Let ' s see . Mages will use fallen meteors to connect to the Internet so they can send emojis to people in their dreams , fighters ingest the oilequivalent in order to increase their ki so they can add more power to their spells , illusionists are limited in what they can render by how much processing power their brain can devote to create the illusions , enchanted swords made with advanced carbon engineering are used alongside guns that shoot magic bullets , a sage will issue a vague prophecy that ' s then refined by an AI datamining to figure out what it ' s about . The Internet is partially an emergent property of nomadic movement . The power of love lets people borrow each others ' unique superpowers . A constant onslaught of monsters from an EldritchHorrorthat ' salsoadimension prey on mankind , but it ' s okay because everyone has magic and can unlock superstrength or superspeed or something similar . There ' s no plagues , but there ' s monsters that can possess you . Depression is lethal , with Alzheimersesque effects . It ' s enormously easy to prevent aging , but not as easy to prevent depression . Currencies are individualized , with every person or group making their own and trading them through an overly complex financial process involving constant exchanges on the Net , but everyone has a basic income . Weather is controlled by magic over populated areas , but wild outside them . Items that people have held onto a long time , especially powerful people , grow stronger when used by those specific people . Gender roles are bizarre . About half the female population have animal traits and feed on bodily fluids instead of regular food , with semen being more powerful than blood and blood being more powerful than something like sweat , who tend to imprint on people they feed off of , and who only give birth to similar women . About half the male population is actually bodiless workobsessed ghostrobots who need to be valued in order to bud off similar men . The other half of the male and female populations are just completely normal superdurable ageless people with lethal depression and unique superpowers . Gender is seen as a spectrum , with the expectation being that you ' ll fall in intimate not always romantic or sexual love with someone at the same point in the spectrum as you , and then both of you end up in a relationship with another couple . And that ' s all just one dimension in one time period on one planet .
