Cain exhaled as he fell back on his bed, exhausted. He had failed so many times he forgot how many times he tried in the first place. He was currently a student taking the path of genetic evolution as all people dream to do. His parents died when he was young but left behind a small fortune, enough for him to last until now and enrol into school.

Unfortunately it seemed he had no talent whatsoever, he had always wanted to be a Genetic Warrior, but everyone in this world has the same dream so he was just one among the masses. The path of the Genetic Warrior was one of power, in this world, where the strong rule supreme, without power you can only sit back and be another one of the billions stuck in mediocrity.

Earth had long ago gone through a scientific explosion, space travel, teleportation, a whole universe to explore. The world was in a new golden age where heroes were being born everyday, but among the discovers the path of the genetic warrior was the greatest one. Human’s figured out how to dig deep into their own DNA and unravel the infinite power hidden in the human body.

Becoming a Genetic Warrior required talent but it was like a fish leaping across the dragon's gate. Once you become one, the treatment you receive is incomparable, wealth, women, power, anything you could ever want, you will get. Cain’s only hope left was to become a Genetic Warrior, his money was running out and if he fails to awaken his dormant genes, he will have to drop out of school and take whatever work was offered to him.

He refused to fail however, his will had already become unbreakable due to all the failures he had gone through. He constantly cultivated and searched his body, in hopes of finding a dormant gene to awaken, even among Genetic Warriors there were grades.

Some awaken weak genes, some awaken stronger ones, however just awakening a gene is enough, even if one’s gene is weak, they can strengthen and evolve it through hard work, and if they manage to awaken another gene and fuse it with their original gene, then they can create a higher level one. Though cases of people with weak genes overcoming the talented figures are rare, Cain just wanted hope, whether his gene was weak or not he didn't care, he just wanted to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

However after a full day of trying, he gave up. His body was completely out of fuel. He quickly checked his stats, this was a common gene given to people called the inner vision gene, that put the bodies strength into numerical value. The school gave one to every student as it was part of the enrollment fee.

This was why the rich got stronger, they didn't need to worry about awakening dormant genes, another way of gaining genes is by purchasing them and fusing them into their bodies. However for Cain who was already broke, this was naturally not a possibility, without the talent the only thing poor people can do is give up.

Cain used his inner look gene that he had long ago fused with and saw his stats pop up.

Strength: 1.5

Speed: 0.8

Defense: 1.5

Genes: Inner Vision : Level - 1

1 was the regular stat for a grown man, so Cain was a bit stronger than a regular person, but compared to Genetic Warriors he would get crushed with a single finger. All his years of training and he only had these stats to show for it, other people in his class had already awoken their genes and were just wondering which college they should head to, he however was worrying about what he was going to do in the future.

He was at the back of his class, his grades were good but in this world ruled with strength people didn’t really care what your grades were as long as you had the talent. Schools now focused completely on training youth to become Genetic Warriors, as long as you could become one of your grades were irrelevant.

On top of that the powerful were naturally smart, speed also raised a person's mind power, allowing them to process things faster. Even if they wanted to be stupid it was difficult. Tomorrow was the day of the final test, unless someone's overall stat average reached 2, they wouldn’t even be allowed to take the test.

Unless Cain managed to awaken a gene by some miracle, his path ended here. Cain quickly sat back up and refused to give up, his body was already strained to the limit and he was covered with sweat but his determination was stronger than ever. He proceeded to cultivate and entered his inner world, he saw the myriad of genes within him, however the vast majority of them were under lock and key and couldn't be awoken.

He had to find one that was open and then awaken it completely, gaining access to its genetic powers. Talented people had plenty of genes that were open for them to awaken, so their worries did not lay in finding a gene to awaken, but instead finding the best one. Cain had already looked through his body for years, since his first day of school when he started the process he hasn’t stopped, it had been four years since then and graduation was soon, but he had not even searched 1% of his body yet.

The body was akin to a universe, and each gene was a star. One would think that you would have no problem finding a gene to awaken in such a massive world, they would be wrong. Had they been so simple to find everyone would be a Genetic Warrior. Suddenly as Cain was searching for what seemed to be his last time, he saw something, a small star that was completely black, had he not be focusing hard enough he would have missed it completely. Comparing this star to the others was like comparing an ant to an elephant, Cain didn’t care and his heart pounded with excitement as he dove right towards this small insignificant star.
