The Story So Far[ | ]
Hundreds of years a go Mega Corp tried to harness the sun itself - but instead of leading AESTHETICA into the promised vibrant future, the sky went pitch black. The specifics of this incident are sealed in the companies secret vault.
Nowadays the sky is illuminated by artificial lights, but most "stars" you can see are surveillance tools to help keep the people obedient.
(End of Age 1)[ | ]
For more than 50 years N3ONs have fought Mega Corp to almost no avail. But when a talented young magician made a name for himself as King of the Lost the tables finally turned. In a bold operation he and a handful of elite N3ON fighters accessed Mega Corps secret lair. But there they have already been awaited by one of the most formidable Generals, the Bishop of Curfews. The fight took great sacrifices on both sides. And in the moment that King finally had the chance to reveal was had been hidden from the world, unmasking Mega Corp forever, freeing AESTHETICA from their tyranny, a strange portal opened up and all combatants disappeared in an instant.
