Turning on the phone given to me by the Awakened Union, I was about to search the Web for the information I needed. I hopped into Sobrer, the browser I found on the interface.
"Wait, Does this have WiFi or data?"
I wondered, I hope it does or I am fucked.
I typed what I wanted to type and tapped the enter button.
Thankfully, the browser worked. Maybe it does have some data issued to it by the government.
I tapped into the first link, and…I was now sure of it.
What I read…was exactly what the history in the novel was about.
______________________________________________
1996, November 2nd, Also known as Doomsday was the cursed day that the apocalypse occurred, hundreds of millions of people died, The Earth experienced earthquakes of unseen magnitudes, and the entire shape of the land on Earth changed, Continents became closer to each other, Some far from each other and some just stayed where they were. Thankfully, there was no collusion between continents, or else the casualty rate would have gone into the billions.
The Entire World went into a state of shock as portals appeared, Dimensional gates to other worlds or fragments of worlds that spewed monsters from it. This caused even greater disaster to the already shocked inhabitants of the world, furthermore, the wildlife started mutating. The cause of this was unknown until humans began to mutate themselves. Research done on these mutated humans provided knowledge of another source of energy to Mankind.
Mana!
The dimensional gates that appeared along with monsters also spewed out immense amounts of Mana into the world. This was found to be the cause of mutations, Slowly the mutated humans increased in number and began to fight off the monsters.
When the monsters that a portal spewed out were killed it was found that the portals could be entered and the monster inside of the portals could, albeit rarely, contain Mana cores as a heart!
These Mana cores were packed with energy. A core obtained from a relatively weak monster was found to be able to power a city for a day!
An entire city! Filled with hundreds of thousands…possibly millions of people!
This discovery urged mankind to explore the portals which were later named to be dungeons. Upon this discovery, private organizations called Guilds were founded that served one purpose only and that was to farm these portals. When humanity later reclaimed a large amount of their
land. The Awakened Union was set up by the World Government which was formed because of the demolition of countries because of the First Apocalypse.
Slowly the Situation became stable so humans further began their study into Mana they classified their strengths into different ranks. The biggest boon from the introduction of mana came to the field of biology as miracle elixirs could be produced with herbs containing Mana.
These ELIXIRS, Called potions could strengthen awakened and even regenerate lost limbs!
It was an age of prosperity for humanity until…hell ran on Earth.
February 18, 2010. An enormous black portal appeared in Australia. At first, it raised some concern since it was vast and was a different color from the red and blue portals that appeared before but these concerns were immediately overshadowed by the bright gains that could be earned by monopolizing the huge dungeon.
As Greed took over. Australia separated from the world government and began preparations to wait for the dungeon to open as something was only able to enter the dungeon if it had been opened once before.
However, Calamity struck, The dungeon was a gateway to the abyss. The land of demons and devils! They immediately flowed out like ants and overwhelmed the entire Australian continent in a week.
The world government was immediately alarmed as demons flocked to their shores and attacked every settlement in sight.
Thankfully due to the combined efforts of thousands of awakened, the demons were repelled back to Australia but never back to the abyss..
Humanity could do nothing but watch as an entire continent began to be transformed by Chaos Energy, The signature energy of demons, into a desolate land where only demons could thrive.
______________________________________________
My worst fears had come true as I realized I truly was in the world of The Ultimate sin.
The current year was 2063, two years before the main events of the novel played out as the protagonist entered Shield, The number-one ranked academy in the world…
Because of my Superior Affinity…I have a feeling I will be going to that academy as well, and I don't think there is anything I can do within a year to change it…
I had two years before the start of the novel truly began.
During these years I had to make preparations because the academy was filled with danger according to the plot.
I concluded that by following the government guidelines number and taking combat classes from them to have a better chance at surviving the Academy, they would probably listen as I awakened a high enough affinity that they would certainly want me to be theirs. Hell, they would probably give me special treatment
Thinking things through, I realized that I still hadn't seen my face at all. Knowing that I probably had a different body I opened the camera of my phone and gasped, refusing to believe the sight in front of me…the sight of my very own face.
"Is this even… biologically possible?"
