In a future world governed by the Educational Institution Headquarters, one ultimate goal is drilled into every person from birth: to gain acceptance into Academia, a legendary institution. Hyria is one such student, devoting every second of her time, every molecule of her being, and every thought in her mind-until she stumbles upon something life changing.

A small piece of clay.

From an unassuming piece of clay, her world is turned upside down. Rejecting all codes of conduct and expected behavior, Hyria begins to see that Academia is not life's sole purpose. The Educational Institution Headquarters reacts swiftly, and works to smother the unrest that begins to rustle through society-but it is not so easily snuffed out. The change has already taken flight, and the shell has cracked.

After the Earth has been struck by a nuclear explosion causing a genetic mutation, the survivors divided themselves according to what intelligence they belonged to. But when mankind completely lost humanity, how can Abigail fulfill her promise? ***** When a nuclear explosion called The Swept wiped half of the Earth's remaining population, those who survived then were exposed to a radiation. A radiation causing a genetic mutation in an individual's brain and altering its intellectual capacity resulting to an increase in Intelligence Quotient (IQ) level. However, years after the explosion happened, the decrease in fertility rate became visible. Due to this, numerous scientists searched everywhere and tried everything just to find a cure, but all they could ever find is an alternative way of reproduction. An inhumane way.

Because of this, she's determined to enter Nucleus Academy and eager to fulfill her promise--to restore Earth's humanity especially empathy, and to prove that being humane is limitless. But how can she fulfill her promise if there are so many overwhelming obstacles blocking her way? Apathetic people. Inhumane experiments. Mad scientists. And a strange organization. Will she be able to fulfill her promise or will she break it and gave up on mankind? LANGUAGE: TAGLISH (TAGALOG-ENGLISH)

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
