2205 A.D.
My great-grandfather was found at sea. no one knew where this child came from, or how he survived. The young man didn't know English, or any other language for that matter. It was just him on a raft by himself, with over $1,000,000 in rare gems. This created a massive stir around the world. The child's age was estimated to be about 5 yrs old. This child was sent to an orphanage where an old oil tycoon adopted him. The old man named the boy Adrian Neptune.
2210 A.D.
Adrian Neptune was a true genius for his age. Adrian had learned 5 languages, and had an I.Q. of 175 by the age of 10. Adrian's adopted father died in his sleep after a business meeting. the world went insane and tried to find a caretaker for young Adrian. Emotionally it didn't hurt the child much as Adrian had no memories of any life before the raft. The only one Adrian could consider family was an old man who adopted him as the old man needed a successor and Adrian was a person that could be taught from scratch. Adrian was a very mature young man. no one ever referred to him or called him a boy after they met him. it was always young man. This young man had a domineering aura, and a commanding look even at such a young age.
2211 A.D.
it was decided that the company would be ran by a board of directors till Adrian was 18. 1 years after the death of his adopted father on his 11th birthday one of Adrian's tutors took over the custodianship of the young man.
2215 A.D.
at the age of 15 Adrian took the world by storm. He invested $300 billion dollars into 2 new businesses. $150 to deep sea mining operations, and $150 billion into fishing.
2217 A.D.
at 17 Adrian's 2 newest businesses started to make a massive profit for someone at his age. pulling in $250 billion in profit in this year alone.
2218 A.D.
at 18 Adrian gifted his old tutor with $50 billion as a parting gift. Adrian also took control of his oil company and found how badly it was handled. the sheer amount of environmental damage Adrian had to pay fines for, and the sheer amount of fraud and overpriced materials on the books really set him off.
2219 A.D.
Adrian celebrated his 19th birthday by getting married to a young woman from a Japanese family who owned 30% of the shares of the oil company. Adrian had also bought another 15% of the share on the market over the last year. this put Adrian at a total of 85% of the total shares for the oil company. Adrian then fired the board of directors and hired directors from his new wife's family.
2222 A.D
at 22 Adrian had his first children. Twins, one was called Douglas the other Frank. Adrian also started a small fleet of combat capable ships and a security company to protect his assets as the world started to erupt in small wars. piracy was also on the rise.
2225 A.D.
at 25 Adrian became the richest man in the world. Douglas and Frank were 3. the volcano which made Hawaii erupted creating a new island. thousands died.
2230 A.D.
at the age of 30 Adrian had a daughter. Adrian's wife named the child Adrienne.
at the age of 8 Douglas and Frank were considered to be geniuses like their father before them. Douglas had a photographic memory and was learning 3 separate martial arts. he had a great mind for strategy and a passion for any kind of fighting arts. Frank was obsessed with anything that flies. he already had a small pilots license for his personal mini-chopper and could repair just about any air vehicle.
2238 A.D.
At 38 Adrian has his last child, a son named Robert. His wife dies in childbirth.
at the age of 8 Adrienne had shown she was a genius as well. her talents lay in numbers and organization. she was probably going to be the one to inherit and run the next generation of the company.
at the age of 16 Douglas graduated top of his class and earned a Military Science degree. Frank graduated with an Aerospace engineering degree, also at the top of his class.
2240 A.D.
Robert turns 2 and is already proving to be smarter than any of the other children by that age. Starts telling people to call him Bob as its shorter and easier to say. gets private tutors.
Adrienne is 10 and is Adrian's secretary now. where one goes, the other one follows.
at the age of 18 both Douglas and Frank join the U.S.A. military as it is the most advanced. Douglas joined the navy Seals, while Frank joined the Air Force.
2244 A.D.
Bob has tested out of high school at the age of 6. his I.Q. is 290. comparable with the highest I.Q. that anyone has had. the only other person who came close had an I.Q. between 250 and 300.
WW3 starts.
2250 A.D.
Adrian is 50 years old and has a stroke. he survives, but is partially impaired.
Bob is 10 and has created an easy to use basic A.I. program that nets trillions in profit the first year alone.
Adrienne is 20 and takes over primary control over the company.
Douglas and Frank are 28. they have each made names for themselves in service to the U.S. Frank gets injured in a plane crash and turns to military R&D. Douglas also requests a post out of combat and gets posted to a training camp where he trains new generations of soldiers.
2252 A.D.
Bob is 12 and graduates with 3 college degrees. he now has a degree in geology, software architecture, and Robotic engineering.
2255 A.D.
Bob is now 15 and has started his own R&D organization. the technology he developed helped change the face of the world.
Douglas gets married. Changes last name to Viking. Has a Son.
2256 A.D.
Frank Gets married. changes last name to Skye. Has a daughter.
2257 A.D.
Douglas has twins. 1 girl and 1 boy.
Frank has another girl.
2260 A.D.
after 16 years of death WW3 ends. half the world's population has died from a massive biological agent which was released and killed off large swaths of the population. every person who was infected suffered greatly with a 80% death rate.
Adrian takes his last breath on his 60th birthday after his sons tell him they are done in the military and are coming home. he dies 2 hours after they get home. the world mourns the death of the richest man.
Bob is now 20 years old. he is a true genius in every sense of the word. he has been developing new technologies, and has started his own R&D company. also buys his own island chain with a total land area of 6,000 square miles. the largest island being 2000 sq miles by itself. and the smallest being a few hundred feet.
Adrienne runs the largest company in the world. it has more power and influence than any single country. her company alone makes more money than the top 3 richest countries put together.
at the age of 38, Douglas has retired as an admiral from the Navy and starts development and training of a private Navy to escort the company's ships. Frank has become a general and also retires from his Aerospace R&D. he develops and expands an air force just because he likes flying.
Douglas has another daughter, wife dies in childbirth.
Frank has triplets, 2 boys and 1 girl. wife survives with complications.
2262 A.D
at the age of 22 Bob releases information on his newest project. it is a building construction drone. it operates like a beehive. there are worker drones, materials drones, a queen drone, a hopper drone, a mining drone, a warrior drone and an emperor drone. the warrior drone and the emperor drone information are not released to the world and are kept a tightly guarded secret. you upload directions to the queen drone, and the queen drone gives directions to the other drones. the worker drones build. the material drones are nothing but portable material transportation. a hopper drone is where the material drones get their resources from, a material storage and a minor refinery. the mining drone if directed will harvest resources and deliver them to the hopper drone. the warrior drone is obviously a fighting unit. these units were not built unless an outside source damaged the drones on a repeated basis. then they will only counterattack, but they are very dangerous and deadly. the emperor drone will coordinate information between multiple queens working on the same or different projects so. to prove these creation work he pays the U.N. $5 trillion dollars and starts construction of a wall around this island chain. this wall is 10' thick and is designed to rise 20' above the ocean's surface. he would pay any green organization $5 billion if approved of by the U.N. this wall the closest part it comes to the islands is 4 miles. it will be a giant circular wall.
Adrienne is now 32. she gets married. devotes 70% of the company's resources to her brothers project to help keep people employed. the massive amounts of materials are no longer being bought like they were during war-time so there wasn't really a better use for them. still earning $1 quadrillion a year in profit.
Franks wife has died.
Bob gets married to a Japanese woman. her family was once samurais, and still train in their ancestral martial arts. she is a gorgeous woman, and very athletic.
2265 A.D.
the wall around the island is done. it is a truly massive feat of engineering.
Bob is 25 now, and trades the building drone tech except the warrior drone and emperor drone to the U.N. in exchange for the sovereign rights to anything within his wall. also granted the territorial waters using his wall as the basis from which it starts. 12 or so nautical miles is considered his territorial waters. He then puts forward a plan to build a giant dome over his new territory. he once again gives the U.N. a bunch of money, except this time he gives them $10 trillion.
Bob has his first child, a son.
Frank and Douglas are 43. They have the most advanced Navy and Air Force now. the annual budget being $250 trillion a year for each of them they could afford to. they put forth a request to the U.N. to become their private peacekeeping force. will be stationed out of the island territory. start building massive docks, airfields, and large buildings on outside of wall at each of the 3 entrances.
2266 A.D.
Bob is 26, construction starts on his dome. releases information on new power generation sources for use in the ocean. Filters polluted/salt water, produces power, and sorts out metallic ores and salts. also releases a scanning system that lets one see what is underground for up to 1 mile. tells you basic properties of materials, using a magnetic resonance.
Franks and Douglas are approved on a test basis for a 5 year period. a new U.N. position is created for Overseers that watch the fleet actions.
2268 A.D.
Adrienne is 38, divorces husband.
all construction on docks, airfields, and outside buildings on wall are completed.
Frank and Douglas military have proved their military genius by taking out all leadership of a hostile country threatening nuclear war. minimal casualties for allies, massive casualties for enemies. 18 - 1 kill ratio. Very little collateral damage. one of the Overseers gets assigned as the temporary government leader.
Bob has a son.
2271 A.D.
The U.N. approves the military force on a semi-permanent basis. U.N. starts using the military to guard its new bases, and its bases it has developed over the years. U.N. Overseers are now trained on those fleets.
Bob is 31 and has twins. 1 boy and 1 girl.
2280 A.D.
the dome is complete. the world is in wonder and is watching the largest manmade object being finished.
Bob is now 40. retires from public view. begins massive constructions on inside of dome. finishes establishing requirements for self sufficiency with a population of up to 1 billion people.
Frank and Douglas at the age of 58 pass the leadership of their military over to their best children. Bob, Frank, and Douglas announce the forming of 3 clans and design Coats of arms, colors, private flags, and uniforms.

Adrienne launches satellites for the company. 2 geostationary, and 3 others. cost $5 trillion. total income per year profit is $1.5 trillion. all company assets are connected via satellite now. also personal internet network, can connect to WWW.
2300 A.D.
Frank and Douglas die at the age of 68. they die within minutes of each other.
Adrienne is now 60. she launches a new satellite system. new satellites are protected from all known hazards. 12 new satellites are now orbiting that are owned by the company. 3 geostationary and 9 that orbit. the 5 old satellites are sold off.
Australia starts plans to build a city on the moon. the other nations start setting up weapons and stations around the earth.
Bob is 50. He goes to the U.S. to visit was a young genius there who had come up with a new power source. it would revolutionize the world. at this time the world was at each other's necks. every country wanted energy, the sheer amount of people was truly astounding. tells family that the whole island within the walls would act as a faraday cage and is now sealed off completely from all outside sources. it is a self sustained eco system. creates an organization to build and house a zoo of every animal obtainable in a natural habitat for it.
2302 A.D.
U.S.A., China, and Russia have revealed new weapons systems. U.S.A. has created a warrior drone army based off my construction drones. China has unleashed flying cube lasers. Russia has done genetic engineering and reveals super soldiers and animals that have been genetically modified.
at 52 Bob returns to Neptune's Island and tells all surviving family members to move all assets employees and family to the dome. there is room for up to 500,000 people. he tells them to start stockpiling all resources, no matter what it may be. if in the next few years you buy at least 1 of something, buy 10,000. there is plenty of storage space inside the island dome. he also begins plans to purchase or obtain all the books, games, media, and anything of entertainment made in the last 50 years. he starts hiring massive amounts of people, of all occupations or even no occupation. only requirement is you have to obey the rules of Neptune island, and you have to move to Neptune island.
the world goes insane trying to figure out what Bob is planning now.
2305 A.D.
the rumors of the massive storage complex which is supposed to have the wall extend down underground from the base of the wall an additional 3 miles. at that depth is a massive storage complex which encompasses the whole area underneath Neptune's Island. obviously no one believed the rumors and when asked, all Bob would say is that he is in the process of making more room for storage under the island. as for the massive storage complex already there, for it to exist under the island do you know how much material would be required? and yet what people didn't know was that it was true.
he had condensed the material using a gravitational compressor forming a thick wall, harder than any known stone. he laid metal halfway through in the middle of the wall to create a faraday cage construct. the gravitational device amplified gravity over a small area, or it reduced gravity in a small area. he started to release information on systems which use gravity as a propulsion system. he creates a special failsafe that as soon as you tamper with the inner workings of a gravitational unit it would destroy itself. traded 20,000 units to the Australians for their enhanced drone building and space tech. traded 15,000 units China for their laser system technology. Traded 35,000 to Russia for all information on their genetic modification programs. Traded 25,000 units to U.S.A. for their drone army technology. obviously I didn't get their latest and greatest stuff, just the stuff from 2 years ago when they released and announced it to the world. Bob was happy though.
Bob is 55 and goes back to the U.S.A. there are now over 300,000 people living at Neptune island. they are still hiring people from around the world, and are still trying to obtain pretty much some of everything made in the last 50 or so years.
2310 A.D.
WW4 starts
Bob is 60 calls the island with a message telling everyone to get inside the dome within 1 month. in 1 months time they will test a new power system that will change the world, and hopefully it works as it is supposed to, and not as Bob fears. But Bob cannot stop it, for if it is true it would be worth any price.
the new energy system is announced to the world with a test date in 1 week. world waits with baited breath. China and Russia arm weapons and prepare to attack the world, for if it is true, they will lose their power. The U.S.A. activates all their defenses and hunkers down. if their test is successful they will have an unlimited energy source. Australia moves as many people as it can from their continent to the moon. there are now 1 million people living on the moon.
the dome closes all access 24 hours before the test time. Bob says he will try to be back, and if he does not make it, then his son David will be in charge of the Family.
2311 A.D. or 0 A.E.P. (After Energy Pulse)
on January 1st, new years day, they started the test. the world waited with baited breath. then the world, changed. it acted as if a giant emp blast hit the world. all items that used power, stopped. it was not an emp, but it had the same effect on any unshielded piece of equipment. anything that was near a radiation source outside of a faraday cage, or something similar, changed. these radiation sources all released a pulse of energy. anything close to it, changed. as to what extent, no one knew at the time. all those sources of radiation changed to a new energy. a new kind of power. the world erupted in chaos. China and Russia attacked the U.S.A. with everything they could. they launched their nuclear missiles, except they were no longer nukes. they no longer destroyed, they changed. the U.S. launched everything they could in retaliation. the skies and space around the world erupted in chaos as satellite weapons systems activated. Russia launched massive evolutionary viruses at every nation that had slighted it in the last 50 years. China unleashed its hordes of laser cubes, and blanketed the sky like swarms of locusts. The U.S. sent targets to their drone armies. no matter what got in the way, they would try to accomplish their objective.
5 A.E.P.
David took control of the family, he made everyone wait till the sensors on the outside of this dome stopped fluctuating. they created devices which could detect this new energy that permeated the world. they found out using their technology with the gravity compression system they can form gems out of this insubstantial energy. these gems could then be used like a battery. using these devices would actually create a null field where none of this energy existed around the device. these devices were created and put all around the island creating a field of no energy that stretched for 2 miles in every direction from the dome. they started to send sensors and probes to locations around the world.
10 A.E.P.
finally reconnected with the satellite system. the world has changed. it no longer looks like earth. there are new landmasses and lakes, new rivers and mountains. there even appears to be no Antarctica anymore. there is a large continental landmass but it looks tropical. not the subzero climate you would expect. we finally found a city of survivors. we also found they were no longer human. they had turned into orcs, goblins, trolls, etc. no one could believe it at first, but upon dissection of some of the corpses and looking at the genetic markers, they were once human. any of their offspring would lose the genetic markers of being human, but they could still breed with humans. this was not a friendly city so the drones quickly left. reason we knew it wasn't friendly, was because we saw them killing and eating each other, let alone what looked like feral or barely surviving humans. and they attacked the drones upon sight.
11 A.E.P.
found a settlement of humans. approached with a speaker drone and talked in English. their language had already started to change, but at least we could understand these humans unlike those groups of non-humans. shouldn't really think of them as non-human but we didn't know what to call anything yet.
at this point we saw magic being used. upon conversing with the "wizard" who appeared in a flash of lightning, or the "sorcerer" who formed a window from nothing in mid air near me where he could converse with the drone.
at this point we learned that the people who survived had abilities which could be termed as magic. there were also people who called themselves body cultivators, and they are humans who were in a emp safe area. the energy never changed them, so it works differently. the energy gets absorbed into the flesh and bones, and creates a "sea of energy". a mage is part of the energy around them and uses the surrounding energy to form an attack. a cultivator is a weapon themselves.
13 A.E.P.
at this time we have heard stories of demonic beasts, giant golems, mythological creatures, and fantasy beings. there were beings from a normal fantasy game such as orcs, trolls, goblins, mer-people, elves, dwarves, beast-races. there were demonic beasts from a xianxia novel that could cultivate with energy cores. we had groups that swore some of those drone armies came to life and there are now automata/clockwork/robot cities now that have gained a sense of self. mannequin cities, waxwork cities, even rumors the Lego city came to life. mythological and religious creatures such as sphinx, unicorn, Pegasus, demons, angels, all were seen as well. there was a story about an aircraft carrier that mutated. the ship gained sentience. somehow it took over the people that ran it, and it is now out on the seas cannibalizing other ships and ocean creatures. it has become a demonic beast. Mt. St. Helens in Washington, U.S.A. even became alive and is now a walking giant golem that calls itself St Helen. it is also called a demonic beast. then any komodo dragon in the world? became real dragons. iguanas? dragons. most lizards became what would be called a drake, no true sentience, but can manipulate an element or two. anything that changed into a dragon? scary as hell. smart as most humans, greedy as hell for anything shiny. as has been mentioned the world has changed.
we found out that all radiation became this new energy. all sources of plutonium, uranium, whatever, if it was radioactive and not protected by an emp safe area, it became a mana gem or a mana stone. the process of this change caused nuclear powered objects to explode or mutate.
at this time we are doing experiments on the best ways to cultivate, it's like they are qi refiners or something form a xianxia. it is really cool. as for anything involving the "magic" of this new world, we record it. we have no magic users of our own, but we have started developing magic tools. basically anything that used electricity before, can be changed over to use mana. they have also by this point to started calling this new energy, mana.
18 A.E.P.
have now obtained new maps of the world. sending out small explorer teams to investigate this new world.
118 A.E.P.
David has just turned 18 years old, and could now choose a career path. ever since he was born he could sense the mana in the world around him. he could feel the lack of it inside the dome, and the sources in the objects around him. he could even tell what cultivation someone is at. He is currently the youngest to ever try the test to earn the right to leave this dome.
