Griffin is a normal 15 year old boy, not too strong, not too weak, has friends, plays video games, watches anime, watches shows just like anyone else. There is 2 traits that make Griffin different from everyone else, his intelligence, as well as his care for others. Though he never understood how smart he truly is, he always underestimated himself. He is also a very selfless person, he will his life on the line for people he barely knows, he values others lives very highly.
One day as Griffin was walking to school early in the morning and tired, he encounters someone who is sitting on a bench that looks very strange. Weird posture, eyes, and everything is out of the ordinary with him. He tries to get a closer look to him, he looks more like a zombie than anything but as he gets close, the man runs at him. Griffin tries to run, but can't because of the man's out of this world speed. After Griffin is caught, he stays unconscious for a little, but later wakes up. He wakes up on the floor of somewhere that he's never seen before, it makes him feel very uncomfortable, everything is black and white, nothing is like the normal world. He looks at the people around him, they are just like the man that he saw on his way to school they all look like zombies. He's confused, he's worried. He begins to think of his parents, and his other family and everything about the old world that he was in, he is terrified. He tries to think of ways to get out of this place, but nothing comes to mind since there is nothing around him to help. The man that he saw on his way to school approached him, this time he wasn't running, this time he wasn't trying to catch him. "Follow me" the mysterious man says. Griffin follows him since there is nothing else that he can do. After a while they stop walking together and are finally at the destination. "I've chosen you to become the one who saves us" "Us?" Griffin says confused. "Yes, us, we all look this way for a reason, there is a curse that has been imposed on all of us". It's really hard to understand what he's saying since he has a very hard time speaking, almost every word isn't pronounced correctly. "What does that have to do with me?? why am I here??" Griffin says angrily. "You are the only one that can do it, you may not know anything about us now, but that's okay." "How am I supposed to do it when I couldn't out run you earlier when you were chasing me?" Griffin says. "You don't know it yet, but you have massive potential to become much stronger than anyone here." A few seconds later Griffin sees a massive amount of some substance that drips off of him, not knowing what it is he asks "What is this?" Griffin asks with a confused face. "I don't even know myself" the man says. A voice pops in his head "My name is Bender, ask any question you would like, you will get a answer." Griffin thinks this is a dream, there is no way that this is happening, he was just sucked into another world because of someone who looks like a zombie, has something that has never been seen before, and now the answer to any question. "What is this blue thing around me? What does it mean, what does it do?" Griffin asks. "The blue thing around you is a representation of your intelligence, as you can see it is very big and takes up most of the room." intelligence is the way people get stronger in this world? are people really that dumb in this world that this is the first time they've seen the intelligence substance? "Also I never got your name" Griffin says to the man "What is a name?" the man says. "Wow, it's even worse than I thought it was" Griffin says to himself. "Okay then, who is the person that has imposed this curse on you to make you look like that?" Griffin asks. "The man that has done this is far away from here, it would take 3 days of walking, and he is incredibly strong"
