Cosmic irony

Story Overview: Cosmic Irony

Science can explain everything-except destiny.

Pyro, a brilliant but emotionally detached scientist, has always lived by one truth: the answer cannot be changed. He believes in logic, in facts, in knowledge above all else. But one fateful night, everything he knows is shattered.

Drawn to a mysterious asteroid, Pyro uncovers a relic of immense power-the Artifact of Judgment-an object never meant for him, never meant for this world. The moment he touches it, his fate is sealed.

Soon after, an Angel of Destiny appears before him. "You possess an Artifact that does not belong to you," it declares. "But I cannot take it back. The Artifact has bonded with you. You are now this world's Enforcer of Judgment."

Burdened with an unimaginable role, Pyro realizes the cruel irony of his fate. The cold, logical scientist-the man who never cared for the emotions of others-is now forced to feel them. The Artifact doesn't simply grant him power-it makes him experience the emotions of those he judges, forcing him to confront the very thing he once ignored.

Seeking a way to rid himself of this curse, Pyro turns to his academic rival, Ember, a brilliant nano-biologist and his only intellectual equal. She is his opposite in every way-fiery, extroverted, full of passion and pride. The two have clashed for years, yet now, out of necessity, they are forced to work together. As they repeatedly attempt to separate Pyro from the Artifact, their rivalry evolves into something neither of them expected.

As time passes, Pyro begins to see the world in a new light-not just as equations and logic, but as something more. Humanity is not just about knowledge. It is about hope, understanding, and connection.

And so, life moves forward. Pyro and Ember continue their research, the world turns, and for the first time in a long while... everything seems right.

And everybody is happy.
