PROLOG

At first glance, it seemed like any other typical day. The gentle breeze rustled through the trees, while the sky remained a clear blue expanse, and the sweet melodies of birds filled the air. People went about their usual business, with some heading to work and others going for a leisurely jog. However, what seemed like an ordinary day quickly took a turn for the unimaginable. The idyllic routine of the townspeople was abruptly interrupted by a strange and foreboding event. All eyes turned upward as a dark spot materialized on the once-bright sun, filling onlookers with an unshakable sense of dread.

Their worst fears were soon realized as a streak of blazing lights appeared, hurtling towards the planet at a breakneck pace. The people watched in horror as seven meteors slammed into the Earth with a thunderous crash, causing the ground to quake beneath their feet. Each plummeting to disparate locations around the globe

In a moment of sheer terror, panic and chaos swept through the town as people scrambled for safety, desperate to escape the looming disaster. The dark spot on the sun had heralded the end of their world, and it was clear that nothing would ever be the same again.

The aftermath of the meteor impact was even more harrowing than the initial disaster. The air was thick with dust, and an eerie stillness had fallen over the town, giving it an almost ghostly appearance.

As the people tried to process the extent of the damage, they quickly realized that something was dreadfully wrong. Their phones and computers were dead, and the power lines that once hummed with electricity were now silent. The radiation emitted by the meteors crippled all human technology, leaving the town in complete darkness and isolation.

It was a frightening realization - the people were cut off from the outside world, and there was no way of knowing what other horrors might be lurking beyond them. With no communication or transportation, they were left to fend for themselves, facing an unknown and potentially catastrophic threat with nothing but their wits and resources.

In the aftermath of the meteor strike, chaos reigned supreme. The streets were filled with people running wild, smashing store windows, and looting whatever they could get their hands on. The sounds of shattering glass and people shouting filled the air, as the town descended into a state of anarchy.

Fights broke out as people competed for resources, with some resorting to violence in order to gain an edge. It was every man for himself, and the weak were quickly trampled underfoot as the strong fought to survive.

The few who tried to maintain order were quickly overwhelmed, and the police were nowhere to be found. With no authority to enforce the law, the world had become a lawless wasteland that might make right.

As the first few minutes turned into hours, the rioting continued, with no end in sight. The once-peaceful town had been transformed into a violent, dangerous place, where survival was the only thing that mattered.

After a full day of chaos and destruction, the sound of rumbling engines could be heard in the distance. As the people looked up, they saw a convoy of military vehicles approaching.

The arrival of the military brought a sense of relief and hope to the people. They knew that help had finally arrived, and that order would soon be restored.

As the soldiers fanned out across the town, they worked to calm the frightened and desperate people. They reassured them that everything would be okay and that they were there to protect them.

The military quickly established a makeshift refugee camp, where the townspeople could find safety and shelter. They set up tents and distributed food and water, doing everything in their power to make the people feel comfortable and secure.

With the military in charge, the town gradually began to return to a sense of normalcy. The rioting and violence subsided, and the people began to work together to rebuild their shattered community.

The arrival of the military had brought a ray of hope to a town that had been plunged into darkness and despair. For the first time in days, the people began to believe that there was a way out of the nightmare they had been living through.

As the days passed, the townspeople realized that the effects of the meteor strike were far from over. The radiation emitted by the meteors was causing the surface temperature to rise rapidly, making it almost unbearable to be outside.

The military worked tirelessly to try and find a solution to the problem, but it soon became clear that there was only one option - the people would have to retreat underground, to seek shelter from the scorching heat.

A massive underground shelter was quickly constructed, capable of housing the entire population of the town. The people were urged to gather their belongings and make their way to the shelter, where they would be safe from the heat and radiation.

For many, the thought of living underground was terrifying. But as the surface temperature continued to climb, they knew that they had no choice. They packed their bags and made their way to the shelter, hoping against hope that they would be able to survive.

As they descended into the cool, dark depths of the shelter, the people were filled with a sense of relief. They had made it to safety, and now all they could do was wait and pray that the worst was over.

For weeks and months, the people lived in the shelter, waiting for the radiation to dissipate and the surface temperature to cool. It was a difficult and trying time, but they knew that they were lucky to be alive. They had survived the meteor strike, the rioting, and the heat - and now they would do whatever it took to rebuild their shattered town, and create a new future for themselves and their families.

Just as the people of the town were beginning to adapt to their new underground life, something even more extraordinary happened. A few individuals began to develop unique powers - some could move objects with their minds, and others could create flames with their bare hands.

At first, people were wary of these "Radiants," as they came to be called. But as more and more people began to exhibit these incredible abilities, they quickly became a force to be reckoned with.

As the radiants gained power, they began to assert themselves over the rest of the population. They formed their enclaves and began to wield their powers to gain influence and authority. Before long, the radiants had taken over the leadership of the underground shelter, displacing the military and assuming control. Their powers made them virtually invincible, and the other residents were forced to accept their new rulers.

As time passed, more and more people began to manifest their unique powers. Some could levitate objects, others could manipulate energy, and a few could even control the elements themselves.

At first, there was a sense of excitement and wonder among the residents of the underground shelter. People marveled at the incredible abilities that were suddenly appearing among their neighbors and friends. But as more and more people developed their powers, a new sense of unease began to spread. Some radiants started to use their abilities for personal gain, using their powers to hoard resources or gain influence over others.

As the power struggle intensified, it became clear that only the strongest radiants would be able to take control. Those with the most powerful and versatile abilities rose to the top, using their powers to intimidate and dominate others. Eventually, a small group of the most powerful radiants took control of the underground shelter. They established themselves as the ruling council, with the power to make decisions and enforce their will on the rest of the residents.

Those who opposed the council's rule were swiftly dealt with, either through intimidation or outright force. The council's power seemed absolute, and there was little hope for change. Despite this, there were still those who believed that the radiants's powers could be used for good. They worked tirelessly to find a way to challenge the council's rule, hoping to create a more just and equitable society.

Erfolg listened to his grandpa's story with rapt attention, his young mind filled with wonder and amazement at the incredible abilities of the mutants. But as the story went on, he couldn't help but wonder about the world that existed before the meteor strike.

"What were computers and phones?" he asked his grandpa.

His grandpa smiled wistfully, remembering a time long gone. "Ah, those were magical devices," he said. "With just a few taps on a screen, you could talk to people on the other side of the world, look up any information you wanted, or even play games with people you've never met."

Erfolg was fascinated. "And what happened to them?" he asked.

"After the meteors struck, all the electronics were fried by the radiation," his grandpa explained. "We had to start over from scratch, building everything back up from the ground."

Erfolg tried to imagine a world without computers or phones, but it was hard to fathom. He couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to live in a world with such incredible technology.

But as he looked around at the district, he realized that there was something special about this new world too. Here, people were learning to rely on each other, to work together to create something new and beautiful out of the ashes of the old world. Even in the face of suffering, loss, and hatred, people here always found a way to rejoice. And in that way, he realized, they were every bit as magical as the world that had come before.
