Prologue

  Billions of years ago, Earth teemed with life, including early humans. A time arrived when humanity reached its zenith. Futuristic cities pierced the sky. Artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and robotics flourished. Brilliant minds unlocked the pnet’s resources, pcing vast knowledge and seemingly limitless potential within humanity’s grasp. However, this era of advancement fostered arrogance and corruption, twisting human ambition into a relentless pursuit of greed and unspeakable acts. Unbeknownst to humanity, they had offended entities far more powerful and knowledgeable than themselves – beings whose power and understanding dwarfed their own. These entities presented humanity with an ultimatum: survival or annihition. This choice, however, was not as simple as it seemed. Hidden within the alternatives y veiled knowledge and unforeseen consequences.

  Humanity chose “life,” a seemingly obvious choice. Who wouldn’t choose life over death? But the decision wasn’t as simple as it appeared. As previously mentioned, hidden knowledge and consequences y veiled within the alternatives. Tragically, this “easy” path led humanity to its extinction. Six hundred million years ter, the astronauts—originally sent on a mission to explore the Milky Way and Andromeda gaxies—finally returned to Earth, now designated Earth 1B46E_D. This pnet is now home to the Krynns, a humanoid species with striking almond-shaped eyes and blue skin. These astronauts are the Krynns’ only allies in the vast cosmos. Indeed, two of the astronauts’ wives are Krynn, though they have been genetically altered to resemble humans. In essence, the humans and the Krynns are now one family.

  A mad genius, a Xaphier being named Adulf Ezhter, engineered new life forms by combining the DNA of various creatures found on Earth 1B46E_D. His creations were diverse and fantastical. One type resembled humans but possessed bestial traits. These humanoid creatures might have the ears or tail of a rabbit, dog, or tiger—the variations were endless. These beings became known as Beastkins. He also crafted humanoids with long, pointed ears, who were ter called Elves, and small humanoids of extraordinary strength, who became known as Dwarves. These were the proud creations of Adulf Ezhter. Each race possessed its own strengths and weaknesses, and like humans, each individual had a unique personality.

  The Krynns and Adulf Ezhter, combining their knowledge, developed a system known simply as “System.” This system is inherent in all of Adulf Ezhter’s creations and their descendants.

  To activate the system, one simply vocalizes or thinks the word “System.” It then appears before the user, dispying their status: Name, Race, Age, Rank, Attributes, and Inherent Skill. While Health, Strength, Defense, Speed, Dexterity, and Mana are not explicitly shown, they are ingrained within each individual, known intuitively.

  Mana serves as the energy source. Without it, the use of techniques is impossible, except through external consumables such as scrolls and potions.

  Five hundred thousand years ter, Adulf Ezhter’s creations poputed the entire supercontinent. The Krynns, the original Humans, and Adulf Ezhter himself did not live among their creations. They resided in a separate realm accessible only through a portal created by the ChronoWarp. Over vast stretches of time, only the long-lived Xaphier’s creations retained knowledge of the Krynns, the original Humans, and their creator, Adulf Ezhter. Satisfied with his work, Adulf Ezhter, along with his trusted companions, allowed his creations to popute the supercontinent and left them to their own devices. Consequently, each race established its own kingdom.

  The Dwarves, Elves, Beastkins, and (ter) Humans formed distinct societies. The human race, however, was created three hundred thousand years after the other races. These new humans were derived solely from the DNA of the st surviving original Humans in the cosmos. Like the other races, their status, too, was ingrained within them and passed down to their descendants. And thus, our story begins.

  A universe, a single eye,

  A cosmic held, a mystery nigh.

  A soul unbound, a spirit free,

  A cosmic dance, wild and carefree.

  Yet, bound to flock, a fateful plight,

  A sacrifice of self, a dimming light.

  A group's command, a chilling sway,

  A soul subdued, a fading ray.

  The universe within, now lost to sight,

  A cosmic dance, extinguished night.

  A famous poem by FEORGE FARLIN of the old world millions of years ago.
