Underfell

Summary

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMAN and MONSTERS. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.

This was all part of your history class.

There are multiple monster kingdoms, although only one in your country—as far as history is aware—and where exactly they are sealed no one knows. One of the many mysteries lost to time.

Or rather to war. Specifically the Great War which took its terrible toll on humanity. Since sealing the monsters centuries ago fewer and fewer humans are born with the ability to use magic. The Great War nearly wiped out the rarities that remained, and since the war, no other human has been born with the ability to use magic.

Which is truly a shame as the world is still filled with magic.

Humanity is coping as best can be, but it is not an easy transition. What countries remain after the Great War are largely dependent on magic; switching to an alternative power source has been a struggle.

The last humans who can use magic are struggling to keep up with the demand, and their aging bodies only signal humanity's time limit.

You, like most of the population, cannot use magic.

But that’s okay!

You don’t need magic.

You have something else. Something even better.

You have you.
