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 273: Arrival 2

Beyond those that could see Avatari there were still interesting arrivals.

One of the arrivals was a band of people ranging from demons of various sizes and shapes to High Humans. What was so peculiar about them was that they all teleported to the location individually. If Mira had her memories she would recognize Jake and Charlotte leading the group.

One of the arrivals was led by a cute cat with golden-brown fur and straight black patterns on its body, a middle aged woman and middle aged man, both African. The cat gave off a mixture of harmlessness and a cold blood thirst, similar to Avatari's ambience. The man gave of a holy aura that biased one to think he was a good person. Mira recognized the person as Jola.

Standing in the middle of the two of them, the middle aged woman didn't give off any special feel. Those who checked on her found out that she was an Ancient Grade but the crowd of battle hardened Mythical, Ancient Grades and High Grades behind her hinted that she was not to be overlooked.

These two hosted the highest amount of Mythical and Ancient grades combined among all the current arrivals although they possessed few Celestial grades.

The next big entrance drew everyone's breaths. From afar they looked like a flock of butterflies but on closer inspection they were all Fairies. There were 78 of them, all Mythical grade beings. The group with the highest amount of Mythical grades before that was Jake's group with 25 Mythical grades and this was only because his group was representing the entire North American continent.

The Fairies came in various variations. The biggest like Zivon were the size of a 10 year old with large insect wings ranging from butterfly to moth to dragonfly. Smaller variations of this type also existed from those as large as a head to those as small as a finger. The winged fairies made up the 85 percent of the group.

There were small humanoids wearing full body armor that flew without wings, some even sat on the shoulders of the bigger winged fairies. The head of the group was a finger sized woman with glittering gold skin that released golden dust, she had little dragon fly wings on her back and her eyes snapped to where Avatari was for a while before she waved her hands at her and noticed Mira, the horned man and Chao Feng looking at her. She let out a soft giggle before continuing on.

Despite the various physiological differences in the Fairies the IPs identified them as the same race although some of them had differing Ranks. The presence of the group put a lot of weight on the heart of many factions. 78 was just too much, and the unity with which they moved proved that they would be a force to reckon with even though they had no Celestial grade.

Another interesting arrival happened after that. The first eye catcher was the clump of white flames that came out of a portal. A circle of golden flames floated behind it and it was followed by a bunch of people from Mythical to normal grade. This person brought the largest number of people to the meeting as well.

A conspicuous detail was that every person in this group had a golden circle depicted in one way or another on their person. Those who were in the know recognized them as Avatari's people.

A few groups were inconspicuous in their arrival having their members go in one at a time at different times to make sure they didn't look aligned. Camille, the woman who was looking for Jade was in one of those groups.

Two minutes before the meeting began an unexpected arrival appeared. From the sea, a 100 meter long blue serpent ascended into the air. On top of the serpent a giant man with the lower body of a whale sat. The man was covered in what seemed to be armor made of black pulsing tentacles.

More and more creatures with a mix of aquatic life and human features shot out from the sea. Everyone was taken by surprise at these new arrivals, even Avatari was shocked. She had been watching the planet but she had not seen such people.

The giant merman on the serpent as well as the most human looking member of this group looked at where Avatari was. Avatari waved at them but they showed no reaction to her gesture; they didn't understand it.

Avatari's eyes snapped on the one person she recognized among these hordes of aliens, it was Jade. The titan walked out of the sea alongside a Cyclops that was about his size. He wore a pair of trousers and tied a hooded jacket on his waist leaving his upper body bare.

Avatari excitedly waved at him and he responded with a wave of his own. He noticed a few eyes on him one of them belonging to Mira who he didn't recognize because of her current appearance. Mira also didn't recognize him since she didn't have memories of when he had evolved to a titan.

The group of sea people posed a terror that dwarfed the fairy group. They had 5 Celestial grades; Jade, Ocean, Snakes, Eye and Length. And Mythical grade Atlantians, Fishmen and evolved sea creatures kept pouring out from the sea none stop until they numbered 89. It made people wonder where such a force was hiding but seeing them come out of the sea people got ideas. The sea was also teeming with monsters during the apocalypse; someone had to have taken care of them.

The sea people took their seats. Avatari had to change the shape of the seats to suit various nonstandard arrivers before they came so she just did that again.

More people came after the sea people but there was no other astonishing arrival. Mira's eyes momentarily went to the horned man that had a look of regret and envy as he watched the sea people take their seats. The woman beside him was laughing at him, worsening his mood. It seemed that he regretted not making a big entrance.

When the hour was over Avatari's figure became visible to everyone. She floated to one of the seat and sat down. The seats arranged themselves, some floating in the air some on the ground. They were arranged so that no one's view would be obstructed.

Avatari said "The meeting starts now".
