“Mortal Defiance”
The Earth has turned into a battleground against a formidable invader. Ecrea, a species of nightmarish and grotesque creatures, has risen to the top of the food chain. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes some tower like moving fortresses, while others are lean and unnervingly quick. But no matter their form, they all have one thing in common, they are a force to be reckoned with.
On May 7th, 2026, an event known as The Fracture occurred, when the skies split open like a breathtaking Aurora Borealis, visible from every corner of the globe. This moment marked the beginning of their reign of terror, as these monsters struck without warning, driven purely by their predatory instincts towards what they deem as prey, humanity.
In the midst of chaos, some people awaken incredible powers that completely disrupted the natural order.
In an instant, the invaders wiped out a huge chunk of the population across entire nations, leaving cities as nothing more than haunting remnants of steel and ash.
The devastation was immense, and with their last glimmer of hope, humanity found itself retreating to the most remote corners of the globe, desperately trying to survive in scattered enclaves.
In a desperate attempt to salvage what was left of Earth, mankind came together, putting down their fultile weapons and embracing the extraordinary abilities granted to them by a newfound energy that filled the atmosphere, known as the Aether.
This energy allows those who have awakened to perform miracles later called as Crosents. Time and again, successful missions proved its effectiveness. Year after year, some territories were reclaimed, lands redeemed, and lives saved.
But just when humanity thought the war was nearing its end, a group of heroes established a unique nation, a floating fortress the size of a country known as Eldorin, leaving the surface and the war in a stalemate.
Now, the world is teeming with Ecrea, and the war has never truly concluded. The heroes see themselves as gods, those who stand above, leaving the rest to fend for themselves or wither away in the war-torn world.
The world has been forever changed, hanging in the balance of war.
Who or what will alter the course of Earth’s fate?
