Jack awakens to find himself in a sterile, white room, surrounded by advanced medical equipment. Standing over him is Dr Elara Quinn, a scientist who has been secretly working on a project to harness the latent abilities within certain individuals—abilities that could turn the tide against the mystical creatures.

"You're awake," Dr. Quinn says, relief evident in her voice. "The device you activated was a prototype we've been working on. It has unlocked something within you, Jack. You have the potential to be much more than you ever imagined."

Confused and disoriented, Jack listens as Dr. Quinn explains that the Great Cataclysm didn't just bring monsters into the world; it also awakened dormant genetic traits in some humans, granting them extraordinary abilities. The device Jack found was designed to trigger these traits.

"You have the power to manipulate and transform technology," Dr. Quinn continues. "With training, you can learn to control and use it to protect yourself and others." The rest of the friends also touch the device and discover their power.

Despite his scepticism, Jack agrees to undergo training. Over the next few weeks, he begins to discover the extent of his newfound abilities. He can transform everyday objects into technologically advanced weapons and tools. With just a touch, he turns a simple torch into a laser sabre by attaching a gamma rays radiating lens. He can control anything involving tech, giving him a unique edge in the fight for survival. He is now fond of his newfound ability but as they say, everything comes with a price. So does Jack's power.
