Year 2097, humans are devastated with the after effects of rapid technological advancement. Gadgets like cellular phones to software including computer systems created many years ago, silently altered the genetic make-up of human beings, cutting their lifespan by half. The desperation of humans was answered when a cure was made by a leading university. This gift from the heavens, that was meant to save, brought hell to mankind. The cure made hundreds of thousands human births in a day with a normal life span, but its side effects created humans with a new genetic set up. These brand new human had defects like having an extra eye and six fingers. Normal humans despised the new species with the fear of them ruling the world. Raging wars occurred, until both sides had innumerable casualties. The day of the King’s Wrath, as the humans who survived called it, was the day when all of the defective species were annihilated and humans decreased in number to a hundred. The remaining humans created a method to make their numbers rapidly rise again and it was called Clowning. This method avoids the act of copulation to reduce defects but instead manipulating human cells to create a perfect human; with perfect thinking and a perfect body. This new species called Newborns are starting to create a perfect world, every human’s livid dream. Eros Cervantes is a human survivor, who made himself a researcher in order to unravel the secrets of Clowning. Follow his story as he tries to adapt in a world where perfect thinking Newborns already rule. Enter his mind with ideals that are different from others and his ultimate perception that humans should not be perfect, for they have to experience mistakes and pain, for they are no God. Thanks for reading! This is my first work and I need insights for improvement so feel free to give your feedback.

Humanity used to thrive in 2035 until a group of scientists started playing God. This science team was recruited by all the top world leaders and they've begun receiving demands for a super soldier, and they began experimenting on animals, which gave the scientists expected results, but like all experiments, there was a chance for failure. The humanoid animals, or Anthros for short, started getting smarter, faster than the scientists expected, or reacted. The Anthros broke free and took what was left of the 'White Mist,' the substance that created them, and put it into the planet's air supply. Long story short, most animals worldwide have begun transforming into Anthros, and started devastating the world's militaries before attacking cities. Humanity is now facing extinction with their last millions while the Anthro civilization is over 2 Billion strong and counting. The war between Humans and Anthros has lasted for over 50 years, and while humans may be disadvantaged against the Anthros higher strength, speed, endurance, and intelligence, they still beat Anthros with improvisation, adaptability, and tactics. The war has destroyed all four Eastern continents, leaving behind a creature both Humans and Anthros call Reapers, who are husks of the person they were. The Anthros have near complete control over North America and are fighting Humanity in South America, but the main human bases are located on the Hawaiian islands. With death seeming inevitable for human kind, can nothing stop humanity from extinction? Zero has just graduated from high school with good marks and a scholarship. His family wanted to celebrate, so they said they would wait for him. He went back to grab his wallet, and as he turned around, he started falling in a wormhole, closing afterwards. (This is my first story, and the art seen does not belong to me.) (Book 1 of War series)
