In a small run down apartment an extremely skinny child who had a scar running from his chest to his lower abdomen could be seen on the floor watching the news and mumbling to himself while his mother Margaret Atah could be seen in the kitchen making dinner for him and his little sister Anny Atah.
Life wasn't easy on them as they had just lost their father Mr John Atah and two sisters Louis and Hannah Atah, to a pack of bloodthirsty wolves blood hound who bridged the city walls and went on a killing spree.
About 100 years ago there was a sudden mysterious event that happened all over the world,that day was know as the day of chaos. A day in which a mysterious essence called mana was introduced into the world and with it came a series of unfortunate events. First came the rumbling, earth quakes and world wild tsunami which wiped out 15 percent of the population, then came the bloodthirsty beast tides which doomed many people and reduced cities to ruins.
All weapon on earth failed as they where only able to eliminate the weakest of the weak beast.
Humanity was facing a global extinction and as all hope seemed to be lost , a select group of people awakened a mysterious power which helped them resist the bloodthirsty beasts.with their mysterious power they helped bring a semblance of peace to the otherwise chaotic place Earth has become.
This group of people where called the awakened as they where believed to be blessed and favoured by the heavens.
Of course they where those who saw the introduction of mana as a curse and a divine punishment from God for all our sins, also they were those who viewed the introduction of mana as the next step of evolution and lastly there was also the fantastic who created cults called The enlightened ones and started new religion and made sacrifice to their presumed God Ewah.
The fanatics believed this was a test from there God Ewah who wanted to test them . They claimed that Ewah would lead them to salvation after they successfully pass the test he gave and the sacrifice they make is a way for them to thank Ewah for the mysterious power he has bestowed upon his chosen.
The members of the cults and the high priestess who calls herself the eyes of Ewah where largely wanted around the world for the gruesome crimes they cause.
The ranking of the cults starts from the priestest who is believed to receive divine message and enlightenment from Ewah and performs sacrifice to their god Ewah, then comes deacons a group of twelve people who assists the priestest and choose appropriate people to be sacrificed to Ewah, then comes the apostle, people who preach the gospel of Ewah and find recruit ,then comes the guards who keeps everything in other and punish those who break the rules, then comes the high members, those who makes donation to the cults and lastly the regular members,those who has nothing to offer and are only there to worship Ewah.
With the introduction of mana came the scientist who tried to research mana and effective ways it could be used . Fields like manalogy(study of mana), physiology of mana(how mana change the physical structure of the body making it stronger and more resilient)and beastology (study of beast).
Special craft like making of weapons and armors from beast hides,claws and bones came out. The beast crystals could also be used to make pills that could be used to improve once cultivation and strengthen there cultivation.Some part of some beast body could be used for medicinal purposes.Job opportunity like mana stone mining came out.mana stone could be gotten from areas with dense quantity of mana, these mana solidifies into a solid form which could be mined and they came with different ranks.
New age technology and research center, Natrc for short came out Lead by the chief researcher Mr sahid Mooka and his assistant Mr Leo baggo, humanity made improvement in terms of technology, they introduced Mana train which used mana stones as a source of fuel.They also created Mana barrier which would be put around a city to stop beast from entering and causing destruction.They where the top research and technology company in the world with the best of the best researchers working under them.
Due to the bloodthirsty beast , traveling outside of the mana barrier was dangerous and considered suicidal. One has to be extremely powerful to be able to travel from one city to another or one has to be extremely rich to get awakens to protect them to another city. Even then traveling was still deadly to even the awakens as strong beast roam around the wild and one accounter with a deadly beast could kill them.
