2022-10-14
The world is collapsing in destruction, and the only way for humanity to survive was to upload the consciousness of humans into a virtual network, called “Gaea”. After creating this virtual world, anomalies have been discovered in the Gaea system, called “Visbanes”. Those anomalies, or monsters, are trying to destroy what humans have created, a peaceful virtual world where to live. To combat those Visbansed anomalies, Gaea have created super human entities, called “Deities” that have formed the “Aether Gazer” military force. Your role in the Gaea world is to be one of the “Modifiers” and fight with them under the command of the Aether Gazer organization.
