《G.E.A.R - The Study Of Nanomana》Prolouge
Advertisement
In the distant future, when the calendar has surpassed 5 digits, mankind has advanced. The discovery of a particle smaller than the atom led to a great change around the world.
Nanomana, a particle so tiny that it would’ve taken forever to discover if it weren’t for some random accident in a certain lab. Anyways, nanomana was a rare particle, unlike the abundant amount of atoms. So far, humans have only discovered 2 of these so called “wonder particles”,
What does nanomana do? If used correctly, one nanomana can power the world’s electronics for several thousand years. One nanomana can replace the sun after it dies out.
The world leaders thus poured their resources into creating ways to find more nanomana. Space exploration developed, and thus the [AR Program] was created.
[AR Program]. Meaning Advance Reconnoiterer, specially designed robots would travel the vast empty space and collect nanomana.

G.E.A.R. - Generation Eleven Advance Reconnoiterer
Series Details: The product of thousands o years of research, based on the Generation 10 series. The G10 was considered the pinnacle of human technology, but G.E.A.R has a self evolving function that would make it’s potential leagues better than the G10 series. Using Bio-Tech, G.E.A.R. is an ever-changing being.
Capable of calculating tetrabytes of information instantly, it has copied the internet into it’s head. It can also act as an organic being if necessary to experiment with the biology of otherworld species.
G.E.A.R. was launched in XXXXX and is now scanning the milky way for nanomana.

[Review Mission: Scan The Surrounding Space For Nanomana]
In the vast emptiness of space, a floating egg started to transform. Turning into a diamond shape, it flew straight while scanning the surrounding areas.

After several years of doing this, G.E.A.R. has reached the area around the sun. Although it cannot get too close to the sun, G.E.A.R. had a high tolerance to heat, and was able to safely gather data.

Forming before the diamond shaped robot, a figure of a man appeared. The man? was unusual, having no distinct features. He was colorless, had no face, no skin. In fact, it was more appropriate to say that the man is nothing more than gas.
“Ah, humans really have progressed too far. It’s always a shame that civilization cannot reach past a certain standard. At this rate, the secret of immortality will be discovered. It’s a shame, but humanity has to end.”
The man slowly started to morph into something. Words cannot describe its form completely, but the best description for him would be that he became the embodiment of energy. With the appearance of his new form…
…humanity ended.
All living creatures on earth disappeared, leaving a barren world. At a deeper level, their souls were destroyed, the energy causing the world of earth to change. Gravity flickered, friction disappeared, temperature rapidly changed.
The earth started to collapse inwards, as if destroying itself. Soon, the planet was no more.
“Ah, my job here is done. Oh wait, I forgot to create life. Hmm, luckily we have a suitable planet to host the next generation of hominums. Might as well use the resources from these other planets. Actually, why don’t I just combine all these planets together. Okay! It looks like I’ll work on this planet for a while.”

As the being who wiped out humanity continued to work, G.E.A.R. was having an internal breakdown.
[Warning! Host Signal Has Been Lost!]
[Warning! Set Destination Has Been Lost!]
[Warning! Interstellar Map Is Currently Going Through Drastic Changes!]
Several other warnings went off in G.E.A.R. and it has concluded that since it has no objective and no master to listen too, it should just observe the strange being’s actions.
[Scanning… Large Amounts Of Nanomana Are Being Manipulated In A Strange Way. Radiation Levels Are Increasing In The Surrounding Areas. It Is Advised That The Host Leaves Immediately.]
“Oh my! What an interesting toy these humans made. An intelligent creature without a soul. It’s similar to a robot, but it has self awareness. Hmm, if it had a soul, I wonder what kind of interesting things this will do?”
“Scanning… It has been determined that nanomana can interfere with the laws of the universe. Now gathering the surrounding nanomana. Creating a storage tank to contain the nanomana. Now constructing the basic formula for planet creation - Progress: 0.000001%]
“Wow, without a clear goal, he started to observe my actions. Unfortunately, he has too little knowledge to be able to create a planet like me. Maybe I should let him get some more knowledge on magic. Hmm, is there a suitable world? Oh yeah! This planet should be only concentrating on developing magic right now. If he combined his knowledge of science with magic…”
Turning back into a man shaped being, he opened a gate in space. A strong suction force pulled G.E.A.R. into it, and the hole closed.
“That’s done. Now to continue to work on this planet. I’ll check on him once I’m done, which will probably be in a few thousand years or so."

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
