It was just like any other day except it wasn't like the other days. Something changed. Every oceans, rivers and even lakes on planet earth underwent tsunamis killing several people and destroying properties in the process, but that was not the only thing the water bodies. They also released the slates of power.
Those who were able to get a hold of a slate of power stepped on the path to godhood. The slates of power gave the knowledge to becoming a God to those who grabbed the slates of power released from the water bodies. The slates of power made everyone chase immortality at all cost.
This change brought about misery, grief and regrets.
