《Paravir》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Humanity always aims to create, research and develop more and more. As expected, the more advanced the technology humanity has, the more they realise how much they can still improve. The pursuit of technology is full of ups and downs, conflicts, and losses.
Humanity reached a level where complete terraformation was no longer a problem, So the great powers in the world agreed to establish a research institution that had wings on each continent and only employed the most outstanding scientists. The powers agreed that each of them could only work and can have achievements in one field of technology to reduce the chances of future conflicts. They have agreed that the US can research and focus on space technology. China was granted great industrial powers. The EU chose healthcare. These were the main fields they agreed to divide themselves.
But things changed after US scientists were able to analyse and better understand black holes. Thanks to the new discoveries, they managed to create an alternative source of power. First, they tested the performance of this new source, but it was expensive at the beginning to produce. It required a lot of time and resources to start, and this project was halted and later abandoned. But one day, a young scientist started reworking this project. This scientist achieved one of the greatest achievements. She managed to replicate and create a reactor that alone produced enough energy to sustain almost the whole consumption of the US.
In her process, she realised the flaws of her project and creation, refused to work on it, and even warned everyone that this is a level of technology that can not be played with. But they didn't listen to her, and the project was given to others, but they couldn't recreate what that one scientist had achieved. Many years had passed since the woman gave up on the project, and those who worked on it all failed, except for one individual, a new scientist, who was no other than the child of the creator of this project.

Two days after he started working on the project, his mother vanished, and he was taken to Africa to continue his research there. He was at that time only 19 years old; however, in a year, he managed to recreate his mother's invention. He was working on creating a miniature black hole to use for his studies and even implementing it to his mother's invention. Unfortunately, the project failed, and the whole building exploded on September 23 2065.
The explosion was not devastating but created a strange object. In the centre of the explosion, a crack appeared in the air. And through that crack, some sort of gas came. At first, no one seemed to really care about the gas and the crack; they took the injured to the nearest hospital to be treated. After the area was evacuated, the gas leaking stopped. Little did the people know what that gas and crack were.
In the hospital, every scientist and worker died except for the man who was the head of the project. He was taken back to the USA, and about a week after he was transported, a new virus appeared in the world. The virus was spreading slowly but was very lethal and painful. Over 1 Billion people were infected, and less than 1 million survived before the cure was finally completed. However, after about a year had passed, those who were infected and survived changed. First, their habits and personality were slightly changed. But as time went by, they slightly changed physically.
Two years after the accident, everyone who was infected and survived gained some sort of ability, trait or skill that was not human-like. Some gained extraordinary reflexes. Some attained inhuman sight. Or there were some who were gifted with superstrength.
The era of a new society had begun.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

One day, he encountered a dark energy that changed him. It merged with him. Now, with his newly found powers he was granted the opportunity to retaliate. All he desires is to find answers and get in control of his own fate.
