Cutting-edge tech meets hidden supernatural forces
This near-future Earth merges cutting-edge technology with hidden supernatural forces. Occult societies probe underground vampire covens, psychic networks, ghostly haunts, and those born with magical gifts. These groups operate in secret, evading government agencies, corporate surveillance, and specialized hunters while they study, conceal, and sometimes exploit paranormal phenomena beneath the surface of everyday life.
Holographic cellphones projecting interactive displays are commonplace, and immersive virtual-reality gaming gear blurs the line between the digital and physical. Commercial androids serve in corporate towers and affluent homes, while drones and AI-driven security systems patrol public spaces. The Japanese-American tech powerhouse Nova Corp, led by teenage genius Nova Steele, manufactures advanced electronics and has secretly harnessed a super-heavy element called Novasite to power next-generation AI and compact energy sources.
M-12 is a private investigative agency dedicated to documenting and containing paranormal activity. Its operatives explore abandoned subway tunnels for vampire covens, track werewolf packs in remote forests, map powerful ley lines, and catalogue ghost hotspots. M-12’s mandate is to keep these phenomena hidden from public awareness while leveraging their discoveries for research and covert advantage.
Nova Corp presents itself as a pioneer of holographic communication and virtual entertainment, but behind closed doors its laboratories refine Novasite for military-grade AI cores, android prototypes, and experimental energy weapons.
Will Reeves, a Hollywood star famous for portraying “Jakeward Kent,” a vampire-werewolf-elf hybrid, fuels global fascination with the occult. Blockbuster films, graphic novels, and binge-worthy streaming shows capitalize on paranormal hype, generating myths that both obscure and hint at real hidden worlds.
Vampire covens stalk the catacombs beneath major cities, bound by ancient blood pacts. Werewolf clans gather under lunar cycles in secluded wilderness. Mystic cults perform secret rites in derelict industrial sites. Ghosts linger in historic ruins, and magically-gifted individuals navigate a world that refuses to acknowledge their existence. Hunter factions armed with enchanted weapons and counter-occult technology clash with investigative groups like M-12, creating a shadow war beneath the veneer of modern life.
In this alternate present, every smartphone may conceal a spectral whisper, every corporate lab may harbor arcane experiments, and every corner of the city could hide an occult secret. The boundary between the digital age and the supernatural realm is thinner than ever, and those who pull back the curtain must master both circuits and spells to survive.
