Ch.0 Part 1. People

80 years since the introduction of “Current Exchanger”, people are now using smartphones and personal computers run on mana in their everyday life. Mana, which was first discovered by the Egyptians in 2000 B.C, they used their knowledge to build the Pyramids of Giza, which was passed down to the Romans and to the east in about 2 centuries. In the 3rd Century B.C, China discovered their mana proficiency and used it to construct the Great Wall and to fight the nomads from the north. In the 4th Century A.D, Mayans in North America discovered their talent for mana, independent from the rest of the world, only to see it as a miracle for those who are fortunate.

Acquiring such knowledge only calls for danger and as such, the practice of manipulating mana to materialize banned by the Pope Urban II in 1091, persecuting anyone who has affiliation of “magic”. In 1692, the Salem Witch trials were held, resulting in the lives innocent pupils. A riot and an unrest began in the wake of the executions, involving the real mana users, demanding the persecution to put on halt. Since then, no such atrocities were committed against those who are discovering their talent for mana.

Studies cannot prove nor deny the existence of God. Traces of mana can be found on every copy of the Bible, Torah and Quran but they can be from the devotion of the writer. As the religious material cannot be created by soulless beings, each copy of the Bible is written by hand and each copy of the Quran is printed by hand. Religion does not affect human-mana bond so the idea seems unconventional.

In the late 18th century, at the end of the Industrial Revolution of 1712, inventive minds were born into a much freer world. Nikola Tesla, the inventor of the AC electricity, also discovered the transmission of 5th state mana by the same conduits and wires. As mana has more potency of electrostatic and behaves only with certain conditions it was given, it is a more suited energy source and state than electricity. Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity explained why the implications of mana did not follow the laws of the material universe. But his later “Theory of Irregularity” explained both the state of mana as the 5th state of matter and the chaos theory, in collaboration with Edward Lorenz.

During the wake of the Magical Revolution, Hugo Marques, an inventor, and a programmer, developed the Arcane Engine – a 5th generation computer that utilizes pure mana charges, which are much faster than the electric charges, and a liquid-core processor that is essentially a small generator itself. Since its introduction in 1828, computing science, as well as every branch of the natural science, has greatly developed and leapt “399 years into the future”. Yet the people of the less fortunate, do not have the luxury to experience the growth of 4 centuries, as they are still stuck with hammers and sickles, making use of manual labor and feudalism as their social cast.
