Steel your sorrows, Divine Archivist.
Gather your courage, your allies, your Flux Arcana.
Fear not the devouring darkness that lies ahead, but the wavering light within.
For our Eternity is ending. Will you rise for those who have not yet fallen,
Or will you fall to the rise of despair?
The R-39 galaxy was once a paradise, woven from dust and starlight by the Esin – divine sentinels of metal and magic. They constructed sanctuaries where starborn humans thrived, their gilded cities powered by living technology and their Flux Arcana magic, which evolved everything it touched.
But now the Esin are gone, leaving behind technologies that no one knows how to fix. Vital systems fail, the citizens of R-39 are exposed to the wrath of its dying suns, and cosmic horrors stir from their sleep – starving in the starless deep.
The Astral Veil Empire turns a blind eye to it all, casting away warnings of the past and clinging to the remnants of a fading order, but Hael Astraeus remembers. He’s seen the fall of Flux Arcana during the Astaris Phenomena and the savage, greedy wars that tore the galaxy apart after the Esin left. He lost his family, his homeworld, his humanity. Yet, his deepest regret is failing to protect the Esin his ancestors vowed to safeguard: Melantha, the Divine Sentinel of Eternal Night.
When solar storms rip through R-39, spreading panic and civil unrest, Hael and his order of Dread Knights make their move. They steal a fragment of Everlight and journey to the irradiated ruins of Aurora Noctis to resurrect Melantha. In exchange for her unwavering guidance, they swear to avenge her and seek redemption for the starborn humans.
But when colonies are devoured by unseen terrors and the new discoveries of the system’s origins threaten to unravel all hope, citizens of R-39 must prove to Melantha they are worth saving. The choice is inevitable: unite under the last flickers of humanity and evolve, or perish in the cold, cruel darkness of space.

The flux arcana Magic System
More information about the magic system will be added as the story continues.
As it is understood by the citizens of R-39
In the R-39 quaternary system, elemental magic is accessed through a set of genetic mutations that evolved the homo cosmiens over the course of thousands of years. These cellular alterations were the result of prolonged radiation exposure and part of a natural evol phenomenon known as Fluxogenesis.
Only a few dozen Flux Arcana genes have been identified and organized within 3 major categories, which are largely made up of tangible (physical elements that can be seen or touched without magic) and intangible elements (physical and non-physical elements that cannot be touched without magic or even with most types of magic).
- Ethereal - intangible, spiritual, cosmic → the magic of the Esin/Eldren Navigators
- Celestial - terrestrial (tangible, physical elemental) and celestial bodies (moons, planets, suns)
- Void Light - neutral, spiritual, celestial, umbral
All things in the galaxy are bound to the Flow of Flux (also known as the Law of Flux): All matter–tangible and ethereal–churns in a constant state of transformation. Creation > Destruction > Regenesis → these cycles of evolution are necessary to the existence of all. Nothing is stagnate or pure of alterations. To access cellular magic is to follow this Flow of Flux, for magic must always morph and move.
Limitations: magic can spur further genetic mutations, in both the user and those exposed to their Flux Cycling. In order to limit exposure to these forces and their mutations, the Science Divisions on Arboros developed the neural nodes and dampeners–cyberware bioengineered to restrict the flow of magic from cell to expulsion. How restricted a person’s abilities are depends on their training, control of magic ability, biological predisposition, temperament, and rank in society.
Too frequent Flux Cycling can lead to sensory overload, sensory numbness, Chimera Syndrome (developing of inhuman traits), blindness, radiation poisoning (of oneself and others), malnutrition (due to extreme caloric burning and deficit), Flux Stain (permanent phosphorescent tinge on fingertips and around rim of eyes). But too infrequent of Flux Cycling can also have similar devastating effects including sensory numbness or desensitization, frequent fevers/freezes, Flux Sores (where skin has broken down as magic surges and settles) bloody tears, edema of the limbs, radiation poisoning, etc.
Magic must be channeled to some degree on a daily basis, even if it’s just used to mend scrapes or light a candle or . If channeled correctly, the pros outweigh the cons, but if the Flow of Flux is disrupted or impeded, the cons will outweigh the pros.
