Chapter 2: Meteor

Ever since the spacecraft that contained humanity's last beacon of hope flew towards space. Several hundreds of years have passed since then. Fortunately, humanity didn't thoroughly become extinct. Instead, they adapted and evolved, their bodies conformed with the harsh conditions of Earth, absorbing the bloodline of the beasts. They obtained abilities that didn't obviously belong to mankind.

However, the constant war that they sieged against the beasts worsened the Earth's conditions to the extent that they only managed to turn half of Asia's continent, into a habitable zone fit for living. The rest of the world still contained those abominable beasts and they would occasionally try and invade humanity's stronghold but they would be repelled by humanity's strongest Evolvers.

At the place where Beijing once stood, the last stronghold of humanity stood. With a population of mere ten million. However, because of the widespread destruction and annihilation of lives that occurred several hundreds of years ago. The knowledge that humanity piled up through the internet and libraries, were also lost in the process.

But of course, not everything was lost. But if you compare the current world with the world back then. The disparity would be too huge.

The snowflakes that descended from the air looked black and gray. The air was hard and painful to breathe and the coldness that enveloped the atmosphere could freeze anyone into popsicles. But miraculously, the humans still continued on their daily routine like nothing.

They had adapted to these conditions. By absorbing the beasts' bloodline, they improved their physique and could now endure the harsh conditions of the present day, Earth.

Suddenly, everyone raised their heads, they could see a meteor descending. When they saw the meteor, everyone frantically ran and reported this occurrence towards the Commander General of the City. And after the latter received the news, he inspected and found that the meteor would not strike the ocean so the possibility of a tsunami was null.

Since the meteor wouldn't strike the ocean, the common populace calmed down and stared at the gradually largening figure of the meteor. Although something like this was a normal occurrence for them, they still stared and enjoyed the beauty of the fiery rock.

An explosion occurred and because of the angle, they could not see the impact. After witnessing that it crashed down. They returned back to their previous duties and the Commander General stopped bothering about it. After all, it's just a piece of space rock.

The identity of that meteor was a spacecraft that leaped through time. It formed a thirty-meter wide crater around it as a mechanical voice, interrupted the eerie silence.

[Hello World...]

A consecutive mechanical voice filled with cold indifference echoed throughout the crater. Beeping sounds then reverberated from the Cryogenic Stasis Craft sending out warnings as its doors, collapsed. Revealing the figure of a small child whose expression looked blank and lifeless.

Staring at the scorched land before him, the child stood up and slowly walked outside. Ever since he was born, he didn't have any memories regarding who he was or where he came from. He was akin to a blank piece of paper.

However, even though he didn't have any recollection about his past. His innate curiosity as a child fueled his body as he walked outside and observed the world around him.

Upon the meteor's impact, the lurking beasts' boosted by their curiosity towards the strange object that landed, arrived and observed the small Cryogenic Craft. Their eyes flashed in a strange light upon noticing the young child that slowly approached their vicinity.

The child looked frail and juicy with fair skin and a handsome countenance. His arms thin and his footsteps shaky, yet his expression revealed a desire for food as he calmly walked towards the location of a gigantic snake which hissed in warning.

The snake activated its warning systems and projected resplendent lights that looked like an aurora. If the young man was a beast, his instincts would recognize these signs as a prelude to a counter-attack. But unfortunately for the snake, the young man was just a child that wanted to eat.

With a final hiss, wind sprung and the snake's tail lashed out followed by a booming sound which reverberated across the area. The snake revealed a satisfied expression when it felt the feedback from its attack. But when it looked down, it noticed that the young man looked unharmed and kept approaching its vicinity with arms stretched outwards in desire.

It seems like the young child thought that it would be a delicious food and he relentlessly chased after the snake that became terrified of the child's strange tenacity and strength.

The other predatory beasts' stared at their antics with weird lights flashing within their eyes. The snake had the Bloodline of a Wyvern and a mutated King Cobra. However, it became cowardly and afraid of the young man as it ran towards the opposite direction in a speed faster than sound.

Realizing that its food started running away. The young child's expression reddened in anger, his instincts kicked in, fueled by his hunger as he stretched his hand out.

A deafening roar echoed and the snake crashed on the ground after being attacked by a mysterious force that came from the young man's hands. The other beasts that wanted to help the snake and gain its favor immediately retreated, afraid that the young man may make them his prey.

The snake looked pitiful as its body rubbed on the ground, it was slowly getting pulled towards the young man whose hands still stretched out, but his face, already drooling with saliva.

'Fuck this shit, I'm not gonna die here!' The snake inwardly roared and the silhouette of a Wyvern along with a four-headed King Cobra manifested in the air. The resulting power managed to resist the pulling might that came from the young child's hand.

The young child frowned, he didn't expect that the snake could escape his grasp and even threaten his well-being. Just as the snake was about to retaliate. A feminine voice echoed from the Cryogenic Stasis Craft.

[Danger Detected! Danger Detected!]

[Activating Guardian Angel's Activation Sequence.]

The remaining energy of the Cryogenic Craft fiercely burned as its body suddenly transformed into Modern Weapons that pointed at the beast before him. After the System of the Craft detected the attacking beast, consecutive thunderous booms rang out as the machine guns sent rounds after rounds towards the pitiful body of the snake.

The snake shrieked miserably and the other beasts retreated while gloating at the death of the tyrannical mutated beast. But at the same time, the eyes that they used to look at the young child, changed.

From now on, no matter what, we must not provoke this monster of human!

The young child, completely oblivious to the thoughts of the beasts, stared at the charred snake and savored the fragrant smell of cooked flesh as he excitedly ran towards the dead snake and started his feast.

[Bloodline of the Tyrannical Draconic Snake consumed!]

[However, since the Bloodline of the beast that was consumed, is lower than the host's main Bloodline, the consumed energy will be transferred to the Cryogenic Stasis Craft.]
