The Returners’ Schemes: Collision of Energy and Mana

When dungeons showed up on Earth, they connected them to different realms, worlds, species, and mana. Some humans awakened to the use of mana and gained magic. They are the front liners in the battle between humans and monsters from the dungeons. But there is a price that comes with power. The powerful awaken wo mana and the weak are destroyed by it. Their bodies become vessels that trap mana within until they get sick and, eventually, explode. In order to thwart civilians becoming bomb in their homes they are sent to a private facility where they live out their last days. When the mind is eaten up by the mana in the body the doctors will insert an alien species into their body. The alien will repress the mana and fill their core with their own energy. In return for allowing the aliens on the planet the aliens sign a contract to fight on the failing front lines. The humans do not know the mana encompassing their world is corrupt and dangerous. They do not know any other alien species would destroy their world if they had a chance to keep from infecting the connected worlds through the dungeons. The humans have no idea their world will become a desolate planet in under 200 years. But Cui Xuefeng knows. Because he’s lived through it before. And now he’s back with a hybrid by his side that has both mana and energy in their core. And it’s on them to save Earth and find a way to correct the corruption. *Suicide warning LGBTQ+
