Embers of Frost: From Biologist to Ice God

eug_cap
"Why is the Earth so different?" In the year 2085, the impossible happened: the Earth began to slow down until it stopped completely. Without an apparent reason, the planet drifted out of its orbit and began to wander through deep space. Neither the most brilliant scientists nor the most advanced AIs could find an answer as to why this was occurring. The Moon failed to follow Earth’s new path, as a result, massive tidal shifts swallowed entire continents, leaving only a fraction of humanity alive. The catastrophe deepened when, after three weeks of drifting, Earth collided with a mysterious, pitch-black planet. In the wake of the impact, more landmasses were shattered, leaving only portions of Asia and Africa intact. From the darkness of this black planet, strange entities emerged. Humanity dubbed them "Krukins", hostile, ink-black creatures that were extremely aggressive toward the survivors. Right before the Earth began its descent into chaos, a biologist was launched toward a planet near a black hole. This world, dubbed "New Earth" due to its striking similarities to our own. The biologist, Darian, was told that while ten years would pass for him on this new world, only fifty years would pass on Earth. But the calculations were wrong. It wasn’t fifty years that passed back home, it was five hundred. When Darian finally returns to Earth, he is not alone. On the alien planet, he found a small creature capable of fusing with him, granting him the power of ice. He returns five centuries late to find a world he no longer recognizes, a planet overrun by Krukins. Standing amidst the ruins of his home, Darian cannot believe his eyes.

The Light amidst the Darkness

The light that will eat out all the darkness in the world. Zoe, the most powerful light wizard in existence, is nearing her death. She's already over 10,000 years old and no man was able to capture her heart. The only partner she had was her cat. Her cat's name is Beru. Its color is black with a shade of emerald green. Its eyes are as hollow as the abyss. There's no pupil, no color at all. Looking at it will make you see the past and the future. Sitting in her chair made out of adamantium, the god mineral. She is reminiscing about her past. How she struggled from being an orphan, to being a slave and finally after being recognized having affinity with mana, she was saved and was taught about magic. Her breathing is getting rough. Her body is collapsing and her eyes are barely open. With her last breath, she uttered her last will to her precious cat. She said, "Find the most promising creature and impart to it all the knowledge that I have accumulated over 10 millennia." The cat did not respond, instead it only stared into her eyes. Zoe passed away with only one regret and that would be not experiencing what normal humans do, falling in love, having kids and growing old with someone she loves. Now that Zoe is gone. Beru is now the only one left inside the castle. The castle is located at the top of the tallest mountain in the north. With its harsh climate, having a temperature of minus 100 Fahrenheit (minus 100 celsius). There were countless adventurers who tried to explore the tallest mountain, hoping to encounter treasures. But what awaits them are the creatures hideous enough to scare the shit out of them. Those encounters with the monsters spread to all adventurers and no attempt was once again made to explore the North.
