Welcome to the world of Godwork Reactions—a world that once stood on the edge of collapse, but found a way back to balance.
The story begins centuries ago, in the 17th century, when a German scientist named Dr. Gertrud Albrecht made a discovery that changed everything. She found a microorganism unlike any other—Godwork. It existed everywhere: in the air we breathe, the food we eat, even within us. It wasn't alive in the way we understand life, yet it connected to it deeply, capable of triggering extraordinary changes in matter itself. These changes came to be known as reactions.
For a long time, these reactions were rare—miracles that appeared and vanished like sparks of fate. But then someone—history never learned their name—figured out how to force them. That discovery created a new kind of professional: Catalysts, people who could awaken reactions at will.
The world rushed to use them. Nations, corporations, and warlords all wanted control, and soon, chaos followed—wars, massacres, entire cities lost to uncontrolled reactions. Humanity was tearing itself apart.
Then came Zachraya Hemwick. No one knows exactly how he did it, but in just a few days, he united every government under a single promise: order. He took control of all reactions and all law enforcement, forming the World Defense Association (WDA)—an organization that rose above nations and stopped the bloodshed.
Hemwick didn't just want peace. He wanted redemption. From that belief, he created the ACE Project—a program that gave victims of reaction-related crimes a chance to rebuild their lives as protectors.
And that is where our story begins—not in a world broken beyond repair, but in one that's finally learning to live again. A world reshaped by Godwork, balanced between science and faith, order and freedom.
The age of destruction has passed.
Now begins the age of reaction.
