QUICKLIGHTNING: THE GUARDIANS
n a world of fantasy, magic, monsters, science, energy, and biological evolution, humanity stands divided. Some people awaken mysterious abilities and are called Beta Humans.

In the heart of the slums lives a young man named Harrison, a victim of fate and a man abandoned by both God and mankind. Having lost everything he once cherished, Harrison encounters a failed laboratory experiment that grants him the most powerful gift of evolution. Consumed by pain and hatred for the world, he vows to bend it to his will. With the power to adapt and evolve, he becomes a sinister version of himself, raising armies to fulfill his selfless ambition of liberating the Dark Continent

Amidst the chaos stands another young man named Johnson Stones, who shares a fate just as tragic. After losing his family and sense of self, Johnson does not turn his hatred outward.
