DEVIANTS
‘Let me tell you a story about my life… five years before my birth a life-changing event took place that took the world by storm. Green meteorites rained down from the heavens, killing millions, destroying properties worth billions of dollars!
On that very night, the world bled but luckily my family was one of the survivors of this incident but that’s not all… That night the world was shrouded in a green most, believed to have originated from the green meteorites. This led to the gene alteration of many that granted them superhuman abilities, these people are known as Deviants.
While many may shout, Hooray! Thinking this is a good thing, it’s not. Let me tell you what happens after this. The birth of the Deviants led to the creation of numerous cults, evil organizations, and countless individual criminals who call themselves ‘Super villains'. Thanks to the birth of the deviants, over a million people, have died in the past two decades as the crime rate increased drastically.
People like my parents who weren’t lucky enough to acquire abilities have lost their footing in society. After dedicating decades of their lives to the military and reaching the rank of Lieutenant, their orders are easily challenged by Deviants at the rank of staff Sergeant… Clearly, they are more like ceremonial heads now, with no power or authority.
The power system of the world changed drastically and because of this, many civilians without power like myself die daily and no one cares because we are normal…. To make matters worse, animals too were affected by the green mist from the meteorites. Granting them greater strength, intelligence, and even more terrifying abilities than what the humans possess....
