In the year 3000 AD, humanity's population reached a limit to where it wasn't able to afford food, land, and a severe scarcity of resources occurred. many major countries like America, China, India, and many more which had an extremely huge mass of peoples before, were first to fall due to this massive increase in population.
All the hope seemed to be lost, there was no other option for humanity to survive its fall, then the "Great reset" befell.
In books and texts, it is described as the day when "star descended", on that day it is said that humans were mysteriously disappeared out of the face of the earth except few who were lucky enough to witness this day and survive.
After the day of great reset, it's also said that humans were again born but they were different from earlier species than them.
What's different? u ask?, if I have to compare both it would be the difference of "Contract".
[Contract]
A strange phenomenon that appeared with 'new' humans, the children born after the great reset seems to a have a birthmark that resembles one of the 12 constellations, not only that, those who were contracted also possess 'powers', powers differed to each other but were similar to whom with same marks, those constellation marks are also known as 'Blessings'.
And also few strange observations were made on the blessing, that a person will have only one 'bless'(blessing mark) in other words, there can only be 1 contract per person, and also every person from 'new' generation have 'bless', but not every person is contract holder in few words, every person is marked in new-gen but all of them have powers.
Now around 99% in the world is from new-gen and the year is 267 GR (PS: GR- it stands for the era after great reset).
and that's all that is being taught to us by our history books.
*-------------------------------------------------------*
I am heading to my room, walking on covered medieval roads and silent neighborhood, with under the beautiful night sky, "it's eerily fascinating" I thought to myself, took out the keys to the flat that I recently bought,
and as soon as I opened the door, I got treated with this suffocating air.
Now that I think about it.
Was it because of the rain that my room felt so moist??.... Is moist the right word for it??
I don't know.
But it felt like the whole room was kind of damp even though it wasn't. I am nearly being able to pay the rent of this room so, I can't afford another now. I sighed and sat down on my chair at the far end of the room, in front of my desk.
Took out pen and paper and decided to beat the deadline this time. Yeah, I am a columnist for a major newspaper. (Launet-times) that's the name of the company.
And my deadline for the article is right in front of my nose.
"Now take a deep breath, slowly and steadily, and THINK!, Think of something to attract people to your article Silver! something new, something fresh that people would love to read and invest there time in!!" I tried to encourage myself.
Oh, guess what, I forgot to introduce myself.
Hi, myself Silver, Silver Starfallen. Yeah I have a twin sister her name is...guess it...yeah you are right, Gold Starfallen and father Marco Starfallen and mother Elina Starfallen who recently passed away due to a freak accident, it has been a year now but still, it feels like yesterday.
Yeah, I miss her a lot, but in her last moments she told me to move forward and to stand strong, She was the strongest woman I ever or will know.
Now moving on, my father Marco Starfallen, recently got elected as the assist. the defense minister of Laurnet Kingdom, even though it's a proud moment for me but I am not that hype or should I say proud of it??, well yes being a minister is an incredible feat on itself but I was never close to my dad to know him well to be proud of him. But also being minister's son carries its privileges and I fully take advantage of them.
By the way, coming back to the topic of the kingdom, I think I should tell you about it.
The kingdom that I live in is kingdom Laurnet also known as the kingdom of the blue sea. There are 4 major kingdoms including mine and few smaller ones usually governed by merchants and few tribes as well. The other 3 major kingdoms are
1) Auran Imperial is also known as the kingdom of clouds and sky.
2) Tungvesatum province is also known as the kingdom of mountains and plains.
3) Vermillion kingdom is also known as the state of the firebird.
each kingdom has it's own rules and ruler as well like kingdom Laurnet is ruled by Queen Furisa Wel Williams Laurnet the 3rd a.k.a Queen Furisa. she is said to be the most influential among all 4 emperors. And also one of the most beautiful women in the world, To be honest, I would like to meet her once in my life.
While I was traveling in my train of thought. I heard a loud knock, no "knock" word would be unappropriated, a loud crash on my door.
I startled out of my chair because of the noise.
"Who could it be?" I looked at the run-down wall clock, " It's past midnight" as I was wondering who it might be, I was cut short b a voice that I least want to hear at this unholy hour.
"SILVER!!!, OPEN THE DOOR, NOW!!" the other person shouted.
I took a breather and headed towards the doorway.
