EXIN was just an average boy.
He had lived in this world for 19 years.
Not smart.
Not particularly strong.
But he had one thing many lacked—an unbreakable will to move forward, no matter what.
---
The world had changed—brutally and endlessly.
For 19,000 years, it had suffered.
Humanity kept evolving, adapting... but at what cost?
Lives were lost.
Nature twisted.
Even the beasts adapted, growing more dangerous—more powerful.
As mankind advanced, the world transformed into something alien.
Technology soared, reaching heights once thought impossible.
Skyscrapers pierced the skies.
Mana returned to the world, flowing alongside machines and data.
The fusion of magic and technology pushed the planet into an era of wonders—and chaos.
But progress always comes at a price.
With that came war.
Disasters.
And something worse…
The alien invasion.
It began 5,000 years ago.
It took 2,000 years of bloodshed to push them back.
The war ended.
Or so they thought.
---
But was that really the end?
No.
That was only the beginning.
No one could imagine what was coming next.
---
Technology had grown terrifyingly advanced.
Instant travel.
Planetary manipulation.
Entire solar systems trembled as unknown forces moved through the void.
Then came mana—again.
With it came a new era of power.
Planets became dust.
Solar systems shattered.
Galaxies trembled.
The universe was no longer a place of wonder.
It had become a battlefield.
---
And in this vast, unstable world…
Where did EXIN see himself?
He was not a chosen one.
He was not a genius.
Just a boy with a sister, a mother, and a dead father—killed long ago by a beast.
He was nobody.
But even nobodies… can become something right.
