A good story

June 2045

Kayden was happy for his friend and discussed details about the wedding and the like. Without a doubt, his relationship with Nicolas went far beyond simple friendship. He considered him like a brother and would do anything to see him happy, even if he couldn't do much in his condition.

 

" I also started a cool soap opera, the story goes like this:"

 

Start of the first arc

(think of it as Nicolas counting)

On planet Earth, humanity developed slowly, conquered the air and seas, and made rapid progress with science. What she least expected was the emergence of mana, which transformed men into beings capable of doing the impossible. Who needed a plane when you could fly yourself?

 

Society quickly changed. Now, the strong ruled, no matter gender, race, or anything, only strength was respected. Gigantic cities were created and the world expanded at an accelerated rate, both in terms of culture and size. The scientists were impressed, the Earth was increasing almost 1% a day and in one year it reached the value of 17 times.

 

But not everything is a bed of roses. One hundred years after the emergence of magic, Earth received the first contact from outside:

 

" Hello beings of planet Earth, we are part of the council of this sector and we came to inform you that we will clean up the living beings of this planet and select some beings that stand out. These beings will receive the best treatment our solar system can offer. You have one last month of courtesy before you are eradicated."

 

This message from the unknown caused panic among the inhabitants of planet Earth. A planet that in 100 years grew 300 times its size and had the truth revealed. They saw that the size of the planets and the known laws of physics were false. In 100 years, the number of inhabitants on the planet has not increased that much, at most it has doubled. Most of the Earth was wild and teeming with magical beasts and plants.

 

Many understood that this was the end. The greatest magicians on Earth spoke saying that they did not understand how that message was passed and could not even feel the presence of the other magician.

 

Most governments collapsed. Attacks by long-standing rivals began spontaneously, wars with no intentions broke out on all sides, and countries with extremely radical leaders like the United States attacked their rivals with all their weapons. However, only patriotic soldiers stayed at the exercises. There was a loud stampede from all echelons.

 

"We inform you that the messages are false and that this was a government test " Messages like this were passed on in different places on the planet to reduce panic.

 

Unfortunately, the truth quickly emerged with panic in elite families.

 

A month quickly passed and there were collective outbreaks of suicides and violence. Governments themselves proved useless in containing the chaos, and many genocides were caused by mad mages. However, in the last week, there has been a strange silence from all the inhabitants, as if they are just waiting for the end as if they are at peace and tired of everything.

 

On the last day, the inhabitants could see huge spaceships and beings floating around the planet, just waiting for the right moment to eradicate an entire civilization and return for their afternoon snack.

 

Ships of colossal sizes, easily reaching the length of cities, could be seen circling the planet's atmosphere.

 

"Hello, hello everyone, we're going to start eradicating sector number 234. Would anyone like to object? " the voice laughed " Well n..."

 

At that moment, everyone saw a man riding alone. Every screen on the planet magnified its image. He was wearing a white robe that seemed to have a light of its own, it didn't look like there could be even a single speck of dirt on it. The uncovered head revealed an old man with a white beard cropped close to his face. His every move felt like it had been done a thousand times.

 

His face, despite being old, showed a sign of delicacy and perfection that should not match a human being, almost as if he had been carved by hand. And his eyes were the most impressive thing, they were completely golden and seemed to have no end, almost like an abyss.

 

"I object." An utterly clean voice that seemed to carry the weight of the heavens came out of the figure, with a frightening enchantment arose in everyone's minds.

 

The weaker beings didn't feel it, but those at the top of the fleet's power could see the pressure the mage caused in space, almost as if the mana bowed to him, however, he didn't have a level enough to scare the leader of the troop, it only alarmed him, but his blind arrogance prevented him from expressing any warning signs.

 

"A mere low-ranked archmage thinks he can stop the entire council? " together with his words he began to laugh along with the entire fleet, it was audible to everyone on the planet the mockery and contempt shown by the invaders.

 

"How about letting me cast a spell, as a courtesy?" the wizard asked with a crooked smile, infuriating the commander.

 

" As a courtesy, I will let you cast up to 100 spells in my fleet, we will only defend ourselves " The commander made clear his contempt for this mage, only allowed to increase his fame among his men.

 

Immediately the man began to manipulate the surrounding mana and began to speak.

 

" Hello everyone on Earth, my name is Adam, I've been alive for approximately 4 thousand years, I was responsible for generating many myths in our civilization " laughed the old man with an air of nostalgia " I started learning magic long before I even had it. the collapse of mana. I can guarantee to be the first human magician " he laughed again in a cheerful tone.

 

That phrase caused an uproar in the raiding fleet. Mages awakened before the mana flow are extremely rare and usually represent the pinnacle of a civilization. One awakened is worth more than entire planets, as they represent an entirely new path in the wizarding world.

 

Before the awakening of mana, the world had something called dormant mana, which is extremely difficult for people unfamiliar with magic to manipulate. Entering the path of magic by this method is the most difficult and laborious, and even among geniuses, the success rate is lower than finding a needle in a solar system.

 

The commander gave orders not to kill Adam and capture him after his spell.

 

"During that time I taught myself magic, I created an organization called the Garden of Eden, where only those capable of defying their destiny were allowed to join. I took a lot from this planet and gave little. Today I come to repay my debts, I ask that humanity follow my clan, they were instructed to guide the next steps of our civilization."

 

At that moment, an entire planet's mana surged within Adam's reach, it was like a black hole sucking in everything, it was unimaginable to everyone present that such a large amount of mana could be manipulated.

 

"ATTACK! IN FULL POWER! STOP THIS MAN " the commander shouted desperately, he recognized what was being done, the will of the world was helping Adam.

 

"I will buy 1000 years for mankind to rise again. I have learned two things in my 4000 years of life: human greed has no limits and that humanity has no limits.

 

Adam's magic was coming to an end. Everyone could feel a monstrous level of spell-building. An entire civilization's attention was on just one man, his back could be seen on every camera and screen on the planet, and he only felt one thing: unwavering.

 

" MY NAME IS ADAM AND I AM THE FIRST PILLAR OF HUMANITY " Only one finger was raised above it " AND LET IT BE A LESSON TO NEXT GENERATIONS " The mana of an entire planet gathered on Adam's finger " HUMANITY DOES NOT KNEEL, WE RULE.

 

At that moment, the commander ordered everyone to withdraw, and even though barely a second passed between the orders, he knew it was too late. Adam's body was engulfed by an explosion of mana, it was so strong that for a moment all living beings in the region felt as if the world had stopped for a moment, the sounds silenced.

 

Then a small barrier appeared on Earth, extremely thin, but golden in appearance and transparent, almost impossible to notice. The commander ordered everyone to attack, the attack was carried out for 7 days and 7 nights, and during that time humanity did not rise, no one spoke, no one celebrated, everyone waited to see what happened and nothing of the barrier broke, no matter who it was brought by the council.

 

Finally, humanity is celebrated. On that day, a new calendar was started by the organization that quietly took over. It was declared a world holiday on the day of Adam's sacrifice and...

 

"Wow, Nicolas, this soap opera looks cool," commented Kayden, excited to hear the rest of the story.

 

" Unfortunately, there's only one chapter released and it's from years ago. It was probably abandoned by the author " Nicolas said, showing a certain level of sadness. Without a doubt, it has already reached a level where there are few well-made novels to be read.

 

Nicolas squirmed in his chair and continued to chatter on and on with Kayden until he was chased away by the hospital staff.
