Arcadia Protocol: The Pact Below
In the 21st century, magic has ceased to be a myth and has become the force that moves the world. Entire cities rise thanks to mana, corporations trade it like gold, and governments regulate it with an iron fist… or use it to reinforce their own power.
In this new order, not everyone is born equal. Only a portion of humanity can control the basic elements: air, fire, water, earth, light, and darkness. The rest live under the rules of those who can. But they are not alone. Among the streets, clans, and dark markets, another race survives: the Feran, anthropomorphic beings with instinctive magical affinities and powers linked to evolved elements like ice, gravity, and illusion. Their heritage gives them a strength that humans envy… and fear.
This fragile balance is reflected like nowhere else in Nueva Arcadia, a coastal city where glass skyscrapers and neon-drenched neighborhoods coexist with marginalized areas controlled by gangs. Here, magic and technology intertwine in commerce, crime, and politics. Alliances shift with every contract, and the line between legality and betrayal is as thin as a whisper.
Under the city lights, the tension between humans and Feran beats like a heart about to burst. The elite live on private islands and in armored towers, while the rest struggle to survive in a world ruled by power, money… and magic.
