1 CHAPTER-1
Universal calendar year: unknown
Spatium Humanum calendar year: 20200
At the known center of the universe, it was teeming with civilizations of all races. There is a great civilization centered among the other great forces called Spatium Humanum. They are a new civilization that became one of the top Races with unprecedented speed and vigor. They changed the course of universal history and fought their way to the peak power of the universe.
At the heart of the Humanus planet, there lies an ancient structure of unknown proportions. All know it as a Pillar of Humanus. But, its real purpose or the mysteries behind it eluded many.
Inside the structure is dark, and the only light is from the periodically glowing lines and unknown marks that run across the entire structure, dimly lighting up the interior. Twelve thrones are floating equally across the place, and sitting upon them are twelve beings draped with robes hiding their features.
Another group of twelve people at the center stood, with their heads lowered, a clear indication of respect for the seated beings.
It was eerily calm as no sound and breathing could be heard or felt from any of them, like statues they didn't move an inch, those seated, and those standing on the ground.
Finally, a voice was heard. "The time to pass down the teachings of progenitor and the thrones of the Humanus race to these youngsters has finally arrived." It was unknown who spoke, as no one moved and the voice was heard all over the place. It felt surreal and a little creepy.
"We are known as Bibilothecas, the bearers of Progenitors knowledge. It is our duty to rule and follow the teachings of the Progenitor. For every 5000 Humanus calendar years, we change, appointing, and nurturing a new generation in our place. It is a heavy burden to undertake, but I know well, you are all perfect candidates for these thrones." The voice said, this time sounding more solemn and majestic.
Then the voice sounded low and anxious. "But, this time, we have to abdicate the Thrones earlier than imagined. It's been 3000 years since we all became Bibilithecans, there remains 2000 years more for our rule. But our Progenitor has called upon us, it seems the situation is on the dark side...."
The voice stopped what it was saying and continued, "We will start with the history of our Progenitor, our god, the great being, the Vanquisher. He is called and known by many names. Everyone thinks he was an extraordinary being born with supreme knowledge and power, but the truth is he was just a normal earthen-born being."
"Let us start from the time where it all began." With that, the entire structure dimmed suddenly, and eerie lights began flashing all over the inside. Then, they started to increase in intensity, and the light became so bright that nothing could be seen and with a loud.
BANG!
The lights went out, and darkness returned to the place.
A sonorous voice could be heard speaking: Ancient Human calendar year 2025!
.......
This is where our story begins. A normal young human whose name now resounds throughout the entire universe.
The year 2025. Date: Dec 31. Time: 10:00 PM.
It was a normal day for the people of the earth, but for the Elite batch of students and a young man named Alexander this day will be very special. As his life or the fate of the entire up universe was about to take a turn for good or bad.
Country A, Old York city. Old York University.
In a huge auditorium that can easily accommodate 2000 members, cheering and clapping noises could be heard from inside the hall. Today was the graduation ceremony day for the Elitist MBA batch students.
This was an Honor Graduation Ceremony that is done every four years for the most brilliant and elite students of the university. As the day they do is very special and it has been a tradition of the university for many decades to celebrate the elite graduation day on Dec 31 night.
The Dean was on the podium, calling out the names of the graduates slowly. Everyone clapped whenever a name got called out, making the graduates blush in joy and happiness.
"Sol Invictus Alexander" The Dean called out the name of a graduate, his voice louder and affectionate than before.
A young man stood up with a smile etched on his face from the middle row seats. He has black hair, blue eyes, and fair skin tone. His face radiates gentleness, and his sharp blue eyes emit his confidence as he walks towards the podium.
Loud cheers and claps broke out as he walked, passing by everyone. His gait steady, with uniformly taken steps just his entire being radiated the confidence oozing out of him. He walked on to the podium amidst the cheers and received the certificate. He turned towards the spectators seated and waved at them before getting down onto the stage.
What he didn't notice was that not everyone was happy with how he was being received. Jealousy is a sin that is greater than greed. Among the spectators, a young man was clenching his knuckles hard while gritting his teeth.
He is Antonio Jelaponi, a well-known second rich generation kid. He has both smarts and money, but he is jealous of those who are better than him and mostly looks down on poor or lower-class members.
This character of his made him less popular with those kids who entered through grades, as Alexander is also from a well-being family. With his good looks and approachable character, he became the prince charming of many. Antonio clenched his hand and loosened it several times like he was making some decision. Then he stood up and went to the bathroom.
Inside the cubicle, he dialed an unknown number and said, "I don't want to see him standing again ever." and cut off the call, took out the sim broke it and flushed it into the toilet. He then carried on smashing his phone and wrapped it in toilet paper and threw it in the bin. Then, with a grin, he left happily.
Meanwhile, Alexander didn't know that someone had decided to end his life, as he was happily talking with his friends and family taking pictures to capture these happy memories.
Outside the auditorium, in the night sky, Alex was the center of attention in the field. Everyone happily came to him and congratulated him and wished him well. Both his parent's faces glowed with pride from how better a young man their son has become.
"Alexander"! a sweet girl's shout was heard from his back. His face glowed brighter as he turned over to see a young woman of the same age waving at him while calling his name.
He smiled at her and excused himself from the surrounding crowd, and walked towards the young woman. She had wavy blonde hair, brown eyes, a chiseled face with a sharp nose and beautiful lips.
Her name is Angelica Apricus. Like her name, she's bright and kind-hearted, both of them childhood friends. They studied at the same school, college and now graduated from the same course.
Anyone might think they are sweethearts and a couple, but they are not. They are like a family to each other, as they both didn't have siblings, they see each other as brother and sister.
Congratulations...
They both said the same thing and laughed out loud while hugging. She said, "So we finally are going to enter the world of work and adults."
Alexander chuckled and replied, "Yeah, it seems. Though we are lucky to get into the same company." and broke free from the hug.
She made a meek puppy face and said, "Please look after me, Mr. Executive."
He followed up on it and said in a mock condensing tone, "Then, you better behave well, and do what I tell. There can be no excuses, only absolute obedience."
They both then started laughing at their childish antics.
While they were talking people began shouting the countdown to New year.

Everyone happily shouted and cheered and clapped as the clock struck midnight and the new year arrived. Everyone was hoping the arrival of the new year would bring new changes in their lives.
Angela took out the mobile phone and closed in and said, "Come, let us take a selfie."
"Cheers"
Both of them smiled at the camera while in the background, the blinding lights of firecrackers flashed making the sky look so colorful.
Click!....
Their happy smiling faces got captured, so beautiful they were, but they didn't know fate had much more planned for them.
