In a universe connected to our own. Gods exist and make themselves known, there were 2 gods that were in constant argueing about whom was more powerful or could create the more powerful beings. Eventually they came to an agreement to create a race of creatures built for combat. So both of them created a half of the planet and a humanity in their own vision, granting them power, free will, potential, and each rose a champion with a gift. When a person dies in our world, their soul gets transported to this plain, implanted in the soil. Judged on their lives, and depending on their actions they will be an avatar of 1 of the 2 gods. Rimoto created a humanity in his vision with elitism and an elegance, while Zinora created a humanity of comradery and freedom. Rimoto's humanity rewards those that are born gifted and those that are not will be serving those whom are. Zinora's humanity allows anyone to participate and become worthy additions to the gifted. Rimoto made a system where one's worthiness gets tested through trials to overcome. When the gods created their humanities they agreed that making their own souls would be unfair since both would just bring the strongest of the strong into existence and have them duke it out. Instead, they made a pact with the god of our universe, for those that are willing can be transported to participate in this glorious war after they are released from their mortal shells. Upon arrival into the new world, your soul gets embedded into the soil of our planet and your deeds, morality, accomplishments, get judged. this judgement results in your potential. Once your potential is granted, you will be sent to either Rimoto or Zinora whom will welcome you to their side and fill you in on why you are here, you are free to live your life in the way you want, but a war will wage in 10 years time where both factions will clash. The losing side will be wiped off the planet, and sent back to their own universe, while the winning faction may live on and continue their existence without interference from the gods. With that information being told you are given your wings white from Rimoto & black from Zinora that can be reverted back into your body if you dont want to use them or not have the penalty to your power, it cuts more than half of your capability when they're out. The rules of living on this planet are a bit different, we don't HAVE to eat, we don't HAVE to drink, we don't HAVE to breathe, we only have 1 organ which is our heart, on the inside is just a circuit of thick wiring connected to our heart. that transports energy through our entire body. When the first generation of souls got raised both factions were next to each other looked the opposing faction in the eyes and disdain was brewed among them because they knew they would have to clash, and their gods told them those that are not the same as they are were to be considered their enemy. After the gods told all of them no major conflicts were allowed until the scheduled war 10 years later. Both gods gifted 1 of their warriors a blessing echoing telepathically announcing the gift to their champion. with a heavenly booming voice both gods tell them ''You have been chosen to be my champion, you are gifted to master all 8 fields : power, speed, defense, energy control, healing, destruction, flight, creation. what you do with this gift is up to you'' Rimoto's champion Helega, announced it to all subjects whom idolized her for being the chosen one. Zinora's champion Jore, remained silent about it, keeping it a secret as the factions went their own way. This story will follow Zinora's faction,
