A few days had passed since then. The world continued to face a growing number of Rift appearances with each passing day. And alongside that, as if nature itself were attempting to maintain some semblance of balance, more and more awakened humans were emerging every day.
Foreign nations had already begun losing control over them, particularly those with fewer resources and insufficient surveillance personnel to identify, recruit, or contain the newly awakened.

Someone slicing a car cleanly in half with his bare hand. Another person stepping off the edge of a building and simply refusing to fall, as though gravity itself no longer applied to them.
Such incidents were impossible to dismiss as simple tricks. They were strange, undeniable, and becoming far too common.
