POWER

To most people, the world is ordinary. Nations rise and fall, cities expand, technology advances, and faith endures. But hidden beneath that calm surface lies an invisible divide — two sides of human advancement that can never truly coexist: Science and Magic. The Scientific World believes that every mystery can be explained, measured, and controlled. Through decades of research, scientists learned to trigger psychic phenomena within the human brain, creating individuals known as Espers — people capable of bending the world in ways that seem supernatural, yet remain bound to logic and calculation. Across various research cities and institutions, entire societies are built around training and ranking these Espers, studying their powers as the next step in human evolution. The Magical World, by contrast, holds that power comes from belief, not data. Ancient traditions, sacred texts, and forgotten rituals are preserved by secret organizations, monasteries, and churches across the globe. To them, miracles are not scientific anomalies but expressions of faith — symbols that connect humanity to higher, divine truths. Magic exists wherever devotion and mystery thrive, hidden behind cathedrals, ruins, and the veils of history. Though both sides operate in secret, they are aware of one another. Centuries of quiet tension have shaped the modern age — unspoken truces, covert missions, and forbidden collaborations. Science and Magic rarely clash openly, but when they do, the aftermath is written off as natural disaster, terrorism, or unexplained phenomena. For most of the world’s citizens, these battles are invisible. For those who can see through the façade — Espers, Sorcerers, and the rare individuals caught between — this is the true reality of the modern age: a world balanced on a knife’s edge, where logic and belief vie to define what it means to be human.
