## Synopsis

[edit]

In an unnamed medieval fantasy-styled world (later referred to as "Sorcerion") humanity attempts to make a last ditch effort against their "natural enemies", a race of oppressive demons. After failing to combat them directly, the sorcerers of the world resort to summoning humans from an alternate timeline, in the hopes that they will be able to save them. However, they soon discover that not only are these humans battling a similarly apocalyptic scenario, but that they and the humans of 11 other timelines all attempted to summon saviors as well, resulting in all the "natural enemies", humans, and worlds of each timeline being brought to the same place. The collective survivors decide to survive through utilizing their varying experiences and technologies, with the main plan being to trick their enemies into fighting each other.
