Chapter 1: The Beginning of Everything
I don't know how that could happen.
But....
I'm sure everyone will remember what happened that day.
12 years ago, in the year 2200 to be exact.
Disaster suddenly came upon the entire planet earth, at that time everyone was thinking the same thing.
'Is this the fate that humanity has to face?'
Starting on the first day of the disaster, for 7 days the sun had disappeared from the world.
The world was shrouded in darkness, the atmosphere in the world turned very cold and eerie.
There was no warmth from the sun, and everyone could only rely on the bonfire or heating.
Panic and despair have spread throughout the world as if the end of the world has come.
During those 7 days, mysterious black dust grains had descended from the sky.
Under the dark sky, humanity witnessed an unforgettable sight.
The black dust grains that descended from the sky seemed to fall onto the human bodies and enter all of them.
Seeing this, everyone immediately panicked.
They all thought the same thing, that this black dust was a plague that would occur before the end of the world.
Everyone tried to avoid the black dust by covering their bodies with jackets, umbrellas and staying under the roofs of houses. Even people with infinite money started renting an underground shelter for the safety of their families.
Even though many efforts have been made, unfortunately, the black dust can still enter the human body. Whatever object covered their bodies still couldn't stop it, it was as if the black dust wasn't a physical form but a non-physical form.
When they found out that this black dust couldn't be prevented by anything, everyone's minds started to think about treating it. Because of that, the hospital was immediately filled with people from various regions.
Even people who have infinite money began to call their personal doctor to check the strangeness of his body.
But even so, all kinds of technology and traditional medicine still cannot find any strangeness in the human body.
After the 8th day, the darkness that enveloped the entire world had disappeared and the light of the sun rose again.
On that day of the disaster, everyone called it the '7D Dust of the World'.
Even though black dust has disappeared from the world, scientists are still looking for the causes and side effects of what kind of black dust will bring to the human body.
After researching for 3 days, scientists from various countries have got the answer. In the next 3 days, they will hold a world conference which will be broadcast on all media in various parts of the world.
By the time the 3rd day had arrived, everyone in all directions was waiting for a statement from the scientists.
On television and online streaming sites, all people in various directions are a little amazed to see so many scientists sitting in a very large dome room.
Among those scientists, there was only a young man with long, yellow hair like a noble.
That person was the youngest genius scientist of the Sunflower Country, his name was William VI Rosch.
When humanity was still at war with cold weapons, the Rosch family was a noble family in the Sunflower Country that became the largest supplier in the entire world.
But after humanity entered the era of technology, the wealthiest and famous noble families had declined and only William VI Rosch remained in his family.
After waiting for the opening of the organizers to finish, the youngest scientist among them all namely William VI Rosch started walking forward.
"To the public, sorry to have kept you all waiting for 6 days."
"I was a representative of the scientists will announce what we got after examining the bodies of the volunteers."
"We found a seed in the hearts of the people we studied, and there was a foreign particle that looked like a seed in the hearts of the volunteers. When we first saw it, it really took us all by surprise. It seems that these particles are from the Dust of the World that has entered our bodies."
"Currently we scientists still do not know whether these seeds are harmful or not to the human body. But we are all very sure of one thing, that is when the seed in the heart blooms there will be great changes that occur in all of us."
"If any of you feel that something strange is happening to your body, then please call the number below."
"Then those who feel the strangeness in their bodies are expected to isolate yourselves, it's because we still don't know if this will become a disease outbreak or not."
"That's all we'll say to all of you, thanks for all the attention. Remember, I expect all of you to contact us if anyone feels a strange feeling inside of you."
By the time William VI's world conference speech was over, almost all people from all over had a sense of shock and fear towards the foreign particles that were in their bodies.
After the events of 12 years ago, all mankind from all over the world has agreed to enter a new era.
All dates, months, and years have returned to 0.
You could say at this time, we are in the 12th year.
In our current era, only certain people can make the seeds in their hearts bloom.
If the seed of that person's heart has bloomed, then that person will be referred to as 'Awakeners' by other humans.
'Awakeners' or can be called awakened people will acquire a mysterious ability when the seed in their heart has bloomed.
But unfortunately, not all beautiful dreams will happen in the real world.
People who have not awakened, are very afraid of those who have become Awakeners.
With the mysterious abilities of the Awakeners, ordinary humans are very afraid that the Awakeners will go out of control and destroy everything around them.
Especially after what happened 5 years ago.
A ruthless Awakener had shattered the Sunflower Country into ruins in the blink of an eye.
With this tragic incident, governments from all over the world and society began to fear the mysterious abilities possessed by Awakeners. Since then, the Awakeners have been the target of worldwide hatred and were exiled to an island very far from human civilization.
