The Arcane Crystals arrived and brought many things to the world. Some perceived their destructiveness as punishment. Others worshipped their existence. The Guild saw a financial opportunity. Nations saw a weapon for conquering their neighbours. The System detected a virus that needed to be purged.

Kade's curiosity always got the better of him. He would argue it wasn't his fault, but his two feet carried him towards the crystal that would send his life into chaos like so many others. However, Kade wasn't one to give up, even with the odds stacked against him. His newly found access to the System and his determination would not let his misfortune be his end… at least for now.
