The arrival of the Purists changed our world forever.It was not a random event, but a consequence — a desperate attempt to survive.

  Their homeworld, Elaran, had once been a thriving planet, full of life and possibility. But the Elarian thirst for progress, wealth, and power pushed it to the brink of collapse.Uncontrolled experimentation, wars over dwindling resources, and eventually a global conflict devastated the planet, leaving it drenched in radiation, with undrinkable water and growing famine.

  Elaran’s scientists initially tried to save their world: atmospheric purifiers, resistant crops, advanced technologies… but it wasn’t enough.So they turned their eyes to the stars.

  They searched for a habitable planet where they could start over — and eventually, they found one.But there was a problem: their portal network, though highly advanced, could only connect cities and continents within Elaran. Traveling beyond, to another world entirely, seemed impossible.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  To overcome this limit, the Salvation Project was born.The brightest minds of the planet united around a single goal: to build an interplanar portal, one capable of carrying what remained of humanity to a new beginning — even if it meant a one-way journey.

  While the scientists worked feverishly, the rest of the planet continued to die.Once numbering in the billions, the Elarian population had dwindled to just tens of millions — and it was still falling.

  Then, one day, they succeeded.The first stable connection was established. A portal to the unknown — to another planet.

  It was then that the scientists broadcast a global message: the Salvation Project was ready.They called upon all who wished to survive to gather in one of the last remaining active cities. It was the only hope.

  The people answered.A steady stream of men, women, and children gathered in that city, carrying what little remained of their lives. They hoped for a miracle.

  The scientists were clear: “There is no other way. The future lies beyond this portal.”Many accepted. Others hesitated — but there were no alternatives.The time of Elaran was over.

  And, unaware of what awaited them, they were about to set foot in a world that was not expecting them.
