Horizon:Volume 1A History

History

"Once, because of the deterioration of the environment of this planet, people went to inhabit the heavens.

However, the humans who had become gods in the heavens started a war.

The realm of heaven, the realm of hell, even destiny, almost everything other than this current world collapsed,

And once again, they who had lost their power returned to this land, called Earth.

However, due to the environmental gods who had been left on this land, the environment of this planet had been excessively regenerated.

Monsters and mutants roamed; it was a world with an unforgiving natural environment.

On the land to which the people had descended—the island on which the gods who controlled nature resided, 'The Divine States',

They remained, unable to cross even the seas, let alone the skies."

"Eventually, the people regained the power of the gods, and they thought to return to the heavens.

But because of the unforgiving environment of Earth, and because they had lost their power,

The people were unable to leave the Divine States, and on this narrow island, a war over the land broke out.

It was a war between the descendants of those who had lived in the Divine States during the Former Earth Age and the descendants of other countries for the power over the territory.

As a solution, people copied the Divine States to Differing Space.

As opposed to Earth's unforgiving environment, they tried to solve the problem of land by making an experimental place.

The condition of the Divine States was examined by all the countries of the world, and the descendants of each country, other than those of the Divine States,

Decided to cross to the 'Harmonic World' in Differing Space."

"And even while continuing to labor, the people who controlled the environmental gods,

For the sake of using the gods and creating and maintaining the 'Harmonic World',

They entrusted the control tools which were the Divine Tools to the people of the Divine States in the Real World, and crossed over to the Divine States of the Harmonic World.

However, there was still the uneasiness as to whether or not they would once again be able to ascend to the heavens with the people.

And what was created then was the history book of the Former Earth Age, 'The Testament'.

The thinking was that, were they to recreate the history of former mankind from the beginning, they would once again be able to rise to the heavens.

It could be said that it was the walkthrough to history.

Thus, this 'Testament', containing the Seven Compositions and the Apocrypha, the old age up until 0 AD, and the new age after that, was created."

"To the Testament, a single installment was added.

A information concealing Ability was appended to it as a catalyst of the flow of destiny.

It became such that one could not read anything but one hundred years of the following history.

This was for the sake of preventing the gain of an advantage by reading ahead,

And the descendants of each and every country which had received the Testament as its core,

In the Divine States of the Real World and the Divine States of the Harmonic World, history had began to be recreated.

However, in the midst of this recreation of history, a certain grave problem had occurred.

The Divine Tools which controlled the environmental gods and the Earth Pulse as well as sustaining the Harmonic World, had been lost."

"In one act of the Divine States' history recreation, the battle of Nanboku-chou, the Divine Tools were lost.

At last, after decades, the Harmonic World lost control and collapsed.

Whilst breaking up, the Harmonic World fell to the Real World, and its fragments fused with reality.

The people of the Harmonic World, each with their own countries, invaded the Real World.

In response to all the countries, who had gained power as a countermeasure against the unforgiving environment,

The Divine States which had been drained from the Nanboku-chou War eventually surrendered.

However the complete control of the Divine States by other countries was not something in history.

Because the control of military and government was also refused by the Divine States, each country, with a school which acts as an academic organization,

They replaced the military and government with an Academy, going towards the provisional control of each country.

Doing this, atop the Divine States, the lord of every country and land carried out cooperative rule,

And whilst the Divine States' Sengoku Period and every countries' modern age influenced each other,

History was recreated as battles between the Academies.

—However, a new uneasiness was starting.

The history description of the Testament stopped its renewal since a hundred years ago, in 1548.

The last description is this year, 1648. That the renewal has stopped is that destiny has stopped.

In short, the end of the world, 'The End of Days', is treated as occuring this year."
