Author's Note:
Thank you for giving my story a chance! Please don't hesitate to review as I am very good about responding. This style is very different and new to me (in many different aspects). It is also slower paced, a little more difficult to read, but I am putting my heart in this one (my other story "Taboo" is a more a just-for-fun story). I tweaked a few things of the characters to fit my preferences as well, so just giving y'all a heads up. Again, thank you for giving this story a chance (and for reviewing!)! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, but the original characters I created and the story itself is entirely mine.
Prologue
Reader, you are about to be introduced to a world you have not yet heard of. This world is not of the supernatural, nor is it in any other dimension. Time is so far ahead from when you are reading at the present that you might consider this to be science fiction.
In this world Earth is no more. Man's futile and ignorant efforts made the planet uninhabitable. Simultaneously, overpopulation forced man to seek residence elsewhere. They were successful. Humans underwent evolutionary changes and have now adapted to different atmospheres. Technology, as well, aids their survival. For a while technology progressed at an exponential rate. Flying cars and cancerous ailments are but things of the past. Now, the races that you are aware of are non-existent. Languages that you speak are no longer spoken. In this aspect, this world is your enigma, your future.
However, society underwent regression. New races made new nations, who soon acted out on their belief of their own superiority amongst each other. World wars, the conquering of planets, and slavery resulted from man's bigotry. There is a great divide between the rich and the poor. While the rich possess planets and travel by spaceships, the poor barely possess rights. The only values left are money and power. In this aspect, this world is your familiar, your primitive past.
