Years ago, experts came together and sealed the demons who are the enemy of the human race. The formations used were meant to draw energy from nature. Thousands of years later, due to factors such as climatic change, the formations have weakened and now demons are getting set free. This is a threat that put humans into threat of extinction and only less than two million people are left alive. It is at this moment people with abilities displayed by the demons appear and claim to be from the lineage of these experts. This shed a new light to the already dark path and there is hope for revival. The world becomes a place of survival for the fittest as humans strive to survive. *** As for Athan, he is nothing but an illegitimate child of one of these families.

In a world where gems are more than power—they are law, humanity has risen to dominance by mastering socketed gemcraft, shaping civilization through the Gem Security Agency (GSA). But when the refugee alien race known as the Luminia arrives seeking access to Earth's gem reserves to restore their dying homeworld, a fragile alliance is born—one that could unify or shatter the planet. As Earth prepares to sign a historic treaty granting the Luminia limited gem access, tragedy strikes. A terrorist attack decimates the summit, kills the human representative, and steals Earth’s most prized gem collection. The peace deal collapses in a single blaze of invisible light. GSA field agent Elias Vasselheim, wielder of the legendary Oathgem, Saber of Conviction, is assigned to investigate the attack—alongside his younger sister Naia, a gifted gemcrafter haunted by past trauma. Forced to partner with the serene but secretive Luminian envoy Elira, tensions rise as Elias wrestles with his vow to protect Naia—especially from the very race that cost her an arm. But as the trio follows a trail of stolen gems, falsified resonances, and black-market socket rings, they uncover a conspiracy far deeper than terrorism. Human syndicates and militant Luminia have joined forces in secret, planning to rewrite the balance of power across the entire planet. When tension sparks, old wounds bleed, and the more they dig into the past, the more it becomes very obvious how fragile the treaty between both races is, and the closer they get to the spark that could lead to the very war Elias, Naia, and Elira are trying to avoid.

Ages ago a God descended on earth bringing the gift of magic with him... Magic infused itself with every living being on the planet, completely altering the world and it's fate. With magic at their side people succumbed to their greed, proclaiming that they are the true rulers and have no need of Deities anymore. Centuries had passed and the war still raged on... That's when The First Convicted has been born... Under the guidance of Father-Emperor and his Generals, also known as blood-keepers, people were able to strip the magic from a living being, in the process making it refuse any more of it after. They were called Convicted, believers that magic was not the only way to live the life, remembering the roots of human race. Convicted couldn't use any magic, yet at the same time were immune to its effects. A perfect weapon against inhuman powers that Gods possessed. Only two months after their victory over Gods, Convicted revolted, proclaiming that all magic was a poison that clouded humans judgment. With all their experience from previous war and unique abilities, they were winning and slowly cornering the remnants of emperor's force. September 16, 0829ABM "Aaaand... Done!"
