A handsome-featured boy, long black hair tied in a ponytail that flowed like a river of black ink to his shoulders.
He was sitting on the edge of a tall building in the middle of the city. To be clearer in New York. The building was unknown but it still didn't take away from the beautiful scene of it.
The boy got up from where he was and looked down, a bunch of unknown people, people he has never met and may never meet. The boy seemed to be waiting for something, but then he turned around and walked to the door to go downstairs.
CLANK!
The boy closed the door behind him and continued on his way.
…..
Strong earthquakes invaded every corner of the continents. The continental masses were moving at unimaginable speeds. Hours turned into days and before long the map of the world changed completely.
The Atlantic Ocean completely disappeared, the five continental masses joined and formed the ancient Pangea.
…..
Somewhere in ancient Africa.
A mighty crash rang out as the ground split open in a gigantic crack. From this came a circular construction that spanned several hundred square meters.
Not only in Africa, in London, the United States, Russia, China and many countries of the world different constructions of different sizes and appearances were appearing.
….
Somewhere in Texas...
Several people were separating rubble when suddenly a boy who was a few meters from the rubble raised his hand and several rocks rose. The excited boy saw the rubble and moving his hand many rubble moved.
Soon something seemed to appear in front of another boy and did an abnormal feat like the other. What happened was that..
Awakened supernatural abilities...
A similar scene was happening all over the world. But what they didn't know was that soon something would come after them.
….
The black-haired boy was lying on a large bed while looking at the ceiling, no, he wasn't looking at the ceiling, but looking at something floating in front of him.
An identification floated in the air and on it are written a name.

|POV Jyu|
I went down to the living room to watch the news, since 7 days ago the collapse – as the newscasts called it – ended. But after that several things happened, the first thing was that many people awakened supernatural powers, these people were named Abyss. In addition to that, the abyss have a status or status window that shows information like a game.
Second, many constructions of different shapes appeared in the world, these were called labyrinths. And third and most importantly, monsters have appeared all over the world.
These monsters have not been named yet, but there have been quite a few appearances. It has been declared that in a short time all electrical power, Internet and water systems could stop functioning.
Another thing was that the collapse caused too many landslides, earthquakes and other disasters, these caused almost 20% of the population to decrease. No numbers have been recorded, but it is estimated that at least hundreds of people are dying per day from the monsters.
I really don't care what happens to others, and I don't have to worry either, I was born in a normal marriage, and I grew up in it, but when I was 7 years old my parents died, after that I went to live in an orphanage where I was bullied and mistreated.
I had no brothers, uncles, or any relative who could take me in, so I lived in the orphanage until I was 18 years old, which I turned a month ago. When I left the orphanage I couldn't find a job and when I didn't know what to do, I had a vision, at first I thought it was false.
But after a few minutes I knew it was true, as exactly what I saw happened. After that I had other views into the future, from what I knew after my status will show this one is called 'Laplace'.
Then I had a vision that this catastrophe would happen, but since no one would believe me and knowing about it wouldn't change much, I just waited in a building for it to happen.
After that I looked for a place to sleep, and since many people died, I found this place empty. But like it or not, I couldn't stay in this place forever.
Another thing I learned was that we Abyss have something that they called prana in the news. It's like the magical energy of any Asian game or series, with its cliché plots, that I heard my classmates talk about.
While searching the room, I found nothing interesting, so I went back upstairs.
As for me, I control prana quite well, to the point that I can move things with it. Only doing so depletes my prana quite a bit.
Luckily there seems to be prana in the environment and so it can be recovered, another remarkable thing is that the more you spend and replenish the prana, the more your capacity seems to increase.
Since I use prana, I can say that my amount of it is at least 3 times more than the initial one.
After a while I came to a large and well decorated room. There were no beds in this room. This was furnished as a study, at the end of the room there was a desk.
I walked over to the desk and saw several books. The books had old covers and were a bit thick. This study was filled with shelves of books and white stone figures. Without thinking much, I went through everything and looked for something that caught my attention.
The reality is that I was looking for a book that had something related to prana. I am not so stupid to think that prana now exists. Since we can have something in front of us and not see it until we have it, the blind do not see because they cannot, but those who see do not see because they refuse to see it.
It is the simplest reality. And because I want to know about prana and I'm not satisfied with knowing it, because it's something that I don't even know. It is as if the prana called me but I couldn't hear it.
Walk back to the desk and check the books that were there. One of the books caught my attention and I started reading it. The book was about the various stories of the ancient heroes and Gods – to be more precise Greeks –, the 12 labors of Heracles, the titans and other stories.

I don't know how much time passed but I knew it was hours since the sun had completely hidden. He had almost finished reading the large book. Just when I got up the book fell from my hands and when it hit the ground, a letter came out of the book.
The envelope for the letter was black and thick paper. Picking up the letter, I looked at the seal on it and I could see the red wax seal with the insignia. The insignia consisted of a circle with various patterns between fabrics and a kind of point in the center that joined the threads.
It looked like a dream catcher. I opened the letter carefully not to damage the seal and took out a white piece of paper folded perfectly in three parts, something to subtract from was that there was a kind of circle with designs on it.
I unfolded the letter and to my surprise there was only one line on it.
[The calm]
Creak!
After reading the only two words of the letter, it froze and in my mind a series of words that I could not grasp due to the pain arose one after another.
