Magic isn't real. Everybody knows that. 

Thing is, what everybody knows is wrong.

Magic isn't special, any idiot can do it. And that's why it needs to be kept secret. If for no other reason than to keep the world from destroying itself.

Again. 

Set in the modern day, and the real world, Catalyst delves into a hidden universe of thaumaturgic intrigue and tells the story of a magic fuelled cold war that has been raging for over 2000 years. 

There is no good in this world, and no evil. Only different opinions.

Aetheria : The Lost Legacy by Monocarpic
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Aetheria, a land once vibrant with magic, now lies in the grip of a darkness that refuses to fade. The war that ravaged its lands left scars too deep to heal and secrets too dangerous to reveal. The magical society, once the guardians of hope, withdrew into the shadows, sealing their world away from the mundane, leaving the ruins to fester in silence. But silence breeds fear, and fear breeds nightmares. In the ordinary world, four unsuspecting individuals are about to be dragged into a reality they can barely comprehend. They carry the blood of Aetheria, a cursed inheritance that binds them to a fate they cannot escape. As the barriers between their world and Aetheria weaken, they are thrust into a dark and twisted reality where nothing is as it seems. Mishaps plague their every step; hardship becomes their constant companion. They struggle to accept the horrors unfolding around them, questioning their sanity as the lines between reality and nightmare blur. Powerful enemies, born of ancient magic and unrelenting hatred, emerge from the shadows, determined to destroy them before they can understand their true purpose. The gateway to Aetheria is opening, and with it comes a storm of chaos and fear. The four must confront the darkness within and without, facing battles they are ill-prepared for, in a world where trust is a luxury and survival is never guaranteed. But in the end, how do you fight an enemy when you never knew reality-the new reality you've been thrust into?

Magic doesn't exist in the real world nor does it exist anyplace else, all except for one's mind. The mind is complex, yet it is capable of a lot of things; even the deception that magic exists in such a world. Say that magic did exist, in all of its glory, but would there be only one place where it exists? Or would it be found all over the place? Unless if magic is only found when someone imagines it to be. After all, it can just be a figment of their imagination. But maybe magic does exist, in the places that you'd least expect it.
