The year is 1873. The world, Historia, is at its peak.

To the North, explorers travel to new lands, and come back to the continent of Escia with findings of exotic animals and locations, unlike anything people have seen before.

To the South, technological advances revolutionize science in its entirety, with the discovery of steam as a nearly limitless source of energy and power.

To the East, philosophy and art have taken hold, ushering in a renaissance that has swept across civilized Escia.

However, not all of Escia is civilized. Well, not as civilized.

In the West, it is harsh and cruel. Numerous people are killed for greed, revenge, justice, any other reason someone may kill a person. The only thing that outweighs the sin is the sand.

There are many tales told in the West. Some so grand that they have become legend. Others so insignificant, they become forgotten.

This is one of those tales.

This is the tale of six people and their lives in the West. They are not heroes, and many hesitate to call them good people.

But in a land where you must kill or be killed, they may be as good as you can get.

First Light of a New Age by TIMEMASTER101
110 parts Ongoing
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.
