"Recent international joint research has found that gene locks and special abilities represent two different paths of evolution. Once someone unlocks a gene lock, they can no longer awaken a special ability, and after awakening a special ability, they can no longer unlock a gene lock. Experts suspect that unknown changes in the body's genetic structure lead to these two entirely different evolutionary paths. Gene locks can be unlocked in four stages. The first awakens combat awareness and enhances physical strength. The second grants control over genes, allowing changes to the body's structure and immunity to all poisons. Even the zombie virus can be forcibly destroyed through genetic control. The third involves unlocking genes related to the brain, increasing intelligence and granting the ability to imitate others. The information currently available to us only covers up to the third-stage gene lock, but we believe a fourth stage exists: near-invincible strength. Enough strength to destroy a plane with one punch and tear apart an aircraft carrier with bare hands."
"As for special abilities, repeated awakenings grant greater reserves of ability energy, which provide various enhancements according to the ability awakened. Based on our current information, over ninety percent of awakened ability users worldwide possess strength-type abilities. Other special abilities are relatively rare."
"An international classification system for superhumans has now been established. Based on the number of gene lock stages unlocked or special ability awakenings experienced, superhumans are divided into stages one, two, three, and four, each representing a different level of combat power. We hope our nation's superhumans will use their strength responsibly, actively support government operations, and protect our fellow citizens! Humanity faces a crisis as great as the extinction of the dinosaurs. We must unite!"
"Finally, there is currently no reliable, effective method of awakening special abilities. We
