Chapter 17 - The Birth of the Three Divisions Known as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma!

The Formation of the Three Teams:

Humanity stood on the precipice of the unknown.

Bound to the enigmatic and merciless Samsara World, their survival hinged on a fragile shield, a protective barrier that kept the horrors lurking beyond at bay. But that shield was fleeting.

Ten years.

That was all the time they had. A mere blink in the vast, unrelenting cycle of history.

When the barrier fell, the true nature of this world would be revealed, and with it, the cruel test of survival. Would Otherworlders rise… or be crushed beneath the weight of forces far beyond their comprehension?

To prepare for the coming storm, Supreme Commander Arthur Greaves put forth a single, defining strategy: the formation of three elite divisions, each with a singular mission.

A mission that would decide the fate of their species.

Would they thrive?

Or would they vanish into oblivion, another forgotten remnant in the annals of Samsara World?

The choice was theirs to make.

The Three Pillars of Survival

To stand a chance in this foreign world, humanity could not rely on hope alone. Strength, knowledge, and foresight would be the pillars upon which their survival rested.

Thus, Supreme Commander Arthur Greaves established three elite divisions, each entrusted with a mission that would determine the course of humanity's fate.

1. Alpha Team – The Training Division:

Mission: Forge the next generation of warriors by training young Ascendants (ages 16-21) in the Magic Circle Mage Path and Aura Force Ring Master Path the keys to power in Samsara World.

Objective: Establish the First Military Academy, a bastion of knowledge and discipline. Here, the weak would be reforged into champions, and the strongest would become the shields and swords of Otherworlders future.

Failure meant extinction. Success meant salvation.

---

2. Beta Team – The Exploration Division:

Mission: Venture into the safety of the barrier, into the uncharted expanse of the Otherworlders Continent. Their task maps the unknown, uncover hidden resources, and unearth the lurking threats that lay in wait.

Objective: Gathering of Information about resources, evolving animals and evolving plants. Information was their greatest weapon ignorance, their greatest weakness.

The world would not wait for them to be ready. They had to make themselves ready.

---

3. Gamma Team– The Intelligence Division:

Mission: Slip unseen into the lands of foreign civilizations. Learn their secrets. Understand their strengths and weaknesses. Determine whether they were allies to seek… or enemies to destroy.

Objective: Gather intelligence on the powerful races that ruled Samsara World. Ensure that when the first contact occurred, humanity would not be blindsided.

To be discovered was to die. To remain undetected was to hold the key to survival.

---

Each division carried a piece of Otherworlders fate.

The warriors would be their sword.

The explorers would be their map.

The spies would be their unseen eyes.

The countdown to the fall of the barrier had begun.

Ten years.

That was all the time they had to tip the scales of destiny.

Would they forge a future… or be erased from history?

The Decision That Changed Everything;

Arthur's piercing gaze swept across the gathered commanders and leaders of the World Alliance. The room was tense, the weight of the moment pressing down on every soul present. These were men and women who had seen war, who had led armies, who had made impossible choices. Yet now, they stood on the precipice of something far greater than the fate of humanity itself.

Arthur stood tall, his presence unshakable, a figure of unwavering resolve forged in the crucible of countless battles. His voice, calm yet unyielding, cut through the silence like a blade.

"What do you think? If my proposal is acceptable, we will proceed with a formal vote."

A heavy pause followed. No one spoke. No one breathed.

And then one by one, hands rose into the air.

No dissent. No hesitation.

A unanimous decision.

Arthur gave a single nod, his expression unreadable, yet beneath it lay the iron will of a man who had already accepted the weight of this choice. A leader could not afford doubt.

"Then it is decided," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of destiny itself. "The formation of Alpha Team, Beta Team, and Gamma Team begins immediately.''

A ripple passed through the room, a silent acknowledgement that history had just been rewritten.

This was not merely a strategy.

This was the first step in humanity's war for survival.

And with that declaration, a new chapter in history began.

First Actions – The True Beginning:

Within hours of the decision, the World Alliance roared to life. Orders were dispatched, supplies mobilized, and humanity's first strategic operations in Samsara World began. There was no turning back now every move they made from this point forward would decide their fate.

The clock was ticking.

Alpha Team – The Birth of an Academy;

The finest warriors and mages were summoned to form the backbone of Alpha Team, a force tasked with an unparalleled burden: forging the first generation of Ascendants. These chosen few would become the pillars upon which humanity's survival would rest.

At the heart of the World Alliance's stronghold, a bastion of learning and war rose from the ground the first Military Academy in Samsara World.

Young talents, once mere children, were plucked from obscurity, their fates rewritten the moment they stepped onto the path of Ascension.

-Training was merciless.

-Mana control was drilled into them, their minds and souls stretched to their limits under the piercing gaze of seasoned mages.

-Aura techniques were forced into their bodies, shaping them into warriors capable of tearing through monsters and men alike.

-Harsher conditions than any battlefield became their proving ground: simulated encounters against horrific creatures, survival trials in brutal elements, and combat exercises where defeat meant injury… or worse.

There was no room for weakness.

In this world, only the strong would survive.

And only the strongest among them would one day lead humanity into the future.

Beta Team – The First Steps into the Unknown;

While Alpha Team hardened future warriors, Beta Team walked into the abyss.

Armed with maps, weapons, and sheer will, these explorers stepped beyond the last bastion of civilization and into the untamed wilds of Samsara World.

Their target:

Mystic Ruins – Vast remnants of forgotten civilizations, etched with cryptic arcane inscriptions and brimming with artifacts of unfathomable power.

Dungeons – Twisted, living labyrinths where monstrous horrors lurked, where treasures and death lay hidden in equal measure.

Glowing Flora – Strange, pulsating plant life teeming with raw magical energy, hinting at secrets beyond human comprehension.

Every step forward revealed the true magnitude of their challenge.

Because the Otherworlders Continent this land they sought to claim was but a fragment of Samsara World.

Beyond it lay empires, kingdoms, and dominions ruled by beings whose strength dwarfed humanity's.

And when the barrier fell… those beings would come.

---

Gamma Team – A Mission in the Shadows;

Where Alpha Team trained for war and Beta Team sought knowledge, Gamma Team walked the path of ghosts.

Theirs was the most dangerous mission of all.

To infiltrate foreign civilizations, to unearth secrets buried in the depths of enemy lands, to gauge the power structures of those who ruled this world.

If humanity had allies, the Gamma Team would find them.

If humanity had enemies, the Gamma Team would expose them.

But there was one truth above all:

They could not be seen.

Assassins with disguised Blessings, these operatives possessed the means to survive in the dark:

Masking their presence, allowing them to walk unnoticed through foreign lands.

Suppressing their mana signatures, rendering them invisible to those who would seek to detect them.

Forging false identities, slipping into societies that could destroy them in an instant.

And yet, their first trial was their most perilous:

Crossing the barrier undetected.

To fail meant exposure and death.

To succeed meant knowledge and survival.

If they prevailed, humanity's destiny would shift forever.

But if they failed…

Humanity's existence would be revealed before they were ready to fight.

The Fate of Humanity in Samsara World;

As the World Alliance's forces moved into action, one undeniable truth loomed over them:

This world did not belong to them.

Samsara World was a realm where gods clashed, demons reigned, and primordial forces shaped reality itself, a place where the unworthy were erased without mercy.

Right now, Otherworlders was fragile, their position on the food chain precarious at best.

If they endured, adapted, and ascended, they would not simply survive, they would conquer.

Ten years.

And when the barrier finally collapsed…

Humanity would either rise to ascendancy—

—or be consumed by the darkness.

The true battle for survival had just begun.

The Fate of Otherworlders in Samsara World

Right now, Otherworlders was weak.

But within weakness lay potential.

And potential could be forged into power.

If Otherworlders could endure the trials ahead, adapt to the unknown, and evolve beyond their limits, they would not merely survive…

They would ascend.

One day, when the dust settled and history was written in the annals of time…

One day, their names would be etched into the legends of Samsara World.

---

The Countdown Has Begun:

Ten years.

That was all the time they had.

When the barrier fell…

The Otherworlders would stand at the precipice of annihilation or ascension.

Survival was no longer a choice.

It was the only path forward.

And so, with the weight of fate pressing upon them, humanity's journey into the unknown began.
