The One Who Reads

Chapter 1: Prologue

The Sages rule the world.

Every Era a new Sage is crowned, from the hero that became the strongest, and resealed the greatest evil, The God of Chaos. Now in the 14th Era the seal is starting to come undone, and only those with powerful bloodlines can fight against the evil that approaches.

Everyone has a bloodline, but many are useless. Nothing happens to the useless, and they can't gain any power, their lives are left at the hands of the strong. But even the strong are labelled, they can be Transcendent, Incarnate, or Blessed, and they all have different strengths.

Everyone's awakened bloodlines give them power, and through developing them, can gain more power, becoming something that is no longer human, but what is called a Developed.

In all the Seven countries in the Mainland continent there are only 20 Developed. Of them 13 are Sages, and can no longer fight Chaos. The seven hero's capable of saving the world and becoming the 14th Sage all fight with their teams to seal Chaos away once more.

Classes that belong to these hero's give them the full reign of their bloodline and allow them to unleash it to it's maximum capacity. This is the sole advantage given to the righteous, a way to control their power, and become something greater than themselves.

Through legends and stories people learn about their predecessors, and how they fought. But as the righteous grow, so does Chaos. Every battle is much fiercer than the last. Only with the greatest power will humanity succeed. Will Chaos finally reign supreme, or will the new Sage seal him again?
