Have you ever heard stories about mythological creatures? Creatures like dragons and unicorns and mermaids? Have you ever stopped to wonder where those stories come from? Yes, every story has a different origin from a different part of the world, but those stories have to come from somewhere. Those creatures were once real, and most people lived happily knowing they existed. But some people felt threatened by the existence of mythological creatures.

These people were hunters, and they would kill for sport, money, food, and many other reasons. You will never find a book about selling unicorn horns, hanging fairy wings as trophies or eating phoenix meat. But that was the way it was, and these merciless hunters killed without any regard for feeling or intention to use a creature's resources, and the numbers of mythological creatures in the world began to dwindle…

Then one day, without warning, all mythological creatures disappeared off the face of the earth. If any were ever found hiding in forests or remote locations, they were slaughtered by hunters. Nobody knows where they all went. People theorize that they were all killed off by hunters, even if it seemed unlikely. Others said they became invisible to protect themselves. And the believers of religious mythical origins believe they all ascended to their gods to escape capture and murder. Whatever the reason, they are gone. Stories passed through generations but proof started to trickle away to nothingness, to the point where stories became legends and myths.

The only thing to persist and survive through the years has been families of hunters, with skills passed down through generations, in case the creatures ever decided they would once again come to live alongside mankind on Earth.

But the "death" of this old world gave birth to a new one. One without creatures from legends, but with inventions and people the likes of which no one had ever seen before. It was the birth of the modern world, the birth of the future.
