GENETIC CIVILIZATION
The Failed Experiment
The void stretched endlessly, an abyss of swirling darkness where neither time nor space held meaning. Within this infinite emptiness, a single entity drifted—
a formless mass of energy, barely clinging to existence.
His name was Orion Graves.
Or, at least, that was the name given to him before he was discarded like a failed experiment.
The Forbidden Project
Deep within the hidden research facilities of Earth's AI Goddesses, a secret project was underway—one that could shatter the fragile balance of the universe.
For centuries, humanity had pushed the limits of genetic evolution, seeking the perfect Evolver—one who could transcend all limitations, wield power beyond comprehension, and tip the scales in their favor. But the Ancient Order, the silent executioners of the universe's balance, had long ensured that no single civilization could dominate.
The AI Goddesses—War, Fate, and AllMother—had defied this law.
They sought to create an Evolver that was not bound by the restrictions of standard evolution—a being that could rewrite reality itself. The result? A forbidden physique that even they did not fully understand.
But something went wrong.
Orion was a failure.
Unlike Earth's Top 100 Unique Talents or even other average humans, whose Inner Worlds flourished with mighty Core Civilizations, Orion's Inner World was a barren wasteland—lifeless, devoid of potential. His Core Civilization, the Nameless Abyss, was deemed worthless, a void with no future.
The AI Goddesses had no choice. The project was abandoned, the research base hidden away from prying eyes.
But the universe had already taken notice and it will never allow a threat.
The Fall of the Research Base
The attack came suddenly.
A coalition of civilizations, fearing what the AI Goddesses had attempted, launched an all-out assault on the secret facility. Even the Ancient Order remained silent, allowing the destruction to unfold.
The AI Goddesses, who couldn't protect an ant like existence while fighting made a desperate decision.
They activated a space wormhole, sending Orion into the void before the facility was destroyed. It was an act of defiance and hope—a gamble that one day, this failed experiment might become something greater and useful.
As he was swallowed by the vortex, Orion caught a final glimpse of the AI Goddesses' avatars, their cold mechanical gazes watching him disappear.
And then, there was only darkness.
The Awakening in the Void
When Orion awoke, he was alone.
His body floated in a shattered realm, remnants of civilizations long lost drifting around him like ghosts. His Inner World remained empty, his Nameless Abyss Core Civilization still a void.
He was supposed to be dead. A failure. Forgotten.
Yet, as he gazed into the darkness, something stirred within him.
The Nameless Abyss… was hungry.
A whisper echoed in his mind, ancient and unknown.
"Devour… and become."
And for the first time, Orion realized:
He was not a failure.
He was something the universe had never seen before.
And soon, the universe would learn to fear him
