[Initiating Earth's Mutation...]

[3%]...
The world froze.
For a moment, everything—cars, conversations, cat videos—stopped.
People stared at the strange glowing bar floating in front of them like it had just photobombed reality.
"Huh? Is this... a hologram?"
"Did I drink too much last night?"
"What the hell—hey! You seeing this?"
"How would I not? It's floating right in front of my face!"
All around the globe, the same scene unfolded. Confusion. Panic. Memes.
And then—chaos.
> [49%]
[50%]
BOOM! BOOM! SHAKE-A-LAKA!
The moment the bar hit 50%, Earth started trembling like it just realized rent was due.
Skyscrapers wobbled, streets cracked, and in seconds, chaos swallowed entire cities. The death toll? Over a million gone—just like that. The worst part? Nobody even understood why.
> [74%]
[75%]
As if the earthquakes weren't enough, the next surprise hit—no air.
People started gasping, wheezing, clawing at their throats like invisible hands were choking them. Some fainted. Some prayed. Some just screamed.
Then, suddenly...
> [98%]
[99%]
[100%]
Silence.
The ground stopped shaking. The air returned—cleaner than ever. So clean, it made you wonder what kind of industrial-grade Febreze just got deployed.
Everyone just stood there, blinking.
Until—ding.
> [Mutation Successful!]
[Earth has successfully mutated!]
[Earth is now eligible to enter 'Enopio Cosmos']
[Starting Transportation...]
[Locating nearest junction...]
[Nearest Junction Found!]
[Adjusting Earth's trajectory to "Gaia BH1"]
[Current speed: 312x the speed of light]
[Estimated arrival: 5 years]
"Wait, hold on. 312 times the speed of light?? That's gotta be a bug."
"Then why is the sun still out?!"
"Bro, this has to be a dream."
Spoiler alert: it wasn't.
> [Transportation initialized...]
[Activating Cosmos System...]
[System binding successful...]
[Basic equipment granted]
[Say or think 'Status' to access your window]
Then, a new wave of messages appeared—with a more serious tone.

> [ATTENTION ALL EARTH INHABITANTS]
[Earth has officially mutated and is en route to the Enopio Cosmos.]
[Earth's atmosphere is now artificially regulated for inhabitant survival.]
[New environmental protocols are in effect.]
> [Earth has entered the Planetary Conditioning Phase.]
[Planetary Conditioning = Controlled adaptation through interplanetary exposure.]
[Wormholes will connect Earth to abandoned mutated worlds. These worlds will begin minor invasions to help inhabitants awaken, adapt, and grow stronger.]
> [WORMHOLES — DEFINITION:]
Created by either Earth or external planets.
Each wormhole has a level and can transport only certain amounts of matter or creatures.
Once charged with sufficient energy, a wormhole opens, allowing invaders through.
Wormholes can be destroyed or closed once all invaders are eliminated.
> [Wormhole Levels:]
F - Red 🔴
E - Orange 🟠
D - Yellow 🟡
C - Green 🟢
B - Blue 🔵
A - Indigo 🟣
S - Violet 🟪
> [Planetary Conditioning has officially begun.]

Just as this cheerful news finished displaying, circular rings—wormholes—started appearing all around the world. Floating just a few feet off the ground, they glowed menacingly. Most were red. Some orange. A few yellow.
Then came the real welcome party.
Cracks split open the wormhole rings, and from within came monsters.
Not dragons or zombies—oh no. These were like animals but wrong. Bigger. Meaner. Evolved in a blender with nightmare fuel.
Giant rabbits with fangs. Dog-things the size of bears. Multi-eyed horrors that definitely weren't certified by the Animal Kingdom.
And the moment they stepped through?
They attacked.
No snarling or threatening growls—just violence. Merciless, instant violence. The world barely had time to scream.

Amazon Rainforest – Near the Negro River
Far away from the collapsing cities and monster invasions, nestled deep in green wilderness, sat a quiet little hut.
Inside it, a young man lay unconscious on a rickety bed.
His name was Evan.
And whether he liked it or not...
The story of this world was about to begin with him.
