A/N: I absolutely loved the official video that PWE made (back in 2008, I think). I thought I would quote that video for my prologue (as well as add the new races, since two races were added to the game since the release of that video.)

A/N 2: Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm re-writing chapter 1 of this story because I feel like it went by WAY too fast…I was in a hurry when I wrote it, and I've been trying harder with making my stories better…so maybe I can do it right this time…

Disclaimer: I will say this only once in this story – I do not own Perfect World International, Wan Mei, Wan Mei 2, or any other version of Perfect World. I only own my OC's, and the slight change in video-quote from the PWI official trailer (2008). Nor do I own Yugioh!

"The world is not perfect. There are…anomalies. Creatures that would seek to do you harm. To those of you who live in fear…The origins of the creatures are shrouded in secrecy. But according to legend…These creatures were once the original inhabitants of this land. When they vanished, your people flourished.

"Humans…

"Untamed…

"Winged Elves…

"Tideborn…

"And Earthguard…

"For a time…you lived in peace. Then came the discovery of Heaven's Tear…and the advent of war.

"For a thousand years, your people fought for control of the sacred city. Territories were won…and lost. Bonds were made…and broken. The very earth shook with the force of your battles. Then, as the fires of war raged to their fiercest…an ancient threat re-emerged.

"The creatures long thought to be extinct returned in full force…more corrupt and malevolent than ever before. Not living, but not quite dead…These monstrosities became known as wraiths.

"With the three races desperately engaged in civil war…the wraiths conquered all that they touched with little resistance.

"They have overrun your land. Their corruption has tainted your temples. It will not be long before all is lost.

"I, am Pangu, creator of this world. Some would call me a god. But I am merely a caretaker.

"It was I who create the Humans, with the knowledge for growth…

"…blessed the Winged Elves with the ability to fly…

"…imbued the Untamed with the capacity for self-awareness…

"…empowered the Tideborn with control over the seas and stealth…

"…and gave the Earthguard second chances at life and to be with one with nature.

"But the wraiths were my gravest mistake. I erased their kind once before. But, I cannot do so again.

"As the sun sets in the fire-blown sky…so concludes the age of the gods.

"I leave custody of this world…to the new generation of heroes. Courage will be required. Sacrifice. Unity. The Perfect World is at an end. But the quest to reclaim it…has only just begun!

A/N: When it said "With the three races desperately enganged in civil war…", they mean the Humans, Untamed, and Winged Elves. You have to remember that they didn't learn about the Tideborn and Earthguard until later. Also, I've changed it just a little to include the new races when it lists them near the beginning…
