Path of Heroes

150 years ago, Earth underwent a sudden and catastrophic transformation—an event that wiped out 60% of humanity.

The very shape of the world changed as continents began to shift and merge, echoing the supercontinents of millions of years past. This massive geological upheaval triggered natural disasters of unimaginable scale, killing billions and reducing entire nations to rubble.

But unfortunately—or perhaps not—it didn't stop there.

Just days after the world-shattering event, as people clung to the belief that the end had come, the sky itself cracked open. A wave of foreign energy flooded the planet.

Mana.

It didn't take long for humans to do what they've always done best:

Adapt.

In time, people learned to harness this mysterious energy. They began developing mana cores, internal sources of power that grew stronger with training and discipline. As mastery spread, mana became so ingrained in humanity that children were eventually born with mana cores already within them.

Mana had become a lifeline—a blessing that allowed humanity to survive the end of its world.It gave them hope.

What once seemed possible only in dreams had become reality. The impossible was now achievable.

But that hope was short-lived.

A few years after the continents merged and mana appeared, a rift tore open in Europe. It was blacker than night, a swirling void that hungrily devoured the mana around it.

Then came the creatures.

Grotesque, alien, and terrifying—beings unlike anything ever seen emerged from the rift, slaughtering another 15% of the surviving population.

Europe fell. What remained became a dead zone, overrun by these abominations.

They came to be known as Void Creatures.

Yet, as always, humanity did not remain passive.

Armed with their newfound powers, humans began to fight back. What followed was a war—not just for survival, but against the end itself.

Void rifts continued to open across the globe, spreading chaos and terror. But even now, none have matched the sheer horror and devastation of the first rift in Europe.
