*MATURE CONTENT *NO NTR Earth awakened a system. Humankind mutated because of the mana, and the system graded them differently according to their physique. The chain of command on Earth changed drastically. Stronger folks went up the scale of power, and every young person wanted to become powerful like their TV idols. But not all of it was rainbow and sunshine. Earth had been one of the last planets who awakened the system, so its power was way behind the other civilizations. 23rd of May of 2134, the year humankind fell. A civilization from another planet came and conquered Earth. Their powers were just too grand, and humankind could not survive. The reason for the invasion was simple: land and energy. When Earth awakened the system and mana, the entire planet suffered mutations. Powerful beasts and rare ores were all over the planet, and the alien civilizations wanted that! Zephyr Caspian had just turned 18 — the awakening age — when the invasion happened. A beautiful woman, Zephyr’s mother, placed him inside a special ship, one that had the power to freeze his body till he found a planet to land at. “Zephyr, get inside this ship, it will lead you out of the planet. Please, my son, you need to survive!” An older man was beside the woman. He had a box in hands. “My grandson, this is the inheritance I’ll give you. Take care of it, and make a good use.” “Mother, grandfather, come with me! Please!” Zephyr begged. Only one person could get inside the ship. Zephyr’s grandfather knocked him out cold, and tossed him inside the ship, thinking to himself it was the only way to save his grandson. Zephyr landed on a primitive planet, and his spaceship was destroyed, making him unable to leave the planet until he restored it. But gladly, the inheritance he got from his grandfather had its use! A special key which allowed him to enter a tavern where the Gods went for a drink and a chat. Missions from the Gods gave Zephyr points to use a type of Gacha System!

The Bible of Darkness stolen by the Folix—the ghosts of Darkness—made Han Zhong, the Dragon Son of Trixon, have to descend from Mount Severe. The reason is, in addition to the sacred book, the Folix apparently kidnapped babies from settlements at the foot of the mountain as well. According to a rumor spread by an fortune-teller, the baby was a descendant of the Dark Lord. Just as it was recorded in the Bible of Darkness. That in the next ten years there will be a Dark War led by a human. And for the Dragon descendant trying to balance the world, Han Zhong had to prevent it all. But actually, how did the Folix know that babies born in the most sacred settlements at the foot of Severe Mountain who were protected by the Dragon Castle guard descended Darkness? Is this just an excuse that the Folixes are actually keeping something very different from the Bible? copyright NiceMcQueen2022
