I am Loki
In 2025, humanity reached for the stars. A pioneer mission to Mars was hailed as the next great milestone, echoing Neil Armstrong’s famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
But instead of glory, the mission tore open the thinning veil that had long shielded Earth from the eyes of other worlds. Portals, called "Gates", appeared across the planet. From them came invaders, seeking to conquer and enslave.
Yet Earth was not defenseless. In the chaos, humans awakened to the powers of gods and heroes from myth. These chosen were called Avatars.

Louie smiled.
“I am Loki.”
