"Damn...Still no progress! Damn those doctors. Their genetic fluid is just useless as crap. Mom was right, I shouldn't waste money on these. But, how can I ever give up?"
Summer Sterling stood at the edge of the bustling city of Enoch, where towering spires of metal and glass pierced the sky, and neon lights flickered against the twilight.
Despite being named Summer, his life felt more like a harsh winter, plagued by the relentless storms of a rainy season. The warmth and brightness his name suggested were nowhere to be found in the cold reality he faced every day.
His eyes, a deep shade of blue, mirrored the vibrant cityscape while concealing a glint of frustration. He stood tall at nearly 1.7 meters (5 feet 10 inches), his fair skin contrasting sharply with the light, dark XenoMesh Suit he wore.
The suit, engineered for maximum flexibility and equipped with advanced tech gear, clung to his well-defined frame.
His black hair was tousled, betraying the inner turmoil he felt. The futuristic fabric of the suit shimmered under the city lights, its intricate patterns shifting subtly with his movements, hinting at the suit's sophisticated capabilities.
The advanced modernised city was crowded with the hum of machinery, and the distant rumble of hovercrafts echoed through the streets. Yet, amidst this sea of progress and potential, Nash felt a gnawing emptiness within.
He was 18 years old now, barely a young man, but in Enoch, age was only a number. What mattered was the strength within your genes—the power you could harness through the fabled Gene Evolution...
When a person evolves in this transformed world, they unlock the ability to perform feats that defy the very laws of nature—wielding powers that no ordinary human could even dream of.
This evolution doesn't just grant them extraordinary abilities; it extends their lifespan, offering them the promise of a future filled with limitless potential and boundless opportunities. On the other hand who can't evolve, their end is absolute.
These gene evolvers, now more than human, find themselves on a path paved with success and glory, living life at its fullest. Dangerous tasks may lie ahead, but in a time of relative peace, these challenges seem almost trivial—mere stepping stones on the road to greatness.
In the City of Enoch, the children are blessed with early awakenings. By the tender age of ten, most have already unlocked their Base Evolution Gene, the keystone of their genetic potential. With this awakening, they gain their first Gene Ability.
Using that ability and foundation, they sets on the evolutionary path. By the time they reach fifteen, these young prodigies typically command at least two Gene Abilities, having completed their first evolution.
Many might have even begun to augment their powers with Auxiliary Genes, wielding a varieties of secondary abilities that complement and enhance their core strengths.
The Base Evolution Gene is more than just a marker of a evolver; it is the essence of talent itself.
Without it, one is locked out of the evolutionary process, unable to accumulate Gene Essence, harness Genetic Force, or unlock the Gene Abilities that define greatness in this new world. The Base Evolution Gene is the foundation—the platform upon which all future evolution is built. A strong Base Gene is essential for anyone with ambitions of rising to prominence.
Auxiliary Genes, while secondary, are no less important. They are the key to diversification, granting a range of abilities that can turn an evolved individual into a versatile force of nature. They could gain them by hunting Beasts and monsters—who have crystalized core inside them.
These genes complement the Base Evolution Gene, enhancing its effects or introducing entirely new powers. Together, they create a synergy that propels an individual beyond the ordinary limits of human potential.
However, not everyone is so fortunate. Some, like Nash Sterling, are unable to awaken their dormant Base Evolution Gene. These unfortunate souls were now considered as mere mortals—an anachronism in a world now defined by power and evolution.
To the rest of society, they are relics of a bygone era, forever trapped in a state of mediocrity, unable to break free from the chains of their unawakened DNA.
For those who do evolve, the process is often seamless, almost as if their DNA remembers the slow, relentless march of evolution that brought mankind to this point. It is said that humanity's genetic code is a repository of ancient power, a living record of countless ages and epochs.
Upon awakening, these dormant genes comes to life, unleashing formidable abilities that present the primal forces of nature.
It has been 99 years since the Gene Apocalypse—a cataclysmic event that reshaped the world in the blink of an eye. What was once a familiar landscape has now become a sanctuary for seekers of strength, a place where power is the ultimate currency.
In this brave new world, evolution is the key to survival, and those who adapt thrive in ways their ancestors could never have imagined.
Even technology has not been left untouched. It too has evolved, merging with Gene Force and other elemental energies to create wonders that blend the biological and the mechanical.
In this world, the lines between flesh and machine blur, as humanity continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, reaching far beyond solar system.
....
Suddenly...
"Vroom.. Vroom.."
"Screech.."
A group of smooth, high-performance supercars, each capable of soaring through the skies, touched down gracefully in front of him. The cars' glossy exteriors shimmered in the ambient light, their aerodynamic designs hinting at the cutting-edge technology within. As the doors of the vehicles glided open, a group of exceptionally attractive young men and women emerged, their presence commanding attention.
The girls were stunningly beautiful, their features refined and captivating, each radiating an effortless allure. They moved with a blend of grace and confidence, their attire meticulously chosen to highlight their striking figures. The boys, equally impressive, exuded an air of polished sophistication and strength. They were the epitome of elegance and charisma, their demeanor reflecting a high status among the elite.
The entire group embodied the pinnacle of both physical and social prestige, their appearance marking them as the crème de la crème of society.
There were two boys and three girls of similar age as Nash Sterling.
"Julia, you're here," Summer said with a broad smile, spreading his arms towards the girl who exuded a celestial charm.
"When did you come back? You look more beautiful the last time I saw you."
Julia, nearly 1.7 meters tall, was the embodiment of ethereal beauty. Her porcelain skin contrasted with her flowing dark hair, which fell in soft waves around her shoulders. Her pink lips and sharp, expressive eyes added to her allure. Dressed in a tight white combat suit, she showcased her well-proportioned hourglass figure and striking hips. The suit clung to her curves, highlighting her graceful form and accentuating her elegance.
As she moved, her serene and deliberate steps seemed almost otherworldly, like a gentle dawn that casts its delicate light across the landscape. Her presence left a profound impression, radiating an aura of both sophistication and grace.
Julia opened her arms and embraced him with a soft, graceful movement, her eyes reflecting both warmth and— a rare hint of hesitation.
Summer felt the warmth of Julia's embrace which melt away his frustrations, like a soothing evening breeze.
But the tranquility of the moment shattered when he heard her softly whisper near his ear, "Summer, we need to break up."
