Humanity was unprepared for the sudden appearance of the 'gates'.
But they were even less prepared for what came out of them.
With their species brought to near extinction by the monsters which invaded through the gates, the last of the surviving human beings were forced to make a radical decision.
Stay on their broken world and die, or escape into the gates and have a chance at living.
The humans who were able to escape into the gates managed to travel between many different worlds and eventually managed to settle.
They named the new settlement: New Capita.
Those who enter the gates willingly are known as 'hunters'.
They leave the safety of New Capita, lured by the fame, artifacts and adventure found on the other side of gates.
They live and die in completely different worlds. But those were the early days.
In the early days, New Capita was completely reliant on the hunters for resources, but now the city has become more self-sufficient.
The respected hunter profession is now falling out of favor with the general populace because of its high mortality rate, causing the hunters the citizens used to be so reliant upon to be ostracized.
This is why Magnius' obsession with the profession isn't understood by many. And just like the hunters themselves, he starts to be shunned by his classmates because of it.
But Magnius Solexil still dreams of the adventure and countless worlds on the other side of gates.
He was born to be a hunter, and nothing can change that.
