Ryder was just like any other 16-year-old high school student. He had his daily routine of waking up early, attending school, and then returning home to enjoy his free time. This was a typical day in his life, or so he thought. It was the year 2050, and Earth was different from what Ryder had known before. The advancements in technology and science had created a world that was more efficient and connected than ever before. But little did he know that this day would be anything but normal.

Ryder felt a sense of panic building up inside him, and he knew that he needed to get home as soon as possible.
He picked up his pace and started running, hoping to make it home before anything else happened. However, he soon realized that the situation was much worse than he thought.

The next thing he knew, he was engulfed in a blinding light, and everything went black
