A thousand years had passed, and Earth… well, it wasn't the Earth people once knew. The sky wasn't the limit anymore—it had become home. Cities floated, stacked like pancakes in the sky, glittering with lights, humming with life. But only a lucky few lived up there. The rest? Still stuck below, looking up.
Science had broken boundaries. Diseases were gone, machines could think, and teleportation—yeah, that was the real game-changer. Step into a pod, close your eyes, and boom—you're across the country. Across the ocean. Across… well, much more than that, if you knew the real deal.
Because here's the thing: teleportation wasn't just about skipping traffic or saving time. Not for everyone.
There was a secret. One so deep, so hidden, that barely anyone knew it existed. A few people—only a few—had discovered how to use teleportation to go beyond Earth. Not metaphorically. Literally. Alien worlds. Planets that no one on Earth had even heard of, let alone named.
And these planets? They weren't empty.
They were wild. Dangerous. Alive.
Strange creatures ruled them—some as fast as lightning, some with skin like rock, others so intelligent they could destroy you with a thought. Not sci-fi monsters. Real beings. And here's where it gets even weirder: if you killed one of them, you could absorb their energy. No one knew exactly how it worked, but it did. Their power became yours.
It was like something out of a myth. A warrior collecting the souls of his enemies to grow stronger.
The more you hunted, the more power you had.
This wasn't public knowledge. Of course not. A few government insiders knew. A hidden society too—people working in the shadows, trying to evolve humanity using the energy of these alien lifeforms. They believed in a new kind of human. Superior. Untouchable. Something… more.
And everything was going according to plan—quiet, controlled, secret.
Until one ordinary guy found out.
Aaditya. Just a regular guy.
Or so he thought.
He had no idea what he'd uncovered.
No clue that the world as he knew it was about to fall apart.
And that he—of all people—would become the spark.
