Urgent news! Another portal was sighted last night in New Orleans! What are they and what do they mean to our planet
And they just kept appearing all over the globe, one day after another

Urgent news! Scientists have finally been able to give us an update on the portals, it seems like they are detecting mass live forms behind the portals, have we finally been able to communicate with other species of the universe? If so, what do they want? And have they come in peace?
A month later the portals finally opened, bringing a massive army of strange creatures, they attacked fiercely, though they didn't seem to possess anything related to technology, in fact the only thing that seemed to fend them off was the inventions and weapons of humans
These creatures only possessed magic
And the great war went on for almost a decade taking many lives of both humans and the aliens,
and in that time, both parties were able to learn more about each other, humans were interested in the magic these aliens had, and so they studied it, trying to figure it out, and the aliens learned the human languages, now even more powerful as time went on
The humans finally cracked the codes of the magic, and they found out that the only way to possess it is to completely let go of the technology, the only thing that kept their defenses against the aliens
And so driven by their own greed for power and arrogance, humans chose magic over technology thinking they can defeat the Aliens at their own craft and that's what lead them towards their lost
Now, almost two centuries later, the earth is controlled by these foreign creatures, they supervise how everything goes on earth that no longer has any signs of technology, but rather magic, they control the population afraid that humans could overthrow them if their numbers grew, so everything 20 years, almost half of the population of earth would be slaughtered
The magic is divided to Five parts:
_Common magic: like being able to conjure objects and artifacts, most people have this type of magic.
_Natural magic: like being able to control plants and their growth, less common but also found everywhere.
_Mild magic: like super strength and super speed anything associated with personal abilities, even less common but not very rare.
_Rare magic: Like being able to control and manipulate a natural element, like fire, light or water etc., this type of magic is super rare, and is almost impossible to find.
_Extreme magic: like shape-shifting, teleportation, and healing, also with anything that involves controlling and or reading minds. Rarely found, most people who have these abilities are feared and respected, their magic is super strong
_ Mythical magic:a magic that's super legendary, almost talked about as a myth
After they lost the war, humans got divided into four groups:
_Normies: people who are mostly possess common types of magic, so they choose to live their lives normally without making much impact on the world.
_Traitors: who choose to help the aliens further in their rampage seeking protection and validation from them, they are the most hated humans, they spend their lives serving the aliens.
_Magicless: these people still believe in the supremacy of technology instead of magic, they still chose to pursue technology.
_Rebels: these people chose to rebel against the control of the aliens, they still believe they can defeat the Aliens, it is a large organization formed by 13 factors against the globe lead by people who are seen as the most powerful in the world, they are on the constant hunt of aliens and they seen as foolish idiots who believe in the impossible.
Also, because all technology and science was abandoned, only the Magicless are literate in this world, no one reads.
