Omniscient

Prologue

Some people want to know more.

Others want to know less.

Then there are those geniuses of the world.

That's who I am. I know everything there is to know. You might have heard of me.

They call me Omniscient.

Well, it's mostly me who calls myself that, but who cares, right? Right. Exactly, now shut up and listen. I am a fourteen-year-old living in the city of San Diego. San Diego was the only city left when I was born in 2298 after the war had ended. This was World War IV and the only reason San Diego survived is because of the FFNL. The FFNL is the "Force Field of New Life" and it can absorb any amount of damage. Well, that's what is prophesied. The war was with the aliens of the planet of Gargoulie. This city is 10 light years away from our blue planet of Earth. Anyway, today is my Quest. This is an event where all fifteen year olds are chosen into these caucuses of some sort. There are seven caucuses and all have a special back-story. The caucus I plan to be placed in is obviously Omniscient. Omniscient represents the smarty-pants as some of you people might call them.
The other six include Magnanimity, Badinage, Vitality, Veracity, Allegiance and Malevolent. Let's start with Magnanimity. Magnanimity is the kindness group. They are always going around and helping the Malevolent who we'll talk about later. If you were looking for the jokesters and pranksters the Badinage caucus would be perfect for you. Vitality, the army caucus, has always hated the Omniscient and they plan to "overthrow" us. Like THAT'S going to happen. Anyway, they believe in bravery and brutality. Why? Don't ask me. Why don't they read books and study 24/7 like us normal kids? I don't know because whenever I ask one of them they put a knife at my throat. No wonder their IQ's are below a 50. Next up we have Veracity. Veracity includes the lawyers because of their nonstop honesty. Just asking, but when have lawyers become honest? Just putting that one out there. Allegiance is the people who go around talking about how we should be more patriotic. I mean who do they think they are! The last group is the Malevolent caucus. They don't really fit in anywhere so they created a seventh caucus for the "evil" of the world. Malevolent kids usually end up becoming evil because of others. People are so STUPID. I mean why don't they let kids choose their place in life? It's not like it would hurt the reputation of San Diego because we are the only ones actually present here on Earth.
Speaking of San Diego, it isn't the most fun and lively place as it was before the war ended. My mother has told me about all of the parties that would go on in the streets. People would run around the streets giggling and bursting with joy. They would run around with streamers of magenta, green, purple, rainbow, you name it. Now the only times we are happy is when our calling says we stay with our family. San Diego is now an overpopulated dump with over 2 million people living inside of this dump. Right now I am located in the Magnanimity caucus. My mom, the nicest person ever, fits in perfectly. Me however, I don't. After I turned 12 my mom said she had enough of me and she never wanted me out in public again. I was shunned by the Magnanimity because I was the daughter of the legendary Helena who led the Magnanimity caucus. I was fine with that because I'm not the people person my mom is.
Ok, Ok. I know you've been dying to know what I have been inventing over the last couple months. It's just so beautiful! I have been inventing a new type of technology where computer and TV screens come alive on regular loose-leaf paper. Other than that I have made the invisible screens where data can float around in the air! I called it the IFDT. IFDT means Imaginary Floaty Data Thingy. Yeah, I'm not very good with names. Wait a second! I just figured out you don't even know my name! My name is Jemma, Jemma Whitney Lotus.
