Chapter 1.Prologue

The year 2021, a Corona virus infection is sweeping both hemispheres of the earth. The inoculations developed by the world's major powers to combat the disease did help, but only in the first stages. Artificially bred virus was not as simple as it seemed at first sight, it adapted quickly and multiplied with the same speed.

Like any virus, it struck at the weakest point of people, their chronic or untreated diseases. Humanity used to be afraid of plague, smallpox and other diseases that killed thousands, no tens or even hundreds of thousands of lives, but the Corona virus, or as it was called "Kovid-19", was no match for them.

Yes, it may not have been so severe and acted differently, but the death toll was in the millions of human lives, there were rumors or it was confirmed information that the first hotbed of spread was identified in the country of China, that some person ate a snake and soon fell ill, the virus was not long in coming, within weeks there were hundreds or even thousands of infected.

The Chinese government closed its external borders, but not everything was going smoothly inside either, an emergency regime, quarantine, was imposed. The sick were supposed to be at home.

But as is always the case, China belatedly shut down the country. And many of the tourists who were there got sick and went home, so the deadly disease spread beyond the borders of the state and became widespread.

The first outbreaks of the disease were in neighboring countries, Japan, and North Korea. It was also active in the west, the United States, Germany, England and Britain.

Russia was one of the affected countries, because many Russians preferred to vacation abroad, so the spread was in full swing.

As stated earlier, vaccinations helped only the first couple of years, after that the situation heated up and people slowly died without leaving home. No medicines, vitamins or antibiotics helped, or worked, but so inefficiently and ineffectively. With unusual speed the form and structure of the virus changed and evolved, thereby more and more complications appeared. The authorities of the countries could only clench their teeth uncontrollably and bite their lip in anger, in fear that they could do nothing, and in some countries the very top of power itself was dying, what was left for the people of planet Earth was to pray to a long forgotten God.

The year 2030, less than fifty percent of the planet's survivors remained, more lives were lost in China, the United States, Africa, and oddly enough, Australia. At the same time, over this almost ten years, people themselves have been able to develop immunity to disease, yes precisely to disease, the remaining scientists of the union of countries were able to find that humanity is no longer susceptible to Cancer, Rabies, AIDS and more or less serious illnesses. During this period of time, people grew stronger, civilization once again began its evolution.

In the following year, when countries once again began to build up their power, and families had to have at least a dozen children in order to restore humanity as a species, a population, an event occurred that shook the whole world. A meteorite fell on planet Earth, which, according to meteorologists, should have bypassed the Earth. Meteorite, a space rock no less than a hundred meters long and fifty meters wide and several dozen in height fell in the largest country in Russia. This day will be remembered by all residents, especially Russians. Fortunately, falling somewhere in Siberia, it took only the lives of animals.

Some scientists assumed that the movement of titanic plates would soon begin, but all came to nothing, which caused a great shock. With these unusual events that occurred after the fall of the stone, humanity has discovered a gift in itself. As preached by the country of the sunset, on our planet was born spiritual power or energy of the soul, in the human body after the accumulation of the core, which at fullness, changed its colors, 1 - white, 2 - orange, 3 - purple, 4 - red and 5 - yellow (legendary). Because of this energy not only people got a chance for the future, but also the rest of the animals of the planet. Animals began to evolve, the spiritual power had a beneficial effect on them, and then they increased in size, their bones strengthened, and herbivores were able to change their food intake to a more carnivorous one. Everyone in the world became a kind of predator. Now the definition of the word life became fighting.

Countries decided to join forces and created a guild of Monster Hunters, giving a certain amount of money for them, which in the future became more like a business. Other guilds also appeared, but more famous among them was the Alchemists or Scientists guild. There they experimented with the parts and organs of monsters, thinking how they could be assimilated and incorporated into the modern realities of the world. Monsters were divided into ranks: A, B, C, D, E, F. From the strongest to the weakest, but there were also monsters that went beyond the strongest A rank. They were called Mythical Beasts, and more often they were found in the water, in the oceans. Some were more or less harmless (if the stomach is full of you will not touch), and some were dangerous to the point of trembling in the body, always ready to devour alive stupid people.

And in such a world lived, a young man, when all this happened, at that time he was twenty-seven years old. At first glance it seemed that he would not become outstanding in the cultivation of energy, but then this man named Alex, who lives in Russia, was traveling alone in Siberia, and a few tens of kilometers away from him was the fall of that ill-fated meteorite, which turned everything upside down.

It was the very first burst of energy, along with the shockwave, that greeted Alex. He was knocked out that day and lay in the woods until nightfall. But his character was such that the master avoided problems, so he woke up and tried to get to technology to get away from here quickly, before something else strange happened, although who was he going to cheat, is a rhetorical question, he was on the technique moved toward inexplicable shit, which has just happened and now find a giant meteorite, he never expected, approached it closely, he examined it, a giant giant hulk of strange stone lay in the crater of the earth, looking closely, it seemed to him, there was something shining and approached it a few meters high, shone a bright green stone measuring about 50 cm in height and 20 in width, successfully breaking it off with the tools of the hiking backpack he placed the stone like an egg in his backpack and headed back, rushing at full speed. After a difficult seven days he was able to reach the city and the apartment where he lived. At that time the man was happier than ever that everything had turned out well and he had managed not to attract any attention.

The world he knew had changed and so had he, now forgetting his so to speak memorabilia that stood in a glass cabinet he tried hard to feel the energy of the soul.

And surprise, he succeeded quite well, only he didn't know that he had created a thin thread of connection with the egg, which he thought was just a trophy.

Techniques that were divided into speed, strength, agility and endurance began to appear in the world, they were developed first in China, but soon also swept the world.

2040, Alex became famous all over the world , one of the first to reach the fourth, red core, the connection with the egg only intensified, which prompted strange visions in his dreams. Popular warrior of Russia, on his account there are many murders not weak monsters and rumor has it that he once killed a monster of A rank, he himself did not confirm, but also did not deny.

Separately, the world Alchemist Guild revealed the stronger the core of the man, the slower it will grow old. There were also new techniques of space, scanning and many, many others.

2045, Alex reached the legendary fifth core, at which point he was in his own mansion, and on the shelf in front of him was an emerald-colored stone. Upon reaching the fifth core, there was a burst of energy

-Foof, finally, the legendary rank, I have in my hands, we went this way together my trophy- he looked at the stone. Suddenly it began to tremble in different directions, staggering it fell on the carpet where the man was, the smooth green stone rolled towards him.

-What-" Before he could finish, the stone cracked and light poured from it. It lit up the room, leaving Alex to cover his eyes.

He blinked and saw a white ball of light levitating in the air in front of him. He was about to touch the ball as a sharp and loud sound of an explosion not far away distracted his attention from this strange phenomenon.

But the ball, itself flew right into the stomach, where the core rested. Without noticing anything Alex used the technique of speed, he reached the door in a split second, stepping aside, he applied the technique of scanning, behind the door a few meters he found a couple of people at the same stage as him.

They slowly approached the door, and before they opened it, Alex's body was in a searing pain, like lava flowing through his veins instead of blood. His head throbbed and he gritted his teeth as he fell to his knees, unable to comprehend what was happening to him. His eyes were blurred and he began to lose consciousness. In the periphery of his consciousness the last thought flashed through him.

- "Oh shit, I'm going to die a virgin!!!" he thought, sinking into the world of Morpheus.
