Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Two hundred centuries have passed since the Earth's ozone layer diminished completely. And at the very same time it disappeared, made the Earth's climate more unstable than ever. Chaos. Pure chaos was what happened for 10 years. All entities that were hidden from humans were released for everyone to see and fear. The creatures that were once a figment of imagination being uttered only to scare little kids into submission materialized and took a hold of the earth swiftly.

Everything was reset to what it used to before the golden age of human technology.

No tall-ass buildings, no industrial jungle, and all nature can be seen everywhere. The current technology available is only found in some areas. It is more advanced and sure to blend with nature, mixing with it and never destroying it unlike what the past human technology did. This knowledge is being controlled by Four, the World Council composed of four races: The Nocturnes, the Elementals, the Shifters, and the Deus.

Because of the climate extremes and unfiltered radiation from the sun, many humans evolved as well. Their cells rapidly changed, especially as it made contact with hyperactive elements. However, there were still humans that remained as they are, a basic form of life, a race incapable of using the energies at will. The Nullis, the only race that is ousted in the 4 Order a century back when "peace" settled in.

There were two main strong bloodlines that retained their humanity, one was the Romanovs of the East, from the previous Russia that is now governed by Nocturnes and the Williams of the West, from previous America, that is now dominated by Shifters. Both bloodlines have very strong resistance to evolution thus making both the leader and representative of the Nullis faction.

However, given that the faction was not included in the Four and is seen as mere food, a conflict arose between the families and the Romanovs vanished, leaving the Williams as the only The Nullis representative for the council, for why and how no one knows. Rumors say that they went into hiding and is just waiting for the right time to rise up again. Others say they died and it is the end of it.

The Nullis technically co-exist with the other races and breeds, but they are still considered the lowest of the low and reduced to live a life for death. Farm animals being raised to die the next day like how they do with pigs and chickens in the past. A big chunk of them are under a guardianship of the Elves who are the head of the Four, they do not eat human meat you see nor drink their blood, because they do not want to be tainted by these filthy creatures but they are prized highly in the market. Struggling to live and mostly enslaved with the rest who can wield energy, so the Nullis faction one by one lost hope.

All information from the previous earth was destroyed or hidden not long after the disappearance of the ozone layer because...

"Where is it?" footsteps are running all around the area making all the all Nullis present shaking in fear.

The small Nullis town in an island just near the Pacific Ocean that is now 1/3 of its original size went into a lockdown by the Shifter Faction a few days back since the discovery of the library. The library was well-hidden and no one in town knows it at all. Created by a rich person in hiding from the world, in that place there were documents that were stored that are quite rare.

"Since we can't find it, better to destroy this whole damn thing!" the head Shifter of the island spoke as he turned his head to the people he is breeding.

"What is happening in this island?" a mother asked shivering in fear hugging her son in the basement of their houses praying for safety. Before the lock-down, only one team per day would patrol the town but now, it tripled. There were rumors about a child in their town who broke in their security two days ago. A handful people who knew its identity were hiding that the child from their clutches. That child is a prodigy, just like the child's ancestors were, pride of the Nullis if only they knew what that child can do.

A lot of growling can be heard nearby from the shifters that is now controlling the whole island and all of the townspeople know that wherever or however they try hide, they can still be scented by them. And after a few hours, the whole island was blown away into pieces leaving no one behind.
