《SCION OF EVIL》PROLOGUE
Advertisement
In the year 2100 Humanity faced the greatest disaster it has ever faced in its entire history. Huge rifts open around the world in space time. Human beings faced near extinction in this era of great disaster. These rifts opened gate way to other worlds with magic and demons. Then happened the “day of Armageddon”. On this day, all the 10 parallel worlds and our earth merged together in spacetime. And began the era of a new age of monsters, Heroes, Demons, and magic. But this new age came at the price of nearly half the human lives. As almost half the human population was eliminated either by the tsunami and earthquake that happened due to the geological changes happening on Earth or were killed by the demons that came from other worlds or the monster that were created by the mutation of animals presents on the earth.
The demons that came from other worlds were not actually new to earth. Just that these demons existed as nothing more than simply myths like dragon, fairies, goblins, Asura, Vampires, Werewolves etc. But that does not mean that all these demons had any kinds of intelligence. These were just beings with huge strength and ability to control elements (in a way magic). Although some of them had high intelligence like Dragon, Asura and Mermaids but due to their physiology and sociology they didn’t posed much threat to humanity. These demons were just another variety of animals that had supernatural strength and powers. Meanwhile the plants and animals on earth also underwent mutations. Even the plants and animals on earth turned into monsters that had massive strength and elemental control or magical ability. So, when humanity thought that these demons would take over the planet. The indigenous plants and animals’ species of earth got powers that rivalled these demons and as such they started fighting back. As a result, a stalemate was achieved between the Demons and the monsters of Earth.
But the only species that seemed to head towards the doom was human being. Neither we gained powers nor strength. It appeared as if God had abandoned humanity. But no matter how precarious the situation might be, human beings had always adapted and survived. When there was darkness everywhere a ray of hope came. Humanity discovered that although humanity had not gained any powers, it had gained the ability to sign blood pact with the monsters and demons. Most of the modern weapons humanity had were useless against these demons or monsters. But through blood contract not only humans could talk with monsters and demons but also control them and use them to fight against other monsters and demons that posed much threat to humanity. Also, human beings gained some powers of the monster they are in contract with and some abilities similar to that of their contracted monsters or demons if the monsters or demons wished so. These powers were extraordinarily rare, and these were called gifts. This allowed human beings to protect themselves against smaller monster and demons and helped them to fight against other monster and demons. Also, humanity discovered that these monsters did not only mutated once but they were evolving continuously until they lost their potential to evolve. The monsters which did a blood contract with the humans evolved much faster than the monster and demons in the wild and hence the monsters were also benefited from this contract. And thus, began an era of magic, monsters and people known as yodha who had a blood contract with the demons and monsters.

Slowly with the help of yodhas and their monsters, after a decade, humanity began to rise and reclaimed its place on earth. The world that humans knew before ten years ago was no longer there. Earth was now the size of Jupiter but still the gravity remained the same due to a parallax that originated in the earth core that scientist believed to have resulted from the merging of ten worlds. During the Armageddon the satellites were all fried, after the Reestablishment of human society, a decade after, human being finally again launched satellites and found that now 60% of earth surface was land and 40% was water. Considering the fact that Earth was now the size of Jupiter, this was a huge portion of land and ocean. Scientist believed these extra lands and water to be parts of the ten worlds that merged.
With the coming of magic and new biology due to mutations and evolution, science caught up to it quite quickly and now fusion drive energy reactors, Super healing serums, hyper drive engines etc. were invented and laser guns and energy shield were no longer science fiction. Humanity turned a great calamity to its fortune. This proved the power of human’s adaptability.
Combined with advanced technology and yodhas and their monster and demon contracts, humans now ruled half the earth. 50% of the land surface and 50% of the water bodies were now governed by human beings. The rest of the area of the land and ocean were occupied by extraordinarily strong demons and monsters. Considering the size of the new earth, which was as big as Jupiter, the land under human control was already far bigger than the surface area of 64 earth before the Armageddon. The rest of the land remain unexplored and a new era of exploration began for the human beings. Vast stretch of land and oceans were open for human to explore with lots of treasure as well as new monster and demons to be discovered. But these discoveries came with a huge risk to life, so these brave new explorers were viewed as heroes across the world.

After the Armageddon, the world was in turmoil there was no law and order in the society. But with huge efforts and perseverance, humanity came through these perilous times and a new “WORLD FEDERATION GOVT.” was set up in order to help humanity fight monsters and demons and to also set up order in the world. During this huge turmoil, the world became one. There were continental govt. like Federation of Asia, Empire of Britannia, Federation of America, African Union, Kingdom of Oceania. But they joined together to form the WORLD FEDERATION GOVT. which controlled the world military and maintained law and order in the society.
Initially only the govt. and the military could control monsters and demons meaning only military could control these YODHAS. But as the time went on govts. all around the world realized that they couldn’t fight with the big monsters and demons like this, hence now anyone can be a Yodha and keep monsters and demons. As a result, many new business and powerhouses emerged in this new era.
A few decades after the Armageddon Some new portals appeared around the world That poured new demons and other alien life form into our world. But this time humanity was ready to face them. Not only humanity won over those new demons with its new technologies and the power of Yodhas. But some new alien life form that came to this world decided to form an alliance with humanity seeing its tremendous might and potential. With this new alliance, humanity got the knowledge of these new beings too and the mystery of the Armageddon was solved. The Armageddon was a result of the merging of the 10 parallel earths, this anomaly in spacetime is also due to which these portals are now appearing on Earth. Humanity and its alliance partners devised a technique to open portals between their worlds at their will so as to fight this unprecedented event. But there were many other beings of different worlds that did not wanted peace but rather to rule the worlds as such they attacked earth and various other worlds at different time hence the importance of Yodha increased even more.
So, lets follow our protagonist Rudra and his antics, on his path of… Well you will find out.

8 128Fabrication
Welcome to the Winter Sector. This is your first time here, isn’t it? Waking up in the lands of snow with little to no thoughts of your past must be rough. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. The vast plains of snow hold dominant around here, little to no bumps to be seen, no hills or craters. A white desert. Mountain ranges can be seen from afar. A forest somewhere down a cliff. Rare caverns here and there. Also, structures can be found abandoned. Going through these white lands is dangerous alone, perhaps get yourself a guide, or hold a map and a compass. But no matter how better you traverse, the abstracted distance would never change. If you had the unlucky start of waking up here, then let’s hope you find someone to give you clothes and shelter. The is beyond survivable. Unlike the other sectors, the Winter Sector doesn’t care to make things easy for newcomers. There are going to be tons of questions, most of which would be unanswered until you reach the end of the road. Unnatural things, abnormal dreams, anomalous scenes. This isn’t the world you were born in. Though it might look it, it won’t act like it.
