Prologue: The Realms Fractured

Long ago, there was only one world.

A world of endless sky and molten earth, vast oceans brimming with life older than time itself. At its heart pulsed the World Flame, a source of all mana and matter, guarded by gods, governed by dragons, and inhabited by those who respected the ancient harmony.

This world was called Oris Magna, the Great Origin.

But balance is fleeting. A war between the divine and the primordial shattered Oris Magna into fragments, breaking time, space, and destiny. From its pieces were born The Realms — isolated dimensions, each inheriting echoes of the world that once was.

The calamity became known as The Sundering.

And from its aftermath emerged something stranger still — The Gates.

The Gates

They opened like cosmic wounds — rips between dimensions, glowing portals that bled mana across realms. At first, they were feared. Then studied. Then… weaponized.

Through them, civilizations clashed and cultures mingled. Technology merged with sorcery, spirit beasts walked in neon cities, and dungeons began to erupt like blisters on the skin of the world.

Today, these gates connect the known multiverse — a network of worlds, each vibrant, dangerous, and ruled by its

Dungeons and the System

Soon after the gates began opening, Dungeons appeared — chaotic zones filled with hostile creatures, volatile mana, and remnants of dead worlds.

Each dungeon contains:

A Core: anchors its structure. Cannot be destroyed.

A Boss: defeating it shuts down the dungeon temporarily.

Loot: skill books, rare artifacts, and relic-class items.

A hidden "System Code": invisible rules governing mana, stats, and leveling.

Forbidden Arts

Magic is regulated — but one type is outlawed: Blood Magic.

It manipulates life force, soul essence, and divine contracts. Its last known user opened a one-way gate into Mythralis… and never returned.

The Forbidden Bloodline

From the forbidden realm of Mythralis, one creature defied fate.

A White Dragon, daughter of the Sovereign Skyclan, fled her own people — not for glory, but for love.

She had broken the greatest taboo: she bore the unborn children of a fallen deity, once the second highest in the pantheon — the Starbound Flame — now imprisoned beyond divine reckoning.

She crossed a forbidden gate. She collapsed in a city park in Archeline.

And though she was taken in by a kind family, she died during childbirth — leaving behind twins.

Twins who would carry in their blood the legacy of god and dragon.

Twins who would shape the future of all realms.
