Dr. Elias Voss was a name spoken in both awe and dread. Once celebrated as the brightest mind of his generation, he crossed the line between genius and madness, filling secret labs with inventions that could save or doom the world. For decades, he justified every boundary crossed in the name of knowledge.
At 67, Elias was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Refusing to accept his fate, he experimented on himself—nanites, gene editing, cybernetics—each attempt only delaying the inevitable. Isolated and hunted by Gangsters, FBI alike, Elias became a fugitive, feared for what he might do in desperation.
His final act was his boldest: a machine to erase the line between life and death. As his pursuers stormed his lab and chaos erupted, Elias, weakened and dying, tried to activate his device. But his body failed him. As fire and ruin closed in, he whispered, "Give me another chance. Let me do it right this time."
The explosion erased him from the world. But somewhere, his wish was heard—and a new story was set in motion.
