Chapter 1 - The beginning of Eternity

"When will this life end..

As i was lost in the sea of thoughts....I stare blankly outside of the window of our classroom because i have no one to talk to.

I quietly observe my classmates and saw them laughing and enjoying their life to the fullest

They laugh and talk about different kind topics

"Hey hey did you see the live tournament yesterday! Man that was amazing!!

"Yeah specially the Ice Maiden! Her performance during the Battle Royal are amazing...

Two student are chatting in my side as i listen to them silently...

'They look so happy.... must be nice' i sigh...and look away and look outside the window, staring at the distance , trying not to think much about my current situation

The crushing loneliness where there's nothing i can do about my current situation, no friends , no associates, nothing at all.

I turned my gaze towards the window, my mind wandering far from the droning lecture in the background.

The professor's words faded into a distant murmur as I sought refuge in the world beyond the classroom walls. The vibrant cityscape stretched out before me , I remained a silent observer, a ghost in the midst of it all

As the hours ticked by, each passing moment echoing the emptiness within, I watched my classmates depart, their joyful voices fading into the distance. With a sigh, I turned my attention to my phone, seeking solace on it.

"6 pm huh... hmm..." I browse through the internet and saw different forum , video's , news and announcement.

[ —A new SS—Ranked Dungeon has been found in the Southeastern part of Atria!!!]

[ —The Son of the Guild leader of the #Ranked-2 Guild Twilight. Lucas Zephyr successfully conquered the Gate of Trials.....]

[ —Yearly Awakened tournament is about...]

I scrolled through the endless stream of news articles on my smartphone, each one dedicated to the Awakens, those extraordinary beings who had emerged from the depths of humanity, possessing superhuman abilities that set them apart from the ordinary.

With a final weary sigh, I decided to give myself a break from the overwhelming news cycle and seek refuge in a much-needed nap. As I drifted off to sleep, a bitter thought echoed in my mind: 'What a shitty world'

287 years ago two great cataclysms had ravaged Earth painting vivid images of destruction and despair that no humans have ever experienced before. The first calamity are a series of devastating earthquakes, that shattered the past continents, leaving behind the world forever altered.

After eighty years of rebuilding, humanity faced a new threat – the emergence of monstrous creatures from mysterious portals scattered around the globe. These beings are immune to conventional weaponry and almost brought humanity to the brink of extinction.

It was then that the Awakened emerged, individuals possessing the ability to harness mana, a mysterious energy bestowed upon humanity by the portals. With their newfound Abilities , the Awakened turned the tide of the battle, saving humanity from annihilation.

Through the combined efforts of the Awakened and experts, it was then discovered that the portals were all interconnected, providing gateways to diverse worlds. Some of these worlds were desolate remnants of past civilizations, while others teemed with life, but not all of these worlds were hospitable.

Of course, humans established contact with those civilizations, exchanging technologies and information. With the aid of new technologies acquired from different worlds and the newfound energy source known as "mana," humanity flourished once again, and life returned to normalcy.

As the world reshaped itself, new cities sprang from the earth, their gleaming spires piercing the heavens. Clans and guilds flourished, their banners proudly displayed, each vying for influence and power. Amidst this surge of progress, a new chapter unfolded. Empowered by their newfound strength, several formidable clans embarked on a daring quest, traversing different world to establish their own dominion in distant realms.

Despite Humanity's remarkable ascent to greatness, many powerful awakened individuals and humans remain consumed by an insatiable hunger for even greater wealth and power. Their avarice knows no bounds, and with countless undiscovered worlds beckoning across the realm, many awakened souls are willing to peril everything in their relentless pursuit of riches and dominion.

In the wake of this exodus, a transformative shift occurred in the governance of the world. A New system emerged, its tendrils reaching across the globe, fostering an era of unprecedented peace and order. This newfound harmony, forged from the ashes of discord, heralded a brighter dawn for humanity.
