## Summary

## Ecosystem

#### Pre-Anathema

Similar to the real world, this version of Earth has various different species of plant and animal life that coexist in a standard cycle. The environment is far harsher than the real world, however, and many creatures have begun to evolve into stronger, faster, and more ferocious variants. There aren’t any specific distinctions outside the simple extremity in contrast to its real life counterpart, and the world is merely a crueler, more violent and aggressive version that thrives off of the bloodshed it has spawned.

Most creatures have an innate function that accelerates evolution far beyond its normal speed and potency, becoming colloquially named “meta evolution,” granting mental and physical facilities which previously seemed fantastical. Humans, in particular, became affected by this discovery. They began forcefully activating this function to try figuring out the extent of its ability after previously believing it to merely be some devil-worshipping byproduct, after the Freiheit Empire’s fall, for more context. This resulted in several deaths, as the victims couldn’t handle the forced acceleration of their adaptive capabilities.

Naturally, however, the worsening environment would slowly start triggering this biological reaction and humans would become greatly enhanced by its effects. Smarter, stronger, faster, and more aggressive, the society they created in this period of “enlightenment” would be considered nearly perfect in all aspects, from its economy to its allowance of freedom. But the advancing physical and mental processes of these metahumans would be accompanied by greedier, more destructive instincts and desires.

#### Post-Anathema

Once the powerful roars of the Crimson Engine began alerting all existence of another Great Happening, the previous one being the multiverse's creation, nations around the globe started preparing for what this strange situation could be. This world, in particular, lacked knowledge of the transcendent mechanism commonly referred to as the Crimson Engine, though some groups having an abstract understanding of what it may be.

Suddenly, a plethora of unique creatures from fantasy appeared across the world while some normal ones were imbued with esoteric energies beyond the scope of science. The earth below became more lively, and animals developed additional subspecies that possessed paranormal attributes. Humans were especially affected by this abrupt rise of mythical syndromes, as anthropomorphic beings that resembled or could transform into various animals started to create their own kingdoms.
