The full moon is high in the sky, shining with it's glory as if showing off the beauty and calm atmosphere which it brings to the night.
Unknown to everyone, a portal, yes, a portal straight out of a movie appeared in front of the Statue of Liberty, and a blue hand emerged from it, then it's body, then it's leg, crawling out as what we call a monster of our worse nightmare, and this is the end of the era of technology and the start of a new era. An Era which will be called...
***
1 Year Later...
"Era of Mana my ass, more like era of homelessness"
A boy the age of 16 walked along the street while mumbling, well dressed yet dirty, handsome yet beaten up. Bruses and fresh cuts can be seen everywhere, even his clothes seems like it's aged in the First World War upon closer inspection.
A young man of 6'2 feet (187 cm to those who ask) nevertheless.
"This stupid bronze coin isn't even gonna get me 2 loaf of bread, what the fuck happened to the good old dollars?
"WHICH FREAK DECIDED THAT BRONZE SILVER GOLD COINS LIKE ONLINE NOVELS IS A GOOD IDEA!?" He screamed to no one in particular.
"By the way kid, 100 bronze can get you a silver, 100 silver can get you a gold, 100 gold can get you a platinum, 100 platinum can get you a small mana stone, 100 small mana stone can get you a medium mana..."
"YES I KNOW, I DIDN'T ASK OK? I'M NOT RETARDED! I WAS JUST SAYING IT'S STUPID AND IT MADE ME HOMELESS LIKE YO....everyone here!"
Felix Morrow exclaimed while spinning around to answer but instead saw a pitiful old man sitting with a smile that reminds him of family.
As mana is introduced to Earth exactly 1 year ago, it had gone through changes unimaginable, currency, power ladder, countries.
Yes, Countries is simply not a thing anymore. There is only Kingdom, as country is ruled by democracy while kingdom is ruled with power and domination.
However, it's not like everyone can just sit around and do nothing now that they got "magical powers", portals of unknown origin is opened at anytime, anywhere randomly, with a grading system.
Those needed to be taken down as soon as possible as creatures inside is not something that can be fought with weapons of the wrong era.
No, it need to be a cultivator with sufficient power, which also meant this is a job which is in high demand and high reward.
And anyone who doesn't have a talent to cultivate is reduced to labour such as chef, builder, etc...
Felix refuses to believe he cannot cultivate, yes, people told him he is allergic to Mana. Yes, he is allergic to mana. But only absorbing it, he cannot directly absorb mana, as somehow his body rejects it, but he is right now a proud First Stage Mana Gathering Realm Expert. The lowest among lowest of awakened cultivator.
"You got a bronze to spare?" The old man begged with a confident smile, as if expecting our MC to just hand him his hard earned money.
