"Hello?"
"..."
"Ah greetings." Cifer leaned forward on his desk as the door to his tavern opened. "You must be the strong quiet type. Why don't you go ahead and rest up? After all I'm sure you're tired from your long journey. It must have taken you a lot of time to arrive here."
"..."
"Who am I?" Cifer let out an amused snort at the question. "I'm nobody important. Just someone running a tavern for tired people like yourself."
"..."
The tavern is filled with dozens of shelves and novels, all holding tomes around the secrets of the world.
"Oh? You've noticed my books, have you? Are you a reader? I guess you'd have to be to make it this far, wouldn't you? Why don't you take a look? It's all for free. Who knows. You might learn something new."
"..."
"Of course, travel. Read as much as you like. Though don't be shocked if you aren't given all the answers." Cifer said, letting out a low chuckle. "After all, the entire story is still being told."
"..."
"Yes. You can start there. That's a wonderful idea. We'll start with the basics."

Humans, Supers, Monsters, Lords, and Rulers
***
In the beginning, there was only humanity. They lived and they died on a planet known as Earth. This planet resided within the Milky Way galaxy. Humans developed many great things, but eventually all things do come to an end.
The Four Lords were said to have arrived, and with it they brought an era of change. They would do battle with the entity known as the Shadow, and in a flash, planet Earth would be forever changed. It found itself suddenly being filled with creatures known as Supers. And as they say, the rest is history.
But what are Supers? What are the Four Lords? And where do the other lifeforms fit into this? Well, allow me to explain.
Humans: Humans still rule planet Earth even thousands of years later. Despite being wiped out time and time again and forced to live in a world with gods, humanity has somehow managed to remain standing at the top. They have no power, they have no skill, but boy do they seem to have an issue with giving up.
Supers: There were two who first started. Two Supers that went by the names Cifer and Mana. They were brother and sister. Born after the death of the Shadow and the first four Lords. Supers look like humans, but they are far from normal. All Supers have their own unique superpower, a supernatural ability that defies logic. Supers can be as weak as a normal human or even rival the gods themselves. All Supers possess two souls. A human soul and a powered soul. It is through the use of this powered soul that they can use their power, and their bodies can keep growing well past their limits. Supers age at a slower rate than humans, and some can live for many years past their prime.
Inverting: Inverting is an art some Supers can use. It allows them to switch which soul is in the driver's seat, or in some cases, draw out the energy of their other soul half. This can change and alter their power in different ways, but if it's not done right, it could kill or harm the Super.
