As the initial shock of the racial tokens subsided, Hye began to analyse the hierarchy of the grading system with a cold, administrative eye.
The colours weren't just for aesthetic rarity; they were a precise scale of mass-population displacement. By cross-referencing the data from several dozen tokens across all tiers, he finally cracked the code of the Hescos' categorisation.
The scale was staggering. A single White Token yielded one billion individuals—already an entire planet's worth of population by pre-apocalyptic standards.
The Green Tokens jumped to ten billion, while the Blue offered fifty billion. But it was the upper echelons that truly defied reason: Gold provided a hundred billion, Black held five hundred billion, and the Red Tokens, the most vibrant and heavy of the lot, contained a staggering one trillion souls trapped in stasis.
