A long time ago, the supercontinent of Loran was filled with peace and prosperity. Five countries made up such continent: The land of the Humans to the north called "Grand North", the land of the beast-people to the west called "Ihari", the land of the Elves to the east called "Efea", the land of the Vampires to the south called "Ugone", and a middle ground at the center called "Elis", a land that represented their alliance.
Humans, beast-people, vampires and elves lived in a peaceful society as they exchanged resources with each other. They all shared a link to magic, materialized as a small device almost all beings had on their arm. This was the interlink.
Such a device was composed of organic metal and could materialize weapons of all kinds, from knives and fire weapons to defensive shields. But each interlink could only generate weapons and tools from one of three classes: "Swords", "Guns'' and "Shields''.
Some people didn't have interlinks, yet their magic manipulation was beyond those with such devices, making them stand tall alongside them.
This connection to magic brought a belief that all beings were equal, leading to an era of peace. Yet, this so-called peace was soon cut short by one single vampire that rose to power on Ugone.
Vampires were kind people, but their bodies made them biologically immortal, pushing a sort of superiority complex that developed over thousands of generations. The older they aged, the stronger they became.
This naturally was a worry for every nation. Though, they didn't act on it until doomsday hit. The day where Vampires announced the continent would be better under their total control.
With their natural strength and the use of their magical interlinks, they ravaged the land, taking more control over the continent and putting their surrounding countries under their dictatorship.
The Elves, the Beast-people, and the Humans gathered together and chose their strongest warriors, creating the international defense system that's even used to this day.
Using this army, they managed to fend off the vampires but not defeat them. This fact made the leaders of each nation choose their greatest warrior to be part of a small elite group which were called "Heroes", each of them holding an element of the Interlink on their arm.
One warrior was the Sword Hero: with a sword creating interlink, another was the Gun Hero: with a fire weapon interlink, the third was the Fist Hero: with no interlink, and the fourth was the Shield Hero: with a shield generating interlink.
The four of them managed to fight against the vampire leaders of the dictatorship in a fierce battle that lasted one thousand moons and went down in history as the "Helix War".
After the victory of the heroes, the greatest scientists of Grand North and wizards of Efea managed to put a biological limit to the lifespan of vampires so that such a war could never happen again.
This made them live up to the normal lifespan range of other species, being around 500 years.
Ten thousand years have passed and things have changed.
The continent has never been the same since the war, as discrimination against non-interlink users, vampires and shield users have risen due to the social effects after such tragedy.
All of the heroes have either disappeared or passed away, leaving the continent defenseless and insecure.
And this is where our story begins. A story of tragedy, love, lies and heartbreak.
