Countless light years away from the Magnetic Resonator where Jake was poised to retreat into solitude, another group of humans toiled diligently, their countenances unmarred by the pervasive gloom that haunted almost all the Evolvers on B842.
They numbered in the hundreds of millions, their ranks bolstered by diverse alien races that had rallied to their side, cohabiting on a Floating Island marginally smaller than Jake's. On first glance, one might have mistaken this territory for a sprawling nation or a planetary government, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
This colossal island belonged to one man alone: Cho Min Ho. The cosmopolitan population, counting several hundred million members and hundreds of factions, came together under a grand organization known as the King's Idol Alliance, this island being their primary stronghold.
