[Apex C-cell structure absorbed]
Lucifer's mind turned black and confusion clouded his mind like a fog. He hadn't even been able to make sense of what he had heard when his body shook abruptly.
A sudden chill overwhelmed him as though he was in a refrigerator.
A violent wave of what seem to be gas, like a concentrated wave of nitrogen gas erupted from the belly, passing through his internal organs and rushing through his blood stream and merging into his tissues, muscles, blood and bones, strengthening and fortifying his muscles.
The amount of the special gas weren't much, but the effect on Lucifer's body was massive as he felt his entire body becoming incredibly itchy, an itch he couldn't scratch.
It wasn't just his flesh, but his muscles, tissues, veins and bones that were itchy.
It was so uncomfortable that youth wished to open up his skin and scratch at his insides. Lucifer frowned at the uncomfortable feeling but persisted
In the blink of an eye, the strange warmth seem to have reached its limit and faded. Along with it was the itchiness which also reduced drastically until he couldn't feel them any longer.
Lucifer clenched his fist and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
His knuckles released popping noises and soreness could be felt all over his body. It was as though his entire body had been hammered repeatedly without a single part untouched. As though he had gone through intense training without stop.
But amidst these, the youth felt newly found strength coursing though his veins. His brows furrowed in disbelief.
Almost not believing it cause it seemed far-fetched. Hurriedly, he closed his eyes and examined his status and what he felt made him speechless.

Within this Primitive continent, there are four tiers of beasts. Savage beasts, Mutant beasts, Fiend beasts and Primeval also known as Apex. The first few not nearly as dangerous as the last!
It was believed that Earth's first evolution occured about 4.5 billions years ago, creating the planet and its inhabitants. A few centuries ago, scientists all over the world predicted amdd studied the earth's second evolution due to the data retrieved from its first evolution.
As predicted, earth underwent its first Evolutionary process but something went wrong during the process.
It was figured that due to the damages the planet had suffered from its inhabitants— humans.
There was not enough resources/energy to help with the completion of its evolution process. Hence, its mutation was stunted and incomplete, leading to a defective evolution and a whole load of complicated issues that changed the world forever.
The evolution showed great result as beasts, wild animals, insects and other living beings including plants evolved rapidly, becoming even more deadly, faster, stronger and fiercer than ever before.
This change was from deep within the body. As long as a beast defeat and devour another beast, it would get even stronger and it's genes even thicker and stronger gaining extraordinary abilities!
Sadly, humans seem to have been left out of the evolution program.
The evolution of earth was supposed to be a good thing but with the incomplete global evolutionary process, the earth could only develop an evolution path for those at the low level of the food chain.
The World suddenly turned into an hellish nightmare for the human race overnight. The world changed so rapidly that it could barely be recognise after the entire event. As a result of the phenomenon, more than half the entire human population was wiped out overnight.
Due to the incomplete evolution process, the earth grew and expanded, places that are previously very dangerous became impossible to survive by normal humans as they seem to be domains leading to dangerous dimensions.
In these newly grown continents, no form of technologies could be used as though a World Wide EMP enveloped the earth. Technology no longer became reliable as it once was.
Domesticated animals grew into terrifying monsters and the already strong wild beast became even stronger, evolving into their most terrifying primal form, growing even stronger day by day by devouring human and beast with weaker strength. Nuclear weapon were released as a last resort, but it was barely enough to keep these monsters at bay.
When all hope seem to be lost, genius Geneticist Williams Ageoye, by mistake or by luck managed to figure out the missing part present in the body of animals but preventing the human body from evolving. With the resources from the government and support of other wealthy families, the Cybergenetic bio-chip was then built.
The purpose of the chip was actually simple, with the assistance of programmable nano cells, it breaks down genetic materials of mutagenic substances and then spread it to the tissue, bones and DNA, thereby strengthening the body in the process.
As for the matter of Genomes installed within the DNA, that will be an explanation for later.
With the assistance of the Cybergenetic bio-chip, humans were finally able to evolve by killing stronger monsters and consuming their flesh.
From the destruction, it was impossible to restore earth back to how it previously was and it took almost half a decade to restore earth back to about one-fifth of how it was during the Freedom Era.
With new continents arriving with unlimited growth for evolution. By killing beasts from these continents and eating their flesh, one could evolve the genes further and even gain gene fragments that could form a whole new DNA structure within the body.
These complete gene structures are called Abilities. Without the help of the chip to assist in evolutionary path, it would be useless even if one consumes the flesh of a Primeval. As though filling a basket up with water, its content will leak through the holes.
After the nuclear warfare, and the discovery of the bio-chip, massacres started to spread throughout the entire world. The order between humans collapsed. The strong eats while the weak gets devoured.
