Prologue

               Earth is an abundant planet and none so distant seemed reminiscent. The bountiful bodies of water, unrivaled supplement of oxygen, and a diversity life. There were none like this found elsewhere and that knowledge will be as ancient as it is recent to a commoner. The scribes of that knowledge were its human inhabitants, and they're folklore will contend otherwise. Throughout human history was a constant retelling of epics that described worlds far beyond or below what man dwells in. These otherworlders were drawn to one another and battled using a variety of the arcane arts and their names were archived in man's heart. He'll forge fire and wield it with much mutuality akin to his overworldly counterparts. This flame, destructive and luminescent, will breathe life and fuel it as the arts have. This flame will be symbolic of channeling a wild and primordial power: action.

So for millennia humans of earth spoke and lived the archaic among the others. The fire that drove all eldritch forces ablaze with utility was not any specific inferno, but a metaphor for the innovation of harness invention itself. This power manifest in everyone differently for those either willing to look or born into. They called this language "magic" among old and forthcoming, being a predominant tool of weaving our universe. It was synonymous with discovery as it was with science, and their distinction were only deciphered by its crafter: its explanation. Earth will usher in many ages and empires, and the language of the archaic only saw a blossoming of further avenues than mystery.. along with discovery.

At a time when humans could traverse between realms using these arcane powers is when an explosion of individualistic combat thrived. When celtic, nordic, and even later period taverns were erected to merely centralize the gathering of the eldritch and focalize realms for tourism. These men and women from origins as deep into dimensional caverns into the weird or humans from the other gathered in these resorts, but their intentions were always mixed. They will be there to mingle or compete and practice the skills and arts of the ancients. Their elite will designate each realm's coordinated system into a section or "zone" in parlay with the language of the arcane and every zone had a corresponding color of differentiation. This golden age saw an explosion of "magical" use among its denizens and nations of earth will militarize this no better than their primeval fathers; however, nothing is eternal and all flames eventually wither. The fate of said arcane were unknown as members of these societies dwindled from either death or expulsion. Kings will pay or execute to obtain these arts, but in its place grew a much more difficult mastery of our universal energy: science.

This renaissance industrialized human's conception of our external workings not that was difficult, and like before was nurtured alongside of or explained the mystery of the language. It was soon that superstition was just as and although mystical wisdom carried on it would never be as integral. When the states were merely colonies and expansion into new exotic parts of our world became common, the language of the ancients, the arcane and paranormal, was anything but common. Elites will horde these libraries for their own purposes whether to manufacture or destroy, but efficiency in these arts crumbled.

What became of the other realms man once traversed? A mere mention only by those of well established echelons and even among oligarchs are nothing but fable, well until recently. Metaphysical phenomenon never really left man as fire never truly faded, but such practitioners buried themselves in obscurity to solidify their inhuman qualities; however, on amount of myths and silent admission could censor this day in age as more and more people populate and the mystical arts resurface.





Present Day

               Present day earth. The year is 20xx and both east and western sides of the globe suffer its greatest political tension. An entire world enveloped by cultural "truths" with social media influencing masses and government bodies trickle trivial prejudices of the system to obscure a much deeper truth. What is known of the earth is that resources are finite, and hyper-monolithic bodies of government compete in monetary war as proxy smaller countries sacrifice themselves in their enthralled violent combat. The west strain to shrug off marxism that only recently ravaged the east, but guises itself as political correctness instead of financial principles of property ownership. The system from either sides of the world reap the benefit of countrymen and women throwing their freedoms away in favor of the state.

Military industry has not skipped a beat in squandering its share of profits, and it chooses to be an export in a large land-grab of western imperialism. The east, lacking an adequate bluff of force projection, uses fiscal warfare to undermine its western counterparts and all parties involved that create this system are all in bed with one another. Who pays these expenses? The middle class and in either side begins to eat itself as psyop campaigns from the state tear their ideology apart to meat in the middle -- statism. Countries too small to compete are fractured, beaten, and distraught with desperation to be relevant in the big game all global entities participate. They find themselves as whore to violence either for their cartal lords or mercenary operations.

Now for these organizations in the middle? They are the other in this equation. These organizations facilitate research into eldritch power or harbor its users as a bluff or contract power. Only until recent has such organizations not only surfaced into the mainstream but are becoming influential, possibly by aligning with the current power structure's goals or agendas. In a time of perpetual war for profit, these organizations thrive and pulsate. They come in a variety of sizes and names, and they retain their specialty that older clans, guilds, and so on offered during a time in which the magics were prevalent. During the climax of this era an organization, acting as a bureau of intelligence and contract work, was too ambitious with its chairmen far in-depth with those that have. He would use his central force of paranormal members and bluff, but only to be undone by his past. This organization was known as Next, a near global leading mercenary company. There were many likes Next with various other purposes, but this company had enough presence to make the system remove him as an irritant and his nephew will be their avatar. The system continues, but Next's dissolution will create a far more smaller and efficient entity in the criminal world.

Lionfield

The other leading corporation is Lionfield Institution, and it's a subsidiary of a much larger entity. It has recently discovered that there's a possibility old lore were not wrong, and that there might be other worlds parallel to our own. Lionfield is allegedly stationed in London and has an much darker history stemming from a time where the arcane was mainstream. They specialize not only in the metaphysical and is a supplier of weaponized magics, but somehow is a retainer of many of our globe's more powerful peoples in the financial sector. Now it appears they may have more information about the supernatural than presently supplying, and their sinister but bizarre activity may hide something eldritch. They not only compete with other organizations with similar interest, but with any country not currently align with "the system".

As for magic? Magic didn't cease to be as a function. The disappearance of magic happened as science grew and understanding our natural law explained away phenomenon as it occurred. Anything related to the supernatural can or has been categorized since the age of prevelence, and continues to expand and be mastered or supported. These powers are not all given to those that were burn into, but could be obtained in any number of ways. These subsets of abilities come in any form, and is no longer considered magic as an explanation or "system" is designed for it. Magic to summon lightning? How? Why? These questions have chipped at the essence of an ancient fire and given life anew. This life of paranormal are merely abilities whether super power or otherwise, but "magic" as a term does exist. What was known as a lightning elemental can now only be answered thoroughly. Mutant? Human? Electrokenesis? Other? These anomalies once understood then is only being reunderstood now, and many of which are furthered by technology in ways the arcane couldn't have done or vice versa.

The United States, Russia, and China all play a huge game. The elites set back to maintain a near self governing system, but are desperate that it has began to evolve itself. Their relevance now swindled and begins to falter as each of the huge countries rush to final frontier of all land grabs. New organizations, companies, and even groups that sponsor, endorse, or even harbor those who can utilize supernatural power are becoming a new wave and such a system is adjusting to profit from it.. and at the expense of its masters as well. A world war is imminent as a universal surety.

It begins
