The catastrophe 8? years ago was actually a city-scale ritual to summon the Fallen God by an organisation and every living thing in the city was used as human sacrifices. MC's whole family died in that catastrophe and MC managed to survive (which I'll talk more about it later so I can stay on-topic for now). The organisation members seen there were Distorters.

Here's the irony, The Negative Corridor was created x000 years ago for battling the Fallen God, and can now still be used to fight the Inverse (related to the Fallen God but will be explored more later), yet the people trying to summon the Fallen God were using it. Back to the main point, so anyway, when the MC's family died, he would obviously be having mixed dark emotions, such as grief, hatred, anger, fear of death and the like. With this, he contributed to fueling the Negative Corridor (cause the people who conducted the ritual opened it to use their weapons/abilities) and MC became 'an applicant' for the usage of it unknowingly (though not just anyone and everyone can do so, but MC isn't the special chosen one). And ofcos, if there were any other survivors of that incident, they too could potentially become a distorter unknowingly.

And here's another spoiler, the group that was the direct trigger of the castrophe is actually a subgroup of a faction (not publicly a division/department, but literally a group of people with the same ideology/goals that are working together in the shadows) within the Mage Organisation (which are the good guys).

The Mage Organisation is kinda like the supernatural version of your police/army, except that it doesn't belong to a particular country and spans across the world. So this means that there is actually a traitorous faction within the Law Enforcers of the 'supernatural side', and a rebellion/coup can potentially happen at any point. Not to mention the fact that if higher-ups are involved, the information handed down might be completely fabricated.
