Chapter 4 - Hiding. Waiting. Antagonist.

"This is a story of manipulation, deceit, trust, friendship, and trials. To test the ideals of one man. But to know a story, you must also know its history. The world. It's a single continent called Pangaea Ultima. The supercontinent is of all the continents merged into a single continent. Airplanes have now become a common way of transportation. Cars are basically glorified bicycles and everything is just technologically advanced. Even the countries that were considered poor before are now standing toe to toe with giants. All countries have no border. Wars don't happen anymore. If there is conflict, people just help each other and the issue is practically solved.

But not all things are positive with the formation of Pangaea Ultima. Unlike its primal counterpart, the Original Pangaea, Pangaea Ultima houses people. Overpopulated countries see a surge of people wanting to migrate to other countries, Crime is rampant and Diseases spread like wildfire.

But with the rise of Pangaea Ultima, Something m̶a̶l̶i̶c̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ strange awakened. An entity which cannot be seen. It can bring calamity. Or it can bestow blessings. It just does whatever it wishes. For which reason it sees fit. We call it The A̴̴̡̠̫̘̠͉͕̪̳̘̫̣̮͕̙̭̎̉̂͊̾ͦͣ͆̈́́ͥ́͑̃̕͟//uͭ͑̽ͧ̊ͨ͑ͣ͟҉͕̠̙͙̭̳̥͡͠ // h̶̶̢͈̲̗͚̰̼͍͕͎ͣͥͭ̋̃ͣ͊ͩͯ̌͐ͥ̍ͪ̀ͦ̐̍̿̀͞ͅͅ//. A being which does whatever it can to disrupt the daily lives of people. Some say he lived in the deepest oceans. Hiding. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And now that the rest of the world is far away, it has awoken to make us slaves. Or so do the people say. We don't know where he originated from. Maybe he's just like us. Maybe it's the first human to have a supernatural power. Everyone who has these powers hear a voice in their dream. Make a worthy answer and it rewards them with a power unique to that person. It is a being that we'll never get to see. It controls fate. And most importantly, it's not that F̨҉à͟͜r̶̶̡͠ away from us. We can definitely do something about it. We can eliminate it."
