With all the strange occurrences in the world—mysterious energy, superhumans, sorcerers, shamans, immortal trainees, and portals—no one truly understands what is happening. In the midst of this chaos, Egypt remains silent, revealing nothing, which only fuels more questions.
Everyone now believes that the next event will be the emergence of monsters—creatures that will kill thousands, expose heroes and villains, and turn the weak into stepping stones for the strong, just like in other stories. The world has become a fantasy novel filled with secrets, hidden organizations, complex politics, and economic conflicts.
But... reality was different.
No one expected that the monster event would not happen yet.
Instead, something else emerged—something both familiar and unfamiliar.
Something the world was not prepared to face.
A single event that would change everything.

The Disease That Shattered Balance
What is the greatest threat to humanity?
That their own nature betrays them.
Throughout history, the ability to adapt and evolve is what made humans the dominant species on this planet.
But what if that very ability turned against them?
A mysterious epidemic spread suddenly!
All over the world, people began to feel exhausted. They did not become superhumans as some had hoped; instead, they collapsed in the streets, weakened and helpless.
It wasn't just isolated cases—millions were infected overnight.
A once-bustling metropolis filled with towering skyscrapers and vibrant life now lay in eerie silence, its streets littered with fallen bodies, a grim testament to the unfolding catastrophe.
At first, doctors assumed it was a new virus, like COVID-19. The World Health Organization issued warnings, urging people to remain indoors. But lockdowns did nothing to stop the spread. In fact, the situation only worsened.
Hospitals overflowed with patients, but soon, it became clear—
It wasn't a virus. It did not affect everyone the same way. Some experienced lung failure, others suffered from bone diseases, digestive issues, heart complications, or even neurological disorders.
Those with pre-existing conditions died quickly.
The rest were left in a state of extreme exhaustion, their lives hanging by a thread.
The world did not understand what was happening.
Each day was worse than the last.

The Collapse of the Global Economy
This epidemic didn't just take lives; it crippled the global economy.
Millions dead, with the numbers rising every second.
A severe labor shortage, plummeting production, skyrocketing prices, and people left without any income.
Even industries that relied on artificial intelligence couldn't function properly, as human intervention was still necessary.
But the most alarming failures occurred in critical areas:
Prisons descended into chaos, with riots and mass escapes.
Nuclear reactors, which required constant supervision, became unstable, threatening catastrophic meltdowns.
The world was teetering on the edge of collapse.
For the first time in history, humanity faced the real possibility of extinction—not from monsters, but from something entirely familiar… disease.

Class Division and Social Unrest
Even in such dire times, humans were not equal in the face of death.
As healthcare systems crumbled, governments were forced to decide who deserved treatment and who would be left to die.
The wealthy and powerful received full medical care.
The poor and middle class were abandoned to fend for themselves.
This injustice ignited a deep resentment within societies.
A growing fury, waiting for the right moment to explode.
Now, survival was no longer just about health; it was about status.
If you were rich, you would receive treatment.
If you were poor, you were left to die.
Even in the face of catastrophe, human greed and corruption remained unchanged.

Searching for a Solution... at Any Cost
Unable to handle the crisis, the world's superpowers—America, Europe, China, and Russia—turned to sorcerers, shamans, and immortal trainees for help.
But what they didn't know was that some of these individuals had already been infected.
Yet instead of revealing this, they secretly killed their weaker members, ensuring that only the strongest remained in hiding.
Eventually, they made an announcement:
"We have a magical cure that can heal the infected… but at a price."
"We demand influence within your nations."
The superpowers immediately agreed, prioritizing the revival of their economies above all else.
But one question remained unanswered…
Was Egypt suffering from this disease like the rest of the world?
