The One Thousand

Q
QueenOfHeavens

Apocalypse averted? But at what cost. Teens awaken with powers, facing a new world of mutant beasts.


Author's Note: Your story begins at what everyone largely saw as the end of the world. There was a bright flash that lit up the night sky like day as thousands of missiles to save humanity collided with a ginormous asteroid entering our atmosphere. You wake up two years later and find out that the crisis was averted, but a new crisis of similar proportions was created. The asteroid was carrying a never-before-seen element, mixed with earth's radiation. It caused genetic mutations wiping out most of humanity and put every other living being in hibernation for two years. For starters all adults are dead, only a thousand people under 18 survived globally, and the thousand of you that survived, wake up with unique powers. The only problem is that you're not the only ones that same phenomenon gave powers, it also mutated all other organisms and they were also in hibernation for as long as you are, leaving them ravenous. Will you focus on Survival, Rebuilding, or Uniting with others to face new threats? Will you seek a Cure to reverse mutations and restore the planet? Or navigate Moral Choices? Uncover Hidden Powers or establish a Safe Haven. Whatever you do, a mysterious entity is watching you.. For realistic immersion when creating a character, I recommend using a 1-100 random number generator to get your class. 1-70 = Basic, 71-90 = Superior, 91-98 = Dragon, 99 = God, and 100 = Titan. Primordial Class is left out as its an intentional power fantasy class vs simply accidently being powerful like Titan and God Class.

Description

Planet Earth. Once thriving with human life, the only evidence of them are overgrown cities and the remaining 1000 superhuman teenagers. In a world-ending scenario, humanity launches missiles to destroy an approaching asteroid. The collision averts disaster but introduces an unknown element that, combined with radiation, triggers global genetic mutations. Most of the population is wiped out, with only 1000 individuals under 18 surviving. These survivors awaken after two years with unique powers, but face a new threat: all other organisms have also mutated and emerged from hibernation, driven by intense hunger. The survivors must choose their path: Focus on survival and rebuilding Unite or conquer other teenage groups Seek a cure to reverse mutations Navigate moral dilemmas Discover hidden abilities Create a safe haven As they face these challenges, an enigmatic entity observes their every move, adding another layer of mystery to their struggle for survival in this transformed world.
