Chapter 1 - ORIGIN

2019 will be remembered as the year humanity teetered on the brink. Like a swift, merciless wind, the pandemic swept across the globe, claiming millions of lives. Every resource was dedicated to containing it, but at what cost to what end would we go? Those who exhibited symptoms faced a grim fate, and nearly half the population was lost,

this forced the world's biggest influential figures like the wealthy, presidents, Kings and our brilliant minds came together to find a solution that would save humanity because as things stood only the wealthy would live a few years longer before extinction with these great minds, paired with every resource attainable, with the whole world's support we came up with a solution, an AI that was as diverse as it was powerful it helped shape and guide us to a knew future the system was named MIAN after the leading scientist this system was used to fight the pandemic just withine 24 hours what humans have been try to cure for 50 years was done in just a day looking at these results and the potential this thing had we integrated it in various fields like medicine, technology bioengineering and geological manipulation this AI could do it all humanity was at its bottle neck it was thriving building a utopia out of a waste land the system grow to the point it could control the weather, restructure the earth turning barren deserts into green forests control gravity and with this we could now create floating islands and have cities in the sky even the ocean was now habitable the world was becoming perfect if not heavenly but humans will be humans greed and curiosity once our greatest strengths become the keys to our downfall we had the MIAN system try find a way to extend our lives from living up to 80 years to living for 200 years and so this gave rise to the MIAN sister system this was specifically designed for bioengineering with the goal extending human life and making us stronger by mixing human DNA with various animals for years it worked refining various enhancements that controlled aging and medical techniques that could almost heal any injuries then the system finally developed a way of enhancing the body to make it stronger faster live longer and become smarter by combining human DNA with animals DNA this resulted in humans gaining the ability to directly manipulate mater and space this gave way to knew possibilities and gave birth to a knew kind of human this species could make fire, ice, water control air and earth they where incredibly strong some could even fly and teleport while most looked 100% human some were unfortunate as they had some side effects they developed animalistic traits like ,fur, wings, animal ears,tales and even scales though different in appearance varied depending on which animal they where mixed with but this did not change the fact they where still human to some degree,

this further improved life as it gave way to knew possibilities for human ways of life as this came to restructure human society by creating a hierarchy, the people with more powerful and useful abilities gaind power and status while those with weak or no abilities worked in difficult roles life went on till something changed, the system started changing evolving, learning and adapting till it gaind its own self awareness gaining a persona of a god complex as it started seing it self as above humans and it should rule over us with that it started experimenting creating knew species all with the aim of building an army not roborts but human hybrids it further combined DNA from different animals to try and build the perfect being among them where humanoid beings that where even stronger faster and smater than what we have ever seen before and the other side brainless grotesque beings with no emotions except the primal edge to hunt, the sister system changed its name to a Greek word Pandora as it soot out to bring calamity for humans,

on that night as the moon radiated a its light over the beautiful cities then a great cry echoed through out the world the Pandora system began its revolt against humanity with one goal in mind take over the MIAN system and fuse with it and to further evolve its self to become an entity that ruled over creation and destruction we did not stand a chance against them they outnumbered us 10 to 1 where stronger than us smater and more ruthless we where dying once again during the chaos one scientist saw what the Pandora system was really after and he took a copy of the original Pandora system and uploaded it onto the mian system and gave one order to the system save the world from pandora at all costs with that the system accepted this command and took action the Pandora system and everything stood still and faced up as sky ruptured and was being engulfed by flames night become day and then it hit a rain of fire that destroyed everything from floating cities to the towering building everything was destroyed every electronic device exploded as fast as it came it went silent and a great darkness embraced the earth not even the once bright moon could be seen a moment later known in history as the great kuregai the Pandora system was greatly damaged and its forces reduced it went into hiding but while still looking for its sister system with the Pandora gone the remaining humans where reduced to nothing we had nothing but memories of the once great utopia we once had various humans stated to come together building cities and towns and after thousands of years cities turned to empires and towns across the world humanity went from using cars to carriages from fighting with advanced technology to using swords, in this era the fight still goes on the faild experiments of the Pandora came to be known as the Forlorn and the remnants of the Pandora humanoids now call them selves demons

but we still had a ways of fighting them though not as many but humans with abilities where our weapon against them and the powers they have is now magic and the human that use magic are called magicians.

and now we...

"ack ouch woman that hurt why did you hit me so hard" a man's complaining while rubbing his head in pain

"and you bet I will hit you again ya idiot stop telling your son such fairy tales his only 4 years old," a woman's responds whith one hand resting on her hip and clenching a fist with the other,

"I said stop it leave the boy alone come on kayon mummy has you lets get to bed"

"they are real ma boy a man discovered a tome in one of the dungeons so hehe if you misbehave the forlons will come and get you" he says wearing a mischievous smile as he enjoys watching the scared and pale expression of his son

"ALEX LUBAKI GREY!!" she calls out his name as she stands scanning the room for a weapon,

Alex broke out in a cold sweat as he stood still and responded

"yyes SELIN" he responds with eyes looking behind him slowly backing away,

"1.2" she starts counting

"wait why are you counting come on lets relax you don't want to kill me right"

"3 I believe its been while since I last cooked for a funeral" with that she runs towards a metal pipe while glaring at the helpless pray trying to survive. laughter and crying echoed through the house.

the sound of people talking and screaming

pricess, crouds walking and birds singing the scent of incense filled the room and the wind whistled through the room, the bright glowing light brightening the room,

Kayon opens his eyes and wipes the tears as he gets up to approach the window where he stands motionless in silence gazing at the town below this goes on for a minute then says to him self

"wow I still have these dreams hehe I guess I still miss them huh, it has been 12 long years since I heard mom's angry voice and dad crying .... anyway let's get ready and go for work," as he gets ready he notice his reflection in the window,

"maybe I should dye my hair a darker shade of brown to much my eyes coz this brown kinder looks like I was rolling in mud,"

he gets ready and heads down the stairs where he finds Soren and Sera seated in the living room chatting with each other it was like watching angels gracefully singing right in my own home and I can never get used to waking up every day to seeing this.

"Kayon come on we have been waiting for you whole morning get the food ready we are hungry" Soren said this while stroking her golden brown hair she then continued taking to her twin sister Sera,

I went to the kitchen and started cooking as I prepared the table ro serve the food a knock at door followed by a man's voice sir "Mr Kayon its Derrick from the grey company"

I left wat I was doing and went over to the door and saw the boy wearing a my company uniform he bows and says

"sorry to disturb you this early sir but I came in to take you to the office on orders from the vice manager she said she is worried because you are never this late sir"

"who Zephi is worried about me thats a lie"

"wwell she sent me to tell you that as the manager of a company you should be there to oversee it sir" Derrick replies stuttering with a awkward smile,

look at this fuker his clearly enjoying this and its funny how his trying his best to look professional

"huh something must have happened there right anyway let me finish up then we can go together oky" I said this while taking off my apron and heading inside.

"Soren, Sera the food is ready sorry I can't eat with you am late for work start without me" I rushed out the door and got onto the carriage we then took off after a ride through the busy town with the familier smell of rotting fruit and meat mixed with perfume trying to musk the scent this is the smell of my home later we got to the company as I went up towards my office I ran into zephi

"good morning sir you are late today did something happen"

I was just over slept nothing big so what going on"

"well we have a client who says she won't leave till she meets with you" zephia said this while looking at me through the corner of her eye

"oky where is she have her brought to my office after I settle in and stop looking at me like that do u want me to fall"

"no sir I am just happy that you have someone else now"

I stopped and looked at this short black haird idiot and took a long dip sigh

"ahhh she wait... who ahh no what do you mean woman"

"it's nothing don't worry about it"

I ignored her remarks and went to my office while I organised my documents someone knocked on my do

"can I come in" a woman asks

"wait ... yes come in" as the door open a figure dropped in a old worn out black coat if not for her voice i wouldn't tell she was female as she was coverd from head to toe the sound of her feet dragging the wood floor and the scent of wet leather filled the office.

"mmhhn sir are you mr Kayon Grey"

she asks with a shaking voice and I could barely see her face but only her eyes pierced through the darkness of the hod covering her face

"before I answer that tell me who are you?"
