Chapter One: The Celestial Cells and the Rise of a Monster
The Arrival of the Stone
It started as a bright streak across the night sky, a cosmic fireball hurtling toward Earth at unimaginable speeds. Scientists across the globe tracked its descent, calculating impact zones and preparing for what could be a global catastrophe. But when the celestial stone finally crashed into the Pacific Ocean, its impact was far less devastating than predicted.
Instead of destruction, the event sparked the greatest scientific race in history. The stone was divided into seven fragments, each claimed by different world powers—The United Nation of America, Russia, China, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan.
Hidden within these fragments was something beyond human comprehension: a single-celled organism of celestial origin, preserved within the rock for millennia. It was unlike anything ever encountered, an entity pulsating with energy, defying all known laws of biology.
Each country embarked on rigorous research, but progress was slow. The cells resisted analysis, and any attempt at duplication ended in failure. Frustrated scientists either gave up or inadvertently destroyed their samples in reckless experiments.
But in the United Nation of America, a breakthrough occurred.
The Ultimate Discovery
Dr. Harold Greaves, a biogeneticist renowned for his work in human augmentation, discovered the truth—the celestial cells were not just alive; they were transformative. When introduced to organic life, the cells did not assimilate like bacteria or viruses. Instead, they improved the host.
A human injected with a controlled dose would experience rapid evolution—enhanced strength, intelligence, endurance, and regeneration. Animals exhibited similar growth, becoming stronger, faster, and resistant to disease.
Greaves had uncovered the key to perfecting the human body.
But not everyone celebrated his success.
The Assassins' Betrayal
A shadowy group of high-ranking scientists and government officials saw the discovery as a threat. If such power were to fall into the wrong hands, humanity itself could be reshaped beyond control. They deemed Greaves too dangerous to live.
A contract was issued.
Kill the scientist. Destroy his research. Erase the knowledge of celestial cells from existence.
The world's deadliest assassins were called upon. Among them was Darius Kane, a veteran hitman with a reputation for completing impossible missions. But Kane was dying—Stage IV cancer, an inescapable death sentence.
Upon infiltrating Greaves' laboratory, Kane uncovered the scientist's final secret: the cells were more than just a tool for evolution. They could cure anything.
Desperate, he took the ultimate gamble.
He injected himself with the celestial cells.
The transformation was immediate. His failing body regenerated at an unprecedented rate. His muscles grew denser, his reflexes heightened, and his mind expanded. Within minutes, Kane was no longer the man he once was—he was something more, something far beyond human.
The cells did not just heal him. They evolved him into a god.
And now, he wanted more.
The Rise of a Monster
With his newfound power, Kane no longer needed to fulfill contracts. He slaughtered the other assassins and dismantled the organization that had hired him. One by one, he hunted down the officials who had feared the cells' potential, making their deaths slow and agonizing.
Then, he turned his attention to America.
With an army of mercenaries under his command, Kane became the most dangerous force the world had ever known. Governments collapsed before him, and crime syndicates bowed to his will. He was immune to bullets, capable of surviving nuclear blasts with nothing more than minor scratches.
The world had birthed a nightmare.
And now, only one hope remained.
The Indian Connection
In India, tragedy had already struck. During early experiments, an accident led to a massive explosion, destroying their entire research facility. The official reports declared all samples lost in the fire.
But the Indian intelligence agency RAW suspected otherwise.
Secret files revealed that a single celestial cell might have survived, hidden somewhere within the ruins. If retrieved, it could be humanity's last chance against Kane.
A covert mission was assembled. Only one man could be entrusted with this task.
Aadi.
The Shadow Operative: Aadi
Born into a middle-class family, Aadi was never ordinary. From childhood, his mind worked differently—he saw patterns where others saw chaos. At just fifteen, he had created an advanced AI and launched his own private satellite network, all without anyone knowing.
By the time RAW recruited him, he was already a ghost—an entity that existed beyond records, beyond surveillance. Even his fellow agents had no idea of the full extent of his capabilities.
Now, he had been given his most dangerous mission yet.
Find the last remaining celestial cell. Secure it. And, if necessary—kill Kane.
Failure was not an option.
Because if Kane's power continued to grow, no force on Earth would be able to stop him.
