Science Meets Immortal Arts: I Rule the World

This story is fictional. All characters, plots, and settings are creations of the author's imagination, and every detail exists solely in service of the literary work.

A world war erupts on Blue Star. As the final nuclear warhead streaks across the sky, dusk is set ablaze into daylight, and radiation seeps like an invisible tide into every inch of the land. Amid the ruins, all things quietly mutate. Humanity is not spared: a fortunate few develop powers beyond the ordinary. They are known as the New Humans.

A hundred years later, the New Humans finally decide to abandon Blue Star, carrying the spark of civilization aboard steel arks as they sail into deep space. Thus begins the interstellar age.
