Paris, 2078

After America fell into a national debt crisis in 2022, the modern world fell with it... Our world alone now suffers from a range of cataclysms; overpopulation, starvation, terrorism, Climate Change and disease, but France as one of the few surviving nations is now considered the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world. Paris, now gridlocked is a city confined to small spaces, reaching for the sky in a never ending maze of skyscrapers and monuments; while the nation's poor works outside the walls of the city on bio-farms, nuclear power stations and border units. 

Meanwhile the lucky work in government sectors, high quality industries and transportation throughout the few socially quarantined cities left dotting the French wastelands. Yet the E.S.A (European Space Agency) discovers an eleven kilometer diameter asteroid in Pluto's orbit which has turned and begun it's journey towards Earth; with only ten years preparation, the French government issues contraceptive pills disguised as hunger tablets of which both males and females can take; code-named The French Infirmity.

Hoping this will ease the world's suffering and give time for the world to prepare, the government continues each day as if nothing is to happen; whilst a young journalist born in America to French parents is one of the first to find out the true purpose of the pill and sets out to seek the truth, unknowing of the cataclysm that the world will have to face in a mere decade...

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.
