+Bakground Story
In the near Future, human will manage to make some improvement in the technology, especially the Artificial intelligence. However, in the middle of development, the supposed AI of each nation was attacked by unknown virus and destroyed before they finished the next procedure about the AI goal to serve humanity for something convenient. The Nation which having their precious AI destroyed started to suspicious of another nation and decided to visit PBB only to meet other nation with the same unlucky fate.
Within this confusing situation, the leaders of each nation decided to do a joint project to figure out what actually happen and created an artificial continent on the ocean which they call ‘Athinaia Island’ and protected by the military. A few years later one of the researchers found a breakthrough and introduced a ‘new world’ to make it a safe environment for his AI. He makes his AI with a human-like body to adapt into this mysterious space which later makes the other researchers joined his project.
The ‘new world’ developed and turned into the Gracia Continent. Somehow it turned into life simulation as the AI inside makes a habit as real humans. But that is when the virus evolved to acquire a body with imaginary monsters. No one knows where the virus get that appearance and it becomes a headache from all the researchers.
Then the ‘Anchore’ was developed to help the researchers to fight the monsters, this device allowed the user to dive inside the Gracia Continent and as the diver was experienced and veteran soldiers the extermination was swift and excellent, however, one problem occurs. For some unknown reason, a man or woman above 25 isn't allowed to dive inside for a long time and make the researchers hold their head in frustration. That is when they decided to build an Academy on the Althinaia Island. The first generation of this school students (50 students) working hard with the AI inside and build a 2 castle to help in defending, which in a year later turned into a Kingdom.
2 years later, each nation started to show the ‘new world’ which they call Gracia Continent and make into one of entertainment for a public and mass media. This leads to making some young people interested in joining the Academy. However, as many of people who want to go to Althinaia Island, the requirements and complicated things must be fulfilled which for normal people is only a dream. Nevertheless, it's still a famous place.
Even at present, when the students overcame the monster (virus) the researchers and some student helper were developing the system while researching the monster body. However, these do not always run smoothly. The Althinaia and Gracia continent were shocked by the death of lead researcher whose the only one knowing the Gracia continent the most. Forced his first AI which he calls Aurora must take control of the main system.
+ Althinaia Island
A man-made island with the combination technology from each nation on earth to reveal an annihilation incident of their Artificial Intelligence. At first only inhabited by researchers and some military officers from each nation. Then they started accepting students and let them study in the Academy. Because some students needed a daily activity the government started to build other buildings than the Academy and they send some of their trusted civilian which skilled in their trade. A many shop and restaurant was built, then a small city was formed beside the massive land of the Academy,
+Gracia Continent
Alternative world or mirror place of Althinaia Island but far wider. It had 2 large kingdoms (the Atlanta Kingdom and Eranzart Empire) on the each (North and South) corner of the continent and around 12 villages from each kingdom which scattered around the continent.
The continent itself divided into 4 regions, a Forest region, a Desert region, a Highland region, and Grassland region. Each region filled with different virus/monster with different shape and strength.
+Forest Region

Sand Worms, Blood Wyverns, Assasin Scorpions, Rock Ogres, Golems, and Sand Cobras.

Expecting to lose from the human side, Aurora the lead AI used her full power and destroyed this place. Her power was a beautiful sight and breathtaking, but deathly, it's turned the beautiful place into a Desert. Then Aurora received a harsh rebound, she lost some of her power and forced to leave the continent and resting inside a special space to regain her lost energy while to become a guide for a newbie Champione.

Sometimes the Rare monster will appear out of nowhere.
+ Atlanta Kingdom
One of the Powers in control, located in the south of the continent. Had 12 villages under control and the First Kingdom to receive the new Champione (First Year students). They will train to defeat a regular monster in the Grassland region nearby while strengthening themselves with weapons and to recruit soldiers to help the Champione fight. Although they lose in power of the Empire, the Kingdom has a way to make their power keep standing firm.
+Eranzart Empire
One of the Powers in control, located in the north of the continent. Also had 12 villages under control and were the second and third year or the veteran Champione started their hunt, the Empire, famous for their strongest monsters and the frequent attacks makes it a dangerous place. And after the horde attack from the Second Generation, all the AI here has the most strength on their armed soldiers. And this is the home of Elite Knight the strongest knight on the continent, even the Kingdom Elite Knight were from this Empire. And they only appear when the emergency occurs or its already allowed by the kings.
+ Moonlight Shrine
A special place located in nowhere. This special building builds purely to housing the Partners. The buildings have unlimited room and maids who maintaining the building. This grand building design is like a certain white grand government on earth.
+Anchore
A unique Gauntlet like device which created by the researchers to help them to dive inside the Gracia Continent. At first used by the military force inside the faculties, however, its use was limited as the man or woman above, 25 wasn’t allowed to stay inside for a long time which sometimes breaks the chain of command. Now only used by a high school student in Althinaia Academy. Usually used in left hand.
This device was inspired on how the Anchor work. The body of human was the ships or the main body and with Gate device as an intermediary, it will pull out the consciousness but still keeping the chain to the real body. When the real body dissolves inside special space, the consciousness will control the avatar which makes as same as the real body. And if someone wants to disconnect, the chain will pull the consciousness from the avatar (which then dissolve) and back to the real body.
+Gate Device
A round object above a big metal tube. This device was used as an intermediary to use the Anchore smoothly. An important device, the Academy only has 8 and not all of them was used.
+Champione
Human boys and girls below 25 years who studied inside Althinaia to help the researchers to develop the AI and system also to fight the monster-like virus inside Gracia Continent. At first, they will have the initial equipment and minimal soldiers, where they will upgrade it to make them stronger monsters. The Champione was an avatar or another body that the conscious control on Gracia Continent.
Naturally, this body is like in the real world, so there is no health bar like in another virtual world. The system will give information directly toward the brain like the body condition and the amount of mana.
This body was amazing and stronger than the real body and each person having a perfect condition, however the pain of the attack received was still hurting, so usually the Champione only lead their AI soldiers to fight while they protected by their Partners and prefer to use a light armor to make them as light as possible or decided to use a range or magic attack.
This nickname isn't given only to the one who bravely fighting, but to the one who helping the researchers in system development and bug discoveries.
+Partners
A special AI created by the researchers and by the help from lead AI, Aurora to help and protect their master, the Champione. They usually were a person with full body armor and make it as tough as they can as a human shield. Usually, the normal Partner has been Male but somehow certain someone acquired a Female Partner and surprised everyone.
+Soldiers
On the Chaos inside Gracia Continent, they didn't fight alone as they can control a number of soldiers. At first, the Champione will be given an initial 20 soldiers for them to lead and then when their school score increased, the limit of their soldiers will be upgraded. As far as now, there is only one person with 500 soldiers under control. The soldiers here was naturally the resident of Gracia continent and sometimes the Champione would use them as a meatshield which makes the researcher troubled to maintain the population.
+Point
Because Althinaia Island was built in isolated ocean, a money currency in the world was no use as the one coming inside Althinaia Island was prohibited from leaving without the Academy allowed (except when the holiday, only a week each 1 year and a half), the Academy created a new currency which only can be used in this location. The Point not only used on Althinaia but also on the Gracia continent.
