[i]An island in the middle of an endlessly blue sea. A war which drove humanity to the brink of destruction. The testimony of an explorer of a Land of Gods far across an the Endless Sea. The beginning of a New Age for humanity.[/i]

Long ago, long before anybody alive was born, a war was waged between humans and a sort of Neo-humans. The War progressed for many decades with neither side gaining ground. Caskets couldn't be made fast enough to bury the dead on both sides. The Neo-Humans had the upper hand though. They unlocked more of the natural powers their bodies had as generations advanced forward. Eventually, their soldiers were capable of hardening the muscles in their body like steel to block attacks. Humans started to die more often than the Neo-Humans. As the war went on Humans were left with only one option of surviving, the power of nukes. The nuclear weapons of a bygone age were rebuilt to be fired at the poles in order to flood the world, destroying the Neo-Humans and a large majority of humanity in the process.

Cities were built underwater and in the skies by the Human nations which remained. Citizens were moved to to the cities before the bombs fell and were spared death by the hands of their own race. And so, the War ended as Neo-Humans disappeared from the sight of the Human forces. With their foe believed dead, Humans returned to their lives in their new cities. Unbeknownst to humanity, Neo-Humans did indeed survive and, rather than killing humanity, mixed with them in order to survive. All across the world human children were born with the strength to harden their bodies, move faster than the human eye can see, and attack with a force which could break bones. 

These children would grow up to become great adventurers and warriors of the seas and skies. Beasts all over the world were mutated by the radiation to create monsters larger than anything humans could fight agains normally. One of the Half-breeds was known as Thomas Black, a protector of the people and explorer. Nearly a hundred years ago, Thomas Black supposedly made land fall on an island larger than any other in the ocean. He called it the Land of Gods where people who were powerful enough to destroy a mountain lived. He himself was said to have defeated their Lords, beings powerful enough to destroy the Island if they so wished. But, Black returned without proof and was heralded a Liar before dying from a disease. Before he died though, he left behind a map hidden on an unknown island which supposedly lead to the Land of Gods. And, it was also believe to have lead to a treasure beyond all measure.
