In the New Era, the genetic shackles were broken, and carbon-based life entered an age of hyper-evolution.
Goats with human faces and mouths full of fangs no longer fed on grass.
Winged tigers could soar through the sky.
Giant ants several yards tall treated humans like insignificant insects.
Plants that could walk and move began trading with other species.
Of course, among the humans who relied on advanced technology to protect themselves, some chosen few developed all kinds of supernatural abilities after their genes evolved. They came to be known as the Gifted.
At the same time, in this age of hyper-evolution, the global order was shattered as people sought to defend against all manner of evolved beasts. Nations ceased to exist, replaced by a grand alliance divided into regions.
