Preter-Human Chronicles: Prologue

The first person with special abilities was born into the world in the year 2060, from this moment on the world changed forever. People would soon label them as Preters, or preter-humans. Preter, meaning “beyond,” “more than,” and “past,” because these soon-to-come legends are exactly that.

Beyond human. 

These "Preters” were born due to an unknown genetic mutation. Humans evolved and could possess an ability. The first of these Preter-humans was named Diego Scott, after his childhood and teenage years of hiding his powers, he told the world of his abilities. After skepticism, we accepted him; along with the few other young adults that were no longer hiding their powers. 

As years went by, more people spoke out about having different abilities, some with super strength, super speed, telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinesis, teleportation, flying, and precognition. These eight types of Preter-humans seemed to be the only kind.  

Around thirty percent of the globe's nine billion people had evolved and yet, as time has shown it’s hard for people to accept some differences. The world lived divided, all of the different Preters stayed with their own and kept their heads down. 

Except for Diego Scott. 

Diego was the only Preter-human ever to have all eight abilities. Diego wanted to make sure that everyone had equal rights and he wanted people, Preter and human, to stand together. 

So in the year 2104, he ran for president and won. Being the first Preter president he made sure everyone had equal rights throughout his time in the White House. 

Years of peace followed his leadership, but eventually, in the year 2108, Diego was murdered at the age of 87. According to history, he was killed by a dangerous group of preter-humans. Three men with different types of abilities, a telepath, a pyrokinetic, and a telekinetic. 

Due to this act of terrorism, the federal government was forced to exile these three preters. Leaving the other preters scared of the authorities deciding to do that to their type next. Everyone, preter or human, super speed or strength, and so on, stuck to their own kind while discriminating against others. 

Everything changed in the year 2108 when a hero was born. His story starts in 2126 when the Preter-Human Chronicles begin.
