ths passed for Saylar, feeling like an eternity. Within the walls of his room, which had always been his refuge from the world's noise, his days transformed into a whirlwind of training and self-discovery. The pen, the treasure he inherited, became an inseparable part of his being, pulsating in his consciousness and illuminating his path in an altered world.
The journey wasn't as rosy as he imagined. Between his school duties, mana control training, and the tasks the system threw at him like lightning bolts, Saylar found himself facing challenges he never anticipated.
"5000 Creativity Points!" Saylar whispered to himself, staring at the holographic interface of the system. "Five months of hard work, and all I got are these points that I don't even know how to spend."
Saylar sighed in frustration. He felt like he was stuck, not making any real progress. "How will I become strong enough to protect the world if I can't even level up?"
He tried to focus on the "Level" statistic in the "Status" interface, as if trying to extract more information. Suddenly, a detailed explanation of how to gain experience points appeared before his eyes:
"To gain experience points, you must face enemies in combat. The stronger the opponent, the more experience points you will gain upon defeating them."
Saylar read the explanation carefully, his eyes widening in surprise. "Combat?!" he muttered in a low voice. "That's scary."
He sighed again and closed the system interface. He felt some tension and anxiety, but he was determined to face the future with courage. He had chosen this path and had to bear its consequences.
During these five months, Saylar realized that the world around him was no longer the same. Strange changes began to appear everywhere, arousing curiosity and anxiety at the same time. No one realized that Saylar was responsible for these changes, and that the magic pen he possessed was the cause of it all.
It started with some pure lakes transforming into "magic lakes" with transparent, glowing water. People flocked to these lakes in large numbers, telling stories about their ability to heal and rejuvenate. Scientists tried to study this phenomenon, but they couldn't find any scientific explanation. Some speculated that a change in the Earth's magnetic field was the cause, while others attributed it to an unknown cosmic energy affecting the water.
Then some animals started exhibiting strange behaviors: giant cats terrorizing the suburbs, dogs shooting electric sparks from their mouths, birds flying at incredible speeds, and snakes spitting multicolored venom. No one could explain these changes, and conspiracy theories and fake news spread like wildfire. Some people believed these animals were infected with a strange virus, while others saw them as the result of secret government experiments.
Most importantly, some humans began to display different abilities. In America, a construction worker named "John" became capable of lifting enormous weights and smashing walls with his bare fist. In China, a university student named "Lin" started running at incredible speeds, rivaling the fastest cars. In France, an old farmer named "Pierre" became able to shoot electric bolts from his hands. And in Brazil, a dancer named "Isabella" gained control over the earth, shaping it at will. No one knew the real reason behind these abilities, and everyone thought they were just random mutations or rare innate skills.
Saylar realized that he was responsible for these changes, and that the magic pen he possessed was the cause of it all. He felt a mixture of surprise and pride at first, but this pride quickly turned to terror when he began to realize the negative consequences of this change.
The emergence of superpowered individuals led to a wave of panic and chaos in the world. People began to fear these "superpowered individuals," and governments demanded a solution to suppress them. Some superpowered individuals used their abilities for personal gain, whether for money, fame, or power, while others were drawn into the world of crime and terrorism, which exacerbated the problem and angered the general public.
"This is a nightmare!" Saylar muttered in horror, watching a video of a massive demonstration demanding the isolation of superpowered individuals. "I didn't want this to happen."
Saylar sank into a period of depression and despair, struggling with feelings of guilt and responsibility for the chaos that had engulfed the world. Fortunately, he was not alone. He found support from his family and friends, who helped him regain his balance and face the future with optimism.
Opposition to superpowered individuals intensified around the world with every crime committed by them. Demonstrations spread across the planet, demanding strict laws to control these individuals and protect society from them. Some protesters called for isolating superpowered individuals in special camps, while others demanded the removal of their powers using technology or magic. In response, some superpowered individuals began to organize and defend themselves, asserting their rights and demanding equality and justice.
The media played a major role in fueling this conflict. Media outlets focused on publishing news about crimes committed by some superpowered individuals and exaggerated these events to attract viewers. As a result, people began to view all superpowered individuals as criminals and a danger to society, leading to increased hatred and discrimination against them.
But all that changed when the first monstrous wave erupted from the depths of the Amazon rainforest. Terrifying creatures, deformed by concentrated mana, swept through villages and cities, leaving behind destruction and death. Conventional weapons were ineffective against them, and governments found themselves helpless in the face of this new threat.
At this critical moment, heroes emerged. Ordinary people who gained superpowers thanks to mana decided to use these powers to protect humanity. They joined the army and police forces and fought fierce battles against the mutated creatures. Thanks to their courage and sacrifices, they managed to repel the attack and save many lives.
Humans weren't the only ones affected by the increase in mana. Animals transformed into terrifying monsters, larger, fiercer, and more intelligent than ever before. These monsters attacked cities and villages with tremendous force, causing destruction and death everywhere. Conventional weapons were useless against them, and governments found themselves powerless in the face of this new threat.
At this critical moment, people and governments realized they were not alone in this predicament. All living beings were affected by the increase in mana, and mutated animals posed an existential threat to humanity. Faced with this common threat, people began to unite and cooperate to confront this new danger.
Monsters were not just deformed or crazed animals. They were intelligent and organized creatures, capable of learning and adapting. And over time, they became more powerful and dangerous. Faced with this terrifying reality, humans realized they were facing an existential struggle to remain at the top of the food chain.
Survival was no longer linked to physical strength or advanced technology alone. Evolution and adaptation became the decisive factors in this new world. Faced with this challenge, humans began to explore their new possibilities and develop their abilities at an accelerated pace. They realized that mana was not just a destructive force, but also a force that enabled evolution and progress.
Meanwhile, Saylar watched the unfolding events with concern and anticipation. He knew he was responsible for these radical changes and that the fate of humanity was in his hands. Would Saylar be able to lead humanity towards a new era of evolution and prosperity? Or would the world slide into chaos and destruction?
