The world used to be a normal world until 89 years ago. It was still far more advanced than the town Stanley had lived in, but compared to the current world, it looked almost ancient.
The world was then split into over 50 countries, with 4 important ones. Eyland, Voras, Scargos, and Dardar.
The world was normal for the most part, except for the emergence of knowledge about Novas. Some 200 years ago, the government of Scargos had managed to find someone who could explain the weirdness of a few individuals, who also happened to coin the term, Nova.
For 40 years, they had managed to keep it a secret. However, about 170 years ago, fragments of the interview were leaked to the world. It was then that the regular people found out what a Nova was.
And it was then that the Novas figured out how they could get stronger.
