In the endless wastelands beneath twin moons, the Sunlit Squad reigns as a band of raiders, striking against the oppressive Galactic Order. But on one fateful raid, they uncover something impossible—a baby, cradled in the wreckage of an Order transport.

Not just any child. A bio-engineered human, a relic of a species long thought extinct.

Raised among outlaws, Adam-101 grows at an unnatural pace—stronger, faster, and more intelligent than any normal being. By five, he is already outpacing grown warriors. By six, he discovers a power within him: the ability to move objects with his mind,and has the ability to sense danger.

But in a world where humans were wiped out for being inferior, what does that make Adam? A survivor? A weapon? A mistake?

The Galactic Order's Conquest of Earth:

The Galactic Order is a powerful union of planets and civilizations spread across the Andromeda and Milkyway galaxies. With over 340 planets of intelligent life out of the 780 known habitable worlds, the Order holds an unwavering dominion over most of the stars. Their civilization, ancient and far beyond humanity's reckoning, first encountered Earth when humans had just crossed into Level 1 of the Kardashev Scale in 2325. At this time, Earth had made their first successful attempts at harnessing the planet's full energy potential, catching the attention of intergalactic travelers.

The Galactic Order's arrival was swift, indifferent, and brutal. When they found humanity, they deemed them a primitive species, nothing more than a fleeting obstacle in their vast, intergalactic agenda. To them, humanity was beneath notice, and wiping out an entire planet was no more significant than a rounding error in their daily budget.

But Earth held value. It was rich in natural resources and uniquely positioned in space, a prime asset to the Order's dominion. The humans were swiftly eradicated, and Earth itself was annexed, its inhabitants replaced with alien immigrants from across the cosmos. The once-proud home of humanity was now a conquered world.

As the Order's dominance grew, a darker desire took root among the elite of the new settlers. The Adam Project was born—a scheme to create bio-engineered humans in the image of their alien overlords. The new breed of humanity was molded to serve, whether as pets for the wealthy, guards for their estates, or entertainers for the ever-growing crowds of tourists visiting the now-transformed Earth. These new humans were not designed for freedom or individuality, but for obedience and exhibition.

Over the centuries, the planet underwent radical terraforming. The once familiar ecosystems were wiped away and replaced with artificial landscapes, teeming with alien creatures and plants imported from distant worlds. The humans' original home was no longer recognizable; even its resources were depleted, funneled into the luxurious enclaves where the Order's elite lived. The common areas, once lush and teeming with life, were stripped bare and transformed into mere destinations for wealthy travelers.

By the year 3000, Earth had become little more than a tourist attraction—a hollow shell of its former self, preserved in an alien image. The rich came and went as they pleased, but the rest of the world, now a barren wasteland in many parts, existed solely to serve their whims. The few remaining bio-engineered humans, now little more than entertainment, wandered the forgotten corners of the world, unsure of their place in a society that saw them as commodities.

The Galactic Order had succeeded in their goal, remaking Earth in their own image. But in the process, they had unwittingly erased the very essence of what made the planet unique—and with it, the history of the species that had once called it home.
