The advancement of technology in the world of Terra accelerated following the discovery of a black crystalline mineral known as Originium. This mineral possessed immense energy, enabling individuals to manifest magical-like abilities called Arts. Typically found near areas affected by natural disasters and catastrophes caused by Originium itself.

Regrettably, the utilization of Originium carried a significant cost - a heightened risk of contracting an incurable and highly contagious sickness known as Oripathy. Consequently, individuals and governments ruthlessly discriminated against those who were infected. This, in turn, sparked a dissident movement among the oppressed. Calling themselves Reunion, this rebel faction was formed with the goal of destroying cities and provoking further calamities.

This paramilitary pharmaceutical organization was renowned for its groundbreaking research in finding a cure for Oripathy, making it the forefront of medical advancement.

Unfortunately, the leader of the project is afflicted with amnesia, endangering the entirety of the research. The individual responsible for spearheading the endeavor is a mysterious figure referred to as the doctor. However, this individual's condition holds the potential for the world to escape the clutches of hopelessness.
