The Absolute Humanity’s Second Chance

r monsters, barely count as a small pack in this world.

It was fear inducing.

Hope extinguishing.

Purely, dreadful.

Thankfully, at that moment, when they were still unaware of that, things were slightly better. And though a lot had died, and a lot more lost their loved ones.

It was not the end.

Those that survived, were more than happy they went through a calamity like that. Humanity was just like that.

At the end of the day, it was you over everyone right? You can mourn for those that died, but deep down, aren you happy you survived?

Fortunately, there were still billions of humans at the end of the day, so they fought back… somehow.

The first step being realization.

They realized that everything was not a dream, or some sort of twisted joke. They ended up having no choice but to rely on one another.

And that was the second step, trust and reliance on one another. But that was just the beginning.

Days went by, and more attacks just like that one arrived. The world was not, human friendly. That was obvious enough.

And of course, with the humans accepting their situation and coming to terms with their new environment, they also fought back.

They reverted back to the stone age, and made weapons out of nature. Not only weapons, but even clothes and houses.

Let alone weapons and natural traps.

They were quite the intelligent race, especially so, if they could create nanotechnology and matter-reliant weapons, capable of destroying their entire Solar System.

Using their environment to their advantage, and outsmarted some wold animals was an easy feat. Yes, adapting was hard. More so, when they were at Era of robots and procrastination.

So yes, it took quite the while to get used to everything. Some not even changing clothes after weeks due to denial, but they ultimately succumbed.

Most women made sure the men were well fed. The well fed men made sure the settlement was built, and the battles were fought.

While some women managed the building of the settlement, or management of the entire structure of their race. Both genders acquired neutrality.

Finding worth in the opposite gender, and respecting said worth. They both individually knew what to do. And women were not stopped from joining the army or the builders.

Men were also accepted as managers and directors. They focused on what you, yourself could do. Instead of what you are expected to do.

Thus from days, it went to weeks, and from weeks to months, from months to a year. And from a year, to years. From years to decades. Time became a stable reminder of how far the humans have progressed.

Everything was stable, and the humans who only lost a billion or so lives during that period, were now capable of fending for themselves against the sorounding beasts.

And most that died were the old and sick ones, who could not survive the new, and extremely severe environment they were thrown in.

But thanks to the years of hardwork, humanity reattained their gift of strength, agility, flexibility and the other traits their late ape ancestors had back in their world.

They could better survive, and even fend for themselves even against terrifying numbers of thousands of wolf-like beasts with similarly numbered warriors on their side.

The status between both sides lasted for thirty years, where the humans lost and gained more. They now had two generations, the second being the strongest and most adept to the world.

And because of them, they even ended up slaughtering the entire pack of wolf-like beasts, and avenged their lost souls. It was truly a year worth celebrating.

It had to be mentioned, the pack was over ten times larger than it initially was. Thirty years were a lot of years after all. So, it was genuinely a day worth celebrating.

And not only because of that, but because on this very same day, a shooting star fell into the world. It was far from the human stronghold, but was still within the same region.

It was marked the Day of Eve. Signifying the new beginning of the entire human race.

Strangely though, the star fall did not cause that much damage to the world, which surprised the still intellectual humans who knew how powerful a star was.

But that was not important.

What was important was that, at that day, the very powerful and unknown entity that drove the world to its most prime state had appeared.
