Nothing crazy has happened yet, AIs have been improving at a constant rate. Countries are relatively peaceful with each other, no viruses have done major harm. Reincarnations are being selectively placed in each world, destined to be the rulers of those countries. Obedient to the Most High and being the "perfect examples" of following the rules. This was how it was until two decided to disturb the peace by reforming the entire power construct of Earth.
Their names are Akuma Arino and Tenshi Katria.
Arino was in purgatory because he was apparently the acclaimed son of the Sin of Greed. He wasn't keen on gaining any power because he didn't see any need to. He was content living an ordinary life. But when certain powers intervened, he found himself executed at the stake. In Purgatory, he wanted to go to the Sin of Greed, Mammon for "answers" on why he was destined to be in there. All Beelzebub told him was "You need to stop the hierarchy". He didn't know what those words were until the Most High retold those exact words to him too. With those words being constantly put in his head, he felt he had to deliver.
Katria was always seen as the golden child. But there was always something else that her family was hiding. She was castrated for being truthful about herself while her family was two-faced. They only cared about their status instead of trying to make a family. This angered Katria; when she decided to flee from home she ended up being found dead in an inn 500 meters away from her family's castle. It was an inside job by her family to hide the truth from the world, but it was only downplayed as a rumor. She was sent to Heaven where an angel told her the same thing that Beelzebub told Arino. "You need to stop the hierarchy". With her built-up resentment of her family, and the fact that she is a part of the Tenshi Family she will do her best to withhold her stance as one of the abolitionists of the Anomaly.
The Anomaly is the hierarchy that makes it that the most powerful and the noblest have all the power. This feudal way of rankings makes corruption very common. Even after many attempts of reform, they have all been shut down due to the overwhelming power difference between the "Strong" and the "Weak". This unequal divide in power makes everyday life terrible for those at the bottom while making it a utopia for those on the top of the hierarchy. Arino and Karina's job is simple: take down the hierarchy. A simple statement but a complicated process. With this, let the saviors of Earth, Emerge.
Arino and Katria have been spawned into the world. The starter town they have been spawned into is called Vihnlox. In this town, they will start their quest to learn and adapt to the social standards of living in this town. This town is one of the only towns where the Anomaly has little to no effect on people's way of living. Arino and Katria arrived at the guild and registered as adventurers. In Starter towns they have a more nostalgic lifestyle. With Guilds and Guild Masters, outdoor shops and markets, and many houses that look like they were made in the 1400s. Even with its medieval theme, the technology in this town is on par with modern towns and cities. As Arino and Katria enter the Guild, they see a strange Orb next to a Guild master. The Guild Master is an average heighted girl, looks like she's in her late teens. She runs the only guild in Vinlox, the Raiden Guild. This guild has been passed down for 5 generations of guild masters until the final descendant decided to not have kids. When the news of this was heard, the Raiden residents started scrambling for a new Guildmaster to replace the current one. When this Guildmaster popped up, they were in high spirits. Her name is Akumo Arisa. Arisa was one of the only people with the tolerance to put up with angry adventurers and angry residents. If she has kids, her kids will uphold the guild. She picked up the guild master job because it pays good money and no one else wanted to do it. When she looked out to see two new people she hadn't seen before, she bolted upright and brightened her smile. She was excited that two new adventurers would join her guild, it had been a while since she has had some new recruits.
Guild Master: "Welcome to the Raiden Guild! My name is Akumo Arisa! Please put your left hand on the Orb of Foreseeable Might for me please."
The Orb of Foreseeable Might is a magic orb that tells you what your magical prowess is going to be. With the orb, people can find out their full magical potential. Whether it is the shining benevolence of Light Magic or the dark ruination of Dark Magic, this orb will tell you it. The origins of the Orb vary in terms of discussion. There is a religion for the fabled orb called the Legion of the Foreseeable. This religion worships the fabled orb. No one truly knows how it appeared in Vihnlox. It's unknown arrival and it's eminent presence made this religion skyrocket in popularity. It is said that the Legion of the Foreseeable can see into people's true nature, by their distinctive robes "given" to them by the Orb. It is said that the Orb is an entity only weaker than the Most High. This Orb makes finding your true potential much easier when you know what your work is best at.
As Arino puts his hand on the orb, the orb starts to shine in a dark purple, as the purple light gets brighter and brighter, the Guild Master grows worried.
Guild Master Arisa: "A-are you sure you want to see your potential? Sir?"
Arino: "Yes, yes I do. Tell me my role, Guild Master."
As the Guild Master got the courage to tell Arino his role and potential, Katria put her hand on the orb and the orb shined a blinding light. The Guild Master turned around and trembled.
Guild Master Arisa: "W-who are you people?"
Arino and Katria together: "We are adventurers"
The Guild Master trembles in fear. She knows that those two are going to be the most powerful in the village in such a little time. With their potential being shown to them, Arino and Katria got their adventure cards. With these, now they can reach the strength that's needed to start their mission. Before going on their side quests, Arino and Katria take a bit of time to engulf in the gentle kisses the wind gave them. This starter town, even if it is weak compared to other cities and towns, hosts the most amount of freedom out of the 9 Kingdoms. This town has no leader, yet it seems like everyone knows what they are doing just fine. The economy is stable, their food supply is grand and lustrous, there is a lot to do here. If Arino and Katria weren't sent here to do this task they could just stay here and have a good life. The starter town of Vihnlox is what the Most High wants the 9 Kingdoms to be like. Diverse, but unified through the Most High.
After doing some menial side quests, an architect asks them to explore an abandoned building. The reward is a relic from the First Anomal War. The First Anomal War happened 45 years ago. There was a huge divide between the nobility and the rulers of the Kingdoms. This divide was mainly about whether the common folk can live with similar standings with the nobility. The Ruler of the Obotihan Empire, Aldrich, wanted humanity to move forward, not be stuck in petty feudalistic rule. When he proposed this idea, many agreed with him, common folk and 5 rulers agreed that everyone is created equal in the name of the Most High. But the nobility, thinking they've been blessed by the Most High, think that the nobles and the rulers should be the only ones living in good condition. This petty debate led to an all-out war between the egalitarians and the nobility. With the war leading to many casualties, including two of the rulers of the 9 Kingdoms. With the rulers of the 9 Kingdoms winning the war, the nobility took out their rage on the common folk, leading to mass genocide of the common people of the 9 Kingdoms. With this genocide, the common folk's distrust with the government reached an all-time high. The rest of the common folk fled to other small suburban towns, making the search of the common folk very difficult. Even with this, the nobility used the army to conquer these small areas. With the army's superior arsenal and threat of nuclear violence, 75% of the suburban areas in the world are dominated by the nobility of the 9 Kingdoms.
Arino: "Wow! This is the forsaken first JPhone made back when I was in my childhood! What else does this place have?"
Katria: "I don't really think it's that exciting in my opinion. It's just a phone at the end of the day."
Arino: "True that but it's still one of the most revolutionary products just left behind in all of this rubble."
Katria: "Seems like the people who had it didn't care about what they left behind. Such a shame."
As they both continue investigating the abandoned building the more stuff they found. They found a Thompson Submachine Gun that was used in the Battle of Murawil Island. Katria found a ring that was left by the Great Bryson Lester of Yitia. She put the ring on her finger but the ring reacted badly with the ring.
Katria: "Hey Arino! Try this on."
As Arino puts the ring on his finger, the ring shines bright purple. That ring was no ordinary ring, it was the Ring of Greed. Only able to resonate with the beings of Darkness. This only confirms one thing.
Katria: "Arino? Are you really the son of Greed?"
Arino: "That's a question I have had for all my life."
After getting the Ring of Greed, Arino had sudden urges. Whether it being sudden tone changes, or sudden mood swings. This scares Katria, as their journey continues, Arino looks more and more like a demon. This would confirm Katria's fears when they get a mission; To explore the Church of the Anomaly. As soon as Arino went into the Church, he started to feel nauseous. He vomits out a black substance, the black substance disappears quickly. This showed that he was a demon. The son of Greed, Mammon: He couldn't believe it. Katria was scared as she saw Mammon appear behind Arino.
Mammon: "Why is he here with an angel?!"
Katria: "It's a task that was sent to us Mammon. Why have you appeared in front of us?"
Mammon: "To update you two on the state of the Anomaly."
