In the year 2025, human civilization was still shackled by the petty conflicts of its past. While nations bickered over borders and resources, they remained oblivious to the grander, more brutal reality of the cosmos. That changed the day the "guests" arrived—not by choice, but by accident.
A routine patrol ship of the Universal Alliance, swept off course by a violent interstellar space storm, was spat out into the quiet backwaters of the Solar System. They found a star system starving for cosmic energy, its "Dead Zone" status only broken by the faint pulse of a small blue planet.
When the massive interstellar vessel entered Earth's orbit, the world was paralyzed by a cold, primal dread. The top leaders of Earth—a fractured council of rival nations—assembled to meet the newcomers, expecting an invasion. Instead, they met a Captain who had already mastered their languages in the time it took to descend.
The Captain's message was a sobering wake-up call. He spoke of a universe teeming with life, but fueled by cruelty; a place where "cosmic predators" and hostile civilizations extinguished primitive races like candles in a storm. He offered them the New Civilization Protocol: a 500-year tenure of protection from the Alliance.
The deal was absolute. In exchange for joining the galactic community, the Alliance would ignite the Earth's Core to produce cosmic energy, provide evolution techniques, and establish a Virtual Universal Link to connect humanity to the digital consciousness of the cosmos.
To the leaders, the choice was an illusion. They watched in stunned silence as the Captain hovered effortlessly above the ground, his presence alone defying every law of physics they knew. Facing the choice between evolution or eventual extinction, the nations of the world dissolved their flags and united under a single banner: The Human Federation.
The Great Evolution began.
Using worldwide genetic testing, the Federation identified the "First Batch"—those with the highest compatibility for absorbing the new cosmic energy. From these pioneers, the first classes emerged: Martial Warriors, who honed their bodies into living weapons, and Spiritual Warriors, who mastered the unseen energies of the mind.
As their bodies evolved, so did their intellects. With minds sharpened by cosmic energy, humanity's technological growth accelerated at a pace once thought impossible, turning the once-primitive "Dead Zone" into a burgeoning cradle of potential.
