Unknown Planet, Somewhere in the Universe.

A seemingly deserted planet was shrouded in darkness. Ruins could be seen covering the entire planet. However, in one area, a massive, imposing castle stood tall.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a blue gown stood near the window. Her purple-colored hair was drooping down to her waist, and her purple-colored eyes were staring out, lost in thought. She was holding a glass of red wine. However, her hands trembled from time to time.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were scrunched as if she were in excruciating pain.

She coughed, and the glass of wine fell from her grasp; she quickly supported herself against the wall. However, golden-colored blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

She smiled bitterly as she looked out the window again, this time in a different direction.

"I did my best. Now is your chance to shine." She muttered and sighed, and her gaze shifted to another location.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, but she sighed again and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She stared at the golden blood in her hands for a moment before shaking her head and walking towards the depths of the castle, where her body slowly vanished into the darkness.

"It's time for me to sleep. I hope we can meet again in the future." Her voice echoed through the castle and suddenly, the entire castle vanished into the thin air.

Thunder cracked, and wind billowed for a while, and then the entire planet plunged into an eerie darkness.

Jester City.

.....

A bus full of passengers was making its way through the traffic-clogged highway.

Inside the bus, a handsome young man dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans, his black hair neatly combed, sat in the middle, his gaze fixed on the scenic view in front of him.

Tall and lofty mountains surrounded jester City. Basically, these mountains were a popular tourist destination in the country.

It's been two days since the sky's color changed. Nobody seemed to mind at first. However, there was a gradual uproar among scientists all over the world, and there was a sudden panic among the people. Nobody knew why the sky had changed color. Some argue that the change in color of the sky is utterly irrelevant. It occurred as a result of solar storms in the Sun, which impacted the planet. While some cults began to describe the event as the end of the world.

As a result of the uproar, some people began to flee the city, clogging the highway.

Meanwhile, two days back, when Monica arrived at her house, Chris's mind ran fast as he made the plan to leave the house before the change in the world.

He informed his parents that he and Monica had decided to prepare for the semester together and that he might need to go to her house for group study. He also pleaded with Monica to continue the act.

And today, under the guise of going to Monica's house to study, he set out for a well-known tourist attraction near his city. He even urged Monica to make an excuse when his parents called.

She was adamant about accompanying him at first, but he told her that he had some important work to finish and that he would treat her to dinner when he returned. After much pleading, she relented and agreed to his request.

While Chris's eyes were fixed on the beautiful scenery in front of him, his brain was working hard to recall events from his past life.

Today is the day when the world will change, all those portals will open, and the world will be filled with a special energy that will change everything.

Everyone, including humans, animals, and even insects, will undergo the transformation and mutate, but this will also bring disaster to the world.

Almost one-fourth of the world's population will perish because their bodies were unable to adapt to the change in the environment and were unable to cope with the new energy, which was harmful to their bodies.

Those who survive will gain superhuman abilities, but this will be dependent on their body's ability to absorb energy from the environment.

But the energy was not the only factor that affected the world. The other factor was the portals, which will appear all over the world.

The Portal will connect this world to another world, filled with the resources to level up, but it will also be accompanied by danger.

The danger of monsters and local natives from another world.

And his current goal was to locate one of the Portals that would appear near the mountains.

Yes, as per his memories, there will be a portal opening near the mountains.

In his last life, a man was luckily at the place near the portal and he bravely entered it and when he came out, he was totally changed.

That man went on to become one of the top superhumans in the future, and when asked about the secret to his sudden rise in power. He described an incident in which he came across a portal that opened near the mountains near Jester City. He even mentioned the location since he purchased it from the association, as it held a special place in his heart.

Chris snickered, shook his head, and closed his eyes. It will still take him at least an hour to arrive at his destination.

As he closed his eyes, the images of his companions and partners flashed before his eyes. The moments he spent together with them, the moments that held a special place in his heart, and the moments when they died gruesomely in front of his eyes.

But then he was startled awake by the conductor's yell.

"Last Stop, Everlasting Mountains."
