The main weapons in the Advent War are Cards and Crystals. A form of new-age weaponry that can be used together with the user's ability. Cards and Crystals were developed by Thomas Howard in the 1930s and it took about a decade to finalize. Research and development first began in 1918 during the First World War. It was a time where humans began experimenting with drugs to gain superhuman or TYPE-2 strength, health and agility. It wasn't long before governments decided to sell these drugs commercially to strengthen their people. Some countries even made it compulsory for these TYPE-2 drugs to be taken.
Within half a century, side effects of the drugs began to show. The drugs proved fatal to many and only the strongest survived. However governments all over the world covered it up by stating that there was a rise in cancers and STDs. By 1945, Allies scientists and researchers began experiments again, this time on Japanese prisoners of war. Headed by Thomas Howard, the Allies managed to make use of the genetic mutation effects to power-up weapons that proved deadly against the Japanese during the Second World War.
In the year 2000, Cards and Crystals were used again. This time against the creatures of hell. They were a serious threat to demons, however they were not powerful enough to defeat the millions of demons who were loyal to Satan. By joining forces with the angels of heaven, humans were on par with demons in battle. Demons began searching for mythical items that would increase their strengths known as Artifacts. While humans carried on research to better their technology.
Thomas Howard however, carried on to become an arms dealer, selling his widely used Cards and Crystals to the highest bidder. Soon even Demons and Angels began using these weapons to increase their already powerful forces. As of now, Thomas Howard is considered one of the richest man on Earth and also the most wanted on any armies' hit list. Though the amount of Cards and Crystals in the market are few, the numbers are growing day by day. They have the power to increase the abilities of humans to be on par with angels and demons. Angels and Demons on the other hand, sought for these treasures to destroy the human race.
