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

Gio was different from the average young genius.

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with learning new styles and forms. They would always be helpful to have in his arsenal. However, Gio didn't have a need to build his own style.

He knew how he wielded a blade and was moving back towards a peak he'd already reached. He could further strengthen that peak by learning new things now, but that was just a matter of living and experiencing things.

When it came to training with an instructor… Well, it was safe to say that Jax was more than just a little confused.

From the first day, he realized there wasn't really much for him to teach.

When Gio asked for the second spar that day, Jax took it seriously. Instead of aiming for a quick win like the first time, he intentionally slowed his movements so Gio actually had a chance to respond.
