No one believed that could happen. Back in 2014, the world was at peace. At least to some point. But the conflicts between Africa and South America were worse and worse every year. First economical problem after both continents found caves full of diamonds. There were so many of them that Diamond that cost millions now was worth only a thousand dollars.
While Africa had more advanced technology than South America, they had more espers than Africa. In 2050 Africa created a system that could control war machines. Into the conflict was dragged USA, Mexico, Cuba, and Canada as South Africa allies. The same was with Europe and Russia except they joined a coalition with South Africa.
War of the west made Japan start a war against other Asian countries to get resources that they couldn’t buy anymore. Many thermal bombs were used causing the world to burn and suffer. If that wasn’t enough, war machines created by Africa were hacked by esper from South Africa but for some unknown reason esper died and machines turned against every human.
The world population dropped to only one million people. Most of the survivors were teenagers and adults. The world turned into three coalitions controlled by previous schools for espers.
West School located in the USA in Atlanta. Before the war, they had two Serpent Rank espers but now it’s unknown if they survived or if they are allied with West School.
Center School located in Switzerland in Bern. Switzerland was neutral to any side of the conflict but because of the machines, they had to join one of the sides. Currently, Center School has one Serpent Rank esper. There was the other one but he decided to be on his “own” side.
East School located in Korea in Seoul. East School was the first to take control of the whole continent. By supporting allied with Korea Japan, they took control of Asia by force. Known Serpent Rank espers before the war are five.
West and Central school is at war because of previous conflicts by siding with Africa or South America. And there is an East School that wants to control more and more parts of the world.
The world turned upside down just in six years and it might be worse in the next six years.
