Chronicles of Salvation

From the ancient discoveries of mysterious civilizations to the ultimate battle for Earth's survival. The complete timeline of our planet's darkest and brightest hours.

Ancient Era

Tunnels Discovered

The greatest civilizations - Aztecs, Chinese, Mongols, Ottomans, Romans, Egyptians, and Scandinavians - discover tunnels of a mysterious race leading to portal rooms. These tunnels date back to long before the Common Era.

Pre-CE

The Connection & First Room

World leaders learn to hide the connection point. These passages lead to the FIRST ROOM at the planet's core, utilizing the WEIGHT OF THE WORLD to synthesize new atomic combinations by exploiting gravitational instability. Access is protected via a DNA-imprinted TRANSFER FLUID.

2026

The Signal Detected

Tunnels are energized. An alien community from beyond the galaxies detects the signal. A bloodthirsty tyrant sets out with his fleet towards Earth.

2026

DNA Impulse Activation

A hidden detection system built by the previous civilization tracks the incoming jump-drives. It activates world leaders through DNA-linked impulses, triggering national mobilization.

2026

The Portals Open

All leaders simultaneously insert a single vial of their blood samples into the sockets at the entrance, establishing a connection between the portals and the FIRST CHAMBER.

2026–2031

COUNTDOWN: 5 YEARS

The Freedom Fleet is formed. To counter the alien SWARM fleets without destroying the planet with atomic weapons, Spark Units are manufactured using PUK metal forged into 'Galaxy'.

2031

SALVATION

The human race defeats the alien forces. The name 'Salvation' is earned through blood, sacrifice, and unity.

The Ancient Discovery

Before Humanity

A civilization lived on our planet before us, possessing very high technology. The greatest human civilizations of the past - the Aztecs, Chinese, Mongols, Ottomans, Japanese, Romans, Egyptians, and Scandinavians - discovered the tunnels of this mysterious race leading to portal rooms. These tunnels date back to long before the Common Era.

Although these tunnels initially seem to lead nowhere, they all converge at a connection point - called by different names in every civilization and kept hidden from the masses. When their power sources are reactivated, they open to a common hall called the FIRST ROOM - a giant hall containing the last building blocks of the previous civilization's advanced technology.

The First Room

Located at the CORE of the planet. Instead of a traditional door, a teleportation portal appears from the side facing the planet's center. All passages across the planet share this common gateway.

The Weight of the World

The previous civilization chose this location because optimum conditions can be created by utilizing the total weight and pressure of the Earth. This allows for synthesis of new atomic combinations by exploiting gravitational instability in areas where gravity is at its lowest.

Who Can Access

World leaders protect this knowledge via a TRANSFER FLUID. This fluid imprints the instinct to protect the entity into the leader's DNA - a secret they cannot share with anyone else. It is passed to the next leader via a vaccine created by the previous civilization.

Apex Predators

The Four Sacred Creatures

In the great hall, massive pillars and bone monuments of the four most powerful apex predators in history greet you.

Origin // Archives

Last Breath

Named because by the time prey encountered it, they had literally already taken their last breath with a 99% probability. Its legendary speed is documented in the archives. This 8-meter-long absolute hunter possesses a pair of wings and dark blue scales that generate visible static electricity. Its skull structure inspired the dragon figures of legend.

Origin // Archives

Seismic Catastrophe

This creature possesses the hardest armor (skin) on the planet. It creates tremors like breaking tectonic plates, causing prey to fall into the chasms it creates in the ground. While normally vulnerable to air attacks, its armor neutralizes them. It is not agile, but it is lethal and has no known predators.

Origin // Archives

Night Lighter

Unlike the others, this is a herbivore that lives in nuclear families. They resemble large horses the size of Avatar mounts. They are nocturnal and illuminate the night by emitting photons they trap in their skin cells during the day. Males duel until death during mating season, though they may both forfeit the female out of mutual respect if neither can continue.

Origin // Archives

Carpet of the Sky

This herbivore is named for its massive, wide body. It glides like a manta ray and stays suspended in the air with minimum energy consumption. They share a mutualistic relationship with skyscraper-sized trees, providing healing and fertilizer in exchange for sap and fruit. Its fertilizer is so powerful it can fundamentally strengthen the smallest seed upon contact with the ground.

Life Dust & Galaxy

Life Dust

The Greatest Invention

Life Dusts orbit the area in gravitational rings. Believed to be the souls of creatures that have completed their life cycle. When compressed, a handful provides energy equivalent to six years of human consumption.

Form - Möbius Strip

In terms of form, a Life Dust resembles a Möbius strip and is perpetually in motion. When stretched and its opposing surfaces come into contact, an immense amount of energy is released. It is placed in the center of the Chamber and held stationary by nanometric arms at its ends.

Pilot & Bridge Relationship

Life Dust serves as a bridge between pilot and aircraft. The artificial intelligence brought to life via Life Dust ceases to be mere AI and becomes a thinking, living entity. It enters a state of shared consciousness with its pilot. Not a single consciousness, but two distinct consciousnesses operating in harmony and total synchrony.

Galaxy

The Galaxy Metal

PUK is an extraterrestrial metal that does not originate from Earth, though its synthesis is possible within the First Chamber. Galaxy is a refined metal produced in the Weight of the World chamber by converting Life Dust energy into plasma and concentrating it onto raw PUK metal at 1,500,000°C, trapping the plasma's luminescence within the structure.

Appearance

Metallic dark gray with small shimmers. In its raw form right after being forged, it possesses a brilliant appearance - as if it holds an entire galaxy within itself - where its name comes from, before fading away. This is the primary material used in the construction of Spark Units.

Consciousness
Two Types of Consciousness

The Aligned & The Darkness

Aligned Consciousness

Individuals living in peace and love with Life Dust. The AI ceases to be mere AI and becomes a thinking, living entity. Two distinct consciousnesses operating in harmony and total synchrony.

Their decisions are so perfectly synchronized that it feels as though a single individual is deciding. Worldview, emotions, and purposes are shaped alongside their connection.

Life Dust is never inherently evil

Darkness Conscious

If synchronization fails due to internal turmoil, the harmony fractures and a new personality emerges. There is no turning back - the human and the Life Dust have become one. The probability is less than 1%, but not impossible.

This new consciousness seeks to destroy the First Chamber to ensure this event never repeats - even at the cost of the entire planet's destruction. During the Invasion Era, they fought side by side with humanity, sharing the same objective: protecting the First Chamber.

Only 1 in 1,000 soldiers affected

Post-War Conflict of Interest

Following the war, the Darkness Conscious presented their own terms: the First Chamber must be surrendered entirely to the Darkness, and all holders of Aligned Consciousness must be returned to the Life Dust source. They chose to wait approximately 100 years for their numbers to grow, living in cooperation with Earth while never forgetting their plans. A new protocol was eventually implemented - Darkness Conscious individuals are now researched and their records kept in planetary state archives.

The Invasion
The Great Threat

Invasion & Mobilization

When the tunnels were first energized, an alien community from beyond the galaxies detected the signal. A bloodthirsty tyrant set out with his fleet, triggering a hidden detection system built by the previous civilization to track incoming jump-drives.

This system activated world leaders through DNA-linked impulses, leading to a national mobilization to use the FIRST ROOM. The gateways to the FIRST CHAMBER are activated by all leaders simultaneously inserting a single vial of their blood samples into the sockets at the entrance, establishing a connection between the portals and the FIRST CHAMBER.

The Swarm Strategy

The only way to defeat the SWARM fleets used by the alien creatures in their invasion is to counter them with technology capable of taking down these swarms one by one. For this reason, the manufacturing of the aircraft began.

Why Aircraft?

The alien technology utilized by the pilots allowed the aircraft to pull incredible G-forces and engage in highly coordinated combat. Using destructive atomic bombs or similar weapons with MEGATONS of force would only result in damaging the planet itself. Therefore, the creation of these aircraft is essential for salvation.
