Ran Online

 


The Beginning

The Omen began 18 years ago. A terrifying solar eclipse engulfed the skies above Asia. From this gaping darkness, a vicious torrent of meteors hurtled down, leaving a wake of smoldering rubble and scorched earth.
Chaos and paranoia swept over Asia, forcing the rest of the world to quarantine the continent, an island onto itself.
Two years later, from this apocalyptic wreckage, a clandestine organization known only as the Sacred Financial Group ascended to power, shrouded in myth and mystery, brimming with untold wealth and influence.
The Group would found four schools, each one unique in its own way: Sacred Gate, Mystic Peak, Phoenix, and Leonine Campus.
Only the smartest, strongest, fittest students were recruited to these institutions. Yet beneath its quiet façade of learning and academia, an unsettling truth began to surface. These were no ordinary schools. Their infrastructures, rising menacingly above all others, were strange and alien in design, as if echoing an ominous, inescapable fate.
Suspicion grew. Where these sports institutions meant to breed a new generation of genetically-enhanced athletes? Where they military centers meant to recruit and train bio-engineered soldiers?
Soon, rumors began to spread about the alarming activities conducted within the four campuses. Students, they said, were being trained in cryptic, deadly forms of combat beyond the understanding of even the military’s most accomplished intelligence agencies; they were studying forbidden scrolls and texts believed to hold incomprehensible, supernatural power—power to create as well as destroy; and being taught the use of weapons exiled long ago for their genocidal role in the Ancient Wars.
The question was: Why? Why train these students in such brutal arts?
The answer would arrive with startling implications. A dimensional riff some attribute to the meteor storm had opened the gates to a demonic realm, poisoning the living and possessing the dead.
Only the four schools proved immune to this paranormal plague. Force shields were believed to protect the boundaries of the four schools and its students, keeping them safe within the schools’ borders.
The shields, however, were beginning to show signs of weakness. There were reports of creatures infiltrating school grounds and of students being taken almost daily, never to be seen again.
It was only a matter of time…
Leonine in the East was the first of the four to fall; its entire student populace devoured seemingly overnight, the campus left a graveyard of memory.
Of those who have attempted to brave the haunted campus grounds of Leonine since, few have returned, and those that have, spike tremulously of a presence so dark, so evil, it would in time, come to destroy all mankind.
So many questions remain unanswered. What caused the meteor shower? From what dimension did this supernatural evil originate from? How did the Sacred Financial Group know of the storm’s destructive, malevolent power?
Today, everything is calm and peaceful at the three schools, even as they wonder which of them is next.

When will their time come? How long will their shields hold?

For now, the students continue their studies.

Waiting.

Training.

Praying...

The entire structures of the building are designed to block all the outside forces and it looks like a castle that was made for defense purpose.

The Ultimate Awakening




A prophecy was read and it sends shivers down to every student's spine.
Every since the Sacred Financial Group has carried a lot of experiments in the lab,
things have been going uncontrollable now and it even gave birth to a new boss...






Storyline


It all begins when the experiment fails. It was supposed to be safe and successful. Unfortunately, like what a prophet has foreseen, the whole ran campus will be befallen with a whole new problems again.
The news spreads fast, as if the wall has ears. It strikes fear into the all the students for they have no idea what will happen. Indeed, they knew that there is possibility that all this was from the Sacred Financial Group doings, hiding somewhere carrying out some dangerous experiments. What the students didn't know was the experiment that the group was carrying out, was supposed to go well.
Due to some slight mistakes, the experiment has gone off wrong in every single aspects until even the Sacred Financial Group itself could not control and it's cover were blown. The group has quietly packed their bags and moved to other places, leaving dangerous and hideous the monsters by itself, changing from evolutions until one by one as they got stronger, the minions all came out to roam the place.
However, the prophet has also shed a light, that within the campus, there was treasures hidden inside all over it. It was in fact, actually new skill books, refined weapons and armors and maps to make the students be much stronger to fight against the monsters. Happier and motivated, the students began to work together in the mission, which is completed within formations, to help to clear mobs to protect their beloved campus.
Nevertheless, before the big war, the prophet warns the students, do not be too happy as well, for there is one more, much more powerful enemy that lies within that has not awaken yet for them to fight with.
