Chapter 1
The world did not end on the day the light crossed the sky.
It began.
Two hundred and forty years ago, a blue-white mass tore through Earth’s atmosphere like a falling second sun.
Witnesses reported that the sky opened in silence before impact—no thunder, no warning, only an intense glow that turned night into day for brief seconds.
The object was approximately forty-five meters in diameter.

When it touched the ground, it was not only the earth that trembled.
Something invisible spread across the planet.
In the following years, children began to be born different.
Some bent metal with their hands.
Others altered the gravity around their own bodies.
Some ignited air without phosphorus.
Some manipulated electricity as an extension of their fingers.
Some touched concepts no one could explain.
And then came fear.
A decade after the Light Event, the world entered war.
Not one, but nine.
Successive global conflicts, each more devastating than the last.
Countries were erased from the map.
The climate changed.
Oceans advanced.
Ecosystems collapsed.
Humanity discovered that the true impact of the meteor was not the collision with the ground—it was the awakening of power.
THE ELEMENT
Scientists called it Quenz.
An unknown element present in the cells of altered individuals.
It fueled extraordinary abilities, acting as a biological energy source.
Without it, powers did not exist.
But there was a problem.
Quenz was lethal to ordinary humans.
Direct exposure resulted in poisoning or death by cellular radiation.
Hospitals had to be separated.
Protocols were created.
Society slowly divided between those who carried Quenz in their blood and those who did not.
Today, about twenty percent of humanity manifests some form of ability.
Among other living beings, the number reaches forty percent.
Power became something common.
And at the same time, too dangerous.
THE ORGANIZATION
Hundreds of millions died in the World Wars that followed the Event.
At the end of the first decade of destruction, twenty-nine countries signed a historic agreement.
SHIPSH was born.

An independent international organization created to regulate, monitor, and if necessary, contain superpowered individuals.
Its stated goal was simple: prevent the world from self-destruction again.
It was meant to be neutral.
Free from political influence.
Above nations.
But power is rarely neutral.
Eight major powers—the richest, most armed, and most influential—took indirect control of the structure of the organization.
Although SHIPSH declares itself independent, its decisions often reflect strategic interests.
Still, it remains the only barrier between order and collapse.
SHIPSH classifies individuals according to threat level: from Class C to Alpha Class.
A few, considered beyond Alpha, are not to be captured—they must be eliminated.
Because some powers cannot be contained.
THE TYPES
Over time, super beings were divided into nine major groups.
There are Mega Beings, physically superior to nature itself.
Meta-Physicals, who manipulate gravity, electricity, and even dimensions.
Conceptuals, capable of touching invisible ideas such as dreams, sensations, or abilities.
Specialists, nearly invincible under specific conditions.
Transporters, unpredictable and mutable.
Out-of-List beings, anomalies still not understood.
And finally, the extremely rare Special Classification individuals—one in a billion—capable of altering the very structure of life or existence.
Not all survive their own gifts.
Some powers consume energy.
Others consume life.
The mortality rate among untrained manifesters exceeds sixty percent.
Power is a gift.
And a sentence.
THE DIVISION
Humanity has never been so unequal.
Not only by wealth or territory.
But by biology.
People with Quenz in their blood have genetic incompatibilities with ordinary humans.
Fear created prejudice.
Prejudice created isolation.
Isolation created conflict.
And amid all of this exists a nation that does not participate in the game.
The Carmen Family rules a highly advanced archipelago, technologically superior to the rest of the world.
None of its members possess Quenz.
They remain isolated, distrustful, and politically closed.
Centuries ago, the world carried out a massacre against so-called “person-animals” outside their territory.
Since then, Carmen has not recognized external authority.
They watch.
And wait.
The world today is not the same as before the Light.
It is more powerful.
More fragile.
More divided.
And perhaps it is only at the beginning of something far greater.
Because the meteor did not only bring power.
It brought change.
And humanity has not yet decided what it will do with it.
