What happened.

.....

A man could be seen standing on top of a very tall mountain with a thoughtful expression on his face around the time when the strange phenomenon appeared on earth, on a planet so far away from earth that it was safe to say it was in a different universe, dimension, or plane.

"So it's finally started, huh?" He muttered softly as he spoke to no one in particular.

'I was starting to think the records about 'Spe' were false, or perhaps I was getting too excited,' the man who looked like he was in his late 60s said, dragging his gray beards seemingly in thought.

His appearance was evidence of how handsome he must have been when he was young, and apart from that, everything else about him appeared somewhat ordinary.

However, as it is well known, appearances can be deceiving, and this seemingly ordinary old man had the power to wipe out an entire low-ranked universe and that is if he was joking.

He had a lot of years under his belt, but not many people knew about him, and those who did were either powerful enough to deal with him or those that feared him.

The man suddenly looked up and waited as if expecting something, and a second later, what appeared to be a tear in the sky appeared, and two individuals emerged from it, and behind them, the tear was filled with an endless void before it finally closed.

The man spoke first before they could say anything.

"Did you also notice?" He stated.

Among the two people who appeared was a woman who responded to him by saying;

"Of course, we were aware of it. It is, after all, our home planet ", she said, with her male companion next to her saying;

"What number does our planet's Awakening get in the Primordial log?" He inquired.

"There were a total of 113 planets awakening this time, and ours was the 100th to awaken, and since it is the 2564th time that planets have awakened since the first recorded one in eons, our planet should be labeled in the primordial logs as 100th Awakened Planet #2564," the woman replied.

The man from the start spoke softly as they were about to continue taking;

"Do you understand what this means?" Before continuing his speech, the man said as he looked at them thoughtfully:

"According to the records, ever since the first planet awakened and evolved in eon, other planets began awakening after the first after some time, and this is the 2564 time a group of planets awakened again.

It is still unknown why this occurs and what caused the awakening. All we know is that whenever a planet awakens, it goes through a screening process and returns the planet to its primitive state, ensuring that all inhabitants of that planet have the same starting point.

Aside from that, the powerhouses in the other planets that awakened before, particularly the ones that awakened first, will begin sending their minions to spread their influence on the new planets to see if it can be brought under their control because they can't go because the Primordial Chronicle will stop them and if they try to force it, they will be punished.

Even the powerhouses of the first hundred awakened planets do not dare to meddle with the Primordial Chronicle; at best, they have a limited influence on it.

Our planet's inhabitants are about to face challenges they may not be prepared for.

"I just hope our planet can produce a prodigy to defend it before the real challenge arrives," the man sighed.

There was a brief pause after he said this before the only female among them spoke up again, saying;

"Because there is nothing we can do to help apart from the time when we are able to give our blessings to the inhabitant of our planet, which will only happen when the awakening process is above Stage 4, we can only observe and hope that someone worthy comes from our planet, and when it is time to face the real challenge, we'll be there to help."

Furthermore, it is expected that the younger generation will surpass the older generation, so I believe they will be fine.

After all, even if they don't know, they won't want to put their planet's primordial to shame, right?" The woman said this as she attempted to crack a joke to brighten the atmosphere, which she was successful in doing.

Following that, the woman's companion addressed the man and said;

"And don't we need to prepare so that when we can send our avatars to 'Spe,' to research what happened on our planets that caused us to vanish without triggering the awakening process, and why traces of the first awakened beings can be found there?" He said, to which the old man nodded and was about to respond when he suddenly stopped and cast a spell in a strange language, as if he was trying to avoid the eyes of something, before they all vanished, with the man not responding in the end.

From their conversation just now, it was clear that the awakening process of their planet had been delayed for some reason, and the planet itself was mysterious and held some deep secrets that piqued the interest of powerhouses recognized as absolute monsters.

The strange thing here was the three people right now.

According to the way they spoke, they may have been among the first humans to roam the planet 'Spe' when it was still in its infancy, but how were they able to leave?' and who were they attempting to avoid?

[??? POV],

After observing and seeing what happened to our surroundings, the girl asked me a question;

"What happened here?" the girl inquired, to which I replied;

"How do you expect me to know that?" I questioned back.

At this point, I was beginning to wonder if talking with this girl any longer would lower my IQ because we couldn't even communicate well in the first place.

'Perhaps she's the type they call slow-witted,' I thought as I began to walk in a different direction, startling her.

She asked me a question as she walked quickly in my direction.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere," I said.

"Where?" she inquired.

"Somewhere away from here to see if this is also happening elsewhere," I stated, finally explaining why I was heading in a different direction.

She remained silent after hearing this and quietly followed me as we walked forward.

Passing through the empty streets that looked both unfamiliar and familiar, I began to wonder where everyone else was because aside from the girl who was following me, I had not seen anyone else, not even a single transparent crystal with a being inside.

With these thoughts racing through my mind, the girl beside me said something that brought me to a halt.

"That water fountain in front," she said as she continued her speech, pointing to a somewhat familiar-looking fountain in front.

"How come it resembles the one we have at school?" She said this unsurely in the latter part of her speech.

After hearing what she said, I asked her a question as I had a suspicious thought;

"Which school do you attend?" I asked as I waited for a response.

"New Dawn, I go to New Dawn college," she replied, her head tilted to one side, possibly wondering what my question had to do with hers.

I was able to confirm my thought after hearing what she said.

Unexpectedly, the girl and I go to the same school, and for some reason, it appears that some locations on Spe have changed, as I've been passing some unfamiliar shops that looked out of place on my way here, and this fountain just confirmed my suspicions.

I was about to say something when something resembling a panel appeared in front of me.

[Species discovered on a newly awakened planet],

[Initiating Specie with the Primordial Chronicle],

[Specie Initiated],

[Updating Status....],

Seeing the strange panel in front of me made me think;

'What in the world is going on?'
