Yuro stirred from unconsciousness, his surroundings unfamiliar. Vague memories of his confrontation with the man named Ryuya flitted through his mind. A sudden, forceful slam into the pavement was the last fragment he could recall before everything went dark.
Now, he found himself in an advanced room unlike any he had seen. Holographic screens floated, and sleek, futuristic devices lined a desk, their purpose beyond his current comprehension. The door—sans any noticeable handle—glided open at his approach, revealing a facility that looked as though it belonged in another era, or perhaps another world.
"You must be Yuro Kubomi," a voice intoned. Turning, Yuro's gaze met a woman with sharp features and piercing eyes. The emblem of 'Ragnarok' was prominently displayed on her lab coat. "I am Nima Patel," she introduced.
After exchanging brief pleasantries, the extensive tour of the Ragnarok facility began. The sights were astounding—a colossal training arena where warriors practiced, manipulating elements and showcasing abilities beyond Yuro's wildest imaginations.
Intrigued by a woman wielding water in intricate patterns and a man deftly bending metal, Yuro posed a question, "Who are they?"
"That's Mirella and Arvid," Nima replied. "Two of Ragnarok's finest, possessing their unique Genous."
Seeing the question in Yuro's eyes, Nima elucidated, "You know a little about Genous, right?"
"Only that it's a sort of...power? That the world discovered some time ago?" Yuro answered hesitantly.
Nima nodded, "That's a start. But there's much more. The Zen Empire, an expansive interstellar dominion, mastered the art of creating Genous. They unearthed powers from the fundamental building blocks of the universe, harnessing these to implant and bestow near-divine abilities upon species within their vast empire. Imagine harnessing the raw energy of a storm or the crushing pressure of the ocean depths—this is the potential that lies with Genous."
The tour continued to a high-tech laboratory where scientists worked diligently, seemingly on the very fabric of reality itself. "This is where we continue the work started by the Zen Empire, developing our unique strains of Genous," Nima shared, her voice filled with pride.
As they walked, Yuro's thoughts raced. He was at the epicenter of a power revolution that spanned galaxies. The mention of the Zen Empire and the creation of Genous opened up a universe of possibilities he had never considered.
"And now, Yuro," Nima's voice grew serious, "we believe you are destined for something grand in this universe of Genous. Something that even the Zen Empire couldn't foresee."
Every corner of the facility, every revelation, was a testament to the immense scale of what lay ahead for him. As the vastness of it all began to sink in, Yuro realized his journey was only just beginning.
