TheContradiction

In the face of the impending extinction of the human race, initiatives such as Project Gestalt and Project Snow White were believed by those involved to be the key to humanity's salvation. There were many more like it, all making use of the mysterious energy known as maso along with other elements foreign to their dimension.

Project APEX, or the Augmented Progression of Evolutionary Xenobiology, was a privately funded venture that took a far different approach. Instead of using elements not native to the dimension Earth resided in, researchers attempted to synthesis a human carrying artificial genes derived from native biological material that displayed an innate resistance to maso. Humanity was wiped out long before any could see the result of the experiment but that didn't mean it never bore fruit.

Abruptly awakened from a lifelong slumber with nothing but an AI as company, the young man born from the experiment takes on the name Apex and emerges from an underground lab unsure of what the future holds.

art by...huh, I think the original artist might've taken down their account or the information I have is outdated so I'm not sure how to credit it. I'll just put my trust in the reddit post and say its from a X(twitter) user formerly known as @09_Ziezzzzz. Allegedly.

I see some people put update schedule information here so I'll do the same. My current work contract plus schooling on the side keeps me pretty busy and since this is mostly me dipping my toe into something my friends do, I can't say I'm fully serious or anything like that about writing. I'm think three updates a week at most? That probably pushing it so two is the safe bet. As for the time of these updates, probably near the start of the week since those are my slowest days. Plus this won't be my only story so we'll just have to wait and see how I do. Update schedule currently looking like Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and an extra one over the weekends if powerstone goals are hit.
