Hi ! It's my first time writing an original novel, I will appreciate any comment or suggestion. Be it about the story or grammars. Happy reading!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earth year 2058, Countries are becoming aware of environmental issues. This happened because of the sudden breakthrough in the amount of pollution, making it unbearable for earth to endure. Scientist were predicting that our earth won’t last long, approximately only 100 years before it breaks, annihilating every life forms slowly.
Everyone were uneasy, countries are fighting for precious fertile lands. All sort of pollutant was banned. Even though everything has been done, the disaster still couldn’t be prevented. Lands cracked, lakes dried, ocean became green colored, animals extinct, and people died.
World’s top figures were planning their own actions, and war could no longer be avoided. But suddenly, before they could make any moves, a totally unexpected “miracle” appeared.
Huge swords made of light with different colors suddenly descended on every part of the world. The swords was enormous, they were as big as football stadium but taller than skyscrapers. The swords emit a bright aura of its own color, turning everything that it touched into dusts. It stabbed right into the ground, stopping halfway. The sword planted a quarter of its body into the ground, making the foundation so that it could stood there firmly.
People were watching the scene with their gaping mouth, everyone thought that it was the end of the world. But before they could think, the swords suddenly emit a very bright light.
The light enveloped everyone for a moment of blindness. After a few seconds, they could barely see with their own eyes again. Unfortunately, what they saw was something they never expected.
They wasn’t seeing their usual place, everything suddenly changed into a place they’ve never been before. There are no buildings, roads or even their belongings. Instead, everything became a land filled with grass and trees.
Green forests could be seen everywhere, lake with clear blue water, and sky with no trace of pollution whatsoever. The only thing that stays the same are the swords of light that no longer emit their auras.
Seeing the spectacular scenery made them realize that they are no longer on their places, or even countries. Heck, they even thought that this place was no longer their ‘earth’ !
The people were in chaos for a moment, but because of humanity’s nature of adaption, they slowly regained their own pace. They build a momentary system, secured the food and water supply, and started to build their own ‘home’. Even though they only have what they was wearing or holding, and there were no kind of electricity and satellite to communicate, people still managed to survive.
In fact, they can survive better here.
“Life here is pretty hard, but it was way better than in our former planer, at least we don’t have to fight for lands or foods” said one of the people there.
The swords transported everyone to random places. Races, gender, everything were mixed in the process. Language was a problem at first, but they settled by using english as primary language.
Everyone was cooperating. Engineers made weapons, soldiers hunted, scientist researched, even politicians were trying everything they could do to help. There were still some troubles, but with majority trying to cooperate, it was solved without a hitch.
...
After a month of settling themselves, they found out that this world is not very different from earth. Even though the floras and faunas are different, they are still based on a same concept. The majority of meats and fruits are edible. The leftover such as animal skins and plant leaves or roots can be processed in a same manner.
Still, there are two things that they couldn’t understand.
The first is the sword. The sword were still a mystery for them. Everyone who touched the swords suddenly vanished. Leaving nothing behind. This made nobody else dared to touch the swords again.
The second is that there are a mysterious life force filling the entire world. It exists in the air, the living beings, even inside the ground. The scientists are referring to them as ‘mana’. They knew that they could utilize it, but they needed time to figure it out.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
...
Unfortunately, their peaceful time were not eternal. Suddenly, from the depth of the forests, ferocious creatures emerged. They are countless in number and they attacked every people they came across. Normal weapon doesn’t work on them because they are covered in a layer of protective mana, making it useless.
Humanity are facing their biggest disaster. These ‘Mana-Beast’ are forcing them to stay on defense, unable to go out from their hiding. They now understand why they never saw other survivor coming out from the forest, because everyone that is separated are instantly killed by these creature.
Constant raid by Mana Beast and shortage of foods and waters were once again bringing humanity to the brink of extinction. Everything was in chaos. It was like forcing humanity to fight stronger version of dinosaurs.
When there were only less than half people surviving, suddenly another ‘miracle’ happened.
Those people who vanished into the swords suddenly emerged. They had scars everywhere in their body. More importantly, they had a different aura from before.
It was just like they have a complete control over mana in their surroundings!
Seeing the scene before them, they instantly grabbed any weapon they came across. Those weapons they held were just a normal weapon, but in their hands, those weapon unexpectedly emit a faint aura.
They charged right into the Beasts, swinging their swords, stabbing them. Those protective mana layers were canceled by the auras their weapons emit.
Those people showed amazing body maneuver and weapon control. It was as if they were a great soldier from their past life.
Before those beasts could react, fireballs with the size of a soccer ball suddenly hit them. It wasn’t only fireballs. Lightnings, water pillars, frosts, even the ground was being controlled by those people.
Their attack forced the beasts to retreat. It was truly a spectacular sight.
...
Humanity can now fight in an equal ground against Mana Beasts. They established themselves once again near the sword. They understood that to be able to survive, their only hope were the power that the swords bestowed.
The power of ‘Mana-Bearers’!
Over the time, humanity produced more and more of Bearers. In just a few years they could subdue the beasts that once reign over their former place. Humanity regained their freedom, thus they started to make a civilization.
After decades of establishing themselves, humanity could then venture to other places. They finally found other survivors that survived in the same way they did. Those survivors made their own systems, and after a hundred years, Kingdoms was made.
After another decades, the kings of those kingdom met each other in a royal conference. After exchanging many information, they found out the facts that this planet which they refer as ‘Pangea’ has a size of half the earth.
Not everyone was transported to Pangea, and after hundred years of fighting, the rough number of the entire population was approximately 100 million people scattered throughout the globe.
This whole exchanging information was a huge thing for them. They could now unravel more mysteries of this world. How the mana and the bearer works and how big of a threat the Mana Beasts are.
And more importantly, they decided to make a trade pact and were willing to cooperate in any way to improve the situation.
Finally, they all agreed that on that very day, a new hope was beginning for humanity. And they decided to mark the date as Year 0000 – ETB. Era of The Beginning.
