With the whole globe snowed over, humans are no longer on top of the ladder. Violent aliens have forced humanity into various locations of hiding, and an evil ancient clan reveals itself. Taking control of sanctuaries all over Earth as Mafia Bosses, Dictators, Conquerors, and other forms of leadership, in an attempt to prove which is the strongest amongst them. After being in hiding for three years, humans have begun to acquire "abilities" just from slaying one of these aliens. Shortly after leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two old friends, Katsu and Saku, are matched together not only as an academic team, but choosen by the last surviving "Creator of Humanity". Each one is 'blessed' as the vessels for the universe's contemporary forces and use their unique abilities to achieve their own (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is a female descendant of the greatest 'unknown' Scandinavian sword fighter. After being revealed to about her destined lineage, and the lost "mythical" history of her highly respected grandmother from the Viking/Valkyrie Age, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of her slain grandmother's stolen weapons from a both physically and magically gifted covenant of witches. If you have a beloved purpose you can't live without, do you truly have any freedom? If you have complete freedom to do or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about?

Purpose To Life

{Before reading, the first few volumes of this series are illustrated on Webtoon.

The writing style and format are used as a technique to give my illustrator an easier time in creating the adaptation over time.

Thank you for those who understand, and enjoy!}

_____________________

Summer night around 12 a.m. in a field of flowers and grass flowing in wind. A pond is in the near background.Crickets, frogs, and cicadas are all heard.

A dragonfly zips by.

Mr. Dragonfly lands onto a cattail in the pond. The plant sways as the bug lands.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Is there such a thing? Does everyone really have a purpose?"

A frog snatches the dragonfly and eats. The frog hops into the water and swims. It's swimming passed fish and underwater plants. The frog passes a school of small fish and a bigger fish is then seen eating the majority.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. What if that purpose was for only a second, would you think life is worth it?"

Frog pops his head from the water and an owl snatches the frog. It takes it to a nearby tree and eats.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life.

Does it always mean sacrifice?

Is it positive?

Does one's purpose effect another's?

Has anybody's death been in vain?"

The owl flies towards its nest and feeds the baby owls its regurgitation. The tree begins to shake. Momma jumps back and begin to flap while the babies helplessly are unable to fly.

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Humans seem to be the most confused about that purpose. Some think 'tomorrow' is the purpose. Some of them work their lives away for more and better things, for themselves or their loved ones, some a deity, or… for humanity.

Most animals know their purpose at birth but humans seem to make their own purpose throughout their lives. Sometimes that purpose changes, while the rest stay on the same path."

A man wearing lumber jacket, boots, and jeans, watching the 15 ft tall tree crash down. Birds fly from nearby trees.

As the man starts dragging the tree back home sweat dripping from his face it starts to snow lightly from the cloudless late summer sky. The man looks confused and looks around.

Child's Voice: "But what would happen if humans were forced into a purpose?"

A meteor is shown falling from the sky behind the man. A trail of blue and pink aura is coming from it. The sound of wind and crackling fire is heard.

It falls creating a huge impact. (BOOM) The ground shakes and the man carrying the tree falls.

Unknowing of what happened the man continues home.

Several miles away from an above angle the meteor is in a mile-wide hole and is a few hundred feet into the ground.

Child's Voice: "Forced to fight, forced to live, forced to save humanity."

At a closer view, the meteor begins to slightly crack.

Almost like an egg.

Child's Voice: "Purpose… to life."

Dear Reader,

Thank you for giving this series a glance and I hope you continue reading.

Now as a fair warning, these first few volumes have short chapters, misplaced or missing commas and "quite a few" typos.

As help to me as a storyteller, if at any point you give up on my tale, please comment when I lost you.

It will better help me as someone who has a passion for this story.

As you can tell by the character designs and the cover, I am not someone who appreciates A.I. interference with human created art.

So the use of A.I. correction and artworks to me doesn't feel right, but all the power to those who do.

My illustrator, Amon-kun, is my Vice-captain to this universe.

Other than the few typos and misplaced or missing commas, I feel as someone who has now written 250 chapters of this series, that I have gotten better with my grammar and sentence structure.

Thank you for trusting me to entertain you, and hopefully this universe inspires someone else to create their own universe.
