After the announcement ended, the whole world was plunged into chaos. Many people thought that some Intelligent Alien races were going to invade their planet. Others thought that this time there might be a change in this world after all.
Many World Leaders, who decided to separate themselves from chaos and destruction, became stupefied.
Some Alien Race is coming to claim their world?
Are they going to lose the power, authority, and prosperity over all people just like that?
Previously they thought that the whole world would become a wasteland after the asteroids landed. But now, they understood, these were not some asteroids or natural disasters. Some other race or beings from a higher, more developed world came to their world to take control of it and they were deciding everything, leaving nothing to decide for the previous World Powers.
How could they watch this show silently from the sidelines?
They needed to save Mankind from this foreign invading alien race and also restore their power and position in this world once again.
Soon after the Announcement from the "Towers Of Heaven" ended, the World Leaders jointly declared on different platforms that these Alien Races were nothing but invaders to their world. If they remain unchecked after their descent, they will take over their world and might destroy it too. So, every person must be willing to fight these invading alien races to the bitter end.
Armies from various countries were mobilized.
Despite the announcement and warnings, armed forces from various countries bombarded the incoming asteroids or Alien spaceships with whatever they had.
But, still, nothing happened. The Towers were still in motion, just like before.
And, discarding every previous calculation made by different Scientists, Engineers, and others, "Towers Of Heaven" finally descended on Solaris Planet just within five hours.
One after another asteroids crashed into different countries, huge-sized Towers almost touching the Heavens erupted from those crash-landed asteroids. Large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis raged the whole world. Every person in the world felt the situation was out of their control and they could only pray for their swift death as the doom of apocalypse approached them certainly. People started fighting for their survival, and many small to large-scale fights broke out, the remaining world armies still bombarded the huge towers with tanks, missiles, and other weapons capable of large-scale destruction.
The Towers Of Heaven didn't sit idle in this situation.
Large-scale Golden-White Beams erupted from Towers and descended on the various approaching armies, instantly vaporizing them.
This situation startled the armed forces, world leaders as well as the normal people who were watching everything happening from the sidelines.
No one believed that these Towers would have that much strong deterrent force.
While people hesitated, the Towers didn't stop their assault at all.
A barrage of Golden-White Beams destroyed almost everything in their path. Ground cracked, small ponds and rivers became dry as they suffered tremendous heat coming from the white beams descending upon them wantonly.
Hundreds of thousands died while trying to destroy those Towers.
Fear gripped peoples' hearts.
They finally understood how advanced the Alien race was.
They were not here just to invade, take resources, and leave.
They were here to dominate, take every probable resource, and rule over all species in the world.
Those Towers were invincible. Nothing could destroy them.
People began to despair. They thought their end was truly near. Probably a few more hours, either they will die suffering from the ongoing natural disasters or these alien races will destroy them for sure.
As people began to struggle for their survival, the whole world became a chaotic mess just within a few hours.
-------------------------------------
When almost everyone thought that this was the end, something happened.
Some people who were more sensitive than others, felt the change much more compared to others.
They felt a sudden increase of Vitality in everything around them.
Many scientists and researchers also noticed this important fact while examining their surrounding nature.
While no one understood what was happening, they felt more rational, calm minded than others even in this apocalyptic situation.
After some time, many people understood what was happening around them.
Life Force.
Somehow, a large amount of life force is in nature, even the trees were affected by it.
They saw the changes and transformations of various plants, and of even forests.
Forests were rapidly transforming in front of them.
Many trees suddenly became huge, it almost looked like someone injected a huge amount of plant hormone in them, and made them grow taller than any tree they had previously seen.
Forget the trees, many people suddenly understood that their bodies were undergoing massive transformations. Some people even felt that their bodies were still transforming, becoming much more tough, and powerful over each passing second.
Various Martial art masters and body trainers also felt the change in their bodies.
The most profound change was felt by many people in the armed forces.
Many of them were already battle-hardened veterans, so they easily discerned the abrupt changes in their bodies.
They were much more powerful than before, having robust physiques and strong mental strength.
They finally understood that they had evolved from ordinary human beings.
At this time, many of them suddenly remembered the announcements from the "Tower Of Heaven" before.
[Mana and Magic will be introduced into your world]
Is this the effects of mana?
Everyone asked themselves, also to the people near them.
They were surprised, speechless at their transformation.
They felt powerful. Some of them even thought that they could now fight over several dozen people in hand-to-hand combat properly.
This was an amazing change. Nothing could compared to it.
But at that time, they felt shocked again.
As many people heard a sound, almost similar to the previous mechanical voice announcement in their head.
[Personal System Prompt : Yes, this is the one of the effects of Mana. Mana is currently being introduced into Planet #45HBP]
People became speechless after hearing the voice.
Personal System Prompt?
What is that?
Many became confused, but the smart people already came to a proper conclusion.
Once again, they remembered one of the previous announcements from the "Towers Of Heaven".
It clearly announced that [Personal Rankings and Preferences will be introduced into your world].
This means, now everyone could have one personal assistant to help them understand what is happening in their world right now.
People asked questions in their minds. and of course, they got their answers one by one.
[Mana is the basic feature and also the primary building block of a Higher Tier World/Planet. Planet #45HBP (Native Name : Solaris) is a Lower Tier-3 Planet, which is currently the lowest ranked Planet under the supervision of "Towers Of Heaven" and "Inheritor $45"]
[Mana can make the human body stronger, more powerful, and more robust than before. Some people, from an ancient lineage and having powerful heritages left behind by their predecessors, might have the chance to unlock a powerful bloodline that will separate them from the rest of the human race]
[As for other effects of Mana in your world, the world will transform. It will have a stable green ecosystem. Mana will repair the irreversible damages caused to Nature by previous human inventions, expeditions, and wars. Planet #45HBP will recover itself from its collapsing state, and more life force and vital force will enrich the planet further. Energy Veins and Mana Veins will born on the planet to supply the constant Mana into the atmosphere. Planet #45HBP will evolve continuously after the introduction of Mana in the world. This is the beginning of 1st Stage Evolution. After the 1st Stage of Evolution ends, the ongoing Natural Disasters will end].
After learning this much information, people started to deduce the most important points.
First of all, these natural disasters were temporary. As their current world was evolving after the Mana injection, these disasters were happening as a by-product. Moreover, their damaged world and atmosphere were recovering. Even they could easily feel the changes happening in their surrounding world, and environments. It was nothing but a blessing for all.
At the same time, Mana will improve peoples' physique, they will become more powerful and some people will even have the chance to unlock their bloodline, which will grant them far more power than the others.
And along with everything, every person in the world now has a personal System to assist them in this apocalyptic world, it will also help them become stronger ever than before.
How could not they become happy now?
Everyone can become powerful depending upon their hard work. There is no need for any World Leaders anymore.
Moreover, after asking their system about their planet, people understood they were nothing but cannon fodders to the other races in the Universe.
Their world Solaris was nothing but a damaged Lower Tier-3 Planet, depending upon some minor and major technological advantages.
But, in reality, their planet would never be able to prevent an invasion from a Middle Tier World or a Higher Tier World.
And as for the Supreme Tier Worlds, where the actual Gods reside, they would never come to a backwater planet like Solaris, much to lay a claim on it and nurture it further.
Towers Of Heaven was the current best opportunity for people, not only to develop themselves but also to develop their native planet into a powerhouse in the Universe.
----------------------------------------------
However, most of the people were shocked when they saw their own Status Profile. They saw a faint glass-like screen in front of them, they could touch it, and manipulate the numbers and data present in them. They could also change their different Basic Attributes to some extent, Like Strength, Agility, Stamina, and so on.
Every time they changed some of their Attributes, they could feel that a wave of pulsing energy, which was nothing but mana running through their bodies, making the change more apparent.
They even saw their own Levels, which signified how much powerful currently they were.
People became ecstatic.
Now, they could also become Super-humans which were only seen in movies and novels before.
They can become stronger, agile, and powerful.
Many people openly and also silently thanked the "Towers Of Heaven" for giving them a chance to prove themselves in this new world.
People felt gratitude.
Also many felt envious of others too.
Not everyone's Basic Status or Attributes were the same. It was different for each person depending upon their physique, mind, and also their previous professions.
Armed professionals, people from different paramilitary forces, police forces, and Martial arts masters felt they were considerably more stronger than anyone else.
As their strength soared, they became ecstatic.
Amid joy, several people who were both smart and also pretty confident about their newfound strength, already found that just like the environment, forests, and people, animals and wild animals would be evolved too.
These animals would become more powerful through their evolution, and many of them would become mutated, as their body had very low mana capacity.
As these wild animals couldn't control the excess mana seeping into their bodies from the surrounding environment, they would be turned into mindless beasts.
People would need to protect themselves from these mindless beasts by fighting and killing them.
And as long as people killed them, they could Level Up by absorbing the remaining abundant amount of mana from their bodies, just like a game character levels up after killing a monster.
Many people understood that they needed to test their newfound strength as well as to maintain their powerful appearance before others, they certainly needed to kill as many wild beasts as possible and level up.
People also learned how to use their System prompts, how to use Inventory space to store different materials and items, and also how to use Basic Swords, Shields, and Bows like the primitive warriors.
At first, many people wondered how could a sword be more powerful than a semi-automatic or automatic rifle or even a machine gun. But soon they understood the powerful side effects of Mana in their body.
Bullets can't properly penetrate their skins, in most cases, it would only leave a bleeding cut.
And that was it. That's what a powerful bullet could do to a person who had already awakened his/her Basic Mana Body.
People rushed to kill many charging wild beasts towards Human towns and cities with swords and shields in their hands, they killed madly and also leveled up simultaneously in the coming days after the Descent.
Also, many people became injured, and many died too under the sharp claws and talons of those mindless beasts.
After Mana Awakening, many doctors as well as nurses and other medical professionals willingly choose to learn the secrets of different Healing Classes.
People started to choose their classes, jobs, and all kinds of professions, ranging from Blacksmiths to Warriors, from Healers to Assassins.
The world changed suddenly and abruptly.
Many people welcomed that change and adapted themselves to the ongoing flow.
Many people choose to resist sternly and later got wiped out of existence by some powerful beasts, battle maniacs, or even people who thought that they were nothing but a burden in this new society where the Strong rules and the Weak follows obediently.
Overall, people from all over the planet thwarted their governments, became stronger, established different powerful Guilds and communities, and oppressed the weak strongly.
Many people even thought of establishing a Powerful Kingdom even an Empire in the following days.
Various small-scale Wars started just after 2-3 years of Descent.
Soon, these small-scale wars were replaced by Large-scale Guild wars and wars between countries.
Various Guilds controlled huge landmasses under them and always tried to fight other Guilds, Corporations, and backward Governments to expand their territories.
Previously various nations didn't go for full-scale warfare due to their fear of Nuclear Weapons.
But after Mana Awakening, just within five to six months, all these previous weapons of mass destruction suddenly lost their functionalities.
Even Towers Of Heaven started raiding different Human weapon deposits via their own Army.
The Army descended from the Heavens, dressed in white-colored robes and armors, they looked like Angels and wielded tremendous powers.
People called them the "God-Slaying Army".
God Slaying Army worked to neutralize the previous threats to humanity.
Although they never became completely successful in their en-devour of wiping out the Human Resistance, they changed the world significantly by placing major power-holders in charge who only vied for power, rule, and control.
In this way, the God-Slaying Army became successful in suppressing the ongoing Human Resistance very easily.
In due time, many people forgot about them and also started walking the paths of the Awakened individuals.
After people became awakened, they started giving tests to get accepted into different Guilds, participated in the raids of Wild Beasts and various Dungeons that were formed because of excess Mana in the environment, and also participated in various small-scale and large-scale ongoing wars between Guilds and even former countries.
The world changed.
Society changed too.
The New World and Society only respected powerhouses and people with potential.
Weak people and non-awakened individuals became powerless, oppressed, and cannon fodders for their superiors.
In the blink of an eye, almost 15 years passed.
Without anyone's guessing, The Preparatory Phase for the Planet #45HBP came to an end.
The Era of Great Tribulation arrived.
It was only a matter of time before the Mankind would be again thrown into the chaos.
The Dark Barrier separating Solaris from the outside world started to fade away slowly but certainly.
