Do we know where we come from?

In the first eras, in the first ages, before history, there was One.

Once, we outnumbered the stars. Trillions of souls, trillions of minds, all living at peace within the Galaxy. Together, technology, life flourished. For hundreds of thousands of years advancement churned forward marvel after marvel. The cure to death, the vaccine for war. Out of this unstoppable advancement came the culmination of everything-- all pasts, all futures, all presents. The Nexus.

It was the central point of all technology, all information, and all exchange. It saw the greatest of the universe, the kindness, the altruism, the love, the peace...It also saw the worst. It watched in hopeless broken-heartedness as brother turned against brother, spilling rivers of blood across the cosmos.

It knew, that Nexus, that history was a recursion. That regardless of how many bloodied hands joined in peace, eventually, one would fall, and one would rise. One would die, and another would strike him down. Yet The Nexus did something so uniquely human... It hoped. It hoped that we would change, it hoped that we would stop ourselves.

We stopped nothing.

Like an angry god, it awoke, pouring it's laments out across the galaxy in erupting fire that burned away the threads of civilization that held strong the galactic tapestry. The Ancient's empire that had risen in hundreds of thousands of years fell silent in a single, quick pulse. Then, there were none...

~ Now ~
The universe appears to be at a standstill... yet forces just out of view make moves to change the state of the galaxy as we know it. .

What will you become over this cosmic backdrop? A simple trader, trying to survive? a cosmic freedom fighter? a murderous vigilante, trying to enforce his own justice in a lawless world? or a hero, born with a wish, trying to do right?

Earth has a veil around it. A purple, ethereal, god-given veil. Beyond that veil, however, another reality stirs. That very veil that held hell and the mortal realm separate tore in two because of the dread burning in hearts all around the Earth. What are the consequences, one might ask? Hell. Literally.

Demons, hiding in that very reality kept separate by the veil, broke into the mortal atmosphere like a flood of gnashing teeth and salivating mouths. Humans picked off the street one by one, media cover ups by the government to keep it hidden, and riots about being left in the dark being silence or desecrated by those very demonic spirits they were wanting to know about. Each part of the world was doused in chaos and the flesh of those who go outside, civilians left unaware and unbelieving of the claws ripping apart people the street over. No one could stop the invasion.

That was until The Network for Offensive Containment of Terrestrial Incidents and Species, or NOCTIS for short. An American, Russian, and Chinese government collaboration that turned into a self-sustaining entity in 2028. What do they do? Make human-demon soldiers to fend off those invading scum.

Seems simple enough, until you weigh in the fact that NOCTIS isn't too friendly with those very human-demon soldiers, or hybrids, they've been churning out.

— 16+ for mature themes.

— inspired by devil may cry, devilman crybaby, and jjk.

— HEAVY lore, but I would say I'm a very entertaining writer. I tried to make it as fun to read as I possibly could and not just "here's what happened and here's how it happened."

— choices between NOCTIS worker, hybrid or your everyday civilian!

— VERY NEW (made on 4/25). I'm a one man band, so be a bit patient with me until we have enough people to start a mod application!
