Personality.
The unique combination of characteristics that defines an individual.
It defines you.
It sets you apart.
It proves you exist.
Personalities are what dominate human decisions and are what decide which path you will take in life.
But if one personality trait was dominant for every individual on Earth. What exactly would happen?
This question was answered 25 years ago.
Ancient gateways birthed from the very fabric of the cosmos, torn apart to create passages between realms.
These gateways became known as "The Arches of Eternity."
Reality itself cracked, a cosmic wound oozing paths to realms unknown. From its depths emerged both saviors and destroyers.
Some came from realms far beyond our own—civilizations of incomprehensible power and boundless technology.
They wielded powers once confined to storybooks and television screens.
But…
Some came from savage, untamed worlds—creatures of chaos and destruction, driven by primal instinct.
They were something out of a nightmare.
We could only name them what they truly were: TERRORS.
They burned our cities, shattered our skies, and drowned our hope in blood.
Yet, in humanity's darkest hour, hope ignited—a flicker against oblivion. The first system user emerged, a beacon of possibility in the chaos.
After him, more and more people seemed to awaken abilities with the aid of the "system."
Their power stemmed from their dominant personality trait.
With the strength of the mysterious beings at their side, the Terrors were beaten back, and a fragile balance was restored—at least for a time.
But that was then.
Now, 25 years later, the world is ruled by the strong—the gifted, the chosen, the dominant.
That left me at the bottom of the food chain.
But not for long.
My ascent is only beginning.
