Chapter 0 – Prologue
The year was 6666. Planet Earth, once fractured and battered by cosmic misfortune, had been reborn as United Earth. Four thousand years ago, an asteroid struck Mercury, shattering the planet into fragments that rained down across the Solar System. Earth nearly collapsed under the devastation, yet humanity refused to perish.
United, they rebuilt society. Nations, religions, and borders became meaningless. In their unity, humanity advanced.
By 3666, scientists discovered the key to evolution through genes, unlocking a path of boundless potential. They also discovered Nexus Gates, portals that linked Earth to other planets in the vast expanse known as the Genesis Nexus. Through the absorption of Nexus Shards, humans could evolve beyond natural limits, achieving strength unimaginable.
On United Earth, the age of seventeen marked adulthood. But those with exceptional maturity could acquire a Maturity Card, granting them the rights of adults regardless of age, including passage through the Nexus Gates. Meditation also allowed humans to refine their bodies and souls, slowly gaining immense strength over time.
And in this world, some were already far beyond ordinary men and women, shaping the fate of Earth and the Nexus alike.
