Warning: Violence (I really dislike putting warning because for me it's a form of spoiler. I only reconsidered to include it for those readers who didn't want anything to do with blood. I'm not adding another warning though, because... let's just say this might be the worst.)

Prologue
Superhuman, an official term for a person who exhibited a gift at the age of five. Not everyone had a chance to bear a superhuman child because there must be at least one superhuman in the ingredients. However, there's a limit in reproducing. The more children a couple have the less likely they produce one. Usually, a family of superhumans, of either purebloods (both parents are superhuman) or hybrids (one of the parents has a gift while the other is mere human), have a maximum of two children. The DNA of a superhuman waned after it had underwent numerous times of replication, making their latter offspring a weaker superhuman. Unlike their first two children, the latter child was bound to have a power source, temporarily, until the time the said child completely exhausted what little he or she had and turned into a complete human. It's considered a tragic experience for superhumans to be ripped off of their gift. A gift was a vital part of their life, thus families were careful on having children altogether.
Superhumans and humans coexisted since forever in a rather strained relationship. The former race being treated like a monster while the latter race were consumed with their fear. Humans saw themselves as easy preys since they're powerless. It wasn't a baseless fear, superhumans lose control of their gifts and there were some dangerous abilities out there. Also, a handful of superhumans found enjoyment in using their gift to toy with humans. The animosity between the two races escalated until everything was divided. The owners of residential, commercial and industrial places only accommodated their own race while prohibited the other. Everything was in complete chaos.
Governments of both races put aside their differences to salvage whatever was left of their society. They established rules the two parties agreed upon which everyone had to abide. Lawbreakers would be punished in accordance with the law. No one was exempt, in the eyes of the law everyone was equal. It was a mixed response; most were satisfied, a few revolted. Those who revolted formed their own organization and challenged their government, their kind - the superhumans. Blood shed, and in the end the government of the superhumans defended themselves, their followers, and even the humans against their enemy - their own kind. They came out victorious, the members of the organization which went against the government was punished, accordingly.
Perhaps the way they finally achieved peace was through bloodbath. But sometimes, sacrifices had to be made for a greater cause. For the last two decades, the relationship between the two races has drastically improved. They now live together in harmony.
The places where most superhumans live today have been considered more progressive than any other country. They have grander infrastructures, better education, more advanced technology and medical facilities, and low crime rate. Living in these places cost a lot. However, there is enough jobs for everybody which undoubtedly could offer a better lifestyle.
Being aware of this reality, humans thrived to move settlements in these five big countries full of superhumans; in South America it has Barmwich, Whiteridge in Europe, an island in Asia near Japan called Hailing Cove, in northern part of Australia Erimere could be found, and finally, Crystalvale, which is located in North America. Out of the five countries, Crystalvale outshines the other four. It's by far the biggest in size and the most prosperous. In addition, the country houses the two most important buildings in superhuman world; Crystalvale Advance Research Facility or better known as Headquarter and Dalton Institute of Arcane.
The Headquarter runs the entire superhuman community, a facility that has access to anything and everything. Every single superhuman had to register themselves by the age of five when they finally received their gift. This way, the government could easily keep tabs on superhumans and be able to address concerns as was needed. Furthermore, the Headquarter should be informed when a family of superhumans desired to move residency, as well as requesting for a different job from the one they have had. Always notify the Headquarter of any changes an individual was going to do before he or she proceeds further. Failure to do so will face consequences.
Despite the government ruling with an iron fist, superhumans never harbored any ill feelings toward their leaders. They have been showing impressive results for years and it satisfied everyone. Well, those who weren't thrilled were smart enough to keep their opinion to themselves rather than be on the mercy of the government.
It's all been smooth sailing for both races. The superhuman community even built their own school not long after they had established a stable relationship with humans. Dalton Institute of Arcane (D.I.A) could be found in the southern part of Crystalvale, in small town called Doltore. It's an exclusive boarding school for gifted primary to high school students, and it occupied a quarter of the town's land.
After half a decade when D.I.A was built, the Headquarter decided to build additional schools in the remaining four countries. Since then, a single primary to middle school in every country was constructed to prevent early separation of superhuman children from their families. However, when a student reached high school, they should move and attend D.I.A.
Not everyone was keen with the idea though. There were still some families who preferred their children being homeschooled for reasons only the Headquarter knew. Thereby requiring students to submit quarterly assessment from an accredited private tutor to the Headquarter. There's a few downsides to being home-schooled; firstly a private tutor costs twice the tuition of a regular D.I.A student, secondly homeschooling was frowned upon, claiming its lack of proper education a child should receive. But, these didn't deter families to choose the option.
Due to rigorous and advanced education for high school superhumans, they were catapulted to a job after graduation. Senior students must take the Career Placement Exam or CaPE, wherein a student would choose three categories of their interest such as; I-Corp., Pro-Tech, Mech-Support, Med-Group, Advance Research, MeArTh (Media, Arts, Theater), Military Services, or Soc-Scie (Social Science). If a student passed all three choices, the decision on which category to pursue was solely on the student.
After which, the newly graduate D.I.A student would undergo an extensive minimum of ten months training for their chosen career, while home-schooled one has to complete at least a year and a half training before landing on their desired job. Completion of training varied on the individual's capacity to learn.
Although it's clear as day the benefits that go with studying in D.I.A during high school, the main reason why students are ecstatic to move in a foreign country and leave their families at an early age had something to do with the possibility of finding their soulmate.
Soulmate, a person whom you have a natural affinity from the moment you meet. Be it an acquaintance, a friend, best friend, a lover, or even an enemy. As this connection nurtured, soulmates tend to be more dependent to their other half. They gravitate toward each other, they were like magnets of opposite sides which easily attracts the other, and the apparent feeling of being alive for the first time was ever so present.
The name appeared on the left inner side of the superhuman's wrist on their fifteenth birthday. It was written beautifully in cursive black ink without any regard to race and gender. Soulmate was believed to be the perfect match of the other. Prejudice against homosexuality has never and will never be an issue, or at least for those who lived in superhuman countries. On the other hand, humans never experienced such a remarkable event when they turned fifteen. And, even if they're the fated match of the superhuman, they wouldn't have a mark. This left the entire searching task to the superhuman.
In the event the soulmate died, the other half will experience unimaginable sense of loss and longing. Dealing with it varies from one person to another. Oftentimes, it lead to depression and even possible suicide - a very common alternative for teenagers. After being torn apart by death, the remaining person's mark will slowly fade until it went back to its former state.
