Still Falling BC 500 — Mortal-Angel Pact
Shared ancient history — valid on Present and remembered Pre-Rewind; not erased by the 2009 regression.
Covenant between mortal Awakened coalitions and the Heavenly Realm (Angels) that ended the Age of Extinction and still governs mortal–Angel relations on Earth.

Before BC 500 — Age of Extinction
Also called Void History in human records.
- Demons ran rampant in the Mortal World; humans could not defend themselves.
- Angels did not prioritize human survivability.
BC 500 — The Pact
Signatories:
| Party | Role |
|---|---|
| Awakened Association | Founded at BC 500 to help mortals recover after demon dominance |
| Order of the Silver Cross | Pre-existing Christian order — co-signed because of faith in Angels and God |
| Heavenly Realm (Angels) | Divinity power |
Core terms:
- Angels assist humans in reclaiming the Mortal World from demon dominance.
- Stat suppression — mortals without Divinity fight Angels at ~1% effective stats in hostile or sparring encounters.
- Secrecy covenant — the general public must not learn about Divinity; only approved insider associations may hold that knowledge.
- Divinity reporting — any human with
Divinity ≥ 1must be reported to Heaven.
Stat suppression (pact law)
Pure Humans (Divinity = 0) facing Angel bloodline opponents in hostility or sparring have effective combat stats suppressed to ~1% of actual Str / Agi / Sta / Int / Level contribution.
| Topic | Rule |
|---|---|
| Why high-rank mortals lose to Angels | Gate farming builds Level and stats; the pact caps mortal effectiveness vs Angel bloodline — Combined rank ≠ pact matchup |
| Not suppressed | Divinity ≥ 1 mortals — Human Angel counts as Angel bloodline on the opponent side |
| Trigger | Hostility or sparring only |
Divinity reporting (pact law)
Any human with Divinity must be reported to Heaven; mortal signatories enforce this on Present.
Pact continuity
- Never broken on shared ancient history — remains in force through Present (Jan 2009) after regression.
- Explains general public ignorance of Divinity, Gates, and the Awakened ladder — see Bloodline — Present human era and Gate — Present era.
