Before humanity knew the meaning of science...
Before kingdoms rose and fell...
Before history was written in books...
There was an age when the Earth was not the world humanity knew.
An age now buried beneath the countless layers of history.
An age known only through fragments of forgotten legends.
The Prime Ages.
During that ancient era, a great disturbance occurred somewhere within the depths of the universe.
No human witnessed its beginning.
No ancient civilization understood its cause.
And even after countless generations, its true origin remained unknown.
But its consequences changed everything.
The boundaries separating different planes of reality began to collapse.
One after another, worlds that were never meant to coexist became intertwined.
Different dimensions overlapped.
Different laws of existence collided.
And eventually...
Reality itself merged.
The Earth became connected to realms beyond human understanding.
And from those realms came creatures unlike anything humanity had ever encountered.
They were called—
Phantoms.
At first, humanity believed them to be monsters.
But phantoms were far more terrifying than ordinary beasts.
They did not simply hunt human bodies.
They fed upon what made humans human.
Memories.
Negative emotions.
Souls.
And the very life essence that flowed through every living person.
Where phantoms appeared, fear followed.
Entire settlements disappeared.
People forgot their loved ones.
Others became consumed by despair.
Some vanished without leaving even a trace behind.
Humanity had entered an age of terror.
An age where ordinary weapons were useless against enemies that did not obey the laws of the physical world.
For centuries, humans struggled to survive.
Until something changed.
Some humans began developing a mysterious energy within themselves.
An energy that allowed them to accomplish feats that should have been impossible.
They could manipulate the elements.
Strengthen their bodies beyond human limits.
Move faster than the eye could perceive.
Create barriers.
Heal wounds.
And perform countless other extraordinary feats.
To the people of that era, there was only one word capable of describing such wonders.
Magic.
And those capable of wielding it became known as—
Mages.
For the first time, humanity had a weapon capable of fighting the phantoms.
Mages rose across the world.
They became humanity's protectors.
Generation after generation, they fought the creatures that had invaded their world.
Their battles became legends.
Their victories became myths.
And their sacrifices became forgotten stories whispered through the ages.
But humanity soon learned that survival required more than defeating phantoms.
It required hiding them.
The existence of phantoms was concealed from the majority of humanity.
Governments established secret organizations.
Historical records were altered.
Incidents were disguised as natural disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks, or unexplained phenomena.
The truth was buried.
And over time, the world forgot.
Today, approximately 92% of the human population has no idea that phantoms exist.
They live ordinary lives.
They go to school.
They work.
They fall in love.
They build families.
They wake up every morning believing that humanity understands the world it lives in.
But they don't.
Because behind the world they know...
There is another world.
A world hidden from their eyes.
A world where mages continue to fight.
A world where phantoms still hunt.
And a world where humanity's greatest enemy has never truly disappeared.
Now, in the modern era...
A new generation is beginning to rise.
A generation unlike those that came before.
A generation whose arrival may change the balance between humanity and the phantoms forever.
Why this generation is different...
And what brought about its rise...
Remains a mystery.
But one thing is certain.
The age of ordinary mages is coming to an end.
A new era is beginning.
An era that will produce the greatest generation of mages the world has ever seen.
This...
is the story of how they became the best generation of mages in history.
This is the story of Magical Fantasies.
