Book 1 of The Trilogy of The Foretold --- Though much has happened in the nineteen years he has lived, Prince Animus Stone never imagined it would lead to this. He desires few things: death, compassion, and solidarity. Unfortunately, the mess that unfolds isn't part of it, and what he wishes for always seems just out of reach. Somehow, he isn't surprised. In a world where power stems from stones, Animus navigates a life shrouded in darkness and uncertainty. Haunted by ghosts, both literal and figurative, he finds solace only in his sister Thráxi, who struggles to protect him from the dangers lurking in their supernatural world. But as shadows close in and enemies grow stronger, the siblings must confront the darkness within their family—and within themselves. -- "Why are people surprised at the changes a single year brings? So many things can happen in hardly a second; that should be more surprising, right? -M. Malle

It was called the technology that changed the world. The «Nervous System Synchronization», or «NervSy2nc», [Pronounced, Nerve Sync]. It fundamentally changed how society interacted with the digital world; information, data exchange, and the internet were altered with the release of the NervSy2nc. The «NervSy2nc», a device that allowed man to physically feel, and connect their minds to information network through the neuropathic systems. These systems connect each device to the synapses that connect neurons together, and then connect those pathways to the information Highway. This technology brought man into a new age of understanding, and technological advancement. With the birth of the «NervSy2nc» Most physical mediums - cellphones, computers, and handheld devices - became obsolete. Medicine made leaps in bounds in both diagnosis, and treatment of a wide variety of diseases and illnesses. Though the use of the «NervSy2nc», with enough money advanced Skills, and techniques could be learned in days, directly uploading the skills to the mind. Languages could be processed, and understood near instantaneously. Memories, and vast amounts of data could be stored, retrieved, or removed within minutes. Along with the development of the technology came «Quantum Super Computing» and the eventually development of «Virtual Intelligence», programs designed with near life like qualities. Through development of the «NervSy2nc» and «Quantum Super Computing», special «Virtual Intelligence Programs» called «Per.S.O.N.A», or «PERsonal System Operating Neuropathic Anima/Animus» were created with the intent to assist in information flow and management. Each «Persona» could be told to restrict, and block incoming harmful junk data, while accessing and sorting potentially helpful data. Each «VI» was designed with a multitude of forms, personalities, and voice data. In this new digital age of information and data exchange, a new use for this technology emerged, changing the face of gaming forever; the «R.E.M.D.» or «Rapid Eye Movement, Dive System» - often referred to as «Dream Gaming» - came to be. R.E.M. Diving allowed players to place their mind in a virtual body, while their physical body slept, placing oneself in an artificial, vivid, and lucid dream. This technology allowed games to reach new heights by directly placing the player into the game, with little to no side side effect. The Development of this technology- «NervSy2nc» and «Dream Gaming» all stemmed from, Rin Maurus. Rin Maurus in turn continued to take his technology to new heights. He created a single game that linked all genres and styles, while doing what was before an impossibility, linking the entire world through this game and many others. He created quantum network servers to link all servers of the world together seamlessly. This created a new virtual world that was much larger than our own, that was traversable from one sever to another without a break in connection. Millions upon millions of players worldwide have joined this game, leading to a membership count of over two billion. In this fictional world anything was possible; Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror and Social platforms. All became possible; in this world you could do anything or be anyone you wanted. This is the world built by the genius, Rin Maurus.

May kilala ba kayong tao na konting galaw, napapamura? Tipong, konting kilos lang, napapasabi na ng "Tangina!" Tipong natutuwa lang pero kung makamura, daig pa may kaaway siya? Siguro naman lahat tayo may kilalang ganyan, 'di ba? At madalas nga, babae pa. Siya 'yung tipong masarap at nakakatuwang kasama. Lagi kasi siyang game sa kahit anong trip ng tropa. Tipong kahit ayain mo ng inuman, ikaw pa susuko sa kanya. One of the boys, ika nga. Kilos lalaki, astang lalaki, minsan nga naiisip ko mas lalaki pa siya sa akin pero, ayon sa nabasa ko sa Psychology, lahat daw tayo may girl and boy side. Ito daw 'yung animus (musculine) side ng babae at anima (feminine) side ng lalaki. At siya? Ayun at mas nanaig ata ang animus kaya ganun siya. Pero magkaganoon man, alam ko na deep inside, kaya ko pang pangibabawin ang feminine side niya. Alam kong idinadaan niya lang sa mga asal kanto at ugaling tambay pero... deep inside, babae pa rin siya. Kaya naman sisimulan ko ang planong pagbaguhin siya at tatawagin itong, "Operation: Taming the Bad Girl!"

Year 20XX, a large explosion devastated the city of New York. The explosion, although was huge —was vastly weak compared to a grenade explosion, as if there was no heat nor force exerted. The buildings were completely intact, however there are no survivors, the city were suddenly crawling with vicious creatures now identified as "Animus", beasts with greater strength to handle any of humanity's weapons of that time. One by one, country by country, until today— the silent explosions continuously appears to bring dread to humanity. Years of work after the initial explosion, researchers were able to detect fluctuations before the explosions, buying enough time for people to evacuate. But that doesn't mean that it will help humanity in reclaiming their cities, they would only continue to fall apart from there. However, this breakthrough is what allowed research to go further than just observing. Smaller explosions that were detected, was observed to only spawn weaker variants of Animus, a category known as Lesser Animus. Animus that are smaller and weaker, yet durable nonetheless. Soldiers were dispatched in order to retrieve Animus carcasses to be studied. By two more years, humanity was able to find out the means to make a weapon against their now common enemy. A weapon capable of using Anima, an energy used by Animus. However the only ones that can wield it are the creatures that can produce Anima from their body which are the Animus themselves. Although humanity was ready to give up on their fate, by one stroke of luck their evolution led to be the one they need the most. A rare number of people with the capability to absorb and utilize Anima energy appeared, thus the start of the battle for reclaiming. However, while female combatants can control their Anima energy, the male combatants can hardly control their own, resulting in their own transformation into an Animus themselves. Thus it was banned for men to use any Anima equipments, only to be instated as non-combatant officers. These individuals are titled "Reapers" for their ability to produce Anima. An organization was formed in order to manage the Reapers and to dispatch them as humanity's finest weapon against the Animus. Fifty years after the initial explosion, the Anti-Animus "Soul Retrievers"— branch in Quezon City, Manila, a man was enlisted as part of the 4th Division of Reapers. A rare individual which is in between normal human and a Reaper, a man with a weaker Anima energy, yet is capable of wielding it freely as much as others. A small piece that will undoubtedly play a part in the largest project of Humanity: the reclamation of safety and to claim victory against the Animus.

"Ha if they think that making me unable to cast any form of magic would put me at a disadvantage they are wrong this is nothing compared to when bullets are flying in a fight. I only broke a light sweat." The being laughed in a pleased tone before turning around. He quickly closed his eyes he could hear the figure get closer to him. "'Sigh'... you idiot I told you that you should a least carry a dragger. You managed to get dragged into this and you almost died cause you rely too much on your magic." The being sighed before touching his cheek lightly. "Luckily it seems he's only unconscious as he's breathing. I almost didn't make it in time... I'm sorry." The being muttered before lightly kissing them on the cheek healing the light injury on his face.
