If someone built the System, they had to have a reason. They had to have the means. They had to have the insight. They didn't ask your permission before putting that voice in your head, so why where they so confident it was the right thing to do? This is that backstory. It's a slow-burn apocalypse in a realistic context, with a magic system so carefully defined that it borders on science fiction. It follows a party of adventurers whose very actions and decisions will define the classes, archetypes, skills, and abilities that will be used for all time. Where are we now: An ethereal, largely untapped form of magical power seeps into world, and its presence destabilizes the more fragile aspects of human civilization. But as the dust settles, an insidiously dangerous effect of this power begins to come to light. Where we are going: This is a highly non-traditional LitRPG in the sense that nobody gets thrown into a ready-made universe of conveniently structured classes and powerups. Everything must be invented and there has to be a reason. The trappings of LitRPG arrive slowly, evolved out of necessity and assembled piece-by-piece by the very people who need them to survive.
