... The world I come from is a place called Earth. It was targeted by powerful beings known as Monarchs a few decades ago, and since then it's been plagued with what we call 'Gates', doorways into other dimensions.
[It feels just a bit surreal to be explaining this to someone for the first time since getting here. This sort of thing is such common knowledge back home that its taught in school's. It's just the world that he'd grown up in. No knock against Kaeya or the people here for not knowing, obviously.]
Monsters live in those dimensions, all of them with one command: Kill humans. So... I'm one of the Hunters who developed special abilities to combat those threats. And now, the Monarchs themselves have started coming to Earth with an army of their own. Shadows can't die or be injured, so the more of them I have the fewer people have to put their lives at risk.
