It's the year of the Rat for me, and I feel like it's time to make an epic comeback from being stuck in a vortex of procrastination, anxiety, bad perception of time, and to get back at my goals, resisting the temptation of succumbing like many other lab rats. Nothing is going to slow me down, with the Eastern fire inside me about to burn fresh and the Western water as the outlet of my feelings, I'm ready to board the deck and reclaim my willpower.
The successor race, the Torians, residing in a parallel Earth-like world with no clear origin, claiming to be a "sister race" under the Tribunal of Toria, a theocratic cabinet of 15 Overlords ruled by a Goddess, is willing to unite their own planet like the Lucians did. Instead of trying to control their peoples, it will be the other way around by setting them like freed beasts, a highly religious, but anarchic society. Then they will visit the shattered remains of their predecessor's system to restore their 4 ancient relics and prepare a wormhole to counter Lucia's enemies that had unfortunately failed by visiting the real universe. The year is 2237 (2037 on the unknown world), five years since the destruction and near extinction, the Torians, unlike the technological Lucians, relies on ancient Japanese mythological methods in their quest to seal Lucia's final fate and avenge their sister race.
While the near extinct Lucian race won't ever be making a full return to power until well into the mid-23rd century, the Torians will be doing the Lucians a big favor not of direct contact but of psionic meditation taking them three millennia for a response.
Meet the sister race, the Torians.
