Arther was a normal college student who studied and worked very hard to get into college. He was orphaned at a very young age when his parents died in a car accident. He had some relatives but they didn't take him with them as he had no money and he would be a burden on them.
With no suitable relatives he was thrown into the social system of the society. Jumping from one foster home to another. For half of his life he struggled for a sense of belonging somewhere.
He worked part time. He worked hard to save enough money to enter college. He was a very bright and hard working student which helped him get a scholarship and study under excellent professors and work with them his interest and the area of expertise was biotechnology in which he studied manipulation of DNA in different Species. altering, combining, modifying and removing different sections of DNA to give its specific characteristics to the subject.
Arther was not like any other college student. His memory and knowledge far exceed that of his professors. He was hard working and passionate about his work.
One day while working in the laboratory Arthur's head started to feel heavy. He suddenly started to feel dizzy and his nose started to bleed. Arther lost his consciousness and fell on the floor and began to have seizures. His fellow students rushed towards him to help him, the professor called 911 and he was taken to the hospital.
With no registered guardian, Arthur was alone in the hospital. When he woke up his head was hurting and his whole body was in pain.

The doctor came and told him to rest for the night and meet him in the morning.
The doctor prescribed some sleeping pills and some painkillers to reduce the pain and help him sleep.
The next morning the doctor showed Arthur his CIT and MRI scan. The doctor told him that the seizure from yesterday was caused by a tumor which is formed in the spinal cord which in terms is affecting the functioning of the brain.
Due to the position of the tumor it is inoperable.
The doctor told him about the effect of the tumor on his body. How his body functions will be affected, as the tumor progresses he will lose his ability to move his hands and legs, in the later stage he will lose his ability to speak and that his total life expectancy is around 6 to 7 months. Which can be prolonged for 1 or 2 months more on medication and radiation therapy.
Arthur was in a state of shock, wondering how this could happen so suddenly. He was healthy just the day before yesterday and now he only has 6 to 7 months to live.
He worked so hard for all his life so that he could make a proper living and now when finally his dream was about to come true his whole world was flipped upside down by this news.
Arthur said no to the treatment and left the hospital absent-minded. He was walking on the road head down and babbling 'how is this happening', 'why it is happening to me', 'what did I do wrong', 'finally after struggling for so long I was happy in my life', 'why' 'why'.
A few times he bumped into people, block cars while crossing the road, but he didn't stop walking. He did not want to his dorm. He just kept walking until the sun went down. He stopped when finally his legs gave out.
Finally he came to his senses and looked around, he was now far away from the city in the countryside. Nearby was a bus stop where he sat quietly. Some buses passed by, some people got in, some got out but he sat there thinking. What to do now.
Time flew so fast it was midnight and he could hear the voices of nearby animals.
In that moment his thoughts focused on the animals in this vast world and their different characters.
A number of ideas come into his mind.
He decided not to give up on his life. He will do anything possible to live. He will acquire the power of nature for himself. Even if it is against the natural Order.
