You awake from forced brain surgery to find key memory centers of your brain missing. They've been replaced by Nero, your peanut-butter-craving neuro-Hud, that will act as your guide to the universal super highways known as the Rings. If you can survive fiery trench runs, flail-swinging gladiators in intergalactic arenas, and feuding trash moguls, you'll discover that you're a Sage, capable of rewriting the physical laws with your thoughts.

Exploring the quantum space beneath atoms has made most Sages rather... eccentric, but relatively harmless. And yet The Consortium of the Inner Rings has deemed that any man or woman capable of destroying a world with a thought will never be bound by its laws. In the interest of peace and order, they have slated the Sages for extermination. So began The Extinguishing, a universal war whose casualties can be measured in galaxies. You will play a pivotal role in this terrible battle... if you can find out who you are. The Universe is only as vast as our minds can imagine. -- an unnamed Sage.
