Chosen by the Upper Sky

Mythology and Legends were seen as nothing more than imagination by most of the people of Earth after the Age of Enlightenment, an attempt of the past humans to explain phenomenon they could not understand and though faiths existed, most have started to believe them to be nothing more than imagination. That however changed in 2023 when God and higher beings suddenly started to choose people from amongst the populace and gave them power to use, essentially turning them into superhumans and the fully cemented the fact that the Supernatural do indeed exist. The Earth has changed greatly with these chosen people becoming the most important people in the world due to their status and strength as some of them are even leaders of their own nations. The emergence of Gates and it's dangers however allowed the world to realise the reason as to why the higher beings have decided to bless them. The chosen fight them and are admired and the chosen people, called the Blessed, were a career that was sought after by many in the world as it gave fame and fortune. This is a world where myths and modernity collide. A/N: This book is inspired by "Blessed by the Night" by AnathaShesha as I liked the system with which the story was written, so there might be some similarities between the two stories.
