'' Imagine if you were able to hold power in your hands. What would you do? Our evolution is nearing. Now, will you help get the future ready for this next step of evolution?'' -Prologue- It is the year 2030. The world is now a fallen war zone. The population has been decimated by 90% in the last three years. All because of one reason. The Meta-humans. In the past 10 years, the world has seen the rise of a species of people who are able to have a power. The Meta-gene. A recessive gene inside the human genetic code that laid dormant since man's first steps. In the year of 2020, humanity was advancing it's research into developing cures and anti-bodies that could fight off diseases before it can even attack the cells, but what they discover was something else. The Meta-gene was then discovered. Soon, after an experiment on a healthy individual, the first Meta was created. The Meta's name was Seth Shaw. He was gifted with a powerful one. He had the power to control the elements of Earth. This lead him to become a very dangerous man. Soon, he attempted to become a hero by the name ofThe Magician. After which, more Meta's started appearing. Incidents started happening. Involving heroes and Meta's alike. The Battle of New York, the Black Death incident, mass bombing in Moscow, and more. It was not until the year of 2023 that the United Nations attempted to limit the Meta's rights. The Meta-resignation Act of 2023 was soon drafted and signed by all the countries of the world. This required all known Meta's to identity themselves and let the world know what power they had. Some opposed this act. Shaw was one of them. He attempted to lead a resistance in order to get rid of the act, but failed. In the year of 2027, an incident in London required extreme measured response. The United Nations soon passed another act that allowed the governments of the world to create Anti-Meta task forces. These task forces were operated by a United Nations panel. Meta's and supporters were soon hunted and arrested and/or killed. It was not until the year 2029 where things soon made a turn for the worst. The task forces were conducting secret experiments that resulted in discovering a way that Meta's can be identify before the gene even awoken. Soon, mass killings were carried out. Normal humans who were not born with the gene were sentenced to labor camps. Now, only the worst of mankind rule the world. The world is near total collapse, but is it too late to change this destined dark future? Footsteps are heard as someone in a black hood ran through rubble. Spotlights came down from the sky as massive search ships hovered over a war torn apart Washington D.C. The man quickly hid inside a ruined bookstore. Panting can be heard as the man's face could not be seen. His coat was opened on the bottom as he wore cut up blue jeans and black running shoes. He soon looked down and saw a tattered magazine. He reached for it and looked at the cover. It read,'' Ivan Monroe, the world's first trillionare. Has he found a road for world peace with his new invention?'' The magazine was written back in 2021. Somehow it was still here 9 years later. The man dropped it and quickly started running as footsteps can be heard. Armored soldiers in high-tech gear starting giving chase after the hooded figure. They started shooting their plasma rifles at the man. The man quickly dodged by running in different directions. He soon pointed at the soldiers and his hand glew. Out came fireballs which was sent towards the soldiers. One was engulfed by the flames, but the soldiers did not stop. The man then soon launched himself up in the air. He was flying, but only for a short moment as a missile had made contact. The man pummeled from the sky and crashed into the ruined Wall Street building. He laid on the ground until the soldiers marched up. One quickly threw his hood off. '' Target acquired. 100% match. This is Luke Shaw. Most wanted criminal'' a soldier said. Luke looked up. His white skin was covered with dirt. He had blue eyes, a scar on his left cheek, and dirty blonde hair that went to the bottom of his neck.'' Dead or alive?'' the solider asked in an earpiece. '' How about dead you assholes?'' Luke screamed as he placed his hands together as the Earth itself swallowed the soldiers and Luke made a run for it. He kept running until he was able to finally lose them. Luke panted and finally arrived to his destination. He looked up and saw a 100 story skyscraper with the name Monroe on top. There were holes in the building. He walked inside the front doors. The doors shut behind him as he heard a figure walking down a flight of stairs. Luke smiled which felt like years of not smiling.'' At last, maybe we can finally change this future'' Luke said as the figure stopped.'' But first, I want to know everything like you promise. Tell me why it's like this.'' Luke demanded. The man chuckled. The man came from the shadows. He had pale white skin, a couple of wrinkles, green eyes, brown hair that was short and spotted some grey in it as well, a black shirt, brown jeans, a pistol on his hip, and finally a walking crane. '' Yes child. I will help you. Only because I owed your father so much.'' the old man said. '' Good. Tell me everything Ivan.'' Luke said as the man chuckled. He was Ivan Monroe. '' It all began 10 years ago inside a lab in Chicago...'' - To Be Continued- Authors note: I hope you enjoyed the prologue. I wanted to give a nice dark vibe. The story does start 10 years before these events, but I wanted to give an insight on how the future will look. I also dropped some clues on what will happen throughout this series. I hope everyone that reads this help me out too with ideas. I am also open to suggestions. Now, let us enjoy this series together which I hope can expand pretty far.
