The villain spins through the air, barely regaining balance before the hero rockets upward after him, wrapped in blazing blue energy. They clash mid-air, swords striking again and again as shockwaves ripple through the clouds. The camera circles them as they free-fall, sparks and glowing fragments raining down below. With a sudden burst of red power, the villain kicks off the hero’s chest, blasting him back toward the groundChapter 1: The Name of the WorldIn the year 5007, no one called it Earth anymore.Names carried weight, and “Earth” reminded people of a time when the planet had almost died. After centuries of rebuilding, humans chose a new name—World 5007—to mark how far they had come, and how many years it had taken to finally understand how to live.From space, World 5007 looked calm. The oceans were deep blue again, free of oil and plastic. Green continents breathed with forests that stretched farther than they ever had before. Cities no longer scarred the land; they hovered above it or blended into mountains and valleys like quiet guests.Peace, however, did not mean perfection.Sixteen-year-old Aren Vale stood on the balcony of Learning Tower Seven, staring out at the sky-lanes where light-trains moved silently between cities. Everyone else around him talked about exams, careers, and celebrations. Aren thought about questions no one else seemed to ask.What did we lose to get here?Chapter 2: A Different Kind of StudentAren wasn’t rebellious. He followed rules, studied hard, and respected his teachers. But while other students focused on future design, Aren loved the past.History classes in World 5007 were… gentle. Wars were summarized. Disasters were softened. Entire centuries were reduced to short warnings: “Human conflict caused damage. Cooperation restored balance.”Aren felt that something was missing.That curiosity led him to the Deep Archive, a restricted digital vault that stored unfiltered records from the Old World. Only approved researchers and Memory Scholars could access it.Aren wasn’t approved.But he was patient.Chapter 3: The Door That Shouldn’t OpenLate one evening, when the tower was nearly empty, Aren sat alone at a public terminal. He wasn’t hacking—hacking was illegal and unnecessary. Instead, he studied forgotten access paths, abandoned permissions, and old system logic.World 5007’s technology was advanced, but it was built layer upon layer over ancient systems.Old doors were still there.The screen flickered.ACCESS GRANTEDAren’s breath caught.He hadn’t expected it to work.Chapter 4: Voices of the Old WorldThe Deep Archive wasn’t dramatic. No alarms. No flashing warnings. Just files—millions of them.Videos. Journals. News reports. Personal messages.Aren opened one at random.A woman appeared on screen, sitting in a dark room lit by candlelight. Her voice shook as she spoke about ration shortages. Another file showed a child describing a flood that swallowed his neighborhood. Another showed people arguing, protesting, helping each other, failing, trying again.It was messy. Loud. Emotional.It was real.Aren stayed all night.Chapter 5: The File Named “5007”Just before dawn, Aren noticed something strange.A file dated far earlier than expected.PROJECT 5007 – FINAL RECORDConfused, he opened it.An elderly man appeared, wearing a symbol Aren recognized—the ancient emblem of the first Global Coalition.“If you’re seeing this,” the man said, “then humanity survived.”The man explained that Project 5007 was never meant to predict the future. It was a promise. A reminder left behind so future generations wouldn’t forget the cost of survival.“We didn’t save the world,” the man said softly. “We borrowed it from you.”The file ended.Aren sat in silence, heart racing.Chapter 6: The ChoiceAren knew what he was supposed to do.Close the archive. Forget what he saw. Return to his normal life.But the voices wouldn’t leave him.The fear. The hope. The mistakes.Peace without memory felt fragile.That morning, Aren made a decision that would change World 5007 forever.Chapter 7: Breaking the SilenceInstead of reporting the file, Aren shared it.Not publicly—not yet.He showed it to his mentor, Lysa Corin, a senior Memory Scholar who had quietly questioned the softened history curriculum for years.Lysa watched in silence.When the screen went dark, she didn’t speak for a long time.“They were afraid,” she finally said. “Afraid that truth would scare people.”Aren nodded. “But ignorance is worse.”Chapter 8: The Council ReactsOnce the archive leak was discovered, the Council of Balance responded quickly.Aren was summoned.The chamber was vast and bright, designed to feel calm. Twelve Councilors sat in a circle, their expressions controlled.“You accessed restricted history,” one said.“Yes,” Aren replied.“And shared it.”“Yes.”“Why?”Aren took a breath. “Because peace built on forgetting isn’t peace. It’s delay.”The room went quiet.Chapter 9: A Divided WorldNew
