Chapter 4 - Chapter Four: The Ascendants

The discovery came unexpectedly. While experimenting with Element Omega's reaction to different energy fields, Imperial House scientists observed an anomaly—a phenomenon where exposure to controlled magnetic forces caused certain individuals to undergo profound biological changes. Their neural pathways expanded, their perception of space and energy heightened, and their physical capabilities surpassed human limits.

These individuals, dubbed Ascendants, were unlike anything the world had seen before. With the help of specialized technology developed by the Imperial House, they could manipulate space gate energy in ways never thought possible—phasing through barriers, generating force fields, and even altering gravitational forces in localized areas.

Recognizing both the potential and the threat these beings posed, Kael formed the Omega Guard, an elite force of Ascendants tasked with enforcing order across the expanding human territories. Clad in cutting-edge exosuits that further enhanced their abilities, they became the ultimate peacekeepers—or enforcers, depending on who you asked.

The rise of the Ascendants changed everything. Governments, corporations, and rogue factions quickly realized they were outmatched. Fearful of being left behind—or worse, eliminated—world leaders called for an emergency summit. For the first time in centuries, war was no longer an option.

The Unified Accord was signed, merging Earth's greatest powers into a singular ruling body. No longer separate nations and corporations, humanity now stood as one under the governance of the United Earth Directorate—with the Imperial House and its Omega Guard as its protectors.

But unity always comes at a cost.

And not everyone was ready to accept this new order.
