Chapter 2 - Life [part 1]

In a small room a teenager could be seen furiously going through his backpack. "It's here it is supposed to be" after a while he found a book,"phewww thankfully i found it, am late for miss Anna's magic class this is going to be a pain in the ass."
He rushes out of their small apartment and kept running through the streets.

Victor is a…well he's poor, not miserably, just poor in the sense that his family can't afford any new flashy property, he could not even pay for a cab due to house problems. He has a single mother taking care of him and his younger sister. For now he is the only one going to a day school while his sister goes to a public Boarding school. Victor is black. He is a good looking 15year old boy with light brown eyes so light you could mistake them for red and a tanned fair skin with short black afro curls.

His late father died when little Tracy was still in the womb. Live without a father was …well long story short…it was like hell, he had to start taking care of the family at a young age.

He was lucky to enter a basic magic School for mages, with the hopes of someday he would get the chance to go to the ALL ACADEMY. Were all children are given a chance to learn and harness their true gifted powers.

The term Gifted are given to people who have extra ordinary abilities or forms. They are the shifters, the mages, the ability users…Well they are the main recognized powerhouses. There are other humans with unique traits all which are called the Gifted, and there are also humans who don't have their magic, but as week as they seem you don't won't to mess with them. They are oftentimes called hollows.

Over the years, a new powerhouse has been formed. They are known as the Void. They are group of humans who found a way to harness their inner energy, an energy called Qi.

Victor happens to be a mage after his baptism in the evolution pool three years ago with no specific element control because he has not gone through the awakening process which he will do once he reaches 16.

Being baptized in the evolution pole determines your path in your evolution journey. Being a shifter or a mage or an ability user solely depends on the baptism and your body composition.

One would need control over an element so as to create a soul weapon some call it the ultimate power, which all gifted develope with time. He has been working hard to see that he takes care of his family. Since his father died fighting off the alien invaders who tried to invade Earth.

Not much was reviewed about the aliens in fact not much was reviewed about the dark ages.

It was only stated that the dark age was the beginning of a new era for humans because that was when they were attacked and invaded by the aliens who wielded powers and strength beyond human imagination they call themselves the slayers.

That was also when the world received a miracle because a spaceship landed and other aliens who called them selves the correctors came to their aid fortunately for humans. This beautiful aliens who walked with Grace and confidence made a truce with humans to earth in fact because by that time humans were not able to be inhabitants of other planets yet.

The slayers are humanlike beings, the only difference are their gaintlike bodies that are almost twelve feet tall. They possess powers and strength that defiles the laws of physics. The slayers though powerful, are beings whoes powers and strength veries from each other.

The slayers bodies determine their strength,
A Slayer with a normal skin has the strength of forty grown men, a copper skin could destroy an airplane with one punch, a bronze is twice as strong, a gold can crush a mountain. Then the last one the strongest of them are the crystal tier slayers their bodies are almost transparent with a bluish tint, you could see their blue vains. They are very dangerous and powerful.

Humans were diminishing with great effect and their was nothing they can do about it, not even grenades or bombs could destroy them. Though to those not wearing anything except a strange armor especially the ones who have normal skin colour, with constant firing and bombing could be killed, but that was it. Copper, bronze and others won't get a scratch. Some don't even wear armor or anything except pants especially the Cristal tier ones who don't have it or they don't need it or they just wanted to show off their glorified bodies no one knew due to their power being that of raw strength.

Plus their ability to absorb energy from life which was Qi but a whole new level of it. A wounded Slayer could get back to full health as long as it wasn't finished off in one hit, by absorbing the life force of plants and animals or other living things. The battle was getting pretty tough because they seem to have no weak points. When the correctors came they used their powers to fight off the slayers. So many elemental powers, abilities and transformations were used on them. That they had no option than to flee after the truce. As a piece of good will the correctors joined hands and created an orb made out of a forgein energy which is latter know as Mana and placed it in the Earth's core as a parting gift.

That's when every thing changed. their was a Mana outbreak and humans stated developing powers and abilities. But as a result of that same out break, animals started mutating into horrible creatures. With the Mana core humans were able to create barriers around their cities to protect them from the creatures. Later on they discoverd that they can Evolve and grow stronger and get more life span by eating the flash of powerful creatures. And that was another breakthrough.

Later with the power of the core, human technology advanced and with the technology teleporters where built for easy transportation there were also flying machineries like cars, starships and others.

Running and thinking of all this though, was Victor as he tried to recall all the details he read from his textbook. "Hmm, that isn't so hard I just pray I make it in time." He sighed and continued running to catch up the next teleporter station. "If I had my own car I wouldn't need to use the teleporter stations" he said to himself as he reached the station which looks like a bus stop just that instead of waiting for the bus to arrive you'll have to wait for the teleporter to transport some certain number of people first. If there is a crowd then you're doomed. Luckily for Victor there were few people this time so he entered a cubicle with few people in it and wrote down a location a bright light flashed and he disappeared into thin air.
