Synopsis
One ordinary life. One random accident. One world he never knew existed. Cyrus Moore was just your average, run-of-the-mill, perpetually bored eighteen-year-old. One that was absolutely over the monotony of everyday life. His days are filled with nothing but boring classwork, half-hearted conversations, and a nagging feeling that life is passing him by. That is, until he gets hit by a car and everything changes. After waking up from the accident, Cyrus discovers he's not only alive, he's different. Strange powers begin to stir within him. Reality starts to unravel. And soon enough, he's plunged into a hidden world where magic pulses beneath the surface of modern life. Now, nothing is quite what it seems to be. Now, caught between the mystical and the mundane, Cyrus must navigate deadly enemies, magical creatures, covert organizations, and a ragtag group of others just like him-gifted, confused, and in way over their heads. In a world full of pulse-pounding action, heart-wrenching drama, and electrifying twists, Cyrus and his friends must embark on a spellbinding ride through a modern world. One where the confines of fantasy are far more real, and far more dangerous, than they seem. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

Chapter 1 - Prelude

Magic...

In the past, it was considered nothing but the substance of legends and fairy tales. A tool used to add an aspect of wonder to the common fantasy story. However, in modern times, it is just as real as the air we breathe. Now, an era where what was once considered supernatural is now reality.

November 2nd, 1952, would come to be considered one of, if not the, most important day in human history. It was the day when the course of humanity had been permanently altered. On that day, a historic event known as "The Great Awakening" occurred. No one truly knows how or why it happened, but the results of such an event were undeniable.

Suddenly and without warning, strange beasts started appearing all over the world. Creatures that could only be described as inhuman or monstrous in appearance. However, even stranger was that very few people could actually see them.

On that day, exceptional individuals began emerging from across the globe. Regardless of race, age, ethnicity, or nationality, men, women, and children began developing strange abilities. Abilities that some would consider fantastic, extraordinary, or even supernatural. The ability to breathe fire, manipulate light, or even control the very ground we walked on was no longer considered to be the stuff of legends and fictional heroes.

These awakened Individuals would later become officially classified as "homo-magai". But these days, everyone refers to them simply as "Sorcerers".
