Chapter 2 - SOMA

The size of city amazed ohma. Reaching the outpost airship moved towards the checkpoint where there was a scanner. after scanning the airship and verification it was allowed to enter. those who wanted to go out there was only scanning no verification.

after 10 minutes the airship reached its destination.

coming out she led him to reception and registered him. getting his room key and Id card Soma was allowed to rest. the room was just temporary after testing the ranks they will get new.

getting in his room ohma soon fell asleep after pondering for a while.

two hours later his food was delivered to his room the person delivering the food was a normal human so ohma concluded that there were some normal humans in cities for miscellaneous works.

After three hours later ohma was standing in an open chamber which was 1 km wide and of same length. there were eight more people other than him five boys and three girls.

standing before them were three instructors and the one called chowdok was in the middle.

" as many of you already know my name is chowdok and officer sury and Mike are on my left and right" he introduced himself.

"since you kids are from out of cities so government gives you choice to pursue your own future but before that you will be taught basics about how can you use your powers in different training camps and that also contains knowledge about world organisations and trities among them. your camps will be decided according to your ranks which is why we are here."

the chamber contained diffrent sections to test different kind of powers.

" you all will be provided with different environments so that you can be ranked at your full potential."

" first Elaine from Broadok power registered, fire and high temperature section 8"

" second Brock from Samar power, high speed and strength section 13"

" third ohma from lane powers, strength section 18"

it was ohma's turn he was instructed to enter section 18

as he reached section 18 the door opened on his own and ohma entered. he found three more officers standing before him

" I suppose your power is strength" asked one of the officers seemingly bored.

" yes"

" very well you see that thing over there go punch it with your full power"

ohma looked at the structure it was a black object attached to the wall behind. the first part of structure was of rubber like substance but touching it ohma could feel punched by a full grown human it wouldn't even dent.

ohma took his position and took a breath clenched his fist and punched it with his full power.

what happened next shook all three instructors to core the seemingly immovable structure was crushed. its length from 8 meter went to 3 meter. the screen showing the rank and then it started flickering and showed a figure of 7.

" how.. is this possible"muttered one of the instructors.

the highest ranking rookie in the entire city was Mike lakenson from last year rank 5.

and the force with which ohma obliterated the teater was far above that It was rank 7.

suddenly all three of them exchanged looks with each other and the one on right reported something on microphone.

" marvellous young man your rank is 7 which is unprecedented in the history of Soma it will take some time and we will need to consult higher ups for your training arrangement so ..."

BAM

the door was flung open and a man with glasses was followed by a lady entered the section

" and you must be ohma right? " said the man disregarding other three officers

" yes and who might you be sir" asked Soma

" I am the commanding officer of this branch and to be Frank I am thoroughly delighted to see such a good seedling since your ranking is high we will need to consult higher ups to decide about your training centre, will that be alright with you"

" I have no problem with that sir but I do not have much knowledge so will you let me access to the library "

" of course" the man replied cheerfully "officer chowdok please show Mr. OHMA way to his new accomodation and here is my card if you want access to library or other facilities you can have access to them as well you might have to stay here for a while"

ohma did not say anything and just followed the office he asked for permission to library cause he was too ignorant the life in the town was like that you had too little access to knowledge about outside everything from food to technology was brought by magistrate who was the representative of government in towns.

reaching his new accomodation ohma was amazed the room was far bigger than before and it was shining, some of the things he didn't even knew how to access and had to ask the staff and everytime he felt embarrassed of his ignorance after watching some programmes on television he went to sleep everything here was knew to him even the entertainment on television. after a merry sleep of 3 hours he woke up and tiding himself he asked a staff path for library.

the library was a huge structure in itself entering it ohma could feel a diffrent vibe all the sound and distraction was isolated from outside. showing the card from commanding officer he was allowed to access it.

ohma first went for geography section and saw many Books he choice one with title NOVICE . reading preface he was the book was written for those who were from towns and recently awakened their powers.

ohma started reading

the world they lived on was known as TITAN WORLD it was on the name of species who once ruled this world. by the records from old era humanity was only a slave and unimportant tribe at that time but a world wrecking battle lead to the downfall of the whole civilization and extinction of this godly species on the planet.

the continent on which ohma resided was MONERA. there were two continents in total Monera and Rugal. this name existed from ancient times.

the continents were divided in multiple countries and organisations.

the country ohma lives is ruled by a council of warlocks and the president of council is chosen on both strength and majority support by the council members right now the head of council is Bolwak a warlock who surpassed rank 18 and has become a full fledged elemental warlock.

GAIA'S WILLL AWAKENED

a planet is a sentient being with a will of its own and nature to protect its inhabitants from unknown and extinction, it cannot be overcome without the help of a celestial in the ancient times when the will took its shape it's energy alerted several ascended beings which lead to them advancing on the young planet the will was weak and unable to chase them without its destruction which it didn't chose and the intruders also didn't went too far since a celestial wasn't too interested in coming in this desolate region. so the intruders took over the planet and the will started amassing power to overthrow the unwelcome guests but a millenia later everything changed war took place between two ancient beings a Titan and Star beasts

it was a mistery why such strong beings would come to this backward planet but the will seeing the destruction of its denizens made a hard choice sending the two ferocious beings into eternal slumber and entering hibernation itself. Titan were gobsmacked seeing death of their warrior who was one step away from being celestial and was able to fight celestials.a will capable of killing two celestials without self destructing, the fear of unknown crept into them and even celestials did not dare venture of the borders of planet.

year 4058 neuclear war took place shaking the core of planet and disturbing the slumber of GAIA more than half of population went in smoke cause of nuclear war.

with its awakening strange things happened humans awakened with strange powers all the radiation was wiped out the environment was healthy in a single month scientists hadn't seen such development even with the help of technology from excavated ships yet it all happened and it was chaos everywhere.

year 4062

foundation of word government by a treaty between mutants and humans. diffrent rules were made to protect the right of both sides and the technology and change was used for good use since they knew there was a more scarier existence watching over them.

year 4065 a discovery was made that mutant genes being dominant there was 88% possibility of child being a mutant

year 4067 many discoveries were made mutants being used as lab rats and were experimented upon this led to great unrest government used special forces to purge the criminals

year 4079 crime rate started increasing mutants using powers for theft and killing

many humans suddenly got superpowers and many mutants went missing overnight this lead to fear and uneasiness among masses

year 4083

a finding shook the entire world many human council members were involved in illegal and forceful experiment on mutants a normal mutant can easily live 120-130 years while a stronger one could go even further which lead to the greed of many dying people due to old-age.

this was the final strike that broke camels back

year 4085

world government was destroyed many of its members went missing overnight with their families huge explosions took place only mutant leaders were left all pointing fingers at each other and dividing borders braking the treaty making new countries and rules for normal humans. they will be isolated from mutants and it a mutant is born among them than he will be allowed to join new society along with his family. they weren't afraid that mutants have less population cause mutant genes are usually dominant and in some centuries normal humans might go extinct.

and that day mutants were given a new name
