Once upon a time, the earth experienced many crises that made life difficult for most people. Starting from overpopulation, lack of food sources, to polluted and unclean air.
Luckily in the 22nd century, a group of researchers discovered a unique energy. With that energy, they managed to create various miracles that they had never seen before.
Dead land that had been forced to be planted came back to life. Those who were seriously ill or dying were saved. Forests that had previously disappeared could be easily recreated. Even the thinning atmosphere was successfully restored.
This energy that allows humans to reach new heights was then named Magis because since its appearance, people's lives have become better.
However, a few decades later, the magis energy became an epidemic that infected hundreds to thousands of people quickly. Death is something to fear, but there is something that people fear more, namely becoming a monster.
Almost everyone who is infected is sure to turn into a monster, and become a new threat. Although humans have the technology to defeat them, but the use of things like bombs, only makes their planet more damaged. While firearms such as pistols and rifles have little effect on powerful monsters.
The magis energy that they used to be proud of has turned into a source of fear. And no matter how much resistance they show, they are unable to face humans who continue to be infected and turn into monsters.
In the end, humanity fell. Millions of people die every year, and continue to grow, due to dwindling resources and weapons.
Until finally, a calm period arrived. Although it is called a calm period, it is actually just a time when there are not many monsters that are active.
Humans use that opportunity to rebuild civilization, and restore their damaged planet.
Several hundred years have passed. Humans have risen again thanks to several independent organizations, and are trying to build a better life.
Then of all those organizations, there is one largest organization that contributes the most, namely Entropilia Technology.

July XX 2499 ~
Somewhere, three teenagers are seen near a large device. Two of them were fixing the device, while the other was standing guard nearby.
After solving the problem with the device's engine, the two girls met their friends.
"How is it?" The boy asked. The boy's name was Reiqi, or more commonly called Leo, part of his last name, Leonardo.
"Just a few parts are a little loose. Maybe that's what caused this Guard Tower to die." Answered the girl who looked a little tomboyish. The girl's name was Karen.
"It's only been an hours and half since we left, we're going back right away?"
"The commander needs our report immediately. We can't delay too long." Said the youngest girl. The little girl's name was Dahlia, she was their team leader.
After they got into the car, Karen immediately drove it to their headquarters, the Bright Night headquarters in Daejeon, Korea.
In this 25th century, cars can already be made to fly, but because there are roads on the ground, they prefer to save fuel.
During the trip, Dahlia made detailed notes for the report she would report. Meanwhile, Leo occasionally looked out the open car window.
They were magis soldiers from Entropilia Technology. Magis soldiers are the term for soldiers who have undergone body modifications to strengthen themselves.
As magis soldiers, fighting is something they definitely do, and Leo quite likes it. But now he has been put into a team that works at night.
At night, the magis energy in the air becomes a little calmer, so fewer monsters appear than during the day.
As a team leader, Dahlia pays quite a lot of attention to her members. It has been almost a month since their team was formed, so she has begun to understand Leo and Karen's characters.
Leo almost never takes off his mask in front of other people. Some say that Leo has a very handsome face and is able to attract women, but she doesn't know the truth because she has never seen Leo's face.
Unlike herself and Karen who are still C-rank soldiers, Leo is already a B-rank soldier. So since Dahlia saw Leo's behavior which was not happy because there were no opponents, she activated the detector feature on her tablet to detect the presence of monsters around them.
"It seems like there's an Elite tier monster heading our way."
"Where?!" Leo immediately excited.
Suddenly a shadow appeared, the monster that Dahlia meant was already in front of their car. But that was a mistake, because the monster that intended to ambush them ended up being hit by their car.
"What happened?" Leo asked.
"I think I hit something." Karen reversed their car, making the monster, a small part of its body that had been run over, roar in pain.
"I'll handle it." Realizing that it was the monster that Dahlia meant, Leo immediately got out of the car to face it.
It was an Elite level monster, Demon type, Mutant type. Mutant monsters have the characteristics of an animal-like appearance, with a body shape that is slightly similar to humanoid, have an average height of 2.5 meters, and look cruel.
Each magis soldier is given a set of combat equipment, consisting of a battle suit and weapons. Some get additional armor or additional tools according to their type.
Leo did a little warm-up while waiting for the Mutant to rise. When the Mutant was ready, he immediately activated his battle suit ability.
Leo was a martial artist, so his weapons were hand and foot guards. As soon as his weapon ability was activated, he immediately attacked the Mutant.
When Leo attacked, sparks of lightning and fire would appear with every blow from his attack.
While Leo was fighting, Karen checked the front of the car because she was a little worried about having to compensate. It wasn't their car, but the headquarters car.
Actually, it wasn't them who had to compensate, but their commander, the person in charge of taking care of their team.
After making sure there was no damage, she returned to the car, and watched Leo's fight with Dahlia.
The strength of an Elite-level monster was usually only equal to a C-rank soldier, so Leo should have a chance to defeat the Mutant. Coupled with the previous accident, Leo was sure to win as long as he didn't let his guard down.
As they had expected, Leo managed to finish off the monster in just 1 minute.
Leo then began to dissect the monster's body carelessly, to take the Magis Crystal from inside the monster's body.
Magis Crystals are the core of the power of magis monsters. In addition to containing quite a lot of magis energy, there is a small ability that is likely stored inside.
