3 WELCOME TO THE NEW ERA Date: May 27, 2026 Time: 9:13 AM Location: Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria Inside Aso Rock Presidential Villa, the atmosphere had grown increasingly tense with every passing hour.
Large digital screens filled the emergency conference room, displaying live footage from across Nigeria.
Military officers, intelligence analysts, and government officials moved constantly between stations while incoming reports flooded the system faster than they could process them.
Lagos was burning.
Several northern states had lost communication entirely.
Unknown flying creatures continued descending through the fractured sky.
And worst of all— the Nigerian military was struggling to contain the situation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sat silently at the center of the room, listening as one report followed another.
“Sir, casualties are still increasing in Kano and Port Harcourt.” “We’ve lost contact with multiple military checkpoints.” “Several civilians have reportedly awakened supernatural abilities.” “Social media is collapsing under misinformation and panic.” The room grew heavier with every update.
For decades, governments around the world had prepared for war, terrorism, economic collapse, and political instability.
Nobody had prepared for this.
One of the large screens switched suddenly to shaky civilian footage recorded somewhere in Lagos.
A massive reptilian creature rampaged through a highway while armed soldiers fired desperately at its body.
Their bullets barely slowed it down.
Nearby civilians screamed while abandoning vehicles and running through smoke-filled streets.
Then the footage ended abruptly.
No one in the room spoke for several seconds.
Even the generals looked unsettled now.
Then— RING!!!
The sudden sound made several officials flinch.
The telephone on the president’s desk began ringing loudly.
Tinubu stared at it briefly before answering.
“…Hello?” A calm voice replied almost immediately.
“This is Donald Trump, President of the United States of America.” Several people in the room exchanged surprised looks.
Tinubu’s expression sharpened slightly.
“What can I do for you, Mr.
President?” “I’ll keep this short,” Trump said.
“An emergency international conference will begin at exactly ten o’clock through secure video communication.” Tinubu frowned.
“A conference about the current situation?” “Yes.” Trump paused briefly before continuing.
“Humanity needs answers.” The line disconnected soon afterward.
Silence lingered inside the meeting room.
One of the ministers spoke first.
“Can we trust this?” “We don’t really have a choice,” another official muttered.
Right now, information was more valuable than money, weapons, or political influence.
After several minutes of discussion, a decision was finally reached.
Nigeria would participate.
10:00 AM GLOBAL EMERGENCY CONFERENCE Massive holographic displays activated across the room.
One by one, world leaders appeared.
The President of China.
The Russian President.
European leaders.
Middle Eastern leaders.
African heads of state.
Asian representatives.
For the first time in modern history, humanity’s most powerful political figures gathered together under a shared sense of fear.
Not fear of war.
Fear of extinction.
Brief greetings were exchanged, though nobody truly cared about formalities anymore.
Then the main screen shifted.
Donald Trump appeared seated inside a heavily guarded room somewhere in the United States.
Unlike many others present, he looked unusually composed.
That alone unsettled several people.
“I’ll skip introductions,” he said directly.
His expression hardened.
“Humanity is no longer alone.” Silence filled the conference immediately.
Some leaders frowned.
Others looked openly irritated.
Trump continued before anyone could interrupt him.
“The monsters appearing across Earth are real.
The system is real.
The awakening phenomena are real.” His voice remained calm and controlled.
“Earth has entered dimensional integration.” The atmosphere shifted instantly.
Several world leaders exchanged uneasy looks.
One European representative finally spoke.
“You’re asking us to believe our planet is merging with… other worlds?” “I’m not asking you to believe anything,” Trump replied evenly.
“I’m telling you what’s already happening.” He pressed something on his desk.
A new screen appeared before every participant.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RANKING SYSTEM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EX UR SSSR SSS SS S A B C D E F G ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “This system appears incomplete,” Trump explained, “but according to available information, it’s universally recognized across multiple realms.” The room remained silent as everyone studied the rankings.
Then another screen appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ RANK STAGES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LOW MID HIGH PEAK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “Each rank contains four stages,” Trump continued.
Another display replaced it immediately afterward.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BEAST CLASSIFICATION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAOS CALAMITY ABYSSAL / SACRED KING / QUEEN LORD VARIANT MUTANT ORDINARY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “Monsters follow separate classifications in addition to rank.” Several officials visibly paled.
Then Trump delivered the next piece of information.
“Currently, Earth’s mana density remains extremely low.
Based on our findings, only D-Rank entities and below can naturally enter the planet right now.” The conference exploded with noise.
“Only D-Rank?!” “You mean stronger creatures are still coming?” “This is insanity!” Trump allowed the reactions to continue briefly before speaking again.
“As Earth adapts and mana density rises, stronger entities will eventually gain access.” He paused.
“C-Rank.
B-Rank.
And potentially much higher.” That silenced the room again.
For the first time, many world leaders truly understood the scale of the disaster.
This was not an invasion.
It was an entirely new era of existence.
Fortunately, Trump added something else moments later.
“The current restrictions apply primarily to external entities.” Tinubu narrowed his eyes.
“What exactly does that mean?” Trump leaned back slightly.
“It means Earth’s native inhabitants can evolve beyond those limitations.” The room focused immediately.
“Most humans received ordinary system awakenings,” Trump continued.
“But a very small percentage experienced abnormal evolutions.” Several intelligence officers around the world immediately began taking notes.
“Their biological structures changed.
Their racial identities changed.
In some cases, even their names and affinities were rewritten entirely.” That statement unsettled nearly everyone present.
Different races.
Different evolutionary limits.
Different futures.
The implications were enormous.
The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, finally spoke.
“And how are we supposed to identify these individuals?” A faint smile appeared on Trump’s face.
“You’ll know them when you see them.” Then his expression turned colder.
“Find them first.” The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Not everyone liked the meaning behind those words.
Because if even part of this information was true, some awakened individuals might eventually become more powerful than entire national armies.
And governments around the world had already realized the same terrifying truth: the balance of power was changing.
Then Trump spoke again.
“Now we arrive at the real reason for this conference.” The room quieted immediately.
“Humanity will eventually need a unified global authority.” Several leaders reacted instantly.
“That’s unacceptable.” “You can’t decide that unilaterally.” “We reject that proposal.” But Trump simply watched them calmly.
“I wasn’t asking for permission.” Silence followed.
Then suddenly— Xi Jinping slowly stood from his seat.
His expression had changed completely.
“…What is that?” Confusion spread briefly through the conference.
Then several leaders noticed it too.
Outside their windows— something enormous had appeared in the sky.
Every person instinctively looked upward.
And froze.
A gigantic screen hovered above Earth itself.
Despite its impossible distance, every human on the planet could see it clearly, as though reality itself forced their eyes toward it.
The screen flickered once.
Then words appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [GLOBAL NOTICE] THE TOP THIRTY NEW-GENERATION EVOLVED INDIVIDUALS SHALL RECEIVE SPECIAL REWARDS.
INFORMATION UPDATE: 10 DAYS REMAINING DATE OF UPDATE: JUNE 6, 2026 — 10:00 AM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Panic erupted worldwide almost instantly.
Inside a church in Lagos, worshippers fell to their knees in prayer.
In Tokyo, millions stared upward in silence from crowded intersections.
A family trapped inside a traffic jam in New York watched the sky through trembling car windows.
Across villages, cities, refugee camps, military bases, and collapsing highways— humanity looked upward together.
The system screen changed again.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [NEW-GENERATION EVOLVED] TOTAL NUMBER: 200 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ No one inside the conference room spoke.
Then another message appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ALL NEW-GENERATION EVOLVED INDIVIDUALS ARE THE FIRST OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RACES.
NO DUPLICATE RACES EXIST.
THEY ARE NOT PROGENITORS.
HOWEVER, THEY POSSESS THE ABILITY TO CREATE NEW MEMBERS OF THEIR RACE.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The room felt colder after reading those words.
Then examples appeared across the heavens.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [EXAMPLES] PRIMORDIAL DRAGON PRIMORDIAL PHOENIX PRIMORDIAL TITAN PRIMORDIAL GOD PRIMORDIAL WEREWOLF PRIMORDIAL VAMPIRE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Several world leaders stared in disbelief.
Humanity had officially crossed beyond science.
Beyond religion.
Beyond modern civilization itself.
This was mythology made real.
Then another line appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [CURRENT TOP TEN DETECTED] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The names remained hidden.
But one detail still appeared.
FOUR INDIVIDUALS ORIGINATE FROM AFRICA.
Inside the Nigerian conference room, multiple officials exchanged shocked looks immediately.
And somewhere far away in Adamawa State— AETERNUS ASGORATH MORNINGSTAR unknowingly stood among the highest-ranked beings on Earth.
Donald Trump slowly looked across the stunned conference.
Then he spoke quietly.
“Welcome…” His voice echoed through the silence.
“…to the new era.” The connection terminated moments later.
For several seconds after the call ended, nobody inside Aso Rock spoke.
Outside the presidential villa, terrified civilians continued staring at the massive system screen overhead.
Some people prayed openly.
Others cried.
Many simply stood frozen, unable to process how completely reality had changed within a single day.
President Tinubu leaned back slowly in his chair.
“Two hundred…” One of the generals swallowed nervously.
“Sir… if even one of these evolved individuals becomes hostile…” He never finished the sentence.
He didn’t need to.
Everyone understood.
A single sufficiently powerful evolved could someday become more destructive than entire armies.
The old world order was beginning to collapse.
Money.
Politics.
Military dominance.
None of them guaranteed superiority anymore.
Power had become personal.
Then one of the intelligence officers spoke carefully.
“Sir… we may already have reports regarding one of them.” The room focused immediately.
Satellite images appeared across the screen.
Frozen streets.
Destroyed buildings.
Massive wing-shaped shock patterns carved through entire sections of the city.
And at the center— a colossal dragon silhouette partially hidden beneath clouds.
The room fell silent again.
Tinubu slowly stood.
“…Where?” “Adamawa State, sir.” Several officials visibly paled.
Even through satellite imagery alone, the creature’s presence felt oppressive.
The officer hesitated before continuing.
“Based on eyewitness accounts, the dragon appeared shortly after the system activation.” Another screen appeared beside it.
Temperature readings.
The numbers looked impossible.
Entire districts had fallen below freezing within minutes.
One scientist whispered unconsciously, “That shouldn’t be possible…” Then a final report appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED THREAT LEVEL: UNMEASURABLE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Tinubu stared at the dragon silhouette for several long seconds.
Then he spoke quietly.
“Find it.” The room tensed immediately.
“Sir?” “I want every piece of information available.” His gaze never left the screen.
“Because if that creature is one of the evolved…” His voice lowered slightly.
“…Nigeria cannot afford to lose it to another nation.” Far above Earth, the gigantic system display flickered once more.
Then new words spread across the heavens.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [NOTICE] THE ERA OF MORTALS HAS ENDED.
THE ERA OF EVOLUTION HAS BEGUN.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The message vanished shortly afterward.
But humanity would never forget those words.
Date: May 27, 2026 Time: 10:24 AM Location: Adamawa State, Nigeria High above the burning cities, a crimson dragon flew beneath the fractured sky.
Eight massive wings cut through the clouds while blue frost flames drifted between gleaming scales.
Below him, smoke rose from shattered roads and collapsing districts.
But AETERNUS barely noticed any of it now.
His mind remained fixed on only one thing.
His family.
Somewhere beyond the destruction— they were still waiting for him to come home.
