Synopsis

Introduction to year 3000

16 January year 3000, It's been 334 years since the world collapsed from the attack of the mythical beast which the news covered as "The attack of the Alpha"

This attack left society in shambles and forced humanity to seek refuge underground after it disappeared.

Well, this scenario seems something straight out of the scripted lines of Godzilla as people would say …

This beast singlehandedly crippled humanity… destroying cities and claiming AT LEAST 3 billion lives, real census was never actually made after that.

The major powers at that time, countries such as the US, UK, Germany, Russia, etc thought they could handle it with nukes.

They got siked when they found the nukes were useless… at least that's what history says about it.

In the end, It mysteriously disappeared but more similar monsters of smaller stature arose instead, and they came in Huge numbers!

These creatures are termed 'spawns'.

The military got lucky finding one dead and was able to weaponize its remains and pushed our technological advancements to the next level where humanity evolved to the point where humans can transform parts of their body to animals/insects and acquire "traits".

These abilities are based on the genetic code present in their DNA strands, thus making bio-weapons.AKA… The survivors of the apocalypse.

In 60 years humanity's technological development has transcended far more than they were once capable of.

Now the remainder of humanity resides in Underground nuclear bunker-like cities called cocoons.

As far as common knowledge goes, There are 7 such bunkers, each having its military base with one general of the army at the top, thus these 7 are the current strongest humans. Our ultimate goal? It is to reclaim the surface we have lost to the spawns.

The cocoons also hold the non-militant population which includes research, agriculture, and humanitarian services which an elected president governs.

The general of the military and the president work together in the overall laws of the cocoon.

The council of generals and presidents makes up the laws that the remaining of humanity follow...

The current most relevant one is the fact that everyone at the age of 18 must enroll in the military.

The military provides us with the gene unlocking system where one can awaken superhuman abilities and transform according to their genetic codes, these abilities are called "traits".

These traits are Two types: an inherent trait, which means it's already present in the DNA, and an Acquired trait, which is Genetic mutation codes that are infused into one body to grant them superhuman abilities.

As per classic human actions, they have graded traits from F to S ranks and the price for these traits increases respectively.

The military offers the basic means to unlock an individual's traits and it has now become a rite of passage to enter the superhuman society of awakeners.

The stronger you get the higher your rank and privilege get, Till you decide to drop out or retire and live a normal life.

Observant individuals would have caught on to the situation, If everyone is awakened then how do they Live in society peacefully?

The dropouts and the retired individuals are placed with Gene suppressors which turn them into normal humans till the time of need calls for them, any superhuman outside the military is considered "rogue"

Anyways, Back to my life, I am Leon Silvius, Age 18 and this is the story of how my pathetic life changed one night when I got scammed by a God.
