There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Humanity was as if eroded by something, those who didn't survive died and became nutrients for the monsters, while those who did survive were not in much better condition.

In order to perpetuate the race and civilization, even under extremely harsh conditions, they could only strive to produce offspring.

The vitality of the offspring was just a bit stronger than that of the first generation.

During the remaining time, he and his sisters moved between different Wasteland fortresses, witnessing many people. Yet the land remained desolate and barren, and the sky enveloped in haze.

The world seemed trapped in the despair of the Abyss.

"I heard my mother say that the sky used to be very beautiful with blue skies, clouds, and rainbows, which I have never seen.

"But once there was a strong wind that dispersed some of the fog, and I saw the sky.

"It was only for a moment, though."

"With such powerful strength, I believe you are the new hope for humanity, the New Human born at the time of humanity's demise and destruction. You have immense Vitality, and you will surely live to see our civilization shine brightly again.

"By that time, you'll have to look at the sky for me."

As the last of his sisters lay dying, the boy heard her speak these words. He tried to use his own power to dispel the grey fog but failed.

The boy experienced the emotion of sadness.

His sisters, throughout their lives, had taught him to be wary of others but hoped he would use his power to lead humanity out of the Wasteland and establish a new civilization.

But he didn't know how to do that.

All he could think to do was to kill all the monsters on the Wasteland as best he could.

...

A hundred years after the eclipse.

Humans had already emerged from their cramped shelters and began to build larger cities on the Wasteland. At this time, monsters were no longer their threat. What was pressing was the imminent rupture of culture and civilization.

With more resources available, humans would try to create better lives for themselves.

It was also at this time, after entering the mechanical city carefully constructed by humanity, that the boy met another person with superpowers like himself.

But this person was close to death.

The person was trapped in the underground of the city by mechanical equipment, a myriad of cables and pipes entwining around their body, with numerous documents and data scattered around, as if the people here were conducting some experiment.

Because he'd been hunted and had moved from place to place over the years, every time the boy entered a human city, he would carefully scout the potential escape routes. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Then he discovered this laboratory.

He roughly understood why his sisters had repeatedly warned him never to trust those people.

Perhaps this was the consequence.

Upon discovering that an outsider had entered the underground laboratory, the test subject was very surprised until he realized the boy's abilities, and then excitedly pleaded with the boy for one thing.

It wasn't for the boy to take him out; maybe he already knew that he was dying.

According to this person, there were several other children like him who had strange powers. After the city was established and human Order restored, the things previously hidden in the dark slowly came to light.

Superpowers were not an anomaly.

However, compared to one person having such powerful abilities, those in power clearly preferred that everyone possessed these powers.

But they were not test subjects, nor machines; they were living humans.

When the scalpels fell, when the experiments directed at them began, they too would scream in pain and wail, despite their incredible abilities.

It was just that mutants were always ostracized.

The boy agreed to his request and even managed to rescue the dying person on the way out, causing a ruckus as usual, with countless armed people in pursuit.

Fortunately, the boy who had already thoroughly explored the structure of the city managed to escape successfully.

He could leave unscathed even without brandishing a weapon or hurting a soul.

"You're so powerful; you can definitely protect all of us!"

The children's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Big brother, stay with us!"

"We're all the same kind of people; we can live together in the future."

"We're people of the same organization!"

"Should we give our team a name?"

"Heavenly Bird! Call it Heavenly Bird!"

From heaven or its vicinity,

Release your freedom with joyous music,

You rise from the ground in a leap,

Like a bird taking flight, like light clouds ablaze,

What resembles you the most?

It's the neon-like aurora!

At that time, the oppressed children desired nothing more than to be free and at ease.

Since then, the boy, who was still young, took on the responsibility of protecting others, leading those considered mutants to strive for survival in the corners of this city.

...

Two hundred years after the eclipse.

Several massive cities rose from the planet, monsters had faded into oblivion, and modern humans were experiencing a flourishing era of development.

Heavenly Bird was just a small organization in the shadows, much like children playing house, leading those special children to huddle and live together.

They never dared show themselves, for if caught by the outside world, they would face not death but a fate worse than death.

The number of people in this little organization never exceeded ten.

The comings and goings, the people they could consider their kind, were always just a handful.
