Era: Dawn of the New Gods

Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. ________________________________________ Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my colleagues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. ________________________________________ *It is a sort of 'reverse RPG' as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilities. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beautiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters (some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and it treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items (it has similar concepts but they are not the same). *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character.

Chapter 121: World War 3

'Starting Job Advancement Event: World War 3 Coronation War'. The world went silent with the IPs while the IPs of those that had jobs showed:

[World War 3 Coronation War]

[Introduction: This is the job advancement event for the Conquerors.

The new job, King is now available to the Conquerors only.]

[Description:

Every creature has a 'soul'.

This 'soul' can be acquired by killing creatures.

For the duration of the event every creature will have the Soul stat, the Soul stat increases the more 'souls' are collected.

The Higher the Rank of the creature the Higher the Soul stat increase gained by killing it.

The increase in the Soul stat is equal to the Rank of the creature killed.

Creatures can also give and receive souls if they want to.

Souls can only be used by the Conquerors.

Conquerors can make Crowns by combining souls with an object, any object.

Crowns allow their owner control their territories as long as the owner is touching it.

The Authority level of a Crown is the amount of Conqueror souls and other souls sacrificed to increase the level.

10 Conqueror souls + 10,000 Souls = Authority level 1

30 Conqueror souls + 30,000 Souls = Authority level 2

60 Conqueror souls + 60,000 Souls = Authority level 3

100 Conqueror souls + 100,000 Souls = Authority level 4

150 Conqueror souls + 150,000 Souls = Authority level 5]

The higher the Authority levels the more control the Conqueror has over their territory.

The Conquerors can make their territory boost their stats and alert them if there are intruders with Authority Level 1 Crown.

The control capabilities grow as the Authority level increases.

When a Conqueror creates a crown of a certain Authority level, the Conqueror becomes a King.

Kings have no Soul stat hence they cannot acquire Souls.

The only way for a King to increase its Authority level is to take the Crowns of other Kings and combine them with its own.

The souls in the Crowns will combine and if the amount meets the requirements of a higher authority the Crowns authority with be increased.

If not the process will fail and the Crown that was taken will lose all its souls.

Multiple Crowns can be combined at the same time.

This combination process takes 30 days to complete and the King will have no Authority level during that process and will not be able to add any other Crown with the combination or stop the combination.

The King job retains the Conqueror's Word privilege under the name King's Word.

Kings have enhanced reproduction capabilities, if a creature becomes a King without having a reproductive system it will be get one.]

[As a punishment for the extremely low job performance of the Conquerors the job will no longer exist after the duration of the event.

All Conquerors who are not Kings by the End of this Event will lose their Job and will not get a job until they get to the next threshold Rank

The Conquerors will also permanently lose the Conqueror's Spawn privilege.]

[The Knights will lose the Knight's Sacrifice Privilege for the duration of the event as punishment for their low job performance.]

[Considering the relatively bad performance of the Conqueror and Knight job, the Nobles have been rewarded with the Event limited Fake Soul privilege.

The Fake Soul Privilege allows the user to give false information about the location of their souls to users of the Soul Map privilege that are lower in Rank than them]

[As a reward for their excellent performance the Hunters get the event limited privilege, Soul Map and Fake Soul Privilege.

The Soul Map privilege allows the user to know the location and Rank of every soul in the known world.]

[The Event will last for 240 days (~8 months)]

[There are Hidden Achievements in this Event]

[You have acquired the Event limited stat, Soul]

[You have acquired the Event limited privilege, Soul Map]

Jade stared into the empty air and read all the information his IP had dumped on him. He thought 'This event is going to completely remove the Conqueror job but the King job is quite good. Hmm… now that I think about it, the Crown can boost stats, so if I had one I would be able to boost my intelligence and create even more ground breaking inventions. *sigh* it's a shame I'm not a Conqueror.

But at least we Hunters have a special Privilege. Soul Map, although the IP doesn't say it, this means that no one can hide from a Hunter during this event… Except for the other Hunters and Nobles, which is a job I've never seen a monster with'.

Mira noticed Jade's silence and said "Was there any other information about this event? Considering the IP called it a Job Advancement Event it must have something to do with Jobs right?"

Jade thought for a while and said "Yes, it is an event that allows the Conquerors change jobs and become Kings. The procedure to become a King involves a lot of killing though" Jade then relayed to Mira what his IP told him about the Coronation War and said "I haven't told you this before but I have the Hunter job".

Mira's eyes lit up, Jade had told her about the Conqueror job but she didn't know his own job. She said "How can I get the Hunter job?"

Jade smiled, he knew that the Hunter job would be a highly desired job for anyone who knew the privilege it gave during the Event. He said "Now that I think about it, you have met some of the requirements for the Hunter job. To be a Hunter you must have no territory that is to move about. You've already met that condition since you aren't going back to the sanctuary. You must kill at least 22 species of creatures in the month when you get your class. That means people who just kill hive creatures will never get the Hunter job. I killed many monsters different types of monsters in the month when I got to Rank 7. I don't know if spawns will count as different species but you can try"

Mira smiled when she heard that she had already completed one of the requirements for the Hunter job. Mira asked "What are you going to do during the event?" Jade smiled and said "That's obvious, I'm going to get a bunch of souls and sell them for Magic and technological knowledge to human Conquerors". Mira nodded and said "Should I tell human conquerors about your offer?"

Jade said "Yes do that. If the Soul Map is as the IP said it is then I should be able to send you to a relatively safe place"

I'm Back!!!!!!!!

This second volume is going to be Fire!!!!!!!!!!
