The Crumbling World

WARNING: Reading may cause addiction :) In Florida, Kaiden lives a simple life as a student. He deals with the regular challenges of high school, just like everyone else. But one day, something unexpected happens that completely changes everything. A huge amount of energy gathers in the Bermuda Triangle and causes a massive explosion. Kaiden, who is nearby, suddenly finds himself in the middle of all the chaos. He's faced with natural disasters and he tries his best to survive. As he struggles to stay alive, Kaiden's determination gets even stronger. However, there's a deep mystery beyond just staying alive. The events after this disaster lead to a series of unpredictable situations, even beyond what the gods could predict. A new world was created.

Characters/Images & Info (Minor Spoiler)

Forward, the beginning may be alright, but it may not be written very well. At that point, I didn't know what info dumps were or what "show, don't tell" meant. While I have a goal in mind, which is the end of the story, and it will blow your minds, the journey there was a bit rocky and not very cleverly thought out because I didn't follow a direct path and just wrote as I pleased. However, these criteria gradually improves from chapters 30 to 40 as I became more involved in writing. Additionally, I want to apologize in advance if you don't like my English, as I am only 16 years old and English is not my native language. If you can't bear to read the first 30 chapters, I won't hold it against you, as it's your right as a reader to read what you want. However, I kindly ask you to at least read the first 6 chapters to form a true opinion. If you read more, even better :)

[Ranks explained]

[Ranks go from 1 to 10, with subdivisions from F to A]

[For each transition from one full rank to another, one must have Rank A and then level up]

[Each individual level is a rank (if you level up, you go from Rank E to Rank D)]

[Example: You = Rank 1A, when leveling up = Rank 2F]

[Another example: You = Rank 3C, when leveling up = Rank 3B]

___________________________

[Sacrifices explained]

[There are karma points, which are credited depending on the intensity when used]

[These karma points are then converted so that the sacrifice becomes more intense, depending on the amount of karma points]

[However, one can also be negative in karma points, which means that when something has to be sacrificed, nothing is really sacrificed (simply put: if you have $500, have $200 in debt, you still have $300)]

[It is individually dependent but mostly dependent on the ability]

[Examples: Ability: Telekinesis = Sacrifice: cannot touch things themselves (Depending on the amount of karma points, you are increasingly pushed away from reality and eventually cannot touch anything)]

[However, it can always be something else, so it is not entirely dependent on the power (just mostly)]

___________________________

[Reawakening]

[The Awakening occurs through a serum with a chip that is injected into someone.]

[Reawakening happens, but not if someone allows themselves such an injection again; on the contrary, they die from an overdose]

[Reawakening can happen when someone is done with their ability, and then only rarely, meaning they have reached the maximum of their level, or it can also happen randomly]

[Secret Reawakening: ###]

___________________________

[World-building in brief (ONLY FROM the Battlefield NOT FROM the FANTASY LIKE ENVIRONMENT)]

[There is a portal in the Bermuda Triangle that leads to Praeter]

[In Praeter, which is twice the size of Earth, there are three large areas: the first year, the second, and the third. Imagine it like the third year at the front and central, and the second and third like a rainbow attached to it. The somewhat large battlefield is like a praline, the Earth from the inside, or like an atom. At the largest front, there are the strongest Awakened, as well as monsters. From there, it gets weaker towards the outside.]
