Chapter 01: Humanity on the planet Plutren

"We don't live on earth anymore, so... why do we act like we still are?", mused Arthur as he played volleyball on a spacious court. With the ball in the air, he took two steps forward and performed a perfect lift to his right, past a triple block.

"I hate playing in this heat, so why do I subject myself to this?", he asked himself, watching his successful attack. "Ah, yes... it's worth it when I win", he concluded, hearing the sound of the whistle indicating the end of the game.

While his team celebrated the victory, the boy sighed and picked up a bottle of water to hydrate. After drinking, he put the bottle away and realized he was no longer excited about the celebrations. Grabbing his backpack, he decided to leave.

— Hey! Where are you going? May I know who you are?

On the way home, a hand suddenly touched his shoulder. Surprised, he turned around and saw a young man with blonde hair, green eyes and very sweaty.

— My name is Arthur. Do you have something to do with me? — With the question, he distanced himself silently, but quickly.

The boy was surprised by his speed of movement, his eyes widened.

"Did I exaggerate? What the fuck, I just want to go home.” The blonde's blunt attitude bothered him.

— I was watching the match, it was incredible! Your lifts are perfect — He praised Arthur's skills. At the end of the sentence, the boy had his hand in his hair — which covered his face. That's when he himself asked:

— Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Finn. — Finn held out his hand, as a sign for length.

— Okay, everything okay, do you need anything? I have to go — Arthur completed the length, asking why he had stopped.

— Well, if it's okay with you, could you give me your contact information?

Releasing his hand and looking into the blonde boy's green eyes, Arthur didn't care much about sharing his contact with Finn and activated his technological ring.

“Most of the time they are beautiful and hot girls”, as soon as he heard the noise that confirmed the contact save, he left saying: — Until next time. — Disregarding any response from the boy.

Arthur arrived home in a short time. His home was a spacious but simple residence, with a backyard, a large living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Upon entering, he quietly murmured: — I've arrived. — Then he threw his backpack on the floor, closed the door and heard the sound of rain.

“I almost wouldn't have gotten soaked”, he thought, as he headed to the bathroom. On the way, he took off his clothes and, as soon as he opened the bathroom door, he ordered:

— Ring, play the book 'The beginning of humanity on the planet Plutren' out loud. .

As he turned on the shower, he felt the cold water. First, he wet his hair and then his neck, feeling chills as his entire body was underwater.

“I need to get my brain working,” Arthur thought, waiting. the ring begins to reproduce the book.

“On an ordinary day, humanity still inhabited the Earth and was immersed in issues of power, wars and politics. Suddenly, people began to disappear without a trace. The first time this was recorded was during a live broadcast of a young girl who was suddenly enveloped in white light and disappeared. Initially, people thought it was a joke, but they soon realized it was something very serious.

Every month, 600 people disappeared, shrouded in a mysterious white light, causing terror throughout the world. Since no one could explain what was happening, the government could do nothing but offer compensation to the victims' families. Thus, humanity had to accept this abnormal situation.

Two millennia passed and the Earth came to an end, leaving behind a humanity destroyed by disease, pollution, meteors and a desolate solar system. However, a new era has begun, a human evolution.”

Turning off the shower, Arthur covered himself only with a small towel and headed towards his room — wetting the floor with each step. a> “Those who believed that the end of humanity was inevitable were wrong. Those who mysteriously disappeared were somehow transported to another planet, named Plutren by the first surviving civilization. However, a lot has happened since humans were transported. Kicking over some books, he headed to the kitchen and grabbed a small pot, which he placed on the fire, adding water and rice inside. Then he opened the refrigerator, took out some pieces of chicken and began to prepare his lunch. “Dad is so handsome!” With that thought, he left the room. As he passed through the room, he noticed that the house was completely messed up: sheets, notebooks, books, notes and various other things were scattered across the floor. Observing himself, he saw a thin and pale young man, looking to be around 16 to 17 years old, reflected in the glass. He had dark hair that covered part of his forehead and large, deep blue eyes, thin lips and white teeth. He had a noble appearance, but empty, expressionless and with small dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as he dried off, he put on a black coat, underwear and shorts. He put on a pair of sandals and went to a mirror.

Although humans managed to settle on Plutren, it took 700 years for them to adapt. This was mainly due to the fact that they were the weakest species on the planet. From the beginning, they were hunted and killed by the strongest and largest animals, seen as food.

The humans who once ruled the Earth and worried about frivolous things now struggled to survive, as they had become becoming the weakest species in the food chain. They were intelligent, but they did not have the strength to fight the monsters that now rule the planet.

After much struggle and persistence, a civilization was finally built. However, humans continued to be dominated by monsters, for although they had intelligence, they still lacked strength.”

With everything prepared, Arthur grabbed a plate and served himself some rice and fried chicken. . So, with his plate in hand, he went to the living room where he sat on the sofa.

The boy, the moment he felt comfortable in the seat, ate the food, finding the knowledge wonderful.< /span>That was the message Arthur had been waiting for for years. Now, finally, he could explore the world outside the city, meet new people, try new flavors and finally put his plan of learning magic into practice. “Arthur Karl Silva, you have just turned 15 and are therefore authorized to go to the city center. We will always be open and would like to welcome you.”So, as soon as he washed the dirty plate, he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes, ready to rest and recharge his energy. That's when he heard a message coming from his technology ring.— I'm full, nothing better than eating and then sleeping — said Arthur, turning off the reproduction option on the technological ring, while the rain was falling heavily outside.By absorbing mana, awakened humans were able to survive in the hostile and inhospitable environment of Plutren. And it was thanks to this vital energy that humanity managed to establish itself.”The discovery that children could die when coming into contact with the planet's toxic air was a major milestone in history of humanity, who immediately began an in-depth investigation in order to understand the phenomenon. This is how the existence of mysterious energies in the environment was discovered. Such energies, when absorbed by awakened humans, helped humanity survive on the hostile planet. The most common of these is known as mana.

“Awakening is an extraordinary phenomenon that occurs when a species manages to adapt to the conditions of a hostile environment. In the case of humans, for example, adaptation to Plutren was a matter of survival. This is because, when coming into contact with the air on this planet, humans under the age of 15 died instantly. This condition was one of the factors that made them the weakest species for 700 years.

“I was excited more than I imagined.”, he mentally sighed, sleeping peacefully to the sound of the rain outside with a smile on his face, ready to begin the new phase of his life.

"We don't live on earth anymore, so... why do we act like we still are?", mused Arthur as he played volleyball on a spacious court. With the ball in the air, he took two steps forward and performed a perfect lift to his right, past a triple block.
