In a Million Years - Evolution Omnipotence #Passage 1 #Sci-Fi
It took me three blessed years to write the first book of my trilogy, pouring my heart into it as a hobby—a Sci-Fi epic expanding the borders of reality with a jaw-dropping action packed narrative.
Dedications
When we were little, we used to often escape and wander within imaginary worlds. Worlds where we felt safe, where we felt powerful and free, invincible, and even had superpowers. With the passing of time, all those worlds slowly faded away, and although we could travel there, they did not bring the same comfort as before. We started separating what is imaginary and what is real. Be it so, there, under the influence of adulthood’s aching inconveniences, a spark ignited into the creation of In a Million Years - Evolution Omnipotence. A book comfortably dedicated to anyone whose imagination needs a gentle push. Such a cliché, right?
Dedicated to anyone who has lost that world, where they feel safe and protected. The Evolution Omnipotence era, as fictitious as it is, will blur the borders between imagination and reality within your mind. As you read through the lines and immerse yourself in the story, try to take a moment to reflect on your presence within this blissful future. Who would you be? Where will you be? What would you be doing?
Out of millions of species on Earth, we are the only one that has looked past our cosmic domain. The only one that has reached other planets. Yes, our observations are far beyond our own solar system, but can you imagine what the chances of such things are? We are already so unique and so extraordinary that my profound astonishment for our amassed intellectual feats opens possibilities composed beyond admiration. I, the author of In a Million Years - Evolution Omnipotence, strongly believe that in the future we will be an interplanetary species and will reach unthinkable heights. And now, the second dedication, to the ones that believe in our civilisation and have made it, make it, and will make it all possible!
Whoever you might be, you will always be free to do as you wish with your life. But there is one thing you need to understand: be a part of progress or do not ever stand against it! And I will see you in a million years…
Intro
This is a story of worlds beyond Earth’s restraint, of places forged under the limitless potential of our successors. A moment in time where you are alive, well, breathing, and moving. What might that mean? Well, I tremble to think that you believe we cease to exist after our tragic demise. And not only that, you might not believe it, but you feel something within you—that feeling—that death is just not the end, a figurative sensation claiming our place through eternity. Quite unfortunate if you ask me that this sensation is fuelled by nothing more than the unfair absence of empirical evidence from the ‘afterlife.’ Perhaps we should focus on constructing our own meaning and purpose.
Similar to dreaming, most certainly, we are not susceptible to feeling the passing of time when we face the infamous scythe figure. If we are to wake up from a yearlong sleep, it would feel like a blink of one’s eye. What if we were to rise from our ‘forever’ sleep into a far and distant future, one built by our most capable young, spanning across thousands of generations? What if our successors were to wake us up? It might seem impossible, but is it improbable?

One million years since humanity first appeared within the infinite universe. Times of Evolution-Omnipotence, the era that proclaimed the forbiddance of our extinction. A network of eighty-one planets, the ultimate peace and prosperity advocate and everyone’s long-yearned utopia. Our endless quest for purpose is fuelled by interstellar expansion, permitting only time to stand between us and infinite treasures of knowledge.
As we spread our domain further and fall prey to countless new worlds that test our willingness to survive. Do not imagine our brothers and sisters dressed in ripped drapes and dusty rags, barely holding under a straw hut within walls of clay. No, we never came that far only to leave our underdogs in a heroic setting. We came from above, above any resistance a civilisation bound to its planet could muster. And we knew that conquering would be as simple as pushing the first domino. So instead, we raised civilisations out of ruin and built worlds of unity and prosperity.
As for how we carried ourselves through time. Never-ending purpose or entertainment, pick your poison. Residence exchange programmes, non-existent mental burdens, limitless virtual realities, and the vastness of nature’s wonders across both habitable and uninhabitable planets. Comfortable homes, interspecies interactions, and billions of tameable wildlife creatures; repetitiveness couldn’t even be mentioned by some of humanity’s eldest.
The Abragar family; a noble representation of what it feels like to be an immortal human. Being alive for thousands of years can be deemed a paradox by many weak minds. Let them shudder, be strong, face what you are meant to evolve into without fear. In truth, it is nothing more than an inner pageantry of principles. Becoming content within your own limits and potential, not allowing your primitiveness to wildly stray—earned admiration.
Beyond it all lies the story of the youngest son of the Abragar family, Vian, an ordinary boy puppeteered by a seemingly unambiguous design. Born for the first time just above a decade ago, bound for hardships no human should ever have to overcome. Can this world, immune to physical ailments and cosmic threats, reveal secrets capable of embodying an abysmal architect of history?

A very delightful in itafion, and read, to imagine. I love your concept. You had me recounting the fun innocence of my youth, though I still live that way, imagining, wondering and thinking (really) that places like the never ending story is somewhere, that taking a transport to Nabu is right around the corner and even finding the rivers and lakes where sirens live.
Very well done. Great balanced dedication.
Thank you for sharing. (Are you celebrating still 😁😁😁)
I read an article once that there’s a possibility that humans will replicate themselves through AI. And that this replication, our AI selves, will be on the nose, exact copies, but will have the ability to expand out into the stars with a limitless life cycle. And this article suggests that it could be that whatever alien species might be out there, had done this same thing, long ago and isn’t interested in our present, human forms, yet. This idea reminds me of your opening excerpt. Thanks for your story, it gets the imagination primed. It also reminds me of the Bradbury sci fi books, where humans were obsessed with the stars.
