Chapter 1 - The world after 1000 years

An alternate world where a cosmic event occurred 1000 years ago that completely changed the world system and became filled with aura, energy and elements, leading to the evolution of living beings and nature alike, which was called the "Great Transformation"1.

Animals broke their chains and some evolved into ancestors (extinct, mythical and legendary monsters) and some evolved into new species (due to natural elements or earthly and heavenly treasures), and wisdom was awakened and began to compete with humans for resources and land.

And they possessed intelligence no less than humans! As for humans, after they were the masters of the world, natural disasters and the spread of monsters affected them (there is a king monster that controls monsters to attack human cities), which caused the extinction of half of the world's population and the escape of survivors to areas with fewer resources to stay away from monster conflicts over land.

During this difficult period, humans were able to gain natural strength due to the increase in energy density in the atmosphere and the improvement of the diet due to the change in the land, and the average adult became 5 times stronger than the athlete before the disaster.

Some gifted people were able to awaken supernatural powers such as controlling natural elements or monsters, and some of them awakened a monstrous physical fitness, and humans also had the opportunity to evolve and practice training techniques (developing energy and aura in the body) from some ancient ruins.

From the outer worlds that also appeared with the disasters 1000 years ago, at first, portals to different worlds (magical, monstrous, primitive, barren, advanced) appeared randomly, some of which disappeared after a while, and some of which broke and monsters from the other world emerged from them (one of the reasons for the increase and strength of monsters in the world).

Because of those worlds discovered by the ancient "passers"2, humans were able to survive in a world in which the law of purpose prevailed and gain a foothold in a world in which the monster ruled over humans. Perhaps one of the biggest mutations that contributed to the survival and development of humans was what was later called "the year of hope"3, where two worlds suddenly appeared.

The first world was a fantasy world from which humans obtained the "Awakening Ceremony" technology4 and because that world was very similar to the original world, humans benefited from it in knowing the plants and resources that appeared after the "World Mutation", which is the name given to the event 1000 years ago.

One of the most important resources that contributed to the survival and development of humans is the "Awakening Stone"5 which interacts with human energy and stimulates the energy and aura within humans, which causes their talents to awaken and break human boundaries.

This stone is found naturally in the "Mana Stone"6 mines in which humans evolved by absorbing energy from them and raising their level.

There are also levels of Awakening Stones starting from the initial level, medium, high, to the super level, and also the mana stones have the same order as the Awakening Stones, the lowest level is the low, medium, high, super mana stone which represents the highest quality and is very rare and its energy is very dense, usually used as a nucleus for forming or an alchemical tool.

The second world was a high-level technical and imaginary world that the ancient passersby were able to obtain a technology later called "the display device"7 and it is activated by saying "the display state"8 which is a technology that combines "runes"9 and "biochemistry"10 to create a spiritual linking device that displays a person's statistics, talents and abilities in the form of a "holographic screen"11 that appears only to the user.

Because of the discovery of the two worlds, humans were able to rise again, although they were unable to re-rule the world, but they have areas of influence ruled by humans, and even the strongest monsters do not think of attacking those areas. However, the total of those lands controlled by humans does not reach a quarter of the size of the world's lands.

Due to the greedy nature of humans, the technologies and knowledge obtained from the Year of Hope were limited to a few hands, which caused internal wars and conflicts called the "Dark Year"12, which killed hundreds of thousands of people. Because these knowledges complemented each other, the conflicting parties reached an agreement that later developed into what is called the "Contribution System"13, which collects the knowledge, resources and technologies discovered by passersby and obtains contribution points.

This system is managed by a superior artificial intelligence called "Gaia"14. Due to the agreement concluded by the "Supreme Council"15, any direct control over the artificial intelligence was relinquished and it was allowed to manage the entire contribution system after establishing the rules of the exchange system that grant the awakener and noble families higher privileges and status compared to ordinary people.

Gaia is a superior artificial intelligence with strong analytical capabilities and an unlimited database, without feelings based on equivalent exchange and an interactive system with a high degree of evaluation of resources and knowledge and the primary controller of the value of resources, knowledge and money directly.

Gaia is connected to all display devices and has the right to access the person's information and link him to the contribution system, and once the display device is connected to the person, a special file is created for the person that cannot be deleted or modified except in special and unique circumstances.

Gaia manages its operation through branches located in all cities of the world under the name "Alliance Branch"16 and through these branches the person can provide or exchange resources and points simultaneously with all branches in the world.

Each branch is a multi-story building and provides several basic services, which are registration (registering people as mercenaries or passersby to request a display device), exchange (i.e. exchanging resources, knowledge and information for contribution points), quests (gathering resources such as herbs, hunting monsters, accompanying the quest, training, exploring worlds), resources (exchanging contribution points for resources, knowledge or status), and council (submitting a request for a quest or knowledge or raising status).

Because of this system, humans have become divided into the lowest, which are "slaves"17, "servants"18, commoners, masters, and the highest, which is the "nobles"19 class. Every person who reaches the age of 15 can register in the Gaia system to obtain his own display device that displays the person's statistics, talents and contribution points.
