The world once thrived in harmony. People laughed, chatted on street corners, and children played beneath skies filled with birdsong. That peace ended the day Vick Leward flipped a switch.
A renowned prodigy in every field of science, Vick had built a satellite—one not just advanced, but magical. Its purpose: to grant powers to anyone it targeted. But the satellite was a mess of rusted metal, tangled wires, and sparking circuits. What should have been a controlled activation became a planet-wide disaster.
It malfunctioned. Badly.
Sparks flew. The satellite trembled in orbit. Then a surge. In a flash, everyone on Earth—every man, woman, and child—was gifted powers based on the knowledge they held. Worse, the satellite's strange biological tech encoded the power into their very genes.
"NO, NO, NO." Vick, wide-eyed and pale, ran to his console. Static blared. Monitors flickered.
"EVERYONE, THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" he yelled through the broadcast. "IT APPEARS YOU'VE ALL GAINED POWERS IN CORRELATION TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE. BUT NO PROBLEM, I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIssss-#-*;#!###()#($$+#;#;"($(#)#—"
The signal cut out. Vick was never seen again.

Minutes before the chaos..
"It's all set! Finally—they'll recognize me as the greatest scientist in the world!" Vick cheered, standing among overheating monitors and a web of sparking cables. "Just one flip of the switch and... I'll be a legend."
He was right—just not in the way he hoped.

3 Centuries Later
The world adapted. People mastered their powers. Cities rebuilt. Knowledge was now as valuable as gold—and just as dangerous.
People faced challenges and trials to gain new knowledge. Knowledge was the source of power for some people, a couple decades earlier—knowledge was isolated away. Knowing that some knowledge will be too much for this world, a world where knowledge was the key to being all powerful.
At the west of Quasar City, a small but comfortable house stood tall. The house was old, polished, and clean. Several decades old.
Below the surface of that house lies a lab, where experiments takes place—where knowledge is attained.
In a lab filled with chemicals and beakers, computers who flashed with equations, searches about electricity, books about chemistry and physics on the desk. There stood a tall figure, he has a lab coat, his trusty goggles and has black hair with brown eyes.
