"Theory of Strange Threats"
In the past ten years, a lot of changes have taken place. The mountain collapsed, the underground city broke ground, and Huttonmar, which was originally the center of Arad, disappeared without a trace.
Countless dead and wounded are killed, monsters become ferocious, and casualties continue to grow. In this day and age, soothsayers say that the end of the world has come, and it sounds so true now.
It is a matter of pride that we live in this dangerous world and have not lost the will to live. We can rightly tell our descendants how hard we have worked to live.
I want to pay tribute to the kind and strong residents of Arad, and at the same time to warn about the dangers that most people are not yet aware of.
Have you ever heard of the "Stranger"? There shouldn't be a few people who know about them. Even if they had heard of it, most people didn't know what the difference was between them and magicians.
The reason why they are unknown is that the Adepts are hidden in the crowd. It's also because they're extremely smart.
Readers reading this may have a question: So who exactly is the Adept? The next content is very important, and I hope you will read it carefully with your eyes open.
To put it simply, the Adept can be considered a type of magician. They can manipulate forces that ordinary people can't use, so they are often mistaken for magicians.
However, in reality, a mage is quite different from a supernatural being. Only a few talented people whose identity and personality have been proven can become magicians after a hard trial; But the power of the Adept is innate.
This is their greatest trait, and at the same time the reason for their danger. In a state where management or even research cannot be carried out, the supernatural beings born from mutations, although they are born with great power, are not born with the correct concept of being able to control this power.
You can understand how terrible this is, right? Think about it, magicians have learned the limits of their abilities after a long period of training, and they are deeply aware of the dangers of magic.
Magicians are also educated to memorize rules that have been passed down through history. If someone violates the rules and harms innocent civilians, they will be reported to the Magic Guild and the perpetrators will be punished.
In short, the mage is subject to various constraints, and this conditioning is knowable and controllable.
However, that's not the case with abilities. Abilities are innate abilities whose scope and limits are known only to the person themselves. Not only that, but no one has studied the Anomalies, and even if they used their abilities maliciously, there is no basis to determine whether they were responsible.
I mean, there's been a lot of change in Arad lately, and if they take advantage of it, it's going to be hard for people to hold them accountable.
In fact, there have been several cases in the past where Adepts have abused their "hidden powers". I've found several instances of presumed sudden actions by Anomalous Ones in my past records, and it is presumed that they actually caused many times more damage than I found.
However, the creepy facts don't stop there. Most of the Anomalous live in seclusion, and we have no way of knowing their numbers and actions. Moreover, even magic could hardly perceive them, and it was almost impossible for them to find them if they made up their minds to hide.
My next-door neighbor might be a paranormal, what a terrifying thing!
Not only that, but the power they possess, which they possess by a divine curse, will destroy their humanity. There are many examples that prove the conclusion that the accidents they cause inevitably lead to mass sacrifices.
Do you have people around you with gloomy faces and wandering eyes, searching for innocent victims?
Is there a succession of misfortunes around him, or are there often bizarre accidents that cannot be explained by common sense?
Think carefully about whether there are any suspicious people around you. If there is definite evidence, report it to the official authorities immediately. Investigating whether there are any people with special abilities in the crowd and being vigilant is what we need to do at all times.
We can't afford to let go until we figure out why they have the ability and fix it.
