Description

The world ended in a pandemic of conflicting realities, once-parallel dimensions intersecting perpendicularly—the conjunction of the Earth, Moon, and Sun formed a syzygy and the threshold weakened, becoming porous like a sieve.

Things beyond mortal ken flooded into the earth through world-wounds, hellbent and hellsent to devour humanity, root and stem. With the desperation that only the currently-drowning could muster, the last-remnants of A.R.K.A.N.E—a secret society established to investigate old-world anomalies—used the very same accursed power of the monsters: paracausal energy a.k.apara.

The[Omniglot]—the Tower of Babel—was born, an ontological construct erected atop the onus of the collective unconscious. An edifice staked to the world-wounds and the alien realities behind them, the[Omniglot]siphons para from the parasites that sought to consume us.

Instead, we came to consume them.

Maria Ferreira is the daughter of Pindoramean immigrants, never quite fitting in with either her latin heritage or her birth country of the United City-States of Vespuscia—being in the middle of two worlds tends to make you a sort of hybrid, belonging to both and neither. A college senior, she’s just a semester shy of finally finishing her doctorate in theoretical physics—immigrant parents tend to make you aim high in the socio-economic pick of professions; the chinelo a helluva incentive.

Unfortunately the world ends on spring break.

The power system is the lovechild ofJujutsu Kaisen,My Hero Academia, andHunterxHunter; i.e., restrictionswillapply. To have the skin of Achilles means that you gotta have his eponomous heel as well.
