"Damn you! Don't you dare touch my family with your filthy hands!"
A man shouted, gripping his shotgun tight—his voice trembling between rage and fear.
"Heh? You think that little stick can take on the five of us?"
A goblin snickered, its pale-green skin glistening under the flickering light, eyes full of cruel amusement.
The man held his breath. His hands shook around the empty shotgun.
He knew—it had no bullets left.
But he had no choice but to stand his ground, even when he knew he would lose.
For these savage creatures—rapists and murderers—had broken into his home, hunting his wife and child.
One of the goblins nodded, a signal the others instantly understood.
In a heartbeat, they lunged forward—five twisted shadows closing in, like predators circling wounded prey.
He tried to fight back, but panic and despair had drained his strength.
His scream tore through the wrecked apartment—a place that once rang with laughter, now silent witness to horror.
Inside the bedroom, his wife and child lay still. Lifeless.
He was too late—too late to save the ones he loved most.
Minutes later, his cries faded.
Not because the goblins showed mercy—
but because his lungs no longer drew breath.
They devoured him without hesitation, teeth ripping flesh like hyenas feasting on fresh kill.
The noise triggered the alarms.
Moments later, a rescue squad burst through the door—
only to find bodies and blood dripping onto the floor.
They opened fire on every creature in sight, hatred and grief guiding every pull of the trigger.
The world changed that day.
Mythical beings now walked the Earth—emerging through portals born from human ambition.

In 2086, humanity stood at the peak of technological glory.
Nations united under Project Helios, a grand dream to create an infinite energy source by manipulating space and dark matter.
Its purpose was noble—to end the energy crisis and lead civilization into a new golden age.
But on the night the first Helios Reactor was activated, the sky shattered.
The Pacific Ocean split open, revealing a glowing violet rift pulsing like a wounded heart of the world.
At first, humanity thought it was a cosmic phenomenon.
Then something fell through—
a dragon, its scales gold like molten sunfire, wings crackling with lightning, roaring above the sea.
And behind it came others: a titan of stone, a woman with raven wings, beasts of horn and legend.
The Earth trembled.
Nuclear warheads launched—missiles streaked through the sky—
but none could pierce the dragon's hide or the shimmering barriers of magic.
In three weeks, thirty cities vanished.
In three months, the world became a battlefield of steel and myth.
The creatures quickly realized how fragile humans were—
no super speed, no hardened scales—just soft flesh gifted with intellect.
They slaughtered them easily, mercilessly.
But they did not only kill.
They spoke, in a tongue ancient yet instantly understood by the human mind:
> "You opened a gate uninvited.
Our world crumbles because of it.
Balance must be restored."
The rift between dimensions began to fracture.
To the mythical beings, humanity's experiment was an attack.
To mankind, their arrival was an invasion.
Neither side was truly evil.
The mythical sought vengeance; the humans fought for survival.
The war between nuclear fire and arcane might raged for decades—
magic and madness clashing against science and steel,
claiming millions on both sides.
Then one day, a figure rose.
The Ancient One, king of all mythical beings, emerged from the heart of the rift—
a dark sun rising from the ocean, haunting every human dream.
He knew the war had to end.
At last, he met with the President of the United States, among the ruins of the sunken United Nations.
Both realized the same truth:
this world was too small for two civilizations,
yet too precious to destroy.
And so, a pact was made:
Twelve battles. Twelve champions. Twelve destinies.
"Let power decide who deserves to survive."
Thus began the Era of Two Worlds.
Magic and technology now coexist—
watching each other warily,
as the final spark of war smolders beneath a fractured sky.
