Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy | Setting: Earth, Year 3030 | Location: New Bharat City, India
Prologue: The Fall of Earth
It began with the sky tearing apart.
A strange hum filled the air one morning, and then—portals. Gigantic, glowing rifts appeared all over the Earth. From them, Rakshas, demonic monsters from another world, descended.
Humanity wasn't ready.
The first day turned into a massacre. Cities collapsed. Nations fell. Blood ran through the streets.
People cried out—not to governments, but to God. Begging. Screaming. Praying.
And perhaps... the divine heard them.
A miracle happened. Some humans began awakening powers—unexplainable abilities tied to elements, shadows, minds, and more. These people fought back against the monsters.
But it was too late.
By the time humanity stabilized... 99% of the global population was gone.

1,000 Years Later — The Year 3030
The world is unrecognizable.
Earth is still plagued by monsters. But humans now live in technologically advanced megacities, surrounded by colossal walls that protect them from the outside horrors.
One such city is New Bharat, the pride of India—built on ashes, guarded by tech, and ruled by power.
The protectors of this world are no longer soldiers—they are called Superhumans, also known as Hunters. Each one awakens with a power that categorizes them into Ranks:
> Ranking System:
1. SSR – Mythic Level
2. SSS – Legendary
3. SS – High Elite
4. S – Elite
5. A – Advanced
6. B – Skilled
7. C – Basic
8. D – Weak
9. E – Lowest
Those who awaken at E-Rank are nearly useless in combat. Everyone dreams of reaching SSR—the peak. But only a handful ever do.
Superhumans are further classified based on their abilities:
> Power Types:
Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Light, Darkness, Illusion, Summoner, Assassin, Mage, Beast Transformation, Monster Tamer, Shadow, Psychic, Telekinetic, Healer, Aura (sword mana), Appraisal.

Scene 1: The Man Who Never Awakened
Location: Sector 7, SkyDome Tower, New Bharat City
Inside a luxurious room, a man lounges on a recliner, sipping chai.
His name is Lavesh Sharma, age 26. The TV in front of him blares a news broadcast.
> News Anchor (on TV):
"Increased portal activity near Zone-17. Monster attacks have surged over the last five years... but there's no cause for concern. The city's military force is always ready. General Rudra, an A-Rank Superhuman, is personally leading defense operations."
Lavesh sighs, lowering the volume.
Lavesh (muttering):
"A-Rank? Tch... I wanted to be one of them."
He stares into his tea for a second, then places the cup down.
Lavesh (to himself):
"Never awakened. Never mattered. Just a trader now..."
Despite his regrets, Lavesh isn't just some nobody. He's a billionaire—a self-made financial wizard who turned his family's assets into an empire.
---
Background: The Sharma Family
The Sharmas are one of the wealthiest families in New Bharat, living in a heavily fortified mansion in the city's most secure zone.
Every member of Lavesh's family is an awakened superhuman—except him.
Eldest Brother: Owns a massive weapon manufacturing firm.
Second Brother: Runs a medical tech empire—especially healing potions and injectors for hunters.
Elder Sister: Founder of a chain of elite restaurants.
Youngest Brother: A professor at the Hunter Academy.
And Lavesh? He is a trader—the man who took his family's money and multiplied it 200 times.
> Family Net Worth: ₹18 Billion
Lavesh's Personal Wealth: ₹1.2 Billion
Even without powers, he made them the richest family in the city within just five years.

Scene 2: Old Wounds
Lavesh scrolls through his tablet. A memory flashes on screen—a group photo from his school days. Half the people in the photo are now hunters, military officers, or dead.
Lavesh (quietly):
"They all awakened. Even the ones who were weaker than me... even Rishi..."
Scene 3
Location: SkyDome Tower, New Bharat City
Time: 8:00 AM
Lavesh adjusted the collar of his sleek black jacket and picked up his suitcase.
Today wasn't about regrets or military broadcasts—it was business. He had a high-level investor meeting in Mumbai City, involving a joint venture with one of India's top defense-tech firms.
His private airship was already waiting on the rooftop helipad. Smooth. Silent. Armored.
> Lavesh (checking watch):
"Let's get this over with."
The ship took off, gliding above the heavily fortified city, passing over the outer districts, then beyond the walls. Outside the protective zones, things were never fully safe—but attacks this close to air routes were rare.
---
30 Minutes Later – Mid-Air Over Sector 31
The ship vibrated suddenly.
The pilot's voice crackled through the comms.
> Pilot:
"Sir, we've got movement on the radar—multiple entities closing in... airborne."
> Lavesh (tense):
"Airborne monsters?! This close?!"
Before he could finish, a shadow burst through the clouds.
Screeching. Clawed. Flying.
A Wyvern-class demon, followed by two more.
The ship's defense systems activated—firing plasma shots—but it wasn't enough. One monster slammed into the engine.
BOOM!
Alarms screamed. The ship began spiraling downward.
Lavesh braced for impact as the sky turned to fire.
---
Crash Site – Unknown Location
Smoke.
Wreckage.
Silence.
Then... coughing.
Lavesh pulled himself from the ruins, blood on his face, pain shooting through his right leg.
> Lavesh (groaning):
"I should've taken the damn train..."
He limped through the trees, vision blurry, until he saw something in the distance—a jagged rock formation that looked like an entrance.
A cave.
With no other choice, he dragged himself inside.
---
Inside the Cave – Mana Crystal Mine
As he entered, the air changed.
The walls sparkled with glowing mana crystals, each one humming softly with energy. It was a natural mana mine, possibly untouched for decades.
> Lavesh (whispering):
"...What is this place?"
He slumped against a wall, breathing heavily, his leg bleeding.
Suddenly, a high-pitched shriek echoed through the cave—a monster's cry. Close. Too close.
His heart pounded.
Then—
BEEP.
A glowing blue window appeared in front of his eyes, floating midair.
> [SYSTEM INITIALIZED]
Would you like to become a Player?
[ACCEPT] [DECLINE]
Lavesh stared, frozen.
> Lavesh (breathless):
"What the hell...? Is this... real?"
"Screw it. Accept!"
He slammed his hand into the window.
The moment he accepted, the system glowed again.

> Lavesh (confused and injured):
"What kind of cursed gym subscription is this? I'm bleeding here!"
He limped deeper into the cave, trying to stay hidden.
> Lavesh (desperate):
"Hey, System! What about beginner rewards?!"
The system responded instantly.
> [Beginner Pack Unlocked]
• Healing Potion (HP +100)
• Normal Grade Sword
• Dungeon Key [Rank E] – Unknown Location
A small light pulse blinked next to him—and three items materialized in the air.
Lavesh grabbed the healing potion first and chugged it.
Warm energy surged through him. His leg wound sealed partially. His breathing steadied.
Then he took the sword—lightweight, sharp. Nothing fancy, but better than bare hands.
Finally, he pocketed the strange dungeon key. It pulsed faintly.
> Lavesh (still shaking):
"This... This isn't just survival anymore. This is something else."
The system chimed again.
> [Status Window – Player Info]
A panel appeared before him.

Lavesh stared at the screen, stunned.
> Lavesh:
"What the hell is this... a game system? Real life stats?"
Then came a thought—dangerous, exciting.
> Lavesh (slow smile):
"So what if I never awakened?"
"Maybe I don't need to anymore."
