Chapter 408 - Epilogue 1 (1/2)

Ten years have passed and the world that was once a battlefield between humans against humans turned into a world were monster roam. Battles between humans were still happening but to a lesser degree as it was now a battle for survival for humanity against the monsters that came after the change.

With their newfound abilities and the materials they gained in this new world, the humans were able to create powerful weapons that could enhance their abilities, with these new weapons the humans were barely holding onto their spot as the ones on the top of the food chain.

For the sake of survival in such a dangerous new world, the remaining humans banded together to create the last fortress of humanity which they called, the Unified Human alliance.

The humans of the Unified Human alliance have created a giant dome using the strongest new materials they can find. This dome they created was meant to withstand attacks from giant class monsters, such as the mountain golem and dragons. Inside the dome, there is a simulated day and night system. Due to being unable to go out of the safety of the dome, the humans were forced to figure out how to create an artificial sun or something that has the same effects as one.

Now with their new technology even inside the Dome, the humans were able to grow plants and other such things that needed the sun's radiance. They were even able to replicate the different seasons inside the dome. Even though they didn't really need winter they still replicated it, just for the nostalgia. Also, some people liked the snow and playing in it.

...

The giant dome that protects all of humanity was 4,953 km², a massive structure that you can actually see with your n.a.k.e.d eye from space. Yet it can also be considered a bit small as it houses the remaining humans, that has now dwindled into a few hundred thousand, compared to the previous billions.

In this final utopia of humanity, life was the same as before as if the change never happened in the first place. Still, there were a few differences from before the change. The biggest and greatest difference was that people had gained new abilities in the form of the so-called superpowers.

In this new world, there were four categories of people. The first type were the ability users, these people had gained a one of a kind ability and even though they can only use this one ability, compared to the other types of people they are the top in terms of firepower.

The second type were the magic users. These people have gained the ability to control a new form of power within the human body, which scientists called terrenam potestatem, but the masses called it mana. Unlike the ability users, the magic users could use a wider array of skills, yet their power was lacking, but what they lacked in power they make up for versatility.

The third type were called the hybrids. These people were very rare, and they possessed both the qualities of the ability users and magic users. Among the four types, they are considered the most powerful.

The fourth and last type were called the unchanged. These were the people who were unfortunate enough to gain no ability. They remained the same normal humans as before. The only difference was that they were slightly stronger than the old humans. Old humans are what the new generation calls the humans before the change.

...

The other changes come from the military standpoint of humanity. In this new world, there are no longer any mercenaries, as the mercenary system became a thing of the past. Now the only time you would see a mercenary is when you read about them in history books.

The thing that replaced mercenaries and soldiers are people that are now called hunters. The age of mercenaries had ended a few years ago, and the age hunters officially began.

The hunters were a group of powerful individuals, that protect the dome from monsters. They are the only people allowed to leave the dome and have the privilege to look at the new world. Their purpose of heading out of the dome is to thin out the monsters near it. They are also tasked with searching for other humans that are surviving outside of the dome.

They are also sometimes given the task to escort scientists outside the dome to study new kinds of monsters. Aside from those things they are also assigned different odd jobs, as long as it has something to do with outside the dome, then it's part of their job.
