Since the near-beginning of the First Universe, the System has existed. Its existence transformed progression into measurable paths. Techniques, Spells, Constitutions, Realm - It quantified everything, turning them into levels, tiers, skills or talents that could be seen on a simple 'Status' panel. Whenever the Universe stagnated, the System intervened. It expanded and created opportunities for the weak to rise and usurp those who reigned at the top. When the First Universe was no longer big enough to contain its denizens, it increased the size of the Universe itself. When that wasn't enough, it integrated new realities and universes into itself. After the process repeated seven times, refined each time so that the newly integrated could properly rise and stand alongside or against the beings that had existed since the dawn of the System itself. But for the eighth integration, the System's preparations left an opening for something that had existed and been sealed away long before the System itself. The System believed it had found another lost path to add to the eighth integration. It hadn't Sterling spent his entire life knowing that something about him wasn't quite right. People were uncomfortable with his presence, strangers instinctively kept their distance and no one seemed capable of explaining just why they felt that way. Then the System came and brought with it the integration of Sterling's universe into the multiverse. Shoved into the Tutorial, Sterling feels something resonate with him and seek him out. He finds a legacy that shouldn't have existed at all.
