One day, Earth’s God of Destiny, and Galdardia’s Chief God had a bet.

‘I am an Eldritch entity?’Eryndor found himself questioning his existence after an accident which tested the limits of human endurance.His sealed consciousness burst open, expanding and covering the entirety of the Earth before receding abruptly.Subconscious use of Telekinesis controlled the stones to protect him as the overload of mind reading the entire population of Earth burdened his mind.Eldritch entities were one of the few Anomalies which had characteristics such as immense consciousness, Mind Reading, and Telekinesis.They were categorized as the strongest beings of the Main Universe.This world had Anomalies all along, with secret organizations placed everywhere to combat them.Was he one of the Anomalies sealed by them in the past?*****When the cosmic limit rose from 0 to 1 – Qi, Mana, Spiritual Energy, and Internal Energy surged into the universe, marking the Era of Superpowers and the emergence of Anomalies.Simultaneously, 8 Outer Domains—Cultivation, Magic, Mentalist, Martial Arts, Cyborg, Beast Taming, Demon, and Buddhist Worlds—formed portals to the universe.In response, humanity united under the Human Federation to combat Anomalies and repel the Outer Domain forces.******Watch as Eryndor uses both the power of Chaos - Eldritch Entities and Order - 8 different power systems of all the Eight Outer Domains, to rise through the numerous Realms and become the strongest Entity.*****

The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die.Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate.Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she?———————————————————————————————I am trying to go with a survival/“no modern tech” setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on what the world provides where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic.It turns more political between the various clans later on.
