Our world has become a place where dimensional rifts have become a common occurrence, space is broken, and attempted invasions by alien species have become as common as a cold war between countries.

  In the wake of the apocalypse, the 6th element was introduced to the Earth's atmosphere from foreign worlds, "Mana". This mana showed compatibility with few people more than others they are the ones called "awakened"*.

  In ancient texts*, it's described that the universe is made up of five main elements, they are:

  1. Soil

  2. Water

  3. Fire

  4. Air

  5. Ether

  The soil, water, fire and air in different proportions formed different planets and stars and were gross elements, while the Ether formed time and space and was a subtle element. But for Alien species discovered a sixth element unknown to our ancestors. It was "Mana"

  It was stronger than Ether and could bend time and space if wielded properly. However, it was an element subtler than Ether, so one can neither feel nor see it directly. So, it didn't have a direct role in creation; rather, it was the power behind creation.

  After creation, the creator saw potential in a few creatures to reach him more than others. To test them, he purposefully left a small part of his own Divine energy* called "Mana", by others later.

  The created beings worked hard to reach the creator in the beginning, but as time passed by, the competition turned into a bloody power struggle. Weaker beings who were not compatible with Mana left for a separate place and continued to thrive.

  *One of these beings was humans' ancestors. However, the bloody power struggle continued, but the beings forgot that their purpose was to reach the creator and not dominate weaker creations.

  As the wars became better, the originally created beings* now alien to humans, continued; the humans started to live on Earth and slowly evolved. Their intellect increased as years passed by and they developed.

  They developed to the point that they started searching for life on other planets. They reach far and wide in space in search of new life. However, they were not the only ones trying to find life in space.

  'The Victor'* of the war was searching for the surviving species as well, and he met humans 300 years ago. He initially sweet-talked the humans, and humans thought of it as a great achievement of discovering and befriending aliens. The whole world was celebrating.

  However, one day the reason he was searching for survivors became clear. It was to eliminate any future threats by killing the survivors. The space station nearest to their planet was the first one to be destroyed, followed by others.

  They tracked it back to Earth and started creating dimensional rifts by bending space and time on their will using Mana. The army of the sole "original created being " alive, we call him "The Victor " started attacking Earth.

  We fought with our full power, but our firearms, made of a gross element, had no effect on the much superior, Mana-wielding army of 'The Victor'. At that time, when our world was about to collapse, we saw a ray of hope. This hope was 'the awakened'.

  'Robert Lee', was the first legendary awakened. A true hero, not awakened, alive or dead, is as powerful as he was. When the first general of 'The Victor ' was trying to invade Earth, he fought him and died a glorious death 200 years ago.

  It's said he used an overpowered skill just before his death, disrupting Victoria's army's uninterrupted access to Earth. So, now, after a dimensional rift is opened, it takes a few days before it can be broken and 'The Victoria's army' can attack the Earth.

  In the meantime, the hunters, Enter the rift and try their best to kill the designated soldiers that are stuck in the dimensional rifts.

  "What was the name of that overpowered skill ?" A student in the class asked

  " At that time, the system didn’t exist, so generally, skills didn't have names, or even if they did, Hunters Lee didn't share them with the world!" The teacher replied while in a deep meditation.

  She finally opened her eyes as the bell rang; she started to collect her books from the desk and prepared to leave " Okay, kids, so that's it for today's lesson! We will read the chapter in detail next lecture. Enjoy your break !" The teacher said cheerfully and left the class

  As the whole class started to move with a hustle, Jiya was still looking out of the window, as uninterested in the break as she was in the history lecture.
