This is an early version of what became siVisPhases, there is no need to read this in order to understand that story--please discard Reader Beware: Original!Urban Fantasy, Survival Thriller, Harsh Progression. Constant Struggle, not Weak-to-Strong. This is a reality eerily like our own. This is a reality that's complicated further by fantasy. Contemporary times have finally ended, and the Phantasia era has begun. Due to the cosmic, reality warping Shift Noumena, life as we once knew it is now defined by things we once thought were fantastical. Instead of monsters, we have the Nulgarrt. Instead of ancient, hidden cities--Terminsys Cities are what's left after celestial space waves broke reality, once people's home towns. And what they got instead of magic? siVis. Enlightenment that reveals far too much, all at once. Forced to figure out a way to survive against what-once-was fictional tropes and plots. Living during confusing, turbulent when not only life never made sense, but is falling apart. Growing through out all of this, and growing to become just as weird. This is the story of those youths, not another heroic tale.
