In a world unraveling under the weight of war, famine, and collapsing birth rates, the government made a desperate gamble: The Children's Incentive Act. A promise of money and medical care in exchange for new life. It was hope wrapped in policy - until the explosion changed everything.
A mysterious atmospheric surge sweeps across the planet, leaving no destruction in its wake-only transformation-subtle at first, then extraordinary. Children born after the blast exhibit impossible abilities: voices that echo like sirens, wounds that vanish in seconds, and eyes that shimmer like stardust. The world calls it the Compound Shift. The government calls it an anomaly.
Buried in the fine print of the Incentive Act is a clause no one saw coming - a loophole granting the state full custody of any child who deviates from normal development. Under the banner of national security, the Kestramore Experimentation Trials (K.E.T.) are born. Children are taken, studied, and weaponized. Some come back altered. Some never return.
Now, a new generation rises - genetically altered, hunted, and haunted. As fear spreads and resistance brews in the shadows, one truth becomes undeniable: the world has changed. These children are no longer just anomalies.
They are the beginning of something new.
