- Parti 1
The people of Timefields, Alaska were once known for their generosity and humility-at least, that's the story we were raised on. Our parents spoke of a turning point, when something called the virtue gene reshaped humanity forever. It spread across the globe, transforming ordinary people into something extraordinary. But not everyone changed. And those who didn't... they grew fearful. Fearful of what they couldn't understand, of what no longer felt human to them. In 1986 they launched a plan to erase the virtue gene from existence. They believed they succeeded.
But they were wrong.

The curse doomed the 20th generation of these guardians to die early and mysteriously, no matter how strong or special they were. Now, their children-the 21st generation-are left to deal with the heavy burden of their parents' past.Completa

All of this is thanks to Mr. Derek Evan Halk who has studied many things. Specializing in Mechanics, technology and biology Derek had it all until he suddenly disappeared with his family.
