Chronicles of Veromonians
For countless centuries, humans maintained domination over the world. Renowned for their powerful intellect, this race lived to satisfy their deepest greed and to satiate their hunger for power and dominance, shaping the world as they saw fit. Unlike all other life forms, this heightened intelligence allowed them to build vast empires and advanced civilizations, all bathed in blood and pain.
Civilizations, entire peoples eradicated, giving way for this plague to spread and enjoy all the killing and destruction they craved. Due to the lack of enemies and challenges to match their brutality, humans began to kill each other, as a result of discrimination, greed and unbridled repudiation.
But little did they know that even for the most advanced and powerful species, their years of tyranny would come to a tragic end. And when they least expected it, disaster struck. The condemnation for such actions came in form of intense anomalies manifested across the globe, bringing death, fear and uncertainty to the fore.
Among such anomalies, a giant catastrophe resided within the Earth's core itself. According to analyzes carried out by scientists all around the world, the terrestrial core was gradually cooling down, which would bring as a direct consequence the elimination of the atmospheric field, giving way for solar irradiation to take over. And with that, it didn't take long for life present on the blue planet to disappear.
A tragic end for all the species that resided there, all eradicated in less than an instant. There was nothing but drought, radiation, and an intense decaying atmosphere on this lifeless, empty and dread land. Catastrophically, nothing could be done, and life on this planet would never see the light of hope. Or would it?
After millennia, the Earth's core began to recover itself, which gradually recomposed the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, however, life still needed much more before sprouting again. After countless centuries have passed, rains took over the surface, cooling this incandescent celestial body and returning water to it. This was the last step to recover what was lost.
Radiation still reigned over the world but, instead of making it impossible for life to grow, the new life forms that were established there transformed themselves with this radioactive sea, evolving in a different way. As time passed, more and more life forms resurfaced, and shortly after, humans returned, still, this time around, it was different.
Thanks to radiation, the human species was divided into two main strands: ordinary humans and those who were named "Veromonians". This second division consisted of individuals affected by radiation, with enhanced capabilities such as enhanced physical strength and agility, accompanied by supernatural abilities.
The human intellectual capacity, combined with the acquired powers, allowed the world to get a rapid evolutionary process, with great scientific and technological advances, generating a world infinitely more evolved than the previous one. Despite these advances, the brutality of this race had not ceased, enjoying these new capabilities.
Aware of this, governments around the world have devised ways to contain the growing threat posed by such criminals. With that in mind, the Kotana Organization was founded in Japan. With leaders hand-selected by the government due to their expertise, alongside the usage of military force and Veromonian's powers, the organization's purpose was to put an end to the organized crime brought to the fore.
In a world of inequality, abusive capabilities and uncertainty, what will it be like to deal with the violent and destructive crime caused by the atrocities that these powers brought?
