Eveything can be explained by science. Math is science. Math causes phenomenon to happen by carefully applied methods. In this world, we humans have unlocked the secrets of dividing by zero, and have harnessed the technological advances it has brought us-Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Virus Blackday, a Magh, someone who harnesses the endless combinations of numbers to create "magical" phenomenon, such as fireballs and shields of wind. "How," you may ask? Science. Actually a bit of math too. You see, the energy from our "magic" is derived from perpetual energy. By splitting an atom with a volatile beam of radiation, it will split a number of times before expiring. The split atoms will be all the same size and the same element, by the result of the Negative Infinity Law, which says:
"By overcharging an atom with massive amounts of energy, it will split into two masses of the same size and energy, which will also split into two and so on. The atoms will split for a limited number of times before expire, the higher it's density, the longer it will last before expiring. Because of this, we can finally divide by 0, with which the answer is infinity. "
Now that you understand the NI Law, you need to understand how magic works. Magic is energy projected from a focuser, which in my case,
is my semi-metallic hand, that can be channelled into different types of energy. Since humans broke every natural law, skilled Magh called Infinirs or Infies can channel their energy to bend time and space, gravitize an object and create whole planets. Because of this, we humans have expanded our world and now have planets of every size colonized by humans.
The system isn't perfect, though. "Errors" can still occur. Excess energy from Maghs can suddenly zoom to an objects, overcharging its atoms. By the NI Law, the object should double in size and cause a catastrophic mass shift. It doesn't. The object will gain life and form, semi-human in form but has animalistic characteristics. We discovered that no two different objects can have the same creature, and every planet has a different biostructure for the creatures, even if the same materials are used. But the creatures have a different mindset from humans, and they consume our bodies and digest them for nourishment. Some creatures can speak in the universal language and has made truces with the human race. The wilder species talk too, but they prefer consuming us than talking to us.
Author's note:
Hi! Vincent here. I want to say that this is a work in progress, but we will be creating this as a book. Some parts will be remade and rewritten, but it will still have the twchnicalities. Ciao!
