In the vast expanse of the Milky Way galaxy, humanity had long since evolved.

Most humans now carried within them abilities—Modi Operandi—supernatural gifts that were passed down through their bloodlines. These abilities, often hereditary, manifested in many forms, whether inherited from one parent, a mixture of both, or even entirely new powers unlike those of their predecessors.

Some children inherited powers beyond their parents' understanding, while others retained abilities from ancient, forgotten ancestors. In any case, nearly all humans possessed a Modi Operandi, though not every person was born with such powers.

Yet as the years passed, Earth—once a cradle of life—had become increasingly inhospitable.

Environmental decay, wars, and the exhaustion of resources had taken their toll on the planet. Its future seemed bleak, and humanity teetered on the edge of extinction. But in its darkest hour, salvation came from the God Council, a collective of celestial beings who had watched over humanity since time immemorial.

The gods, seeing the impending collapse of Earth, decided to intervene. With their immense power, they transformed Mars, the neighboring red planet, into a new home for humanity. Its barren surface was reshaped into a vibrant, habitable world.

The planet's two moons fused into a single, massive celestial body, and Mars's surface was covered in vast oceans. From these oceans emerged the Six Great Continents: Siamari, Uluan, Aishari, Iokayoya, and Saprius.

Each continent formed its own world, divided into countries, which were further broken down into regions, districts, towns, cities, and villages.

Each of these smaller settlements had its own system of governance: monarchies, republics, and even the occasional dictatorship. However, they shared one unexplainable, undeniable feature.

Each continent was watched over by a mysterious black orb, glowing with an otherworldly blue light. These orbs hovered above structures made of dark, pristine metal and emitted a faint aura.

Despite their otherworldly presence, humans soon came to understand that these orbs were of divine origin, serving as the central sources of life for each continent.

From that moment on, the people of Mars collectively decided to establish continental capitals around the six orbs, accepting the existence of the gods without question.

The God Council was composed of ancient, powerful beings who had shaped the planet's destiny. Although the gods had withdrawn their direct influence, they were still the unchallenged force behind the orbs and the energy that sustained life across Mars.

Despite the gods' absence, the orbs remained as a reminder of their existence, offering humanity a guiding light—though not one to be questioned.

The gods had saved humanity from extinction, sparing them from the collapse of Earth, granting them a "New Beginning." With this divine mercy, the planet formerly known as Mars was renamed Nora—a word meaning "Honor." It symbolized both the planet's rebirth and humanity's newfound reverence for the divine.

As the centuries passed, the continent of Saprius, the most developed of the six, flourished. Its population reached 4.75 billion, with the District of Lunanova, the capital country, home to 950 million people—about twenty percent of the continent's total population.

This vast and ever-growing nation, with its sprawling cities, towering glass structures, and steel spires, stretched far beyond the horizon.

Within Lunanova, the government ruled under martial law, its leadership bringing efficiency and control to the district, transforming Lunanova into a well-oiled machine. The government's influence reached deep into the fabric of society, consolidating power and shaping the future of the nation.

It was here, in the midst of a sprawling city of glass and steel, that the story of Zteel begins—where the path of a hero will rise amidst shadows of the past, challenges to a growing empire, and the unspoken will of the gods themselves.

For in Lunanova, power comes at a price, and the future of Nora may depend on those who dare to challenge its established order. The journey of one hero will force humanity to confront its creators, its rulers, and its destiny.

Thus begins the tale of Zteel—where one protagonist's fight for justice could unravel the very fabric of an empire and reshape the world as it is known.
