Chapter 0: Prelude

Author's note:

I started revising some parts of the story as I myself find it very dull. I will be re-uploading them one by one and updating them if I have the time. There might be a lot of grammar mistakes here as I am not really good at English sentence structure.

As to those who haven’t read my story before, I will just inform you that I have only written a few chapters and I will be re-uploading them after revising them. The chapters are 2k-4k words long but expect slow updates. Blame my laziness, lack of time, and motivation.LOL I am just writing just for fun and to ease my boredom. I am not promising anything coz I always let myself down and get bored easily. So let’s just keep it simple, comment down if you like or hate my writing, or if you have some random suggestions and stuffs that can help me, coz I am not a good writer so I am trying to improve myself. Seriously, I need a lot of help. Haha

Oh well, just read at your own risk. lol ;)

Irregular Elementalist

Curiosity and Greed.

Humans naturally possess such characteristics. In a sense, they are both double-edge swords prepared to slash our backs if we let our guard down for just a moment. Nevertheless, in the positive perspective, these two characteristics combined led us to where we are right now.

Technology.

Yes, one of its biggest products is Technology.

In the vast science of medicine and supercomputer, technology has its prevalent impact, enabling more and more advance procedures, practices, and experiments which in the past we can only dream of. New types of medical tools and machinery continue to develop even further that advanced types of cures and prevention methods was now possible.

All of these happened in the passage of time. But do we have any idea what methods were made and implemented to fulfill such desires? Just for us to advance in such a state?

We don’t have any idea.

PLANET EZPHEURIS - YEAR 31E

A planet inhabited by more or less 3 billion people. A world where an element called ‘Mana’ is abundant. This element is used to control other Elements – Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and many more known and mysterious elements. But, unfortunately, only third of this population can see, feel, manipulate and exploit its prowess.

These people are called ‘Elementalists’.

Country of Teskia

Est. Population: 60, 000

Approximate No. of Elementals: 32.4%

‘Mana is the symbol of Power.’

Those who can’t wield it are placed in the bottom of the pyramid. The majority of them are slaves, servants, workers, poor and normal people.

People who can control ‘Mana’ are deemed gifted and place at the higher structure of the pyramid. Those who are proved powerful and influential are called first rate Elementalists and they are always put in the highest authority. Those who are placed in second and third are grouped together below the first class. While the elites and influential people with low-level power control over mana are put in the middle structure of the pyramid.

There are also those families or nobles who are considered very wealthy, which garnered them a bit of connections from the top and because of this they stand between the middle and bottom structure.

In short, Elementalists are the ones who rule each country, to its cities, up to the lowest group of the society. In this world, power is the key, not money.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Technology in Teskia has long reached the period of Super microcomputers when compared to other countries in the world. But despite these advancements, the Country of Teskia, fell in the number of Elementalists their country could produce.

They wanted to make up for this scarcity with their advance technology. However, technology alone cannot measure up to those who could wield mana.

Due to this, their unwarranted curiosity and greed to become powerful, not allowing themselves to be left behind by other powerful countries, they were bound to overstep their limits.

They dreamt of creating a device that enables those who cannot use mana into someone that can use and manipulate it, without obstructions, defying the norms of using mana.

After years of questioning, stipulating, and endless trials and errors, using the advance technologies that they had -- the first nanochip was invented.

The nanochip was called NanoCore IS01, capable of processing data 50 times faster than normal microchips, but it can only hold one software program – the ‘Invoke System’.

The Invoke System was programmed specifically to automate the use and control of mana and all the other elements there is. But the chip itself was made to access the brain’s storage and calculation area and enhance the brain’s capacity and capabilities.

This kind of system was completely unheard of in the history of computers. And soon, this will be a system that will challenge the very foundation of their knowledge regarding mana itself.

EzCorp, was known as the biggest and the most sophisticated company in terms of technological advancements in Teskia, and also the sole creator of the NanoCore IS01.

But behind this name, EzCorp was operating secretly. As they have produced a hundred copies of the NanoCore, they also need subjects to test its performance.

What they needed were young and healthy brains to use. They don’t want adult’s brains because of their matured and complex processes compared to the fresh and uncontaminated processes of young minds. Yes, they used children, specifically three years of age, just to find a subject that can resonate a hundred percent with the NanoCore IS01 chip. They produced almost a hundred copies of these chips only for this purpose.

One by one, children started to go missing, creating a huge uproar in the whole country of Teskia. The authorities only speculated that this was the work of some unknown organization and they were doubling their efforts to find these children and bring them back to their families. But months have passed; still they were not able to find any lead to this case.

The EzCorp Company proceeded with their plans. All the children gone through their implants, but none of them resonated completely with the system. Some of them only improved in different areas of their brains but none of them gain access to the system itself.

A year later, EzCorp activities were exposed to the public. Shortly it was known, that the cause of the missing children all around the country was all EzCorp’s doing. The authorities confirmed that they were not just abducting children, but they used them as subjects in their experimentations. And by this, EzCorp has been forced to shut down.

All the children were sent into a special laboratory to check whether they are experiencing any abnormalities in their bodies or not. After some time, the children were safely sent back to their homes, temporarily, as they were still under observation. Some of them were needed to be extensively observed because a few were still unconscious and others showed abnormalities.

After the incident and after thorough examination on these children, Mana Specialists found out that these children resonates with mana around them. For this reason, the authorities created a school, exclusively for these children, for them to learn the basics of mana. At the same time, the school will serve as a giant surveillance laboratory, to of course continuously observe the children for possible after effects of the experiments made to them.
