prologue
Year 50 after the apocalypse, on Earth...
Shen Yang desperately ran with a metal box in his hands, apparently light but weighed about 30 kilograms, he was a tall man although in his 67 he looked 30 he was quite skinny and gray but you could still see how handsome he was at his best days.
You hear sounds of people, 5 of the best elites on the planet discovered that Shen Yang found a mysterious treasure in ruins that was said to change everything and they marched to hunt it.
"Small child give me that treasure and after crippling you I'll spare your life" said one of them, his name was Aran and he was the strongest on the planet although he looked similar to a 20 years young man but he was already 120 years old.
"Aran because of a treasure you want to take my life, I'll never let myself fall into the like of yours" Shen Yang continued running towards the desert of what was previously Mexico.
Shen Yang kept running even after exhausting all the energy of his body until he found a cave.
"Boy don't go in that cave, there is a being of transcendent stage earth sealed by the efforts of all humanity, if you only give me the treasure, I don't need to kill you to keep the matter you. I can keep you as my slave" Aran said while he stopped, even the strongest man was afraid of the beast there. Aran told him about the beast hoping Shen Yang will change his route. Cause if Shen Yang enters the cave he won't have the slightest chance what he might have now.
"I will never be anyone's slave, I do not have any family in this world and nothing stops me." saying that Shen Yang plunged into the darkness of the earth never to return, Aran no longer followed him out of fear but he was angry as this one of rarest moment after his rise of power where he couldn't have his way with something he wanted.
Shen Yang ran in the dark when he felt something shining in his hands, 'how magical, what kind of treasure will it be?' When he opened it, he saw a circular object that came out with lightning speed and insert itself in Shen Yang's head, he was confused for a few seconds. But, suddenly he heard a dull sound of stone, it was light but he heard it, fixing his sight in the direction of the sound he saw the living image of his dead mother.
"Hello, little Shen, what are you up to? Your complexion looks very pale." his mother looked at him with her eyes that contained thousands of emotions, she was a woman in her 30s beautiful short stature in a white dress without any dirt.
"M ... .m ... mother " Shen Yang cried like when he was a child and step by step he approached her "M-Mother… How are you still alive mother."
"Come son give me a hug and I'll tell you everything slowly. Your father is also inside resting." the woman took Shen's hand and lead him to the deepest part of the cave.
When Shen Yang reacted and woke up what he saw left him shocked, a huge beast held him in its mouth while it laughed. He finally realized he was caught in a illusion.
"Although this place is sealed, often few sacrifices passes to play with. But you're quite easy to handle, aren't you?" the beast said while taking fun in his misery.
"That's because, you have to be so cruel with your illusions." he replied as he cried blood of sadness.
"You liked my illusion, you seemed so happy with her. So, you now can be happy with her always." followed by these last words of the beast, it devoured Shen Yang.
The last thing he saw was the throat of the beast that devoured him.
Before his consciousness faded away, he heard a few sounds in his mind....
