The Sun Holder

In the distant future, humanity faces an unprecedented crisis: the sun, the heart of our solar system, is on the verge of destruction. Scientists have discovered that the sun's energy is destabilizing, a phenomenon that could lead to a catastrophic supernova capable of obliterating the entire solar system. As panic spreads, an ancient legend resurfaces, revealing a hidden truth about the sun's fate and the role humanity must play in preventing its demise. Long ago, the Sun God, a divine entity who governs the life-giving star, appeared before the inhabitants of Earth. The Sun God revealed that every 50 years, the sun requires a ritualistic reset to maintain its stability and continue to shine. To achieve this, a grand competition was established—a volleyball tournament like no other, where the finest athletes compete for the ultimate prize: the Solar Heart, a mystical trophy containing the essence of the sun. This tournament, known as the Solar Games, is no ordinary contest. Only those with the rare ability to wield "Sun Qi," a mystical energy that allows manipulation of solar forces, can participate. The Sun Qi grants them the power to connect with the Solar Heart, channeling their life force and determination into the trophy to reset the sun's energy. The winner of the tournament becomes the Sun Holder, a title bestowed upon the champion who holds the responsibility of resetting the sun and ensuring the survival of the solar system. For centuries, this ritual has successfully postponed the sun's destruction, allowing humanity to thrive. However, in the year 3560, the sun shows signs of unprecedented instability, and it becomes clear that this will be the final year of the Solar Games. The Sun God, sensing the sun's imminent end, makes a desperate plea to Earth's inhabitants: the tournament must be held one last time, and the strongest among them must emerge victorious to wield the Solar Heart and restore balance. As the world braces for the final Solar Games, the stakes have never been higher.

They all followed the instructor to the back of the stadium to an open field that had metal plates on the sand and was directly positioned into the sun field of view. "So, I am going to ask all of you to seat on those metal plates in a meditation position and try to feel the sun energy. One of the contestant asked the instructor "With all due respect mister instructor those metal plates are burning hot so can we first cool them down", "I understand that you may feel complexed but this is the most efficient way to feel it so all of you take your places and all of those who won't be able to feel it in the next 5 hours, I am sorry for you but you will have to leave".

All the contestants started going and taking their positions while whispering mean comments about the instructor as they sat down most of them started quitting and leaving but those who remained a smell of burnt skin was lingering in the air and due to the hotness of the sun, the burning sensation of the metal plates made most contestant feel dizzy, get headaches and puke and they were being sent to the infirmary and the remainder started to feel an energy enveloping them and they were starting to get a hint about it but they were not quite proficient.
