The 'True' History Of Earth

This is an authors note, which I released the chapter early to make sure some of you get this message. As some may know, I said that I'd be releasing the rest of my novel on Patreon, rather than Web novel. There are some reasons to this which I don't feel comfortable voicing, but the link to my Patreon is in the synopsis of this book. Please follow the story there.

Okay, I'm a really weak person... I have decided to continue updating once each week, contrary to Patreon with twice a week! Haha, don't laugh at me... Also, a love interest will be introduced but the original premise will not be taken away.

1200 Years later,

Currently, we are in the year 1116 Aetil.

At the start of Aetil, humanity was a well-developed country with technology like phones and helicopters and so on.

But soon, mana was discovered and their focus was driven towards that.

"What an amazing thing! We can create fires without sparks!"

"So, if you direct your mana towards a certain weapon and stabilise it properly, a film of blue light will cover that weapon. That film is what we call mana, the mana strengthens the weapon and allows you to cut through even iron."

"Mana is the power of nature, we get the energy from the world and bring it into our bodies all at once!"

As mana was developed, technology was forgotten and it was left to rot in a corner. Cause, who needs technology when we can use mana for everything?

As the years progressed, technology was lost to time and most things were reverted back to a medieval era.

Though, there were a few stubborn humans who refused to let their technology die. They created futuristic technology and humanity was divided after that. War came and 2 sides fought to new the best, to prove their power and abilities.

Then came the first Emperor rank.

She united humanity into one and left them to themselves. And thus, 2 factions were created under the New Imperial Family. In simple colours, it would be the Blue faction and the Red faction. Most called them that, by the colours they wore. The Blues were mana users, the ones devoted to supernatural powers and the Reds were technological geniuses. They were together, yet apart. War was finished yet there was tension boiling and bubbling under the surface. The bubble was just waiting to burst.

And thus, the Emperor created a tournament. Every person under the age of 35 can participate and fight each other to be named the winner. This tournament would allow fights that could ease the tension in order to allow unity and friendship between the 2 factions.

Every participant would either wear blue or red to show their faction. However, there was an anomaly.

A purple robe came.

This participant wore purple robes which symbolised a mixture, they used both technology and mana as they overpowered every enemy and won numerous battles.

However, no one was in favour of this idea.

That purple-robed participant was assassinated before the end of the competition and everything was reverted to the separate factions.

The emperor tried addressing the situation, however, she was met with extreme backlash and the problem was swept under the rug.

Yet, although the participant died, they instilled ideas towards some and created the thought. The what-ifs.

And although the previous incident had been swept under the rug, anomalies would find their way in. Purple robes became more numerous and it ended up as a situation in which assassination was unavailable. A massacre was inhumane since some purple robes had families who were from their factions and, although they didn't want to admit it, the purple robes would've been able to defeat them in this kind of battle.

The purple robes inspired unity and teamwork, the kind that the factions hated.

And soon, they grew to a size so large, the Blues and Reds couldn't pressure them anymore.

And thus named the third faction, the Purples.

Their mana and technology were lacking compared to the Blues and Reds, but the harmony of their weapons wiped out that weakness.

The Emperor was pleased with this development and allowed the Faction's creation. Even donating to the faction to show her support of the idea.

The Nobles were now divided between 3, and there was no lack towards the Purples.

The situation stayed like this for a while till disaster hit.

The Gods appeared and killed the Emperor, declaring their rule on Earth as the new leaders.

Humanity fought and the factions united, albeit for a short time, until their defeat against the constellations, the Gods.

Humanity was then reformed into servants under their rule.

And if only that was the end.

The Gods were too cocky. Humanity grew in strength as factions under the Imperial family and although they showed reverence for the Gods on the outside, truly, they held ugly feelings. Hidden beneath their skin and smiles.

They built schools to strengthen young geniuses and created an army to defeat the Gods that enslaved them.

And then, the 'best genius' was born.

He had talent and intelligence. He also had the drive to defeat enemies. All the factions wanted him, but it was decided that he'd choose the faction he'd join once he turned 15 years old.

And, on his 5th birthday, he disappeared.

It was probably because of his potential though.

'Our' hope is gone now. But 'we' will hope for his swift return.

-1st person-

I held out my hand, a blue light enveloped my hand and rose into the air.

"Hello," I whispered, listening intently to a voice that was barely even a whisper.

Hello.

The voice came. I guess I didn't need to focus much since it would echo within my head.

"What should I call you?" I spoke in a normal tone now, it was already obvious that it was Mana so I only needed to ask what to call It.

You can call me Mana! I don't have a name since I literally am nature, but I guess you could call me Mother Nature. Hehe.

It sounded like a child, but it was cute. The title 'Mother Nature' didn't suit it at all. Mana continued to speak as if babbling. Like a child excited to meet someone for the first time. Mana's voice got louder as it spoke, as if gaining power and confidence and soon I didn't even need to try to listen to it.

You know, you're the second human to speak to me! And the youngest at that, but that's only physical age. Your soul age seems to be way older than the other human. But I do hope you're more fun than her. She only spoke of work all her life!

"Haha! I hope I am more fun than her. But who is she?"

I don't remember much since it was so long ago, but I think a lot of people would call her Emperor which I think was kind of weird cause couldn't people call her Empress?

"Huh? The First Emperor knew you?"

Yep! In fact, I am the reason why she became that rank so quickly!

"I... Didn't know that."

Hehe, I know right? I'm such an amazing energy. Even better than Aura!

"I guess so, You must be amazing if you could make someone get to that rank so quickly!" I cheered and praised the child who was older than my age combined with the Emperor.

So strange...

I'm already liking you, Ray!

"Hmm? How do you know my name?"

I've been watching over you since you were born! You know, I was so worried when I saw the teleportation power that took you here. And then this happened! I was so surprised, You know!

Huh...
