A Scientific Divergence

***A Mystical Divergence: A Scientific Divergence***, often abbreviated as **Prequels** or **A Scientific Divergence**, is an action, science, fantasy, and mystery roleplaying series created by Roleplay Reinstituted. Functioning as a prequel to the acclaimed series *A Mystical Divergence*, the storyline delves into events occurring seven years before the original series. The roleplay was conducted within Helix's Ascent, a favored roleplay game developed by Jalpro.

While drawing inspiration from the popular anime franchise *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, *A Mystical Divergence: A Scientific Divergence* remains an original creation, featuring its unique twists, engrossing narratives, and distinct character development.

The fictional narrative unfolds in the year 2058 within the island city-state of Ultima City. The plot revolves around the city's descent into a state of national unrest following the rise of the Maestera Organization, notorious for their inhumane human experiments that convert SPECs into Multi-Utilizers. Concurrently, Alice Ultia embarks on her own enigmatic experiment.

The series was greenlighted for development in September 2022, shortly after the successful second season of *A Mystical Divergence* received praise for its well-paced storytelling, dynamic fight scenes, and dark thematic tone. The series started on October 17, 2022, and is ongoing,

*A Mystical Divergence: A Scientific Divergence* has garnered a predominantly positive reception, commended for its deeper and focused storytelling, emphasis on dialogue, intriguing plot twists, darker tone compared to the original series, and an overall improvement in roleplaying quality. However, it has also faced criticism for its pacing issues, plot holes, and occasional inconsistencies within the narrative.
