"All I can hear is the roaring tides of the celestial sea, our ship, the Pequod sails through the cosmic expanse of deep space in search of resources for our dying world.

I am the First Mate of the Pequod, Alison Starbuck, me, and four other Mariners are tasked with this important mission, we are the last hope humanity has for rebuilding our earth.

Our mission seemed like a success, we gathered a bunch of resources from a planet similar to our own, with these foods, minerals, and other necessities, rebuilding is gonna be a piece of cake.

But something feels wrong, I feel like we're going the wrong way, these celestial bodies don't look anything like the celestial bodies we charted through on our way here.

Captain Hunter says it's just because the bodies are moving at an accelerated rate, but I'm not sure of her assessment is correct, we've only been sailing for a year, those planets and stars couldn't have gotten that far, Second Mate Samsa says there might have been a black hole that ate up those celestial bodies but that should have taken 500 years at the very least, it just doesn't make sense.

Co Captain Trish says she's been hearing the Captain babble a lot in her Cabin about wanting to find something but I'm not sure what she's looking for, all resources and valuables are accounted for.

Cabin Watch Vivian also reports sounds coming from the vents, we assume it's a busted pipe but Third Mate is sure everything is up to code.

I'm... uneasy about the success of this mission, but nevertheless, I am determined, after all, we're the last hope of humanity, we can't falter now..."

This was the second to last excerpt in a digital diary our recovery crew found at the ravage site of the star cruiser Pequod after it crashed onto Nantucket.

Whereabouts of the captain and crew as well as their cargo; Unknown...

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.
