On the evening of April 10th, a young male was discovered deceased in an alleyway in Eastvale, having suffered fatal injuries consistent with blunt force trauma to the head. Initially, it appeared to be a tragic consequence of an altercation that had occurred in a nearby bar. However, further investigation revealed that the victim, Ivan Lewis, had been a member of the Patriot Brotherhood and had been terminated from his employment due to his racist beliefs. This revelation has opened up a complex web of potential motives and suspects. Ivan's behaviour, which was characterised by inflammatory rhetoric and discriminatory actions, had antagonized numerous individuals, including members of the Asian-American community whom he had insulted in the bar earlier that evening, his business partner's associates, and possibly even someone within the Patriot Brotherhood itself.

In the year 3813, Earth stands renewed, a world reborn from ashes where ancient energies entwine with futuristic brilliance. Cities float like jewels above crystalline seas, forests sing in harmony with machines, and peace reigns… but peace has always come with a price. Erza Akira, a woman who carries the weight of centuries behind her youthful face, remembers the world before its rebirth. Her memories reach back to 3593, to a time of chaos and to the woman whose name would echo across history: Alya Aerius. Abandoned as a baby and left to wither on the streets, Alya was saved by a kindhearted couple who nursed her back to life. For years they were her only world until the day that innocence was torn away. At the age of five, Alya witnessed her city fall to ruthless marauders. Flames consumed the streets. Blood stained the stones. And before her eyes, the couple who had given her everything were slaughtered mercilessly, decayed as though they were less than human. In that instant, grief gave way to fury. A wrath so immense trembled the earth beneath her feet. With a child’s trembling hands driven by vengeance, she struck back with a ferocity beyond her years, felling many before being beaten and left at death’s door. Salvation came in the form of a man cloaked in crimson markings, his body inked with blue lightweight wings that seemed to burn against his skin. With a sweep of radiant, azure light, he carried Alya to safety to the sovereign island of Helixia, the most advanced nation of the age. There, doctors discovered the truth: Alya carried Helixian blood. She was not an orphan of chance, but a daughter of Helixia itself. The man who rescued her revealed his name: Gerek Aerius. He took her as his own, raising her in strength, guiding her through grief, and tempering her rage. A rage so fierce it threatened to tear her heart apart. Years passed, and Alya grew into a warrior of unmatched resolve. To her was entrusted a fragment of the Cerebrox, an artifact of ancient power, scattered into pieces across the world. Her mission: recover the fragments before they fall into the hands of those who would twist their power to ruin. But the path before her is more than a quest. It is a crucible of fractured alliances, rogue factions, and choices that blur the line between justice and vengeance. Each step forward may not only determine the fate of nations but unravel the truth of humanity itself, its legacy, its power, and the very cost of peace. This is the beginning of a saga. A story where energy births powers, sacrifice breeds heroes, and wrath becomes the blade that reshapes the future.
