Chapter 1

It all began three decades ago, with a phenomenon that rocked the world to its core. This event, unforeseen and unprecedented, reshaped the very fabric of existence, leaving humanity grappling with the consequences.

New terms entered the lexicon: Gates, Portals, Dungeons, and Other Dimensions. From these gateways emerged creatures of myth and legend, turning ancient tales into chilling realities.

Accompanying this upheaval was the emergence of a new energy, mana, which wielded immense power and wrought havoc upon the world. Humanity found itself besieged by monsters wielding this newfound force, leading to widespread devastation and loss.

Amidst the chaos, humanity began to adapt. People and animals alike evolved in response to the mana-rich environment, displaying newfound resilience and strength. These evolved beings, dubbed High Humans, possessed extraordinary abilities ranging from enhanced physical prowess to mastery over the elements.

With these newfound powers, humanity launched a relentless counteroffensive against the encroaching darkness. Over the course of a decade-long conflict, they reclaimed territories lost to the monsters, particularly in the less populated regions of Asia.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, higher beings made their presence known. Gods, Deities, Spirits, and Demons manifested in the mortal realm, selecting individuals to serve as their emissaries.

Some were chosen as apostles of the gods, wielding divine powers in defense of humanity. Others, corrupted by the influence of demons, became agents of chaos and destruction.

A conflict of cosmic proportions ensued, pitting the forces of light against the agents of darkness. Towns and cities trembled beneath the fury of their battles, as apostles clashed with unimaginable power.

In the end, it was the apostles of the gods who emerged victorious, led by Zarx Voltace, the chosen representative of Zeus, King of the Gods.

Alongside Zarx stood a cadre of formidable apostles, each representing the pantheon of Olympus:

- Aethania Wildrove, the wise and strategic Apostle of Athena.

- Rain Walters, the enigmatic Apostle of Poseidon, master of the seas.

- Jack Ripper, the shadowy Apostle of Hades, lord of the underworld.

- Blaze Argenon, the radiant Apostle of Apollo, harbinger of light and healing.

Together, they stood as beacons of hope in a world shrouded in darkness, their triumph heralding a new dawn for humanity.

And so, as the cheers of victory resounded across the globe, another tale unfolded in a distant world, where new challenges and adventures awaited.
