So this is how we live. We are separated from our mothers at birth, and we are raised by strangers who change every day. We are educated in ever changing groups, and our free time is spent finding intellectual stimulation. We spend our adult lives solving the issues that once plagued our earth so that the new world will be rid of them. Children are conceived via test tubes and DNA samples, and are born to continue the cycle. We do not spend enough time with another person that we can form a bond as strong as love.
I am sure that, should we wish, the people in our society could love each other. But we don’t wish it. The only people we want to love are the future people; the people we are working to make happy. We know our sacrifice is worth it, because it means that the people we love will live the lives that we wish to live. We will die happy, secure in the knowledge that we have loved throughout our lives, only that the people we have loved don’t yet exist.

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.
