Five Years Stranded in Another World Mangá e Quadrinhos de IA

In the year 2026, faceless, human-like entities wearing black cloaks appeared on Earth through inexplicable rifts. Humans called them "The G". These entities controlled beasts that grew strange minerals on their bodies and possessed strength far superior to normal animals. The G used them to attack people in many countries. Militaries worldwide mobilized to counter these "Demon Beasts," eventually halting the first wave of attacks, though at the cost of massive casualties. Just as the situation seemed to calm down, the rifts reopened. This time, they sucked people and objects from Earth into an unknown world. Those taken included soldiers, civilians, families, children, the elderly, and professionals from various fields. This new world was filled with vast forests, Demon Beasts, and city ruins swallowed by nature. The presence of two moons in the sky confirmed they were no longer on Earth. Humans later named this place "AN" or "Another World," marking the day of arrival as "G-Day," the beginning of the year AN-01. The newcomers materialized relatively close to one another—some a few kilometers apart, others nearby. However, an unfortunate group materialized face-to-face with a red-cloaked entity known as the "G-God" in an area later known as the "Ashen Fields". Resembling The G but vastly more powerful, it could speak human language. Its welcome was a massacre carried out by an army of Demon Beasts. The survivors scattered and fled, eventually gathering into groups and communities to find a way to survive. Five years passed, bringing humanity to the beginning of the year AN-06. They began to establish their own towns, roads, commerce, and communication systems. Knowledge from Earth was adapted alongside discoveries made in AN. Individuals with prior professional experience became the backbone of community building and restoration, passing their skills down to the younger generation. Humans learned that the meat of certain Demon Beasts could be eaten if processed correctly, while the toxic "Danger Mineral" could be refined into materials, energy, and weapons. Yet, despite these advancements, they still did not fully understand the world they inhabited. Among hundreds of member districts, three major powers emerged with distinct roles: • Sacred: A military superpower founded by Richard Hadley and currently led by Thomas Caldwell, his former second-in-command. Sacred believes that order, manpower, industry, and wartime readiness are the ultimate guarantees of survival. • JSC: A hub for civilians, trade, and exchange. Its center is "Central," a city restored from the ruins of a mega-metropolis. Both factions, along with other communities, coordinate through the Humanity Central Council (HCC), an inter-district organization that does not hold the power of a global government. • Hope: A frontier town built by Hadley and his supporters after he was exiled from Sacred due to ideological conflicts and governance approaches. Located in a fertile forest, it sits closest to the Ashen Fields among the three superpowers, though a buffer zone remains. At the start of AN-06, Hope has a population of approximately 17,200 people and stands out for its exploration, research, and Danger technology, despite having less manpower than the two larger factions. Hadley governs Hope alongside five core administrators. When major issues are put to an official vote, the majority decision binds everyone, including Hadley himself. The civilian administration participates as permanent advisors; though they have no voting rights, their expertise and the respect they command carry significant weight. The town strives to assign jobs based on ability and cares for those unable to work, ensuring that veterans, the wounded, the disabled, children, and ordinary families can build a life. The hope to defeat the G-God and find a way back to Earth remains alive. But for Hope, as long as they cannot return home, the people must have houses, schools, medical care, and a tomorrow to look forward to. While the town gradually expands, most of AN remains unmapped. Rifts can still open, Demon Beasts still threaten transit routes, and ancient ruins still guard truths that no one has fully pieced together. Preserving the lives they have just built means facing the dangers of a new world, conflicts among humans, and the question of what they are willing to lose for the future of the survivors. 📋 Chapter Outline: Chapter 1 — Son of the Water 1. Pre-Mission Briefing & Setup • The Safety Protocol: Christina Hadley reviews a 10-point safety document with Leo Ashford, Head of Hope's Intelligence Unit, forcing him to sign and acknowledge the risks before deployment. • Dynamic of the Leads: The scene establishes Leo’s playful yet highly capable demeanor, the deep trust between him and Chris, and his specialized expertise in ancient languages and archaeological analysis. • Ancient Clues: Leo analyzes photos of ancient cave carvings depicting water-related activities (boats, canals, weirs), raising his hypothesis that the cave is a man-made historical site rather than a natural formation. 2. Arrival at the Vanguard Base & Risk Assessment • Environmental Threat: The Mobile Command Vehicle (MCV) travels through heavy rain. Chris warns Leo about the unpredictability of natural disasters and his tendency to court danger. • The Briefing Tent: Leo and Chris meet with Marcus Reed (Head Ranger) to review critical intelligence updates: • Two Rank-A Demon Wolves have been spotted moving together near the cave entrance. • Recent flash flood debris found high up on surrounding trees signals a threat of sudden water surges. • Ibrahim (Engineer) reports a structural anomaly—a hidden subterranean cavity—behind a recent rockfall inside the cave. • The Secret Exposed: Marcus and Chris discover that Leo secretly enrolled in an advanced cave diving course under the Rangers, training under the veteran instructor Owen Mercer without notifying his superiors. 3. The Expert’s Arrival & The Execution Plan • Owen Mercer Integrates: The calm and meticulous 45-year-old diving instructor arrives at the forward base to finalize the dive plan. • Strict Turnaround Rules: Owen sets unyielding operational boundaries for the two-man dive team (Owen and Leo): if any structural anomaly is found or equipment limits are reached, they must turn back immediately. Leo agrees. • The Farewell: Chris personally inspects Leo's waterproof casing for his communication Link. She tells him not to bear all the risks alone, leaving him with a strict command: "Do not die without my permission." 4. Underwater Descent & Historical Discoveries • Entering "The Forward Pier": Equipped in drysuits and side-mount cylinder configurations, Leo and Owen submerge into a pitch-black pool illuminated only by bioluminescent blue crystals. • Archaeological Footprints: • They discover a wall carving of a figure surrounded by currents with a distinctly severed finger. • They find a row of stone pillars and straight, angular cuts on the stone surfaces, proving the cave was an ancient, artificial structure. • The Divergent Path: Leo spots a mysterious stone altar deeper to the right. However, with time and air supplies nearing their pre-planned thresholds, Owen signals the turnaround, and Leo complies. 5. Cave Collapse & The Cliffhanger • Structural Failure: During the exit, low-frequency rumbles vibrate through the water. Silt and debris begin raining down from the ceiling as a massive fault line opens above them. • The Separation: A sudden cave-in drops massive boulders across the narrow transition tunnel, instantly separating Owen (on the exit side) from Leo (trapped in the inner chamber). Leo sustains a wrist injury during the scramble. • The Selfless Choice: Leo notices the ceiling on Owen's side is about to suffer a secondary collapse. Realizing an attempt to clear the path will kill them both, Leo uses hand signals to order his mentor to retreat to the surface and coordinate a rescue team. • Trapped in the Dark: A secondary collapse completely seals the gap, severing the guide line and blocking out all remaining light from Owen's flashlight. Leo is left isolated in the flooded ruins with his air supply ticking away.
