Crocs_is_Dead

The world was never the same after that day.

Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about.

Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe.

Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction.

The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. 

They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. 

They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival.

Until the Great Calamities appeared. 

In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts.

One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. 

Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. 

Why?

For what reason were they punished so? 

Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place.

He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. 

“It can only be me.”

He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories.

He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. 

And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. 

That was his sacred duty as its final survivor.

Transcendent Gene

Frankly, the Old Lady knew this conversation was coming.

Gio was always that type of kid.

He loved to explore, he loved to grow stronger, he loved to fight, and he loved to rebel.

He looked for ways to use his Original Gene for combat and tried his best to create a foundation so he could eventually be scouted.

He had been trying for so long without saying anything to anyone, but she'd noticed it.

After all, she was always watching over him.

The Gio who existed in the old timeline was nothing like the one she knew. He had an aversion to the battlefield and always preferred smaller roles in the backline. Even when he did great things, he tried to hide his achievements as much as possible so he could maintain his stable life.

It was a surprise that he didn't start that way.

He started as the rebellious child the Old Lady knew.
