Prologue

Hi Readers!

You can actually skip this part and jump on chapter 1. This is just a brief introduction of the world where Gwyn lives,  when you suddenly got confused you can come back here later. 

Welcome to the unspoken future and have fun!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever wondered what really happened in the far future?

Does what they called technology really flourished?

Does nature withered like how they predicted?

Does human population had grown and had consume all natural existence?

Will the lands really be gorged by the waters?

And, will the human stays human and their rationalization stays intact?

The future is really unpredictable, no one knows what will happen, there's no certainty and thus will always remain a mystery.

Some might find the answers but will the truth be known?

The only one thing that is certain, is that the history written from the past are bound to happen again trapped in unending cycle of evolution.

Generations have lapsed, many have already evolved and some just perished in a world when new generation has existed. Child born with abnormalities with such appearing to be identical to those of animals, society called them freaks with physical deformities.

They were abandoned, sold to research facilities and were subject for public display.

Grown-ups soon developed the same, known physical defects carrying the qualities of animals had rapidly and widely spread; society was concerned by its threat and they started to study its cause and find its cure.

When almost all the population had experienced the so called evolution, society have been accustomed to it and became the norm. They called the non-human counterpart as Lyze which means evolutionary zeal that represents the connection and adaptation of human body to other forms of the living.

Their lives intertwined with the presence of other creatures, they became wary of the preservation of the remaining natural habitats. Technology development as the past has once called were not forbidden yet had already been abandoned because were believed to ruin of what was left by nature, remnants preserved and yet never intended for use.

People started to forget artificial intelligence and had been interested in the unexpected evolution that had occurred.

Mountains were drowned by the overflowing sea, small cities were buried and few had only survived.

At later period when only five kingdoms were left and were separated by continent, a new development emerged. The human brain's ability had reached the extent of making impossible things happen. The brain has the capability to use its crucial part of providing things unimaginable, limited yet enough to change the world's perspective.

Of the five kingdoms, one was brewing an internal conflict which paved their way to their isolation.

A twin was born from a royal family, one with the dark heart of a vulture and the other is pure as a tamed lion. Their father couldn't decide who to succeed the throne and let the brothers showcase their talents.

The lion who was Jad abdicate and his brother Ower the vulture took over and become abusive. Ower wanted to make their own continent the highest of the five, he forced his people to be full grown, the opposite of infants who are not able to transform.

Those who was not able to wake their Lyze even being tormented by Ower were thrown to fire like scraps that didn't pass the standards.

Jad was against his brother's cruelty and became a burden to his governance. He was then banished from their palace and was stripped from his title as a royalty. With sole ruler of his kingdom, Ower created a serum from his own blood and was called Tanbrea.

The serum targets the brain waves to bring out the best from the receiver, it pushes them to crave for more and never settle for less.

The serum prevented them from killing their colleagues as it prohibits the mind and body to take action whenever a killing intent was detected but the greatest worth of the serum was the loyalty inhibited to the provider and thus must be accepted whole-heartedly.

The inferiors were eliminated just to satisfy the king's ideal society, those who are against him runaway and hid themselves to the forgotten wasteland.

The runaways and the banished prince met and had understood each other and came to an agreement of support having the same creed and set with the common goal.

The serum Lumnoux was born from Jad's blood, the opposite of Tanbrea that denotes positivity, happiness and contentment.

The numbers of Lumnoux increased and had caught the attention of the king that brought to the emergence of the war between the twins.

Tanbrea with greater strength but fewer numbers and Lumnoux who escalated their population without set standards. Tanbrea was outnumbered and Ower was cornered and conceded, Jad was soft-hearted and want to save his brother from his inner misery and offered his own serum that soon was accepted.

Nobody from them were aware that the serums were never meant to be combined, the effect will numb the brain leaving an empty shell that will soon crack and vanish.

Ower had died from the sudden mixture of the serums and his departure was felt by the Tanbrea resulting to a chaotic kingdom.

Jad ordered every Lumnoux to capture all of Tanbrea and detain them on the underground dungeon just beneath the palace.

The maze like underground dungeon were covered with special minerals called black kisk necessary to suppress any mind abilities and Lyze.

The war has ended.

All Tanbrea were captured but few days later the dungeon entrance collapsed and all of them were trapped underground yet even so they continued to survive and live as another part of society buried and isolated from the Lumnoux.

It was the start of the division between Lumnoux and Tanbrea as the dwellers of Morning and Darkness.
