Life on Earth became different upon the arrival of the beasts that emerged from that Spatial Crack somewhere in the Middle East. It brought with them calamities which destroyed the natural tranquility of everything. It also melted all the remaining ice on earth which increased sea levels by up to 216 feet or 66 meters. Engulfing major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Hongkong.
Global Temperatures rose up to forty-degrees celsius and everything transformed into a sweltering inferno that was hostile to human life. Fortunately, the knowledge of men and their decades of research bore fruit. They managed to extract the bloodlines of those beasts and assimilate it for themselves in a process called Core Creation.
At the right side of a mutated human's heart, a Core would form and inside that Core was the abilities that they inherited, along with the precious blood essence of the beast that they assimilated. In return, after successfully condensing a Core inside their bodies.
Humans obtained the ability to turn the impossible into possible. Such as going invisible, super strength, or flying for a short time. They also acquired the ability to adapt towards the Earth's current conditions and using these abilities, they managed to reclaim a piece of land, about sixty miles from the previous location where Beijing stood, near the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
However, after reclaiming that piece of land, the humans encountered numerous problems such as finding a suitable land to plant some crops or finding a water source that could possibly supply such a vast number of population. Fortunately, the Evolvers managed to create such a miracle and the current civilization of darkness was born.
With their knowledge about modern civilization completely gone. Everything returned back to the Iron Age. Only a scarce number of modern literature managed to persevere. But unfortunately, it only contained depictions about how the world was, several hundreds of years ago.
At the South-Western Side of the current stronghold of humanity. A young child could be seen fiercely fighting against a Wyvern, several months had passed since he returned back to Earth. Now, the young child looked ripped and rugged, his expression looked refreshing and innocent, yet his eyes twinkled in a light of loneliness.
Humans were sociable creatures and they longed for the company of the other. He felt lonely by himself and even though he could see his parents through the semi-transparent screen that would float around him. He was saddened by the fact that he couldn't touch them.
When he asked such questions towards his father, the latter fiercely retorted in anger and said that he should forget about the matters of the past and focus on mastering Krav Maga and surviving this current world. Because of this, the young child didn't have any other choice but to nod his head and obediently train.
Little did he know that once he departed to look for his sparring partner for the day. The young woman inside the semi-transparent screen would cry and lean over the shoulders of her husband.

After tirelessly training for several months in solitude, Gabriel's stats increased, with the exception of his Int stat that for some reason, would refuse to increase no matter what he did.
[Str: 6973; Int: 0.6; Agi: 2442; Dex: 3322; Sta: 3512]
[For Reference, one point of each stats is equal to an average person's capabilities]
His father didn't explain much about the meaning of these stats but he said that Gabriel must increase it for as much as he could. Gabriel's attitude made him somber about the fact that he couldn't increase his Int stat. Frowning, he looked around for any sparring partner.
The beast shirked upon feeling the sensation of the little monster's gaze landing on their bodies. The memories of the beatings that they experience were still fresh in their minds. And after experiencing such torture, they would rather be eaten alive than be captured by this young child.
But how could they escape from Gabriel's grasp? With his several months of experience in catching these beasts, he understood their pattern of movements and easily predicted their next actions as he stretched his arm out and sucked the body of the poor beast that was coincidentally on his attack range.
The beast whose visual appearance looked like a two-meter tall, black bear, fiercely struggled under Gabriel's grasp. If one looked at this scene without any context. They would find it inconceivable that a young child whose height was a meter lower and whose stature, smaller than the black bear could force the latter into submission.
Gabriel possessed the superior bloodline of the Baconaua. The Baconaua had complete control over the Earth and the Sea. Gabriel learned from his father that he could control the surrounding gravity of the Earth and collapse it with his will.
Under the effects of multiplied gravity, the black bear realized that its struggle was futile and stopped moving. Its expression looked deadpan and lifeless as if it already accepted its fate. Gabriel saw its teary-eyed, melancholic expression and couldn't help but be moved.
Patting its head, Gabriel decided not to beat it up as he stood up and scanned the beasts around him with his eyes. Soon, he returned and found the Black Bear still sitting on the ground, looking as despondent as ever.
"Here, you eat, I eat..." Gabriel threw a two-meter tall mutated deer and the black bear suppressed it under its paw as it stared at Gabriel with an inconceivable light inside its eyes. It didn't expect that the human would feed him instead of beating him up.
Gabriel nodded his head and the black bear started its feast. After finishing its feast, it left half of the carcass for the former as Gabriel sweetly smiled and carried it towards the Cryogenic Stasis Craft. There, his father roasted the meat using one of the Craft's function and shared the cooked, fragrant meat with the bear.
The bear didn't stand on ceremony and immediately pounced towards the piece of meat and started chewing. Its actions made the family of three chuckle, as Gabriel munched on his food. The atmosphere around them contrasted the scorched land and the murky air that wafted around them.
Paired with Gabriel's sweet and innocent smile, the pair of husband and wife stared at each other with a light of gratefulness and understanding. But as Gabriel and the black bear continued its meal, a cold voice suddenly echoed behind him.
"Who's there?! Raise your hands and come out!"
A bright flash of light illuminated the darkness of the crater as Gabriel turned around and for the first time, he saw a member of the same species.
[Intruders Detected!]
[Affinity: Hostile!]
[Danger Detected! Danger Detected!]
[Activating Guardian Angel's Activation Sequence!]
Gabriel's figure was suddenly sucked inside the Cryogenic Stasis Craft as bright flashes of resplendent lights enveloped the vehicle. Its body transformed into numerous weapons and pointed towards the opposite direction.
