Humanity was lost. A war with invaders from another galaxy led to humans fleeing their solar system to live in Arks, spaceships capable of housing millions of people. After hundreds of years of constant fleeing and battles with their enemy, the last Ark had fallen. Manusya, the last survivor living inside a carrier ship that escaped the Ark was humanity's last and only hope. His ship had the capability to cultivate life on a suitable planet that would come to be humanity's new home. After a long search and hundreds of cryosleep, he finally found a suitable planet, albeit one that was a gamble because of the unknown energy that was detected from its solar system.

His role was as a steward for the new humans, their guide to a better tomorrow. His ship would reform the lands and introduce flora and fauna to this habitable planet, and Manusya would be awakened from his cryosleep when the new humans were ready for his guidance. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The unknown energy allowed mutations to appear in all life introduced to the planet. The unknown energy, called Aether by the new humans, allowed them to manipulate the environment and perform feats beyond that of the previous humans.

Manusya's slumber was cut short unexpectedly when a young boy from a nearby village found a cave near the mountain that hid Manusya's ship. He awoke to a community of people that were colonized and subjugated by a stronger invader. The ship was also in disrepair, and he could not fall back into cryosleep. With his original plans ruined, he must contend with a world not ready for his guidance, and must make a choice on whether or not he should interfere and step into the fray.

What to Expect:

-Technological Uplift

-Kingdom-Building

-Technological Gap

-A focus on culture, characters and society. The one part I dislike about kingdom-building stories is that it focuses too much on the Macro-level and does not dive into people's lives that were affected. I love when we see how people react to new technological development, how their lives improved, and so on.

-A mix of Sci-Fi Space Age Technology and MagiTech (Magic Technology)
