Approximately 1,500 years ago, the planet 'Prithvi' mirrored Earth but was far more advanced. However, progress bred conflicts and disparities. The once democratic world had devolved into monarchy.
The supreme governing body of Prithvi, the World Administration, stood powerless as chaos unfolded. Corruption had deeply tainted the Administration. The concept of peace was merely decorative, mentioned only in books, as true peace was one-sided.
Scientific advancements were channeled into warfare. This extensive conflict, known as the Semi War, spanned over three decades. Lives were lost, but the idea of war persisted. Leaders came and went, but war and world domination remained constants.
The Semi War ended in a stalemate, with no clear victor. Six years later, the ravaged nations prepared to strive for victory once again. Two major countries, previously uninvolved, now showed interest in joining the impending conflict. The World Administration declared war inevitable. To prevent economic collapse, major economies decided on a peculiar plan: the war would span the next 30 years but with a year of peace after every five years of fighting. This plan, unusual as it was, swiftly passed through the World Administration Council.
This conflict, referred to as the Semi-Final, adhered to the rule of five years of war followed by a one-year break, yet it persisted for 65 years. Eventually, the Semi War was rebranded as the Preliminary War. Warfare had morphed into a game, with nations acting like children addicted to video games. This century-long war period was seen as the Semi-Finals, a precursor to what was to come. Smaller, less significant wars continued for the next hundred years, laying the groundwork for the Final War.
About 1,300 years ago, people began exhibiting supernatural abilities, which, within a dozen years, became widespread and were known as Naritti. At that time, there were five temples globally recognized as experts in Naritti training. The World Administration had ceased its pursuit of global peace and transformed into an organization that named wars and set rules for them.
With minor players out of the conflict, only a few major nations and their allies remained. Four years later, the World Administration declared "destruction is inevitable" and announced the finale—a war that would determine global dominance. This war, lasting 200 years, became known as the Finale or the End War. Collectively, the three wars—the Semi-Finale, the Elimination Round, and the Finale—were termed the Game.
The Game resulted in the deaths of over a billion people, with the closest estimate being 3,143,289,960. After the Game, Mondevieu and its allies, the Mondevieu Union, were declared victorious. However, a sudden famine ensued, lasting around a century.
Ultimately, the world that existed 1,000 years ago was annihilated.
In his book 'The Game', Jose Raymon wrote, "If not for the betrayal, the Voidol Union would have emerged victorious in The Game." Jose Raymon, a leading historian and strategist from 900 years ago, meticulously documented every detail of The Game with his team. Without his efforts, the dark side of this pseudo-peaceful world would have been lost to history.
The Mondevieu Union made extensive efforts to erase every bit of history. Consequently, much of what we know about The Game is speculation. Jose Raymon's findings, discovered during his exploration of 'the Dark Gravel of Central Mainland', constitute most of our current knowledge. This 400–500-year period is known as the Dark Period. Tragically, Jose Raymon was murdered at the age of 47, just a year after his final discovery. He had announced that he had uncovered the truth behind The Game—this occurred 895 years ago.
Ninety-four years after Raymon's death, the Mondevieu Union disbanded, fragmenting the world once again. The Monde Uni succeeded the Mondevieu Union, and two young giants—the Gobiemo Sangrieto and the Indus Union—rose to prominence.
Seven hundred and ninety-nine years ago, a war broke out among the three superpowers, lasting a year and becoming known as 'the Beginning'. The Monde Uni was declared the victor, establishing itself as the largest alliance in the world. Jacob Jeffery, the second president of the Monde Uni, proposed the creation of an autonomous body to govern the nations. This entity was named the 'Monde Uni', meaning 'United World'.
Since its establishment, no war as vast as The Game has occurred. However, centuries ago, a man named Ruhabayo traveled to the Raven Islands, proclaiming himself the Supreme Commander and Master of the Gobiemo Sangrieto. He challenged the Monde Uni to battle. The Monde Uni accepted the challenge and inquired whether Ruhabayo's army would be accompanying him.
The man climbed on a rock and announced, "No one will come, everyone on this planet is a sinner. I alone am JUSTICE. I, Ruhabayo, am here to end this series of wars by destroying the Monde Uni." "What can a man alone do to an army?" Jonathan Jeffery, the 4th President of the Monde Uni, asked, looking down at Ruhabayo. "Weaklings fight united, not gods." Ruhabayo replied. His long shiny black hair cascading to the ground, he had a shiny moon birthmark on his forehead. He wore a white robe which was covered by his hair and only a bit saying "JUSTICE" was being shown. "What insolence you have!!" Jonathan was filled with rage. He was wearing along black cloak on its back it had "The Monde Uni's Justice" written. He didn't had hair as long as Ruhabayo. His hair was brownish. He had a heavy silver spear in his hand which had the name "Jeffery" engraved on. "This world, this nature was given to me by the lord. I don't want your comments on what I should do and what not. There is the lord almighty to judge me." Ruhabayo said with a heavy voice looking above at the sky. "Lord almighty, you say. Where was this lord of yours when the great famine came out? Oh I remember very well that your lord almighty only comes after injustice has been done, right?" Jonathan mocked Ruhabayo, in the meantime his army was preparing for a battle. "I wonder…" Ruhabayo started to think. Improve this
The man climbed onto a rock and proclaimed, "No one will come. Everyone on this planet is a sinner. I alone am JUSTICE. I, Ruhabayo, am here to end this series of wars by destroying the Monde Uni."
"What can a single man do against an army?" Jonathan Jeffery, the 4th President of the Monde Uni, asked, looking down at Ruhabayo.
"Weaklings fight united, not gods," Ruhabayo replied. His long, shiny black hair cascaded to the ground, revealing a shiny moon birthmark on his forehead. He wore a white robe that his hair mostly covered, except for a bit showing the word "JUSTICE."
"What insolence you have!" Jonathan seethed with rage. He wore a long black cloak with "The Monde Uni's Justice" inscribed on the back. His hair, brownish and not as long as Ruhabayo's, framed his stern face. He held a heavy silver spear engraved with the name "Jeffery."
"This world, this nature, was given to me by the Lord. I don't need your comments on what I should or shouldn't do. The Lord Almighty will judge me," Ruhabayo said in a heavy voice, looking up at the sky.
"Lord Almighty, you say. Where was this lord of yours when the great famine struck? Oh, I remember very well that your Lord Almighty only shows up after injustice has been done, right?" Jonathan mocked Ruhabayo, while his army prepared for battle.
"I wonder…" Ruhabayo began to ponder.
