About

Five years ago, gates opened to the world. Then, awakened individuals began to appear. And the world regained peace... If only that were the case. The government has only reclaimed 5% of the world, and only those with abilities are allowed into the new city, Utopia. (Status windows appear only during awakening or when acquiring a trait. Awakening occurs at the brink of life and death. Upon awakening, one unique trait is obtained.) Gate Ranks [Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] The danger level triples with each rank. Even a Level 1 gate cannot be cleared by a civilian. {Regarding Traits} Traits are divided into Unique Traits and Acquired Traits. [Unique Trait: A trait obtained upon awakening; does not have a rank.] [Acquired Trait: A trait obtained through a special occasion after awakening. Ranks are F<E<D<C<B<A<S<X in order.] {Leveling Up} You level up by gaining EXP dropped from killing monsters. It is extremely difficult to level up. Upon leveling up, you can obtain one additional Acquired Trait. Most of those standing at the absolute peak do not help others. {Augmentation Procedures} Enhances physical abilities by injecting nanotechnology into the muscle fibers of ordinary people. Procedures are performed at places called Workshops. A tiny minority of the strongest can blow away buildings, but most stop at a physical limit roughly three times that of a peak human. Ranks are Alpha<Beta<Gamma<Chrysalis<Omega in order. {Types of Augmentation} [Muscle Memory] Amplifies strength by injecting nanoparticles into muscle fibers. [Brainstorming] Enhances cognitive power by inserting a micro-computer into the brain. [Machine Body Throw] Amplifies various abilities by integrating machinery into the body. {Regions} Non-Binary: A place where non-powered people or low-level awakened live. Occupies 95% of the Earth's area. Utopia: A dream city where only high-level awakened can enter. Occupies 5% of the Earth's area. ¤ Creator's Note This work is about surviving in desperate and helpless situations. Please refrain from excessive overpowered tropes or peaceful scenarios. 😁
