The screen in front of me showed as the reconstruction process continued. I watched with fascination and a hint of unease as the numbers on the screen steadily increased.

A surge of memories flooded my mind, disjointed fragments of my life. My parents smiling faces emerged, then scenes from their death and burial, emotions intertwined, and a sense of urgency pulsed within me. There was a purpose to this resurrection, a mission waiting to be fulfilled.

The Genesis System, an enigma wrapped in mystery, held the answers I sought. It had granted me a second chance at life, merging me with the power of the Storm Dragon fragment, from where it came from, I still had no idea. But what did it all mean? What was my role in this intricate tapestry of destiny?

The memories of Gray's attack resurfaced, igniting a fire of determination within my chest. Revenge and truth intertwined, propelling me forward on this perilous path. Gray's actions had shattered my world, and now I would rebuild it, piece by broken piece.

[History of the G.E.N.E.S.I.S system.]

[In the realm of ancient legends, where dragons soared through the skies dominating the realm of Elysium and enslaving it's inhabitants, the celestial beings in Terramora (the Land of the Divine) convened to form a council called the Celestial Pantheon to address the growing threat. They witnessed the devastation caused by the formidable beasts and understood that mere mortals alone could not overcome these mighty adversaries.

Among the council's members was a being of immense wisdom and power known as Aetherion, the Celestial Artisan. Aetherion possessed a profound understanding of cosmic energies and the delicate balance of the universe. With great purpose and resolve, Aetherion embarked on a monumental task: to create a system capable of combating the dragons and restoring harmony to the realms.

Drawing upon the essence of celestial constellations, harnessing the raw energy of the cosmos and the emotions and characteristics of the inhabitants of Elysium, Aetherion forged the Genesis System. This remarkable creation transcended the boundaries of mortal comprehension, its origins rooted in the very fabric of creation itself. It was an intricate network of interstellar technology, imbued with celestial might and imbued with the essence of cosmic order.]

[The Genesis System was not alone in this cosmic endeavor. Aetherion crafted several companion systems, each designed to counter the specific abilities and weaknesses of the dragons. The systems embodied the elements of nature, magic, technology and the soul representing the primal forces that governed the world.

These companion systems where split into two categories; the Elemental systems and the Mythos systems.

The elemental systems are:

The Ignis Vortex System, a blazing inferno capable of harnessing the power of fire. It could unleash scorching flames that engulfed dragons and turned their own fiery breath against them.

The Aqua Nova System embodied the might of water, wielding torrents and tidal forces to quell the dragons' fury. It could summon great deluges and manipulate the very currents of the oceans to drown their scaly foes.

The Terra Gaia System drew upon the strength of the earth, conjuring tremors and quakes to shatter the dragons' defenses. It could mold the very terrain, raising mountains and creating chasms to trap and subdue its adversaries.

The Aero Zephyr System harnessed the power of the wind, utilizing gusts and gales to confound and disrupt the dragons' flight. It could summon cyclones and tornadoes, tearing through the skies with unmatched force.

The Mythos sytems are:

Beast System: The Beast System bestows individuals with the ability to communicate with and harness the primal power of beasts. Users of this system form a deep bond with various creatures, gaining their traits, strengths, and abilities. They can shapeshift into formidable animal forms, possess enhanced senses, and command the loyalty of creatures in their vicinity. The Beast System allows users to tap into the raw, untamed energy of nature, unleashing devastating attacks and exhibiting extraordinary physical prowess.

Aurora System: The Aurora System, also known as the Healer's Embrace, grants individuals the ability to harness the soothing and revitalizing energies of the ethereal auroras. Users of this system are skilled healers, possessing the power to mend wounds, restore vitality, and promote overall well-being. In addition to physical healing, the Aurora System offers emotional and spiritual restoration. Healers can envelop individuals in shimmering aurora veils that provide comfort, tranquility, and emotional release. The auroras' gentle radiance carries transformative properties, helping individuals overcome trauma, alleviate stress, and find inner peace.

Craft System: The Craft System empowers individuals with extraordinary skills in crafting and manipulating physical and metaphysical materials. Users of this system possess unrivaled expertise in various crafts such as blacksmithing, alchemy, enchanting, and artistry. They can create powerful artifacts, forge unbreakable weapons, brew potent elixirs, and imbue objects with magical properties. The Craft System enables users to manipulate and reshape materials with precision and unlock the hidden potential within them.

Magi System: The Magi System enables individuals to tap into the arcane forces of magic. Users of this system study ancient spells, rituals, and incantations to manipulate the fundamental energies of the universe. They can command the elements, cast powerful spells, summon mystical creatures, and manipulate reality itself. The Magi System encompasses various magical disciplines such as elemental magic, divination, necromancy, and illusion, allowing users to specialize in different branches of arcane arts and become formidable wielders of magic.

Fate system: The Fate System is a mystical ability that grants individuals the power to manipulate destiny, view the destiny of others and things and influence the outcomes of events. Users of the Fate System possess heightened intuition, allowing them to foresee potential futures and make choices that align with their desired outcomes. They can bend the threads of fate, altering the course of events and shaping their own destiny. This system enables users to manipulate luck, create coincidences, and even rewrite the destinies of others. However, wielding Fate comes with great responsibility. Users must maintain a delicate balance between their desires and the greater cosmic order. Misusing this power can have severe consequences, disrupting the natural flow of fate and creating unforeseen ripples throughout the universe.]

[Together, the Genesis System and its companion systems formed an unparalleled arsenal against the dragon menace. Each system served as a conduit for Aetherion's celestial power, granting mortals the means to stand against the forces that threatened their existence.

Thus, with the Genesis System at its core and the companion systems by its side, the celestial pantheon entrusted their creation to chosen champions—those destined to inherit the responsibility of safeguarding the realms from the draconic onslaught.

And so, the Genesis System and its brethren became the embodiment of hope and determination, a testament to the indomitable spirit of mortals. They stood as a beacon of light against the encroaching darkness, a symbol of rebirth and destined resolve in the face of ancient and formidable foes.]

[At least for a while.]
