In the beginning, there was only one kind, humans, fragile yet fiercely adaptive, born from the soil of the Earth and blessed with boundless ambition. They built cities from stone and steel, reached beyond the clouds, and delved into the mysteries of existence. But ambition, unchecked, invites the unnatural.

  When the Veil between worlds thinned, the Humangels were born, offspring of human devotion and celestial energy. They were taller, ageless, wielders of nature's breath and light. To many, they were messengers of salvation. To others, agents of control. The Humangels decred their role as guardians of bance, yet their rise marked the first great divide.

  Not long after, from the darkest recesses of the soul and flesh, emerged the Subhumans, the result of cursed rituals, war-bred mutations, or something far older. Their bodies were votile, fueled by inner heat, their souls constantly at odds with reason. Feared and shunned, they found soce only in the shadows.

  To unify the fractured world, a figure appeared from the remnants of ancient humanity. His name was Oner Viren, a wanderer who sought truth beyond divisions. His teachings were carved into seven stone tablets, poetic, cryptic, prophetic. These teachings would come to be known as the Viren Codex.

  “From earth they were formed, by fire they were tested, through wind they were sanctified, and into light, their souls shall return.”

  What was once a message of unity became a weapon. The Humangels cimed the wind and light. The Subhumans clung to the fire. The humans rooted themselves in the earth. And thus, a single verse birthed three ideologies, three agendas, and three distorted truths.

  Over centuries, the Codex was used to justify policies, walls, revolutions—and executions.

  Then came the event the world remembers in silence: The Cleansing of Athis.

  Under the banner of peace and purity, the unified forces of Humangels and human governments descended upon the Subhuman stronghold of Athis. Entire bloodlines were erased. Vilges turned to ash. Survivors were branded, hunted, and forced underground. It was called salvation. The Subhumans called it genocide.

  Now, decades ter, the world teeters again on the edge of rebellion, secrets, and reckoning. The Codex still speaks, though its voice is fractured. And from the margins of society, three individuals unknowingly walk toward a truth that could unravel it all.
