The Matriarch
Before the world crumbled, there was the so-called all-giving light. A tremendous blast of white and black glow broke through the skies, engulfing the earth and raining drops of what looked like stardust.
It was an unexplainable phenomenon. Everyone thought it was a new weapon of mass destruction that had lost control, being tested by the countries that held superpowers. Thus the beginning of a short little skirmish between them as they tried to blame one another for it.
But then, while the world was at war between themselves, it began. It started with certain people suddenly developing godly powers. Some had super strength, others were unparalleled speed and so on, making the conflict continue with a unique twist.
Everything was now engulfed in chaos, destruction, and anarchy as new rulers rose and the old was slowly being replaced and disposed of.
And during this time, a young Chris Cruz is thrust into the world of power struggle because of his need to provide for his family.
Being deemed as an irregularity for having so much energy, yet with no proper use, they considered him a dud, a waste, and a totally worthless case. Thus, they keep him in the research division to serve as a guinea-pig for finding out more about the said phenomena.
With no choice as a soldier, he is forced into missions and predicaments that put his life on the line. And throughout all these obstacles, the power in him slowly adapts, but at the same time, all of it begins to consume him.
Will Chris be able to stay as he was? Or will everything completely change him? As the world starts to look different from his point of view with each awakening, eating every piece of his humanity away.
