In the year 2000, experts gained an immense amount of advanced technology from an unknown source. Using extracted data from said technology, our own technology flourished in unimaginable amounts. All of the progress was kept behind closed, locked and sealed doors.

Four years later, society was introduced to many outstanding technological advancements. One of the most astonishing and famous break-throughs was an actual dimensional rift. Leading to multiple "realms", these rifts made travel instant and most importantly, painless.

The year is now 2006. Society quickly adjusted to living alongside multiple worlds. In the middle of these rifts, a "crossroads" is founded to assist in trade from the different worlds. This land soon becomes known as, literally, the center of the universe.
