Throughout history, secret societies have competed to steer world events in pursuit of a single goal: the Holy Grail.
Said to have the power to grant any one wish, the Grail awards that supposed power to the winner of a ritualistic contest, known to a select few as the Holy Grail War.
In past Holy Grail Wars, each clandestine contender used magic to summon a champion, called a Servant or Heroic Spirit, based on a figure of history, mythology, or literature. These Servants then battled, in a series of formal duels, on behalf of their Masters until only one of each remained. So it was for centuries, while the Holy Grail — aka the Moon Cell, an ancient supercomputer built into the Moon itself — observed and recorded it all.
The Holy Grail Wars, and the drastic measures it took to win them, twisted Earth's history off course.
Humanity never developed space travel, not after those in power derailed and forbade all such research. Soon after, and well into the 21st century, war, disease, and natural disasters ravaged the Earth, leaving it a dying husk.
Only one refuge still holds for the remnants of humanity: the virtual world of SE.RA.PH, hosted within the Moon Cell supercomputer. With no other escape from Earth, survivors remotely upload their consciousness into the virtual world, hoping to find a new home within its ever-shifting digital landscape. Here, even virtual beings have their own souls, living independent lives in pursuit of their own hopes and dreams. Gone are the arcane words of ancient spells, replaced with lines of code that modern-day Mages — known in the digital realm as “Wizards” - use to replicate the same effects.
But even here, the cycle of the Holy Grail War continues - or did, until you came along...
