The World of Normals: A Silent Watch and a Coming Reckoning
The world of Normals—the unassuming humans who go about their lives oblivious to the shadows that surround them—has not been as blind as the factions of the Epic Universe believe. Governments, intelligence agencies, and hidden networks of scientists and scholars have been quietly gathering data for years, amassing a trove of classified information about the “unnatural” elements lurking within society. Strange sightings, unexplained disappearances, and catastrophic events that defy all logic—these incidents, once dismissed as legend, have become puzzle pieces in a much larger, darker picture. While the supernatural factions plot and scheme, humans have been observing, recording, and piecing together the patterns, their awareness growing with each passing year.
The Normals are no longer entirely ignorant. While they may not understand the full depth of the Epic Universe, they sense it. They feel the cracks in the facade of their world widening. They know that something is lurking just beyond their reach, and they have begun preparing for the day when they can no longer ignore it. Governments have enacted secret protocols, dedicated entire departments to the study and containment of supernatural elements, and even begun identifying potential allies among their own ranks. Scientists experiment in labs buried beneath the earth, their equipment trained to detect energy signatures beyond the natural. They know that this world of hidden power and ancient feuds exists, and their patience is waning.
The Hidden War Preparations of the Normals
In basements beneath government buildings and in the shadows of international agencies, humanity has been arming itself. Whispers of unnatural beings—vampires, shapeshifters, sorcerers—have trickled into classified reports, and with each year, the fog of denial has lifted. Special operatives are trained in secret, equipped with tools and tactics meant to counter powers they don’t fully understand. Technology and science have begun to blend with the mystical, forging a new frontier of weaponry and tactics designed to level the playing field.
These preparations are not without risk, for every attempt to understand the supernatural invites danger, every experiment with arcane energy threatens to spiral out of control. Yet the leaders of this secret human initiative push forward, driven by the growing certainty that the time to act is approaching. They know that they cannot remain passive observers forever, and when the time comes, they will strike—not out of curiosity, but out of necessity, to secure their future in a world they no longer fully control.
A World on the Brink of Unmasking
While the factions of the Epic Universe remain entangled in their feuds and alliances, few among them realize how close they are to exposure. Every skirmish, every display of power witnessed by a Normal, accelerates the erosion of secrecy. The Style Assassins, the Magi, The Children—each faction moves with a sense of invincibility, certain that humanity could never truly uncover their existence. But the truth is that their movements, however covert, have left trails. The shadowy events that pass unnoticed in their world have left a mark on the Normal one, a mark that humans, with their relentless curiosity and ingenuity, have begun to decipher.
The veil between the supernatural and the Normal grows thinner with each passing day. Humanity, armed with data and driven by a survival instinct as ancient as any supernatural being’s, is beginning to see through the cracks. The day is coming when they will peer fully into the Epic Universe, no longer as unwitting pawns but as a force that can no longer be ignored. The factions will find themselves thrust into the harsh light of revelation, their secrets laid bare to a world that is not only aware of their presence but prepared to take action.
