The last legacy

The Earth of today is nothing like the Earth of 2026. A lot has changed—not just on our planet, but throughout the universe as well.

However, before we begin, let me tell you something. As the narrator of this story, I must warn you that this tale holds secrets that go far beyond the boundaries of the universe. As the story progresses, one mystery after another will slowly be revealed.

So, without wasting any more time, let me begin.

Year 2025

Our story begins with the normal life of humanity on Earth. Everyone was busy with their daily routines, focused on their future and living without a single worry.

But they say that trouble never announces its arrival.

And that was exactly what happened.

A meteorite fell straight from the sky onto Earth.

From that moment onward, everything changed.

There was no explosion, no fire, and no nuclear-fusion-like blast. Instead, an unusual silence spread across the world.

The reason?

The meteorite that had fallen to Earth was barely the size of a mobile phone. Yet, hidden within that tiny object was an unimaginable amount of power—power capable of changing the lives of everyone on the planet.

The meteorite fell into the Asian Sea, which connected the surrounding regions, including Japan, China, India, and several other countries.

At first, nothing happened. There was no destruction, no disaster, and no visible damage.

But eventually, strange changes began appearing in the Asian Sea.

The meteorite sank into the deepest part of the ocean and slowly dissolved into the water.

What happened next was something even the greatest scientists in history would have struggled to believe. Something beyond human imagination was about to begin.

All the sea creatures started falling into a deep sleep. Before anyone could understand what was happening, almost every creature in the Asian Sea had moved towards the deepest parts of the ocean.

Their bodies began developing strange protective coverings, almost like shells or armour.

And it didn't stop there.

Since the first changes had occurred in the Asian Sea, similar transformations gradually began appearing in oceans across the world. The contaminated water had already spread through ocean currents to different continents.

When this water entered the bodies of land animals through various sources, they too began experiencing strange mutations.

But the most shocking changes occurred in humans.

Water reaches humans through countless sources, and soon, the mutated water had entered the human population as well.

People with weaker immune systems began dying after consuming it. Their bodies simply could not withstand the mysterious changes.

By the time governments understood that something was seriously wrong, it was already too late.

The mutated water had spread rapidly across the world.

Children, adults, and elderly people—almost everyone had consumed it.

Now, humanity's survival depended on one thing: whether the human immune system could withstand the mutation.

Meanwhile, the oceans were becoming increasingly restless.

The transformation of the sea monsters was finally complete.

Suddenly, something enormous appeared above the ocean's surface. At first, people mistook it for a cruise ship or perhaps an aircraft.

But humanity was already struggling to survive its own mutations, so most people ignored the strange sight.

However, it was neither a cruise ship nor an aeroplane.

It was a WHALE.

Its mutation was terrifying. Looking at its enormous size and weight, it seemed as massive as a mountain.

And it wasn't the only one.

Other sea creatures had also transformed into terrifying monsters. Their scales, teeth, and internal organs had evolved into something completely different.

Even land animals had undergone extraordinary mutations, turning into monstrous creatures.

Every species had evolved by transforming its own genetic bloodline, making itself stronger and more powerful than before.

Now, it was humanity's turn.

Compared to animals, humans had relatively lower physical stamina. As a result, humanity suffered the greatest losses during the mutation.

Nearly half of the human population was wiped out by the mysterious water.

Humanity had lost more than any other species.

But those who survived eventually completed their mutations.

The average human height increased to around seven to seven-and-a-half feet, while some exceptional individuals reached heights of up to nine feet.

Their physical strength also increased tremendously. Even an ordinary mutated human could punch through an iron gate with just five punches.

However, these were only the abilities of normal mutated humans.

Some individuals developed something even more extraordinary—Psychic Powers.

These people possessed supernatural abilities and could control certain creatures using the power of their minds.

Meanwhile, the forests had also evolved.

The entire ecosystem of Earth had changed.

20 Years Later...

Twenty years had passed since the beginning of the Earth's transformation.

Our main character, who was practising combat inside his virtual device, was named Asata.

Humanity had advanced tremendously in the field of technology. However, this was only the beginning. There was still much more technological progress waiting to happen.

One of humanity's greatest inventions was Virtual Space, a technology that allowed people to experience realistic combat training in a virtual environment.

And our Asata was practising there.

Suddenly...

The electricity in his house went out.

Asata was extremely poor and had no parents. He was an orphan who had been living on his own.

That year, he had turned eighteen.

According to the rules, people above the age of seventeen had to leave the orphanage.

Just then, his doorbell rang.

A little irritated, Asata muttered,

"Who could be visiting this early in the morning?"

He opened the door.

Standing outside was a man wearing a uniform that looked similar to a school clerk's.

The man spoke,

"Your parcel has arrived from the institution."

Asata looked confused.

"Which institution?"

The clerk replied,

"Black Python Academy."

The moment Asata heard those words, his eyes widened with shock and excitement.

He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

The clerk handed him a digital device, and Asata signed for the parcel.

He quickly took it inside and opened it.

Inside was a letter.

It was an Admission Letter.

The letter stated that he had been selected because of his extraordinary physical strength.

But there was something unusual about Asata.

Since childhood, he had never possessed any special talent.

He always feared that his lack of talent would leave him behind while others moved forward.

He didn't want to be left behind.

That was why he had made a decision.

He had trained his body.

Not through special abilities, not through extraordinary talent, and not by developing a massive muscular physique.

In fact, his body was quite slim. His clothes easily concealed his physical build.

Yet, he had pushed himself to an unbelievable level of strength.

Asata had trained so hard that he could carry weights of up to 1,000 kilograms and still run at the speed of an ordinary human.

He had achieved all of this without possessing a single special talent.

But little did Asata know...

His arrival at the distant institution was about to create a storm.

An institution that had remained peaceful until now was about to experience something extraordinary.

What will happen next?
