To what extent are you a person? To what extent are your personal values identified and freely crafted on your own? Give a beast a prey, and it would learn to be a predator. Give a person an inch, and they’ll take a mile. Just like animals yearn to sit at the top or feel safe, it's in humans’ nature to have dominion over everything they want. And just like how animals have fangs to rip through skin, humans have Concepts to shape the world to their whim. Our story takes place in a world like our own, a planet called Petra, a sphere trapped in the Sun’s orbit. Just like how the Sun influences our day and night cycle due to your world's Concepts and understandings, humans have developed the ability to physically morph and change reality. We do this by achieving great levels of understanding of these things we call Concepts. Yet only those who wield both vast influence and profound understanding can bend perception itself, altering the very way people see the world. Empowered with these Concepts, guilds, corporations, and nations alike are all clawing for mass influence our the world. With all the factions' budding heads, effective manpower has become a hot commodity. Paying for the temporary loyalty, Freelancers take on these extra tasks while darker work is handled by Journalists. Stay toned and bear witness to the birth of the next World Editor.
