Synopsis
Strange system captures a time on Earth where Science fiction is more than an imaginable work. A boy seeks answers and desires to grow stronger because of the challenges that lies ahead, and he is aware he can't do it alone. Earth transformed completely after the war by the Human Race against an Alien race which we came to know as the CrawVets. Before the attack, this Aliens had been discovered but the Government chose to keep it away from the public. This Aliens are known for world domination as they have taken over most planets outside our solar system, but they have a flaw which they need to correct. The possible cure is a mineral we only discovered through this creatures. After walking and working in the shadows, they decide to attack. The war was unpredicted, and the humans were in for more surprises than one, which we have to live with for a long time. Discoveries were made during and after the War, and in order to help the humans fare against this dreadful Aliens the Elite Team Of Hunters (ETH) was formed. The ETH was a special group that converted beast ores to weapons and gears this special squad gave the human race a slight nodge against the CrawVets, well at least for most part of the War.The effect and efforts from Elite Team Of Hunters was still not enough to defeat the CrawVets, but the tides of the war turned for the better for the humans after another group came into action in Favour of the humans, we later referred this group as the OLDS. The Olds were a larger group than the ELITE TEAM OF HUNTERS, and they wielded extraordinary capabilities which we refer to as Abilities. Thanks to their introduction, we were able to scare off the CrawVets, but we still prepare for the War to come. The Olds pass on the secrets of their powers in ability books and ability gems, to prepare the humans for the War against the CrawVets. After the war the system of the world changed drastically, advanced technology was taken into consideration, the war also led to the discovery of planets which are being explored by the ETH and beast of different tiers. Jack Hops was sadly one of the many victims of the war that lasted for over one year. He lost his parents at just age three, but only got to find out by his Grandpa who took care of him ever since, and at age 7 he got adopted by Mr Hops. Life was easy ever since, but everything was about to change after going to school with his step brother Lexius Hops. A gift handed to him by his Grandpa grants him a system a strange system, and at the cost of his step brother. The system is able to help him grow in strength at an amazing speed but he has to keep it a secret. He hardly sees the system as a gift, but looks at it as a curse but ultimately he makes some decisions that will push him to grow stronger to prepare for the war, and get the answers he needs. Luckily for him he makes some adventurous friends who are also hell-bent on uncovering some mysteries the government has been hiding from them, as well as working together to grow stronger. Jack needs all the help he can get and his friends would also need his help as well. His Grandpa is not excluded and is entangled in the web, Jack believes his Grandpa would have some answers and he is hell-bent on finding him. Will the group actually get the answers they seem or would they be faced with questionable challenges? I believe that's up to you to find out.

Chapter 1 - School

CHIRP, CHIRP. The birds sang through the air at the break of dawn.

Aw man, that was sure a good night sleep. Oh man it's Monday, damn it's Monday woohoo. The excited boy quickly jumps up from bed, damn I gotta go prepare. Hope Lex is up already. He quickly gets his bed done, and.....

Ok now I'll be doing the whole narrating stuff now on. Ok, I'm Jack Hops and I guess you guys are wondering why today's so special. Ok, am gonna clear you all on that.

Today is a big day, not only to me and definitely not just in this locality as well. I'm so excited cos today I get to go to school.

You guys still don't get it right? That's not a problem though I'll explain as we progress, right now I've got to go hit the showers, afterwards am gonna go check on Lex.

Jack rushes to the bathroom.....

Sorry Jack but how do you intend to narrate what your doing as well as others. Am meant to be the omniscient here (voice said angrily).

Guess your right, but am gonna be narrating my own part, hope you understand.

Fine have it your way (voice replied).

Sorry about that guys, I promise we ain't gonna have any more interruptions.

After some minutes in the shower, Jack hurries down to get breakfast, and he sees Lex readily dressed and waiting for him in the dining.

Good morning ma. Jack said with a beaming smile.

Good morning Jack, I see your excited about school.

Yes ma.

That's great, hope you both packed your things, cos your Dad's in the car waiting.

I sure did, lex answered with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Minutes later they were both done eating. Jack hurries upstairs to get his luggage down. Well, it was just one bag. They both only needed to carry important stuff since their Dad would make arrangements for their clothing and etc.

Come give mama a hug.

They both gave their mum a hug, before making their way out of the house.

Mama's gonna miss you both, and remember if you guys need anything or you guys wanna talk just call home. Jack take care of yourself and your little brother. Mum said with a smile.

Ok ma will do. They both hurriedly leave the house. They both get their stuff into the boot of the car, afterwards they hop in, saying their greetings to their dad Mr Hops.

Bet you boys are ready for school, and I hope you all brought what you need cos it's gonna be a long drive.

Yes Dad we did. Lex answered.

Mr Hops starts the journey as he drives cooly to their destination.

Ok voice I'll take it from here. Now am a bit relaxed, am gonna try explaining what has happened to the world and the Human race. The earth, the world and yes the planets as well. 14 years ago Earth faced an attack by some aliens we have Come to know as the CrawVets. Although the attack had come as a little surprise. This was due to the fact that this creatures were discovered 100 or so years before the attack. They were discovered in small groups of 5-7, but this creatures had ten times the strength and speed of a regular Human. Their senses were also modified but they lacked the full sense of sight and prior to this they mostly operated during day time.

This was one of the reasons they decided to infiltrate earth, in hopes of getting rid of their defect. They operated secretly capturing some great scientist in order to achieve their objective. The earth as well had a natural resource that we soon discovered via their help ZODIUME. This was the cure to their defect, and after they were completely discovered the CrawVets decided to rage war. The discovery of the CrawVets though was kept a secret from the public by the World Power and Leaders, until the first attack on Earth.

The first attack wasn't funny at all cos it swept Half of South America. The attacks gradually started to decentralise, and the CrawVets focused on all the Continents. The Human race was unprepared, well the most of it were unprepared, and this resulted to countless of life's being taking.

The CrawVets used actual portals to transport their army, as well as different beast like creatures, this creatures varied according to their level of intelligence. The more intelligent the beast the more difficult it gets to defeat them. The major way we categorize this beast are based on seven tiers, do far this are the possible and maybe only tiers of beast out there. They included the Primary tier which was the lowest tier, followed by the Basic tier, the secondary tier, the Elementary tier, the Mega tier, the demi ghost tier and finally the strongest of them all, the Ghost tier beasts.

The Humans were on the losing side for the first Half of the war, before the Elite Team Of Hunters (ETH) stepped in.

While the war was ongoing, the defeated beasts were experimented on, via this experiments we invented beast gears and weapons gotten from the heart of the beasts. This discovery birthed the ETH, and they helped change the time of the war, well for a while. The war had lasted for a year, and for the first Half the humans were on the losing side before the ETH stepped in. But after a while the ETH were overwhelmed, but that soon led to a new discovery, the Olds were discovered.

The Olds were a group of Humans who wielded extraordinary capabilities, but they had kept it to their circle up until now. The Olds played a great part as the humans fought off the CrawVets. They had retreated, but still planned on attacking Earth sooner or later. I was only two about turning three when the war had ended. I had lost my parents after 8 months in the war front, I became an orphan, my only biological relative being my Grandpa. He had told me the story of how the war played out and how my parents lost their lives trying to save mine. After I turned 7 I was adopted by Mr Hops and was taken into the family. Grandpa visits once in a while and Mr Hops has been taken good care of me.

That's the story of the war guys, everything changed completely after the war, the world system and the school system as well. We've only Got one president in each Continent, but due to the war and South America being greatly affected by the war South and North America came together to form one Continent which is now known as Central Americat, so in total we have six presidents From the six continents Antarctica not being excluded from the list. After the War most of the Olds decided to teach and pass on this extraordinary capabilities which we refer today as Abilities. The basic knowledge on how to unlock this abilities are rooted in books known as ability books as well as ability gems. Now most humans based on their abilities can survive any environment on Earth and around the Universe.

Now that brings us to the school system which only has four stages as we are being prepared for the war. The first stage for kids within 5 years of age, the second stage for those within 7 years, the third stage for those within 14-18 years and the last stage for those within 20-24.

I would have attended the third stage 2 year's ago, but ma insisted o should wait for lex to turn 14. The subjects and the way lessons are thought are almost completely different from how you Know it. New subjects such as Beology which is the study of beast, Gemospar the study of gems, planetography the study of planets and etc.

We still have regular, sorry regular but modified subjects such as Math, Chemistry, History etc.

So I guess you guys already know why am so excited about going to school, ok voice you can take it on from hear.

After 20 more minutes driving, they finally stop at their destination.

Ok boys we're here. Mr Hops said with a smile as he exits the car.

Thank goodness, I can't stand Jack talking to himself, Lex complained.

I told you already am not talking to..... Jack could not complete his statement as he looked at the collosal gate which was some steps away from him. Jack was not the only one who was frozen as lex was too, the gate was huge and looked like it was made of silver, and the fence was huge as well, and it was almost impossible to see the end of the fence.

Ok boys let's go in shall we.
