"From Beijing to Seoul

Reaching across to Japan and all of Asia

Traveling onwards until arriving in Europe

Pinpointing destinations across the United States

And all that lies beyond

These bright lights will shine on and on

Until the last remaining spark has dwindled."

 

There are 12 sparks in our reality.

 

Each with their own story,

 

Building up and igniting

 

Until each and every one of them

 

Have burned brightly enough to reach

 

Into the stories of one another

 

Into the hearts of millions of people nationwide

 

Into the beautiful abyss of uncountable amounts of cheers and screams

 

And most of all

 

Onto the bright, blinding lights, of stages all across the world

Where all their dreams come true.

 

You may know them as EXO.

 

But,

 

What if life had a different plan for them?

 

What if life set the 12 boys of EXO off track?

 

What if something happened to them, and altered their hopes and dreams?

 

What if...

 

None of these boys became the idols we know them as today?

 

For this to happen

 

They would have to be born into a different era

 

An alternate universe, perhaps.

 

Where their dreams of becoming artists had failed or dwindled or never even came into existence

 

Would you stay for this story, too?

 

The story of 'normal' boys

 

Struggling to find their way

 

In a lost dystopia?

 

If so...

 

Welcome to the New world.

 

A place where emotions seem to not exist

 

A place where each person is categorized at birth

 

A place where people are forced to live by strict law, those who do not abide eliminated

 

A world where serendipity has been replaced by zemblanity.

 

Welcome to the lit world

 

A place where feelings run free

 

A place where each person is free to choose their path

 

A place where people can truly seem to live.

 

But in each seemingly perfect place, there must be a catch, no?

 

One day, not long ago

 

A sort of virus began to spread amongst the humans in the Lit world.

 

Each of the Lit world's people began disappearing

 

One by one.

 

Until now, only six are left.

 

And the rest...have come back. Not dead, yet not alive.

 

Just existing,

 

In the most horrific of ways.

 

Can you guess what those people had become?

 

And why were those particular six spared?

 

Since the very beginning of the era,

 

The Lit world and the New world had collided time and time again

 

And were rivals in all affairs; being so different from each other.

 

They decided to split their shared planet in two, to avoid plunging into complete war; ignoring one other by all means.

 

Each time the New world encountered shortages in materials, which was often, the Lit world never lent a helping hand, leaving the

inhabitants of the New world to die; therefore being the cause for the people there to have very few emotions, as their feelings had

been destroyed time and time again by countless deaths and misery.

 

So will they save the six,

 

Or let them become one of those 'things', and let the Lit world crumble, once and for all?

 

"Time shall wipe out all of us and there is no monument that can be left behind to mark out our last breaths."

 

 

Welcome to the Aexonian Era

 

A time where the world is split in two

 

And one half is crumbling.

 

And the decision the other half is making

 

May as well decide the fate of the entirety of all mankind.
