In the year 2062, the 'stars' crashed into the Earth, mercilessly killing billions  - the world was never the same again...
From that day onwards,  people gained special abilities - from super strength to transformation, the possibilities were endless.

 But with potential comes power, and with power comes greed. The war of ashes commenced and people began to group together for safety, for strength, for hope. And the five nations were born. To symbolise peace between the nations, they were named after five colours from the spectrum; blue, red, yellow, green and purple. To prevent newer generations from misusing their abilities, an education system was agreed amongst the nations in the form of national schools for mediocre students and 3 international schools for the elite ability users from each nation. 

Our story follows Kian, a seemingly ability-less boy born during the war of ashes. He has finally reached the age where he must take the exam to decide whether he's mediocre or an elite. With no ability, will he pass?
