Chapter 1 - Prologue

It is said that centuries ago, even before History was ever written, the world was divided between two bloodlines:

The Mortalis, ordinary humans.

And the Luminæ, beings capable of controlling the fundamental forces of existence:

Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Electricity…

Among them, however, were extremely rare beings born with even greater powers: Light and Darkness.

They were known as Lymen and Void— entities whose union was rumored to be powerful enough to annihilate entire clans.

For a long time, balance reigned.

The Lymen and the Void, opposites by nature, maintained peace through their experience and equilibrium.

To prevent humans from fearing them, the Luminæ swore never to use their powers against the Mortalis.

Yet despite this oath, the Mortalis chose war.

A great conflict erupted between the two lineages.

Although the Luminæ were far more powerful and on the verge of victory, fear consumed humanity.

The world itself nearly collapsed under the weight of that war.

Then, rumor became certainty.

A secret organization known as Helios emerged, claiming its mission was to "protect humanity from itself."

In truth, Helios viewed the power bearers as abominations— genetic instabilities that had to be erased.

And so, the hunt began.

Helios captured the empowered ones in silence.

They were studied… and then eliminated, one by one.

Their numbers fell drastically.

Families who carried the gift scattered, burned their records, changed their names.

Any sign of power became a death sentence.

The survivors learned to hide, to remain silent, to fade from the surface of the world.

Some formed small secret clans.

Others blended into society, never to be found again.

And yet…

An ancient prophecy, whispered through generations, foretold that despite the purges, one day an exceptional generation would be born—

A generation whose power could restore balance…

Or destroy the world entirely.

No one knew that this generation had already been born.

Nor that it was growing— together…

In secret.

Without even knowing it.
