project re:liberation is a modern fantasy setting that takes place in a world dubbed ‘Helios’. Helios is very much on the surface level, like modern Earth. Skyscrapers tower the sky, cars and fast moving vehicles speed across the roads, a range of environments are spread across the globe. Human population dominates the land and animals live off in the wild, in an attempt to avoid human life. Humans simply go about their lives as always, perhaps with one another and perhaps simply alone. Traversing the streets reveals that not much has changed from Earth to Helios. Well, except for one major difference that is.

[attr="class","prl-smalltxt"]
Ethos energy or simply “ethos” (pronounced “ee-thoes”) is the unique essence within every single soul. Everyone’s ethos is unique and has its own intricate signature. Some are born with this energy amplified more than others, resulting in those with stronger ethotic control. Some are born with a less refined control over their ethos. However, like any skill, there are ways to systematically learn how to use ethos effectively from a teacher. It should be noted though, as ethos is unique to oneself, a person can easily learn to control their ethotic capability.
[break][break]
However, this essence does need time to recharge and has a capacity limit. Over usage of ethos can cause the user's body to completely shut down and enter a coma-like state, and at worst, can even cause death. Certain items can mitigate this capacity limitation and restore ethos, but the best way to do so is to simply rest. With experience, time and practice, one can control ethos to their fullest potential.
[break][break]
In the world of Helios, ethos is used for virtually everything. As ethos is controllable by virtually everyone, it is the most efficient energy source known to the citizens of Helios. From powering electricity, to lightning fires, to creating breezes, to healing, to augmenting a person's ability to even simply creating a simple sculpture, ethos is a versatile energy source that is the fuel for mankind.
[break][/break]
Despite all of this, just like Earth, there is always a dark underbelly under the joyous facade. Ethos, like anything within the hands of mankind, can be uncontrollable, wild and most of all, destructive. While there those that use ethos for evil purposes, there is a much worse occurrence within Helios. They are known as “labyrinths.”

[attr="class","prl-smalltxt"]
There are places in Helios where tremendous amounts of raw ethos which once laid dormant, which have exploded and become active once more. These places corrupt things around it and amplifying their ethos to such extremes that they are now beyond recognisable. Furthermore, this explosion rips open a tear in space and creates and entirely new pocket dimension. These new dimensions are “labyrinths”. While they do not pose an immediate threat, it is best to liberate these dimensions quickly as the ethos flowing out can begin seeping out and corrupt the world even further. To liberate the labyrinth, one must go in and wipe out the source of the ethos, which will stop the ethos energy from flowing into the world and corrupting it. The source is usually located in the deepest part of the labyrinth.
[break][break]
However, labyrinths are filled with monsters, traps and even unknown destructive forces. They are similar to mazes and can cause those who are unlucky to become lost and eventually, become corrupted by the overflowing ethos. For this reason alone, it is best to not to stay in a labyrinth for long. In spite of this, liberating labyrinths can be very rewarding, as they hold treasures. From weapons to armour to ethos enchantments, exploring labyrinths is an investment worth the risk.
[break][break]
The dimensions usually end up becoming twisted versions of the environments around them. An example, a labyrinth taking place near a beach becomes a twisted cavern full of seawater, filled with demonic corrupted sea creatures. A labyrinth near a meadow of flowers becomes a dense forest with sentient trees. In order reach the deepest part of a labyrinth, one must go through the “floors” of the labyrinths. In order to go to another floor, one must find a certain point where the another portal opens. Sometimes, the portals are locked behind some sort of puzzle or requirement, but most of the time, one is simply able to travel through it.
[break][break]
Once one reaches the end of the labyrinth, that person can then wipe out the source of ethos which differs depending on the labyrinth. The most common form is an orb that radiates corrupted ethos. However, it sometimes can be a corrupted, powerful monster and other times it can simply be a chest full of treasures. Simply destroy the source and the labyrinth’s ethos will stabilise and become liberated. Upon stabilisation, the labyrinth will slow begin to crumble and disappear, with alongside with anything in it. Strangely enough, there is usually a dimensional portal nearby that will transport a person to outside the labyrinth, allowing for a quick escape.
