In a white room, a disembodied robotic feminine voice could be heard talking.
“Welcome to Incarnation. Please hold still while I scan your body”
As the voice finished talking a green light slowly envelop the only person in the white room.
Shortly after the person was scanned, holographic image of the person appeared in the room.
“Scanning complete. Because of the level of realism in Incarnation, you are not allowed to change your body shape. Furthermore as your body in real life changes, your avatar will also be adjusted to match your real life changes. You can however remove any blemishes or scars you may have or add them as well. Would you like to change anything?”
Though the robotic voice finished talking the person in the room did not respond immediately, rather he had a dazed expression as he long at his holographic image, almost as if he did not recognize the holographic image of himself.
Looking at the image he saw a large man that looked to be in his early 20’s, was about 6’ tall with short dark hair. This person had a muscular body that could leave any man jealous, with scars of all different sizes in various spots in his body.
Though he had a fairly handsome face, and an attractive body that many woman would find attractive , if one was to asked what were his most distinctive features, one would say it was his pair of profound eyes that would instill fear into anyone. He had deep, imposing, grey colored eyes that made a person feel like they were being stared down by a savage beast. Anyone that met his gaze would feel like they are prey that are about to fall victim to some pre-historic savage beast.
Looking at the image, the young men could not help but be loss in thought as memories of his life spread through this mind.
He was born to a very rich and powerful Family in this world. His maternal grandfather held a very high position in the North American Alliance (one of the few true decision makers of the alliance). Though his paternal grandparents had already passed away, his father had inherited Lions Enterprises, a leading, multi-billion dollar robotics corporation in the world. Both money and power, one can say that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
When he was born, it was found that he was born with unusually high intelligence and aptitude. Anything that he press his mind to he could quickly accomplish. By the time he was 5, he was already able to speak the 6 national languages of the 6 countries in the world. When he was 7, he had already passed the national test high schoolers needed to pass in order to graduate, not only had he passed it, but he had gotten a perfect score on it. If it wasn’t for him being too young and his parents refusing to send him to college, he mostly like would’ve already graduated from there as well.
To hone his discipline, his parents had signed him up for martial arts—a way for him to hone both his body and mind. Though his accomplishments in martial arts did not match his accomplishment in academics, he was still considered to be fairly talented in martial arts.
He was someone that aptly fit the one in a generation genius. With his innate talents and the pedigree he was born into, it was widely believe that he would be one of the most powerful people in the world when he grew up with both money and authority.
The promising future that he had took a very nasty turn when he was 10.
On this day he was returning to North America from the European Alliance with his parents after they concluded a business deal in what used to be France. Due to the advances in technology, this flight for Europe to North America would have only taken around an hour and half over the Atlantic Ocean.
Unfortunately on there flight path they encountered a category 5 tide phenomena. These tide phenomena’s were something that randomly appeared over the oceans after the devastations the 5th world war brought. Scientists were still unsure on how they formed exactly, however what was know was that they were impossible to track and predict.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
A tide phenomena was essentially a super hurricane that stretch all the way from the ocean to the stratosphere. A common category 1 tide phenomena had the same amount of strength as a category 5 hurricane, and in addition to having the same characteristics of a hurricane it also had something extra, something that gave it an extra umph compared to hurricanes: lightning.
These tide phenomena was one of the reasons that humanity’s population had not yet recovered to what it was before the 5th world war. Whenever a tide phenomena happened near land, the damage that it caused was unimaginable, with the most damage being done in the first century passing the world war.
The only good thing was that Tide Phenomena’s were somewhat rare, and a category 1 TP only happened once every 2-3 years, and with each increase in category, they become all the more rare. Including the category 5 TP that hit this plane on this particular day, since the 5th world war 200 years ago, this was the 3rd one.
The category 5 TP appearing out of nowhere was truly a disaster that descended on the Lions jet plane flying over the Atlantic. Luckily the Jet plane was one of the most advanced piece of technology in the world. Since the moment that TPs started appearing, humanity had been rapidly advancing their technologies in order to survive these events. With the current level of technology, a city could easily weather a category 1 TP, and manage a category 2 TP. It would take a category 3 TP to cause any damage to current city’s. In addition to this, it was also rumored that the technology needed to create plasma shields that could defend an entire city was near completion.
The outer layer was built with the latest manufacturing ability and the best metals in the entire planet. A category 1 TP would not be able to destroy it, and it would take a category 2 TP to be able to damage it. Furthermore the inside of the plane was also processed with materials that would only receive damage from a category 2 TP.
In addition to this the plane also had an emergency cabin in case of unforeseen circumstances like encountering a TP. The cabin itself was made with the prototype technology of creating a plasma shield. With this plasma shield prototype, the cabin was rumored to be able to survive under a category 4.
Taken their 10 years old son, the couple quickly went into the cabin in hopes that with all the defense mechanism of the plane they would be able to survive this disaster.
The cabin itself was fairly small and could barely fit the family of 3. Furthermore, the cabin was also see through, so within a minute of then getting in they were able to see the outside of the plane slowly being destroyed by the TP. Hugging the their child in a protective manner, the parents closed their eyes and slowly waited for it to be over. Within all the damage that the plane was taken, the 10 year old child slowly lost consciousness............
A long time later, the child slowly woke up. Waking up, he found him self in a small, dark room that he barely fit in.
“Mother!!!, Father!!!” The boy screamed as he tried to get out of the room.
Eventually he found a latch that he pulled and a door in the room slowly opened out.
Looking around he found that the room he was in was still within the cabin that his parents had gotten into when the TP hit the plane. It looked to have been one last emergency measure in the cabin. Realizing that his parents put him in that small room so that he can survive, he looked around trying to find his parents.
Looking around he found that the cabin was mostly destroyed and through what remain of the cabin he saw a sparkling beach side. On that beach he saw two humans lying down.
“Mom, dad,” he yelled as he ran to the two lying humans.
As he got closer to the bodies, he saw them littered with cuts, broken bones, and dried blood. It was at that moment that he realized, that the 2 bodies in the beach were corpses.
After a long time, and arranging graves for his parents, the boy started to investigate his surroundings. He made the emergency room in the cabin his base of operations, while surviving with the meal solutions that were in the small room. The meal solutions were enough to last him for 1-2 years.
After months of grieving, burying, and investigating the boy found that he was in a deserted large island that had a lush forest in its center.
Well maybe deserted isn’t the right word to describe the island. The island was home to many terrifying beasts.
After the 5th world war, the animals in the world started evolving to survive in the post apocalyptic world that humans had created.
The animals grew stronger, smarter and bigger. They could no longer be categorized as animals, but rather terrifying beasts. They were another by product of the 5th world war, and also another reason as to why humanities population was still small compared to what it was before the 5th world war.
In this uninhabited island, the small boy fought to survive after the death of his parents.........
“Do you wish to change any features about your body?” The robotic voice asked the young men again.
Slowly coming to himself, the young man shakes his head and said “no”
