Chapter 0: An Introduction to the Current World

The world today after facing the effects of war has become a little reformed. The humans were usually classified as sorcerers or more commonly known as mages. Due to an incident which occurred few centuries ago the world was transformed and magic became the part and parcel of life in this modern age. Magic brought about many changes and wars to be faced. To control and monitor those changes the Sorcerer's Association or more commonly known as Mages' Association was formed. Over the years it got divided amongst the government, palace rule, dictatorship and many more depending from region to region.

The great land of Moon or the country 'Tsuki no kuni' had the leader or the elders in power which decide the course of action for the country. Afterwards , magic academies were developed instead of normal schools for all the students and different ranking systems were developed for the military. The highest ranking officer was usually incharge of all the security and other major issues, he was known as the Meijin(king) or addressed as the commander; everyone in village had great respect for the king as he was not only the most powerful person, but also the one everyone recognised because of his deeds.

Academies had general education and few other courses till you turn eleven, if you could graduate you would become a full fledged mage. Mages were really respected in the society. According to their contribution and power they were assigned different ranks in the military.

The Land of Moon had some prestigious families who had their own secret art or special technique passed on, like the Danma family, the Hiwatari family, the Minamoto family and many others smaller families...

As the kingdoms and countries developed they become overwhelmed with greed and started to attack each other for better resources, just like a chain reaction it led to the current circumstances where despair was filled in the kingdoms and countries. After many contradictory opinions and internal strife the kingdoms were in the period of rejuvenation. Trying to hide the effect of war was useless, commoners and mages were affected equally because of the war, but still some commoners blamed the mages for their sufferings. Even if commoners had mana , they were not considered mages until they passed the trials or the academy exams.

Years passed after war and the effects of the wars were becoming less and less prominent, but the internal strife still existed. Graduating from academy became tougher and tougher , and became a sign of honour; Mages became the symbol of admiration. Human's sins continued to increase again, the crime rate and the tension between the countries grew more after few years from last war. Can the next generation change the current world?

Can they transform the old way of thinking?
