Chapter 1: Prologue
[First Year of the Nightmare Spell]
The first year of the Nightmare Spell was nothing short of despair.
It was anything but peaceful. It was bleak.
Ruined.
Chaotic.
But even before that, humanity had long tossed aside morale and had dealt with their own chaos in the world.
At first, humans exchanged a dance of bombs and warfare. Their adversity seemed to have no bounds even as to neglect the innocent lives they so claimed to have fought for.
But their own violence proved to be too much that even nature felt inclined to join.
A violence of its own that was a force to be reckoned with.
Much of the earth gave up and showed no mercy to its inhabitants. Oceans swelled and swallowed the coasts, lands with cracked open jaws consumed much of valleys and mountains, nuclear winters sullied the world in a period of darkness, and long after, the skies continued to shed its ashes.
Even by some miracle humanity found stability amidst this chaos, the universe had different plans for it.
