The World is on a Knife's Edge

Originalis-the final nail in the coffin

“When humanity crossed the line between evolution and engineering, it found itself staring at something older, hungrier, and far more patient than itself.” — Extract from Augmentum Director Solariax, Internal Memorandum

The world stands on the knife’s edge. Global systems (ecological, political, and moral) are collapsing under their own weight. Flooded coastlines swallow megacities. Deserts expand where rain once fell. Water is traded like currency. Data is weaponized. And amidst the chaos, the next phase of evolution has arrived. The emergence of Homo Originalis (designation: Saptic Set) shattered the illusion of human dominance. Born through genetic anomalies first catalogued by Dr. Lassandro Saptic, these individuals embody raw, uncontrolled potential. Governments call them a threat. Corporations call them opportunity. The rest of humanity calls them myth—until they see one in action...

Discovered by Dr. Lassandro Saptic, the Saptic Gene Cluster redefined what it means to be human. Initial containment studies revealed individuals capable of matter manipulation, psychic control, and physiological evolution under stress. Governments called it mutation. Corporations called it profit. Within months, abductions began. Covert facilities rose across every major continent, hidden beneath the facades of research parks and renewable energy projects. The Augmentum was born to regulate these anomalies. But it has since become something else: a sovereign power beyond borders, a global shadow regime.
