The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, gold light that painted the clouds in shades of amber and pink. It was a breathtaking, almost surreal sight. Suddly, the heavs rumbled, and the mountains shattered, sding debris flying in all directions. The surreal clouds parted, revealing a -haired youth wielding a crimson-blazing longsword, standing in the air. The air a him was wild, whipping his hair back as he locked eyes with a towering figure. The figure stood a massive three meters tall, with a twisted face and two horns protruding from his forehead. In his hands, he gripped a giant spear crackling with lightning. "Lowly human, you dare block me?" the horned giant snarled, radiating an intse killing aura. "Really? From where I stand, it seems you're the one blocking my way. You're ev blocking the sun with your height," the -haired youth replied with a disdainful smile. "Human bug, I will crush you and slave your tire civilization," the horned man growled, tighting his grip on the spear. "Tsk, you couldn't do anything two years ago. How do you expect to fare this time?" The -haired youth's eyes glinted with a hint of sadness as he spoke. Th, his aura exploded, and he pointed his sword directly at the horned giant. "I will cut you down, hunt down your frids, and destroy them. After that, I will find your wretched race and exterminate it. This is my final promise to you," the -haired youth declared, his gaze burning with fury. "A mere human race dares to be arrogant? Do you think your little strgth can rival my thousands of years of cultivation?" the horned giant sneered. "We humans don't need that much time. Today, I will show you why the human race will forever soar to the stars," the -haired youth said, dashing toward the horned giant. Space itself seemed to explode as their weapons clashed. --- "How... how is this possible?" the horned giant gasped, lying on the g, his body covered in blood. The -haired youth stood imposingly over him, his sword pointed at the giant's throat. "How? Well, it all started about 50 years ago," the youth began. About 50 years ago, Earth was a vibrant place teeming with life and happiness. Technological advancemts had reached new heights, and ambitious nations had finally succeeded in sding people to Mars for exploration. Over the years, many were able to permantly relocate to the red planet. Although interstellar space travel hadn't be fully achieved, humanity was on track to accomplish it. Life was good. The Sustainable Developmt Goals (SDGs) had be met, ushering in a new age of prosperity. The third world war never happed, and trade on the blockchain tered a revolutionary phase. Slowly but surely, humans were gearing toward a new era—an era that promised to set them on the path of evolution and help them attain their true pottial. Unbeknownst to them, that evolution was nearer than they anticipated. Nobody knew what was discussed behind closed doors, but after t days of secret negotiations, the humans and the Ice People signed a treaty of peace and mutual cooperation. The six human heroes would soon be known as the 6 Overlords. Not long after, a powerful warrior from the Ice People joined their ranks, making them the 7 Overlords. This new alliance betwe the two races thrust humanity into a new era of prosperity, setting the stage for a brighter future. Life gradually improved as brave souls vtured out to hunt monsters, striving to grow stronger. Through their combined efforts, both the human race and the Ice People discovered new mineral reserves, thanks to their hanced strgth and advanced technology. Spiritual Qi became the cornerstone of daily life. People cultivated it, and in doing so, they began to ascd through various realms. The mysterious scre that appeared upon awaking revealed the stages of power: Awaked, Ascded, Master, Grandmaster, Saint, and more. As humanity advanced, they realized that monsters and zombies grew stronger too. In response, the various unions implemted reward systems, inctivizing warriors to vture into the wild and hunt down these ever-evolving threats. For a time, this balance held, and prosperity seemed within reach. However, 30 years later, a disturbing discovery was made: newborns were no longer awaking like their predecessors. Powerful parts, desperate to sure their childr's strgth, began capturing monsters, forcing their childr to kill them in hopes of triggering an awaking. But despite their efforts, the childr remained ordinary humans. Panic swept through society as the future of the human race seemed uncertain. However, after several tse weeks, a revelation came to light. Newborns possessed special mutation ges, which could only be awaked wh they turned 6. This discovery brought hope back to humanity and ushered in a new era of expectations for the younger geration. A special drug was created, designed to stimulate the latt mutation ges in those who had not yet awaked. Wh the first batch of youths used it, the results were astonishing—they became significantly stronger than the previous gerations. From that point forward, everything began to fall back into place. Power still lay in the hands of the strong, while the weak could only dure. Forty-five years into the apocalypse, yet another new race emerged—the Sea Borns, who claimed 70% of the oceans. Unlike the initial hostility faced by the Ice People, the Sea Borns were welcomed more smoothly. They brought their unique technologies and cultures, integrating into the new global order. Evtually, the 7 Overlords became 8, and from there, fate continued to shape the world. As powerful families maintained their dominance, new giuses were born daily. The arrogance of the strong persisted, and while life appeared good on the surface, beath it all, the power struggles, betrayals, and conflicts never ceased. But all of this would change. One fateful day, a boy—a boy who had be overlooked by everyone, a boy who wanted nothing more than to buy a house in the city and make his mother happy—would awak. That boy was Klaus. On his 6th birthday, Klaus would awak, not as just another warrior, but as the last paragon. His awaking would usher in a new era, one that would shake the heavs and challge the deepest abyss. His legd was about to begin, and it would turn the tides of history in ways no one could have predicted.
