Alternate Earth

Alternate Earth is the planet of main focus, home to almost 8 billion humanoids. The planet is similar to True Earth, but there are marked differences due to the far reaching effects of the Great Reset.

Differences from Original Earth
One of the most notable differences is the existence of Freaks, who are humans who undergo a one-time permanent Freak transformation into monsters, each having their own unique, distinct features.

In addition, Alternate Earth has Magic, although the vast majority of Humans do not know of its existence as an actual school yet due to its seemingly random mechanics. However, the magic that exists is a very complex subject, and can only be practiced by humans who have greatly in-depth knowledge of the workings of the world and have an in-depth understanding of the Universal Concepts. All magic on Alternate Earth invariably has a scientific explanation and relies on abusing of unintentional faults within the universe that happened during the Great Reset. Freaks are gifted with being able to cast magic that reflects their emotions and history.

On Alternate Earth, everyone is connected to the Universe in various degrees. Anyone who becomes in tune enough with certain Universal Concepts will eventually be able to invoke that universal concept to use magic. For example, Whimpers has been linked to Extreme Emotions. This is a very powerful concept, because she is able to sub-consciously invoke a massive set of random magical abilities that reflect her current mood. For example, if she is frightened, she will use Lightning magic. If she is sad, her magic ends up becoming Ice magic. If she is angry, she begins being able to breathe streams of fire, and erect walls of fire from the ground. If she is feeling love, her magic becomes playful and beneficial to others. This is a classic example of invocations of the Universal Concept of Extreme Emotions.

Origin
When the Original Earth was destroyed during the Total Annihilation of the Original Universe, there was nothing left but empty space, and an emergency magical field sustained by Katie and The ChessMaster. The previous universe was destroyed by a fight between the Seven Bearers of Unlimited Potential, who once were a team of Human scientists who were the first to discover Proto Magic, and advanced it right up to the point that they were able to create several dimensional modifications that unlocked True Magic.
