Lucem
Ten Thousand Club
Since their creation, Humans have always been the dominant force on Earth. With their vast intelligence and overwhelming potential, it seemed as if nothing could ever come close to them or the progress they've made. However, lurking in the hidden corners of the world, something else existed. In the shadows and beneath the seas, there existed extraordinary beings that had filled children's bed time stories and plagued the nightmares of others, their presence on the world thought to be fictional and mere myths from folktales. To the Humans that both feared and denied their existence, these beings were known simply as Monsters.
While Monsters had been hidden for years and kept their lives a secret from the Humans that filled the world, not all were content with the situation. There were those that preferred a life of secrecy, but most of their kind sought greener pastures. With two conflicting opinions about what should be done, arguments ensued for an extended period of time, When both cases had been pleaded, a decision had been made regarding their way of life. They would put an end to their lives of hiding and reveal themselves to the world in hopes that they could live among the Humans freely and without prejudice.
On October 3, 2003, Monsters jointly revealed themselves to the world. At first, they did not know what to expect. For years they had seen how Humans reacted to each other, often in an unpleasant manner, and that was against their own kind. It was a large gamble to show themselves and there was a worry that the attempt at unity would end in failure. However, it would seem that they would, for the most part, have worried for nothing.
Contrary to what they had initially believed, the majority of Humans were willing to acknowledge their existence. In the beginning, there was fear and uncertainty, but upon learning more about the Monsters, they came to accept them. Like Humans, there were Monsters that were good and those that were bad, unlike how they had been portrayed as vicious creatures of the night in works of fiction.
In the time that followed the reveal of Monsters to the world, a conference would be held by the United Nations to make the newfound peace official. A treaty would be made between both Monsters and Humans to ensure their relationship would remain a positive one. This would be achieved by creating a place where the young Monsters of the world, regardless of species, would come together in order to learn how to associate with Humans, as young people were sensitive to the recent changes and would require help. When they would complete their education they would be integrated with Human society and leave the place they would have learned for four years. This place would be known as Ishika High School, or to the Human population, The High School of a Thousand Terrors.
[First Class]
In the first Autumn following the construction of Ishika High, the first school season would commence. Hundreds of Monsters from around the globe, whether beneath the seas or in the deserts of Egypt, would come here and begin their education. Regardless of their reasons for attending, the goal that was desired for them was the same for all. For a minimum of four years, these students would learn in the hopes of being able to become a productive member of society and live out a happy life in this new, unified world.
In the beginning of the year, there were many bumps when it came to the students. Never having been in such a strange environment, progression was limited. In some way or another, each student held a sort of awkwardness. There were those that couldn't utter a single word and there were others that had personalities that bordered on insanity. It was a troublesome period, but it was expected to some degree, as this was the very first year.
As time went by, things began to look up. For most, the initial awkward period had passed somewhat and the interactions had gone much smoother compared to the beginning. Friendships were formed and classes had been going well for the most part. Students were able to discover their hidden talents as they studied the usual curriculum found in Human schools, as well as activities that were able to broaden their horizons. However, while things had improved around Ishika High, issues still arose.
As students became less reserved and more outspoken, conflicts between each other would surface. There had been several fights throughout the year and despite the faculty's efforts to contain them, the friction would remain in the aftermath. Despite these unfortunate happenings, nobody was ever truly injured and the positive changes were able to shine through. Students continued to do well amongst the chaos and major incidents had been avoided. However, an unfortunate event would rear its ugly head.
Within the coming weeks, the usual chipper atmosphere had been tainted after the attempted murder of one of the school's students. The assailant was unknown and the motive was shrouded in mystery. In addition to the damage to the student, the incident posed a threat to the school itself. If news of the event were to leak to the public, it was likely that the Ishika High would be shut down and destroy everything that the school had worked for up until that point. However, such a disaster was able to be avoided due to unusual circumstances.
Somehow, no student or faculty member was aware that the attack had occurred and nothing was reported. The very student involved had disappeared altogether and hardly anyone took notice of their sudden vanishing. Nothing would be known until a few months later when the school would be covered in a veil of snow for its first Winter.
Months into Ishika's first year, things had improved dramatically. Students were not only doing well in classes, they were doing well with each other. Being in close proximity for several months had allowed them to form closer bonds and everyone was able to understand one another to some degree. News of the school's success spread far and wide, creating an influx of students. Amongst the new faces, the previous student from the attack so many months ago had made a reappearance and was able to inform the faculty of the incident that had occurred.
With several new students and achieving success by helping them grow, Ishika received a glowing reputation and garnered increased attention from the public. While there would be constant events in the school that were at the peak of ridiculousness, things couldn't have been better. The grand dream was becoming a reality and would soon have even more reason to celebrate. After four long years of hard work and dedication, the very first class would graduate and venture out into the world, on the path to a greater life.
[Graduates]
It had been years since the first batch of students had made their way into the world and began their adult lives. Some had gone on to be a great success and some had even managed to start families. Of course, there were those that had suffered great hardships from when they were still in school, but they managed to live on and continue on the path that they had worked so hard to get to. For the most part, things had been well over the years. However, beyond the previous students, the world itself was suffering from larger issues.
Over the years, anti-Monster sentiment had risen amongst Humans. There had been large protests against the current integrated society and numbers had increased compared to when these feelings were expressed by a less vocal minority. What caused the sudden spark of outcries against living with Monsters was unknown, but the current social issues certainly posed a threat to the peace that they had been trying to achieve for so many years.
Amongst the protestors, the most influential were those that worked for the large corporation known as Opess. The company had a stock in almost every industry imaginable and held a large amount of power, preventing them from being held accountable for their actions. While their protests were peaceful for the most part, the group itself was shady, especially its boss. Mundus Stilio was a young man that had an interest in keeping Humans safe, which drew people in. Besides being overly cheery and childish, he didn't seem very strange or cruel. However, there was always something suspicious about him.
In an attempt to keep their spirits high during these troubling times and raise the morale of those that worried about what was to come, Ishika High organized its first reunion for the first graduates to come out of the school. The idea seemed to prove effective, bringing together old friends that hadn't spoken to each other in years and allowing them to catch up on their lives. The event appeared to accomplish the goal of distracting others from the problems that plagued their minds and they were able to return to their daily lives free of worry. This period would be short lived, as strange occurrences began to pop up throughout the world.
The first event to take place would be a sudden earthquake that stretched across the world. While the tremors didn't necessarily cause large amounts of damage, the fact that it happened at the same time for everyone and that it lasted for a very brief time was strange. While this was odd enough, something else had occurred at the same time, or rather, this had been the exact cause. Unbeknownst to everyone, something had arrived. More specifically, someone had been brought to this world.
While this newcomer would remain silent for a time, a tragedy would strike. For several weeks, reports of murders involving the staff of Ishika High School would spread like wildfire. Nothing was known about the incidents aside from the identity of the victims. Being left in the dark about such frightening events created a panic and the situation quickly began to spiral out of control. Allegations against those that protested against Monsters began to spread, creating increased conflict with Humans. This would continue to escalate passed simple arguments and into violence.
Humans soon to began to riot when the deaths of several of their own kind were reported. Naturally, the blame shifted towards Monsters and things grew even more heated. The Opess corporation began to demand that these creatures be dealt with in order to keep Humans safe. With a seemingly noble cause and a large demographic, another conference organized by the United Nations would be held to discuss the possibility of war with Monsters, a contrast to the last one that was held to bring peace. It seemed as though there was little hope for the world, but in this time of darkness, a shining beacon hope would appear in the form of those that had grown as a result of the dream of peace. The graduates of Ishika High would have the opportunity to make things right with the help of the one who had been brought to this world.
Coming into contact with the graduates. the mysterious stranger revealed to them that he came from another universe entirely. Where he came from, Ishika failed in its early stages and the peace between Monsters and Humans was fragile. It wasn't long before the two engaged in what came to be known as World War III. In the war, both sides had suffered heavy casualties, neither able to be considered a winner. Civilization as they knew it had been destroyed and fallen under the influence of a new dictator who had caused the world's apocalyptic state. The one responsible was Mundus.
Mundus Stilio was a persona that had been created in order to live amongst the Humans and spread his influence of chaos. In actuality, Mundus was a Monster himself, but nothing like anything that had ever been encountered before. Before creating the Human Mundus, he lived as Jormungand, also known as the World Serpent. Since the beginning of time, Jormungand had served as the one that watched over Earth and saw to it that things remained stable. Cursed with immortality and the burden of watching over time for all eternity, he freed himself after ages and sought to break the never-ending blandness of life. Nothing ever changed and he sought to change the cycle. As Mundus, he would make an attempt to create discord, but without a physical form where he could interact freely with the world, he would be unable to fully manipulate the world that he had been a slave to. For this, he would need a suitable vessel.
The man had went on to explain that with Mundus' position as the World Snake, he held power over time and space, allowing him to communicate with alternate versions of himself throughout what was known as the multiverse. Throughout several universes, there had only been one that came close to achieving that goal, the one where this man came from. With the knowledge obtained from his alternate self, this world's version set out to steal the vessel for himself, taking the victory away from anyone else and destroying that world in the process. This man was that vessel, a Monster that was compatible enough with Mundus to provide him with a physical form. With his world gone, he was now here.
With the knowledge they had obtained, the graduates set out to stop Mundus in an attempt to save their world from meeting the same fate. The task would by no means be simple, but they had faith that they would prevail. On the final day of the year, the battle had begun.
Their attempt to stop Mundus, as expected, was tough, but more so than expected. His influence had spread to many and the obstacles in their way never ceased. Succumbing to exhaustion, they would fail and fall into the hands of the one they had come to defeat.
With the graduates defeated and Mundus fully intent on eliminating what were now broken toys, their deaths seemed imminent. However, as their time on Earth was about to come to a close, they had been saved, but at a cost. The one from another world had sacrificed himself in order to prevent the others from falling. He had no regrets as he died, glad that his death was able to give this world a chance.
With his vessel now dead, Mundus became enraged at the fact that his plans were now foiled. Gathering all the power he had at his disposal, he obtained a physical form for a brief moment in an attempt to destroy the ones that had gotten in the way of him achieving what he had dreamed of for so long. However, his attempt would yield no results, as the graduates took advantage of his physical state and succeeded in slaying the threat to their world.
After Mundus' defeat, the conflicts between Monsters and Humans had been brought to an end, the war avoided. In order to celebrate the victory that had been achieved and to create a symbol of peace, Ishika High School was rebuilt after having been destroyed. The future was bright once more and peace had finally become a reality.
[New Beginnings]
In a new world, Ishika High School has just been opened and is intent on making it's first year a success. With Autumn approaching, students will soon arrive and take their first steps on a path to knowledge and understanding. If all goes well, those that graduate will integrate with society without issue and make a good name for the school, increasing the opportunities it can provide.
While things are looking bright for Ishika, the rest of the world is dealing with matters of its own at the moment. Unusal events are occurring in every corner of the Earth, including unusual weather patterns, animal migration, and natural disasters. While nothing too destructive has taken place, the occurrences are highly irregular and no explanation is available as to why they are happening.
As the High School of a Thousand Terrors opens its doors, will these events be something that can be ignored or are they a sign of something to come?

As the season shifts into Autumn, it had been one year since the signing of the treaty that brought together Monsters and Humans. The results of said treaty would be seen today, as the school designed for the youth of the newly unified world finally opens its doors for the first time. As soon as they reach the adolescent stages of their species they will brought here in order to be educated to the finest degree so that they may properly assimilate with human society.
Still early in the day, sun barely having risen beyond the horizon, several students walk down the stone path that leads to the double doors of the behemoth of a building. Some are enthusiastic about the journey they have just started, but just as many are hesitant and uncomfortable with the new setting. Those that fall under the latter category have resigned themselves to resting near the vast amount of trees that cast a shadow with their large size.
Despite the amount of students that fill the courtyard, the area is relatively quiet. With the exception of the rustling flora caused by the sudden breeze and the sound of feet connecting with hard stone, all is silent. The current atmosphere was more or less expected, given that such a setting was new to everyone, but it would hopefully improve with time.
The silence was interrupted by the sound of three consecutive rings heard over the school's PA system that stretched itself throughout its entirety. The bells were followed by a low, gruff voice, echoing its message to the student body. "As of right now, all students and faculty have thirty minutes to report to the assembly hall for orientation. Do not be late, or you will suffer the consequences." The chilling voice was abruptly cut off by a light click from the speakers, a few students now rising from their still positions, not wanting to know what these "consequences" would be.
As the first crowd began to move through the glass doors leading into the main hall, the first school year was now underway. Welcome to Ishika High, under the moniker of the Highschool of a Thousand Terrors. Enjoy your stay and try not to die.
