3252 AE. It's been 1,202 years since the downfall of humanity in 2050, since 'The Bane' as it was once called. Humans destroyed themselves, bringing along with the rest of the planet with them. Since then, living beings have been almost obliterated and returned. Most creatures have mutated, evolved to survive the new near wasteland planet, and humans are no exception.
The majority of humanity now lives within four main cities, protected by the N.H.A. (New Hope Alliance). Districts Kairos, Astraea, Daljihi and Ona, named after founders of the N.H.A.. Each district has a purpose, and without one, the remaining people would be put in danger.
When a child is born inside the districts, it's put through a series of tests once they turn seven. They are sorted into three groups. Those who pass, are deemed A, 'animus' and shipped away. The ones who fail, are sent back home as either N, 'normals,' or W 'workers.'
Outside the protected sanctuaries, are still groups of bandits, towns built by thieves and packs of unnamed parties. Not everyone agrees with the ways of the N.H.A., but the Alliance, won't stand for rebellions and will stop at nothing, to claim the children born as 'A's. Why? And what happens to the 'A's that are born away from humanity, hidden from the new world's government?
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.
