In 1859, the Earth was struck by the most powerful solar storm ever recorded, known as the Carrington Event. British astronomer Richard Carrington observed sunspots that suddenly and briefly flashed brightly before vanishing. Within hours, the effects were felt on Earth. Telegraph systems worldwide went haywire; electric shocks were reported, and colorful auroras lit up the night sky far beyond their usual polar locations. The event served as an early discovery of the Sun's potential to disrupt Earth's fledgling technologies.
Fast forward to the modern day, and a Carrington-like event occurs again. This time, the consequences are devastating. Our world, now deeply integrated with complex electronic systems and networks, plunges into chaos. Electrical grids fail, rendering entire cities dark. Communication networks collapse, isolating communities and nations. Satellites malfunction, disrupting everything from weather forecasts to GPS services. The world is thrown into bedlam, causing widespread panic and destruction as society struggles to adapt to a sudden and severe technological blackout.

The Genesis Cosmos: The Displacement of the Sun (Volume I)
On December 21, 2012, without warning, the Solar System suddenly got transported into another world. Humanity quickly noticed the change in the skies and in the cosmos. As panic spread, all human devices were disrupted, gadgets shut down and telecommunications went static. A mysterious woman then appeared on every screen, claiming to be a goddess. It was revealed that she was the one who summoned the Solar System, explaining that she had done it for a reason that she's been searching for life beyond her cosmos for eons. She then wishes to learn more about humanity's way of life by sending her creations to Earth. What will come of humanity after this event? How will they cope with such an unprecedented phenomenon unlike anything in Earth's history, especially that it occurred right on the date that humanity feared the most: 21st of December, 2012, the date that many feared to be the end of the world? 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯, also known as "𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗜𝘀𝗲𝗸𝗮𝗶", is a tale of our Solar System being summoned to another world. It examines how not only humanity, but also the otherworlders, and even the lesser gods adapt to this new reality. It explores themes of astronomy, philosophy, science, geopolitics, sociology, psychology, history, culture, economics, ethics, theology, and civilization convergence. It is not just an isekai, but it might also be a thought-provoking journey beyond human existence and reality. ----- DISCLAIMER: Under heavy editing, frequent revisions, late uploads/slow updates, and inconsistent publishing.
