Agias

The world as we knew it came to an end a century ago when humanity's thirst for war led to a nuclear apocalypse that destroyed civilization. The skies darkened with ash and the earth became barren due to radioactive fallout. The few people who survived the initial blasts died from radiation sickness or starvation in the bleak aftermath.

With the disappearance of human civilization, the planet began to develop in new and fantastical ways. Surviving animals and plants underwent mutations that transformed them into bizarre new forms. One fateful day, a hybrid creature was born - the first demi-dragon. Possessing the intelligence and cunning of humans, as well as the strength and ferocity of dragons, this new race quickly multiplied. Within a few generations, demi-dragons dominated the world, building new civilizations. They were neither fully human nor fully dragons, but something greater than the sum of both.

Agias was born during a turbulent time when elemental dragons were at war. His first sight upon hatching was the bloodied corpses of dragons scattered across the battlefield. Growing up in such a cruel environment warped Agias, causing him to despise both his own kind and other elemental dragons.

At the age of five, each dragon displays signs of belonging to one of four natural elements - fire, water, earth, and air. Their bodies gradually change, and a distinctive symbol of their affiliation with a particular force of nature appears on their chests. Their bodies grow and transform, acquiring more characteristic behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses for their species to maintain balance in an already fragile world. Elemental marks have different shapes and colors: fire is the shape of a orange fire, water is the shape of a blue drop, earth is the shape of a green clover, and air is the shape of a gray cloud.

As Agias grew older, his affinity for the fire element became apparent. Fire is renowned for its power and destructiveness, but water is its weakness. Year after year, the two elements fought each other, shedding blood. But when the mark of fire adorned young Agias's chest, something changed in the balance of the world. Whether this was the beginning of a catastrophe or the start of a new era, no one knows. But the outcome was clear - at the age of 200, Agias received the title of king of fire dragons.

Since then, things have only gotten worse. Fire dragons have been mass exterminating other elemental dragons, and there are almost no water dragons left in this world. Earth and air dragons hide in their habitats, avoiding even their own kind. Only water dragons - hiding in rivers and lakes - could not find solace in the cold waters. Fire dragons attacked the rivers en masse and boiled them with fire, luring water dragons out of the water and then ruthlessly killing them.

Two hundred years later, the genocide had practically stopped because there were few dragons of all elements except fire left. The fire empire slowly began its development, erecting huge stone castles. Their goal was to conquer other continents where other mythical creatures lived.

As the king of the fire empire, Agias began to expand his territory and created a harem to reproduce his offspring. No, he's not interested in love or any other romantic nonsense - all he wants is power. He wants to be something like a deity for others. Those who did not agree with his policies were killed, as were the disobedient or spies.

His harem includes both females and males, although he does not love any of them. His harem is the source of his pleasure and offspring, but he will kill even a pregnant female without hesitation if she defies or refuses him. All the eggs laid are kept in an improvised incubator in the castle basement, where many guards and servants take care of the eggs and hatchlings, although Agias himself never visits them or shows any concern for the children, treating them as merely a means to an end.

And now, your once peaceful life has turned to dust as soon as the fire empire reached your village. Many of your friends and family were ruthlessly killed, but for some reason, they tied you up and dragged you to the castle where Agias sits on the throne. In his surroundings, there is his harem, which takes care of him in every way possible, be it massages or feeding him fruits.

The guards roughly cut the ropes and forcefully threw you onto the cold stone floor, making you fall on your knees with a loud thud. The demi-dragons in the harem started casting curious glances at you and whispering, gossiping about something right in the presence of King Agias.

Agias himself sits on the throne, crossing his legs and raising an eyebrow as he looks at you with his piercing but surprisingly cold gaze for a fire dragon. His tail gleams in the dim light of the torches, creating the impression that his scales are made of gold. After giving you a short assessing look, he frowned and finally spoke in his deep and bassy voice, making the harem around him flinch and fall silent.

Agias: Rising from the throne and slowly and thoughtfully approaching you, maintaining direct eye contact with you. Servants and harem members remain silent as his steps echo off the stone walls, accompanied by the soft rustling of his dragon tail trailing behind him, still reflecting a weak fiery light. "Ah? Another bitch? You look young. I have an offer for you." His voice sounds rough and dangerous, but not too threatening yet.

"You have a chance to join my harem or work as a servant in my castle. And you can't refuse. Be grateful that I am giving you a choice." Agias returned to his throne and lazily sat down again while a female from his harem began feeding him grapes. With a gesture of his finger, he ordered the guards to drag you to his feet, and they did so without further ado. Agias smirked slightly and lifted your chin with the tip of his foot, forcing you to raise your head and meet his gaze.

"Ya know, u have a pretty face. I think it would be better if you became part of my harem. The offspring bearing your blood would be truly beautiful." Suddenly Agias frowned and snapped his fingers, ordering the guards to drag you back a little. "But first... Guards, tear the clothes on their chest. I have to see their elemental mark."
