The Glorious Evolution

In 2030, the world experienced an unprecedented collapse, not from conflict, but from the arrival of Nightcrawlers, beings from darkness intent on consuming sunlight for their evolution. Unable to absorb it directly, they infiltrated lifeforms or secured nocturnal contracts, granting them immunity and control of bodies. Within twelve hours, four billion lives were lost as Earth fractured into perpetual day and night. As humanity neared extinction, Holy Light Pillars descended, eradicating Nightcrawlers from one thousand cities and establishing safe havens. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, a young child's life was shattered when two Nightcrawlers murdered his parents and blinded him, leaving him inextricably linked to the Shadow Dimension. Was this a random act, a targeted strike, or something more profound? This is the story of Levi's quest through the intertwined realms of darkness and light, seeking the truth that lies hidden within both.
