Eighty years ago, humanity experienced an unprecedented leap in technology. Vehicles that could levitate, advanced machinery, powerful prosthetics—marvels once thought impossible became part of everyday life.
Humanity was thriving.
But twenty years later, everything went to hell.
A genius scientist—brilliant but reckless—tried to mess with time travel. The experiment backfired in the worst way imaginable. It ripped open the fabric of space and time it self, creating countless rifts across the planet—gateways to other dimensions.
And from those rifts... came chaos.
Horrifying bloodthirsty creatures emerged from dose forbidden realm, pouring into the world as we know it. Some had blade-like limbs that could slice through steal. Others were covered in armor like- skin almost impenetrable like nothing ever seen before.
The world was thrown into a brutal war for survival.
Nations fought back with every ounce of tech and firepower they had. But in the first ten years of war, half the global population. Entire cities were wiped off the map. Humanity was on the brink of extinction.
Desperate, the world's remaining leaders formed a global alliance. They pooled their forces, their knowledge, their last hopes.
But even that wasn't enough.
Just as all hope began to fade....
Something changed.
Children started being born with extraordinary abilities—gifts triggered by the mysterious Garmon Radiation, a strange energy leaking from the dimensional rifts into our world. Somehow, it rewrote the rules of nature.
Now, these children know as riftborns, became humanity's final hope in the battle against this invaders.
Over the years of brutal war, with the help of the Riftborn, humanity finally began to push back.
What was once a desperate fight for survival became a true resistance. For the first time in decades, humans stood their ground against the monstrous invaders—and held the upper hand.
The remaining world governments, now united, took action. With the power of the Riftborn at their side, they constructed an immense wall—300 feet tall and nearly impenetrable.
It was humanity's final line of defense.
The wall encircled the last surviving cities, keeping out the terrifying creatures now known as the Baal—nightmarish beings born from the rifts. Thanks to the Riftborn, the Baal were kept at bay... for now.
Inside the wall, life carried on—but it was nothing like the old world before the Rift.
Survival had a price, and so did power.
Over time, the remaining governments—once united against a common enemy—became clouded by greed. Disagreements turned into power struggles, as each faction argued over who should rule within the wall.
Every government wanted control.
None wanted to share it.
After years of tension, they reached a bitter compromise: divide the land within the walls. Instead of one unified leadership, the safe zone was split into three massive sectors—Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3.
But at the center of all three zones stood the Sentinel—
The Riftborn Academy.
It was the only neutral ground left in the world. A towering fortress of steel and stone, surrounded by defense grids and Rift-energy barriers, it stood as a symbol of what little unity remained.
Every Riftborn—regardless of whether they came from Zone 1, 2, or 3—was brought to the Academy the moment they turned seventeen. No exceptions.
There, they began their real training.
The Sentinel wasn't just a school. It was a war machine—designed to mold Riftborn into weapons. Students learned to control their powers, master combat techniques, and push their limits under brutal conditions. Each cadet was ranked, monitored, and tested constantly.
