The Absolute Humanity’s Second Chance

”… ”

A young man sat within his room and stared expressionlessly at the wall. He seemed dead. Internally. His gaze implying that he was lost deep into his thoughts.

But maybe it made sense. His room had nothing to begin with, so him staring at the wall, was not that strange. The room only had a small futon to lay on, and nothing else.

It was just empty. Like a broken persons heart.

But that, was not important.

Nor was it the focus at the moment.

”…Haah~ ” The young man sighed to himself. It was sudden, all out of the blue. Enough to shatter the peace, of the night.

His face finally illustrated a trace of emotion. It being a mixture of shock, and slight happiness. If you will.

Yet laced with a bit of bitterness within.

Damien was from the future.

He was one of the third generational humans, of the now new, and still being explored, world of mysteries and wonders.

From as far as he remembered, fifty years ago from now, humanity suddenly found themselves stranded within a world they knew completely nothing off.

Like finding oneself within a dream you can not relate to. The environment. The feeling. The people. Everything being, just surreal.

And, It was a terrible experience, believe that.

From washing the dishes, to finding yourself stranded in the wild out of nowhere. Or from preparing for your death, after reaching a certain age in life, only to appear within a new world.

Such things occurred worldwide.

A population of almost ten billion humans, regardless of age, or status, appeared within this foreign environment, stranded within the wild.

A world that they came to term, Gaea.

It was name was chosen years later, when everyone realized the similarities this world bore to the Earth they knew.

Yet had a tinge of mythical, and supernatural atteibutes at its base.

Thus why it was termed after the Titanic Greek Goddess of Earth, and the Mother of All Life, Gaea. Hence, where the name was derived.

That aside, as it was likewise not important as well. And onto much important information.

Damien continued to dig deeper into the history of humanity, into this new world. And not about myths he read about, within the records of the settlement.

Okay, back to track. He focused.

The humans of that time, gathered up together to create something similar to an settlement, or a colony of sorts. A congregation of humans.

But with the fear spread everywhere, and the reluctance to accept their new home. It took time for everyone to finally calm down and settle.

After all, the wealthy were no longer wealthy here. What did they have now, that warranted them any right to command others?

Those in power, had none here. What gave them power over everyone, when the rules they set back at their home planet, meant jack sh*t here.

The soldiers, the police or local gang members had none of their weaponry here. What threat were they now?

Everyone was the same. At the same starting point. Thus, it was a chaotic atmosphere everyone.

Of course, a few who kept knifes to themselves had them on their being. They were considered lucky. Or truthfully, unlucky.

Them, and those with other casual weaponry for self defense. They were armed, yes. But it still helped no one at all. Including them.

And instead, those light weaponry were the very reason some even died during that stage of denial and grief.

Many old, and many young lost their lives.

As if that was all, and as if to mock them, a tide of strange beasts had attacked them. Especially when they were a their most vulnerable stage.

They were in the middle of nowhere. In the wild. Late at night. What else did they expect, really? Santa? Unfortunately, they never saw him. Nor any gifts of sorts.

Instead, the group of a thousand or so wolf-like beasts were their beginner gift pack. And took the lives of at most a similar number of thousands of people that very night.

Thousands, not just one thousand, but thousands of lives. It could be said to almost exceed ten thousand deaths in fact.

And they, the prideful hunters at the top of the chain back on Earth, could only retreat in self defense.

There were no automatic assault riffles.

There were no atomic bombs.

Or any other weapon they were proud off.

Worst of all, years after stabilizing their foothold, humans got to learn that a thousand beasts o
