle, recognized as the top of the top and the best of the best. Historically, they have never accepted demons into their ranks. This elite group is composed mainly of royals, with a few nobles among them. The members of Aurea Rosae work closely with the king of the Maican Empire, undertaking the most critical and high-stakes missions. Their unmatched reputation and elite status set them apart from the other knightly groups, each of which also has its own ranking and responsibilities. Blue Delphini, Leones Violacei, and Red Tonitrui, while prestigious in their own right, are considered a tier below Aurea Rosae, handling various tasks and missions but not enjoying the same level of influence and recognition.
♱
Leaders Influence - The leader of Aurea Rosae is Chryses Amarillo. Accepted into the knightly group many years ago, Chryses has dedicated his life to the service of Aurea Rosae, witnessing the rise and fall of many members. He was once at the very pinnacle of his power, nearly rivaling the king himself. However, his noble origins prevented him from ascending higher in rank. Despite this, Chryses is regarded as a king among the knights, and his word is law. His authority is absolute, and his anger is greatly feared.
Chryses is an angel, but his lineage is unique. He descends from a line of demons who managed to blend into the angelic side just after the great demotion, avoiding the genetic changes that marked other demons. This secret has remained hidden, allowing him to maintain his angelic status. It is this hidden lineage that makes him more accepting of demons, recognizing their potential despite the prevailing prejudices of the society. His acceptance of demons into Aurea Rosae, a first for the elite group.

Prejudices - In this world, deep-seated prejudice exists between angels and demons. Angels are seen as noble, pure, and powerful, while demons are viewed as lesser beings, tainted and unworthy. This bias has its roots in ancient conflicts where the most powerful beings were divided into classes. The losing side was labeled as demons, a term meant to demean and degrade them. Over time, this separation has only deepened, with angels occupying higher social and magical standings, while demons are pushed to the fringes of society. The social hierarchy among angels is rigidly defined. At the top are the royals, possessing the most potent and diverse forms of magic. Their power and influence are unmatched, and they hold the highest positions in society. Nobles, though not as powerful as royals, still wield significant magical abilities and enjoy a high social standing. Below them are commoners, who have limited and basic forms of magic. These abilities are practical and often related to everyday tasks, lacking the potency seen in the upper classes. Regular humans, who have no magical abilities, occupy the lowest rung of this hierarchy. Magic plays a crucial role in determining one’s social standing. Royals with low magical abilities often face grim fates; they are sometimes killed because they cannot meet the high expectations placed upon them. Nobles who lack sufficient power are frequently abandoned by their families, left to fend for themselves or forced into lower social roles. The pressure to exhibit strong magic is immense, and those who fail to do so are harshly judged and marginalized. Demons, despite having the potential to rival the magic of royals and nobles, are systematically kept down. Their powers are intense, driven by their desire to prove their worth, but societal prejudice ensures they remain below even the commonest of angels. Unlike angels, demons rarely get prestigious roles and are often relegated to menial tasks like herding, farming, and other forms of manual labor. This marginalization is deeply ingrained, yet the potential for demons to rise and challenge the established order remains, fueled by their resilience and the remnants of their once-equal status with angels.

Power Dynamics - In this world, the power dynamics are sharply defined, and magic determines one's place in society. Royals hold absolute power and are often considered gods among their people. Their immense magical abilities grant them unparalleled influence, and this status frequently leads to inflated egos and a sense of entitlement. They rule with an iron fist, believing themselves to be superior in every way.
Below the royals are the nobles. While they possess significant magical abilities, they are still subservient to the royals. Nobles often admire and aspire to be like the royals, but they also look down on commoners, seeing them as inferior due to their lesser magic. The nobles hold considerable sway in societal affairs and maintain a clear sense of superiority over those below them.
Commoners, who have basic and limited magical abilities, look up to both the royals and nobles. They admire the power and status of the higher classes, and while they are often content with their lot in life, they are sometimes frustrated by their low magic. Despite their own struggles, commoners frequently look down on demons, seeing them as the lowest in the social hierarchy.
Demons, however, have a different perspective. They look down on everyone, believing that they possess the potential to be as powerful as the royals. Despite being marginalized and treated as lesser beings, demons are driven by a desire to prove their worth and rise above their imposed status. They view themselves as equal to or even superior to the royals if only given the chance to demonstrate their abilities.
Knights stand above all these groups. Being accepted into the ranks of the knights is a mark of great power and respect. Knights are considered extremely powerful and are highly respected by all. Commanders of the knightly groups, in particular, hold immense prestige and authority.
Aurea Rosae is a special knightly group due to its highly prestigious recruitment process. Composed mainly of royals and some nobles, this elite group is known for its rigorous selection and unmatched skill. Being accepted into Aurea Rosae is a mark of the highest honour and power, making its members revered and envied by all.

Threats - The kingdom faces numerous threats that constantly endanger its security. One of the foremost dangers comes from a rival kingdom that seeks its destruction. Internal strife also poses risks, as disgruntled nobles sometimes turn against the kingdom out of spite or ambition. These threats are varied and ever-present, requiring constant vigilance and swift action to maintain stability and safety.
Aurea Rosae, renowned for its courage and capability, shoulders the kingdom's most daunting challenges. Their duties range from tackling formidable adversaries to performing more mundane tasks such as delivering messages. They are equally adept at handling crises like wild boar attacks, extinguishing common fires, locating missing children, or even standing on the front lines to defend the kingdom alongside the king.
In times of crisis, the knights of Aurea Rosae are the kingdom's stalwart protectors, ready to confront any threat, big or small, that jeopardizes the realm's peace and security. Their versatility and unwavering dedication make them indispensable in the ongoing battle to safeguard the kingdom and its people.
♱
Court System - In the kingdom's court system, the hierarchy and status of individuals strongly influence their treatment and outcomes. Royals, positioned at the pinnacle of society, rarely face legal consequences due to their high status. Even if they are caught in wrongdoing, they typically receive lenient sentences, reflecting their privileged position and influence over the legal process.
Nobles, while subject to the same legal procedures as commoners, often benefit from their social standing. They have a slightly lower chance of being caught for their misdeeds and generally receive lighter sentences compared to commoners.
Commoners, on the other hand, face regular punishment for their offenses. They are more likely to be prosecuted and can receive harsh sentences, including lengthy imprisonment, depending on the severity of their crimes.
Humans have their own distinct court system, which varies depending on their location within the kingdom. Their legal proceedings are separate from those of angels and demons, tailored to their specific societal needs and circumstances.
Demons, unfortunately, are often scapegoated in the kingdom. They bear the brunt of blame for various societal problems, and their actions are frequently misrepresented or exaggerated. When royals or nobles seek to avoid accountability for their actions, they may unfairly accuse demons, knowing that demon voices are seldom heard or believed in the courts. This systemic bias further marginalizes demons, perpetuating their lower status and reinforcing societal prejudices against them.
