Prologue...
The world is not what it once was. Tranced formed by mere mortals who thought they could be God and unleashed a power that changed the universe and the human D.N.A. The forces that run the world have always been greedy, but no one could have imagined the length they would have gone to control not only the multitudes but the core of reality.
The story goes that long ago, there was a place called E.L.M. This corporation had people with tremendous wisdom that worked in this facility and made significant scientific advancements. These people worked on finding a way to create a power source to help the world, and it was called the God particle. When they started to test the particle, they found that it had other uses, more creative use, and used these powers for their benefit.
Soon little things started to change in the world, a phrase, a name, but then people who once passed away were now living. Then parts of history were not only being changed but erased. Many people in the world had no idea what was happening around them, but some were not blind to the changes, whose minds stayed clear and awake at the time of the upheaval. No one knew why; some remembered what was changed while others didn’t. It was the ones watching the world transform that fought to tell others.
The ones who fought to tell the world the truth was considered crazy. They were given the nickname of The Great Unwashed by the many who were blind. The doctors called it a mass delusion, believing all these people must have been watching, playing, or interested in the same thing that had messed with their minds. The scientist came up with a more technical term for this phenomenon, Synchronized hypnoses.
The rest who were blind to the truth melded and changed along with the world around them, not seeing the creatures from other worlds appear when the landscape looked like wax being molded by invisible hands and rearranged into unfamiliar terrain or even when the unwashed were given gifts and talents.
There were few remnants of the world that once was. Out of blood and the bones of the millions of souls lost in violence and disputes sprang forth this new age, with new rules and a new way of living. Most live under the illusion of this reality, while others are trapped in the knowledge of what it once was.
This is a strange new world; only stories and drawings are passed down of what once was. A version of old and new that had collided together in an epic proportion that brought forth the world as it is known today. A form of technology and flesh mixed with a kind of brutal harshness of a time long, long, long gone by, met with harsh laws, unruly rules, and wildness that one can only call savage. This new world is not a pretty one. It is one where only the strong survive, the clever rule, and everyone else… they’re thrown to the wolves.
