Mercenaries In Apocalypse.

Everyone had questions, but since they were tired they wanted to be treated first. So everyone moved to their respective capsules and lied on them. Percy watched this and gestured James to lie too. As everyone lied he entered some string of commands and lied inside his capsule too.

Swoosh.

The doors of the capsule closed and everyone had their mouth attached to a tube. The capsule started to fill with a liquid. But everyone was pretty much unconscious so no one bothered. They might have thought of the time-span being as long as few days but they didn't knew it would be as long as a year and a half.

-------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a year since the Sinners have started undergoing the process. On the island everything was calm, when all of a sudden the earth started trembling as if a earthquake was happening and suddenly huge metallic walls erupted from the ground surrounding the area around the mansion. The walls were 100 meter tall and were wide enough for people to walk. The wall had multiple turrets situated on the top. It had a metallic sheen to it and it seemed that the whole wall had internet of different tubes connected and powered by an unknown source.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in the world, crazy things were happening. Experts from various fields in the world were disappearing. Some countries applied marshal law for no reason, while bigger countries were doing something secretly. There was an atmosphere of chaos in the world. People thought this as a precursor to the start of a world war. Rumors started spreading on the internet, people were afraid. many multi-national industries started to fall in a night. As such things were happening all over the world, suddenly a news agency in a distant country reported of a spread of an unknown infection in that country. The infection was strange and totally not unknown by the Human-race. This was what the fictional people would say Zombie virus. Well technically it wasn't a zombie virus, it was more of an evolution kind of thing.

Once this virus spread it took merely one week for it to spread to the whole world. Countries were devastated, people were dying. The Human-race was instantly reduced to a mere 10 percent of the whole. While all these things were happening, rumors of people fighting the so called "Terra-formed Creatures" and "Zombies" started spreading. It was said that there were people with exceptional fighting strength and supernatural powers fighting. It was also rumored that the world government had established various safe cities with towering walls and protection to prevent Human race from extinction and were also accepting survivors.

The majority of people started to flocked towards the direction of these rumors for safety. The World was changing so were its people. The virus had totally transformed the world. It had now become a place full of danger and opportunities, but the chain of command was totally demolished. Scientists and researchers came to the conclusion that this virus brought a qualitative change to the Gene structure of living beings. It awakened the dormant genes in the body leading to a large amount of information flow to the brain, which in turn damaged the brain. What it really did was brought the living beings their inheritance, from their predecessors. The knowledge, the powers which we were supposed to inherit from them. The mythological age of the world which was supposed to be a myth was now real. People who could withstand the genetic mutation became the one with the predecessors power. The one who couldn't withstand them were turned into mindless freaks a.k.a zombies with powers which they couldn't control. The animals and wild beasts were the one who benefited the most. As the ones with powerful bloodline transformed as a whole. The legends about Dragons, Phoenix and other mythological creatures and Divine Beasts became true. Humanity were once again forced at the bottom of the food-chain. They had instantly turned from the top predators to the bottom preys. But Nature has always been fair, balance must always be maintained that has always been the Natural law.

As there came Humans who had successfully evolved and started controlling their powers. Although such kind of people were rare, they still existed and fought for the human race. Humans started to win. As Intelligence has always been on of the most special characteristic of the Human race, it showed its own powers. After 4 months of the "Reboot", the term researchers came with for this phenomena, scientists found a unique source of energy they termed as "Flux" which was abundant in the atmosphere and could be easily harnessed. Within months specialized weapons made of Flux were built and circulated throughout the world. Humans started wining up to some extent. They captured territories and started expanding again. Even if they could not win against some powerful creatures they could at least protect themselves. Military might was once again established. Now the common man could also fight these monsters. Cities were cleansed of the infested human variants and civilization could start functioning once again.

The world was banded together once again, barriers were erected to prevent civilization from harm. technology advanced rapidly and it could be said that the Human race could now develop. But still various questions like Why did this virus appear ? And from Where ? What was this abundant energy ? How was it not decreasing ? And many questions pertaining the lost mythological age were being dug out. History was being dug from the books. Bible, Quran, Vedas and many such ancient records were now stored as a form of information. Humanity has always been curious but that only pertained to the one who were interested. Normal people would always love to go do their jobs and live a peaceful life. But this peace had always been a facade. The world was now more dark than it had been previously as there was more to fight for. Their were many fights going on in the darkness. Commoners being treated as slaves and toys by powerful people became common. Still for their own safety people turned blind eye to this as nothing could be done. Human race had once again after 6 months of the "Reboot" shown its real nature.
