Infinite Loop

[size=large]Mt Ebott. 210X[/size]

Monsters are still trapped underground even though the barrier that formerly
held them has crumbled away. Instead, a different magic keeps them captive
a spell that sets the underground apart from the surface in a repeating time
loop with no end in sight. A select few monsters managed to escape the
magic due to their direct involvement with the CORE. The handful of monsters
have begun to reach out to the now advanced humans for help freeing their kin
with mixed results. After accidentally causing a human-rights issue on
the surface and feeling they failed in their quest for help, they returned
to the CORE.

Now those on the surface face political turmoil now that they are aware of
the sentient beings that were sealed away over a millennium ago. Some fight
and raise money in an attempt to research and help the monsters while others
want them annihilated for not being human. Most of the population does not care
or does not believe the media about the monsters being a thing, content to think
of it as a giant hoax.

With the monsters becoming known as has a school for those with magical potential.
One that had previously been invite-only has opened their doors and announced
their presence to the world, allowing for families who had never known about
the school to send their children to get a hold of their magical abilities.
This announcement caused even more chaos on the surface and put the school into
question.

Whatever you believe, the monsters are calling out for help.

Will nobody come?
