Chapter 5: I will become human !

Several million years have passed since TON618 reached its first evolution.

In that time, he had watched civilizations arise and disappear repeatedly, seeing them flourish and collapse. This endless cycle gripped him more and more, and with each new observation he felt an invisible call to something greater. Finally, TON618 made a decision:

- I want to be a part of this story. I want to contribute to this brief moment called the life of civilizations.

He decided to choose a civilization that was on the verge of ending its cycle to help. This was his first step, the chosen civilization was not to be too powerful or highly advanced. It had to be in need of a 'miracle', a push for its further development. After much thought and observation, TON618 found what he was looking for - humans. They were quite advanced not only in science, but they had studied a force called "neons". This was the energy of the universe that TON618 himself was partially composed of even before his evolution. People who were immune to working with "neons" from birth were given extraordinary abilities. But humanity was on the verge of being threatened. Their planet, known as Earth FX12, was in one of the centers of interest of other races who were just waiting for the moment to take it and the galaxy it was in. TON618 had vast amounts of knowledge and data, capable of seeing the future. And his premonition was not a good one. He saw that without help, humanity could not withstand the onslaught of aggressive civilizations. So TON618 decided to intervene, but to do it in a way that would not disrupt the natural order of things.

His plan was to create a symbiote based on a human body that would allow it to integrate into human society. However, he realized that even the slightest bit of his power could destroy the human body. Therefore, he decided to seal his powers until his new body reached maturity. This was to happen at the age of 18 - when the body would be ready to accept the neon power he would pass on to himself.TON618 planned his "birth" to go through a full developmental cycle, training the human body and mind from childhood. He was confident that he could adapt the human body to a level sufficient to safely utilize even 0.1% of his own power. This process was difficult, but necessary in order to achieve harmony between his quark essence and human nature.

The second step, was to find the family he was to be born into. For TON618, this was a principled choice. He didn't want wealth or privilege, he didn't want to be born into a wealthy family, for that was contrary to his ideas. He chose an ordinary, poor family who had dreamed of having a child for ten years, but had never been able to fulfill that wish. They were good people by all standards, too good, but they suffered an injustice: they were kicked out of their home, leaving them homeless and without food. Traveling hungry, they struggled to survive.

- I'm going to do it - thought TON618.

He decided to become part of their world and help them. In the future choosing the name Zero, which meant zero. This name symbolized his identity: zero, absolute, the beginning of everything and yet nothing. He was an infinite power, but would become part of human life by following the rules of this world.

Neons are a special energy of the universe that is present in small amounts in certain galaxies and can give unique abilities to those beings who are able to harness it. Humans on Earth FX12 have learned how to work with neons, which has given them new opportunities to evolve. Before evolution, TON618 was 90% neon, but after evolution its core became an automatic infinite generator of this energy, at which point neons were no longer important to it.

Earth FX12 was one of the Earth-type planets that was inhabited by "pure" human beings. This planet was in the strategic center of the giants of the other planets, who saw it as a valuable resource. The capture of Earth by FX12 was only a matter of time, as the other planets and galaxies were engaged in a large and complex game, the goal of which was to conquer this planet and the galaxy where it is located. The winners of this struggle would gain control of it and its resources.
