From Worthless to Priceless?: Fixing the World That Cast Us Aside
At a young age, Ethan Cole was misdiagnosed and placed in a special education program, severely restricting his education. Despite what others told him, he never gave up on his dream of becoming an engineer. He dedicated himself to overcoming this setback, and just a year before graduation, he successfully transitioned out of special ed. However, his peers still viewed him through the lens of his past, treating him like a child. Unfazed, he stayed quiet and never wavered from his studies. After graduation, he applied to numerous colleges, showcasing his skills and resume. Yet, every institution rejected him due to his special ed background. The world saw him as a statistic rather than an individual with potential. But everything changed when a massive solar flare swept across the Earth, vaporizing those not sheltered indoors and acting as an EMP, causing catastrophic failures in power plants and nuclear facilities, spreading lethal radiation. Ethan survived this apocalyptic event and embarked on a perilous journey to find the Mammoth Strider, a colossal machine known for its primarily hydraulic infrastructure. He believed that this mechanical giant, with its minimal reliance on electricity, could be the key to humanity's survival and restoration. With determination and ingenuity, Ethan set out to rebuild a world shattered by the solar cataclysm, proving that resilience and hope can triumph even in the darkest times.
