      In the year 2014 a small rock from an unknown source impacts into an urban backyard, the owner of the property discovers something that revolutionizes everything we know, his inventions become a reality from transport, jobs, environment, and more, human kind had been dreaming about it for generations, it is a year of discovery that will change humanity forever.

      Take a journey with a man who went from been an everyday factory worker to the number one innovator and hailed by most as a god both on Earth and Earths newly found sister planet Koru .

      Chapter One-In the beginning

      Looking out over the empire I have created, I am now dubbed king of a planet far from Earth, it is rich with life free from pollution, war, starvation and suffering! I am a god in the eyes of my people, but I am not immortal for I am human the same as everyone else I am sick I am dying I am alone in my fight to survive, for there is no cure for the virus that has invaded my body, the same as human kind invaded this planet and embedded ourselves into its atmosphere and terrain, it is the year 2025.

      I close my eyes and I think back on where I came from and who I was and how it all came to be.

      I remember standing in my backyard smoking some marijuana, taking a puff I look up into the darkness of the night sky I noticed an unusually bright star, after a few more puff’s I look up again & noticed the light getting brighter? Not only brighter but bigger?

      The light from the star changes from white to an orangey red then as I butt out what I am puffing on the object looks like it’s on fire, the light emanating from its tail is getting longer by the second.

      I pull my phone out and start recording video, a few seconds later ‘Boom!’ everything goes dark I feel a shock wave hit me and launches me into the air then I black out, a ringing sound in my ears wakes me from my black out, sitting up I look around to find myself in the neighbors back yard What the hell? did I trip over backwards? While smoking? Standing up I look into my back yard to see a small crater no bigger than a small car.

      Still under the influence of the drug I am still trying to determine if what just happened was real or not, after jumping the fence I walk over to the crater and as I near it I see an orange glow that slowly resides as I get closer to it. The object inside the crater looks like a rock I can see part of it protruding through the dirt, the heat from it, and the light has now totally gone so with curiosity I start to poke it with a stick, it’s hard like a stone and has a strange smell that I have never experienced before, Where’s my phone?

      Looking around I noticed the street lights are all off including the lights inside my house, but to my astonishment none of the windows are broken and neither are the neighbors? I run inside to check on all my family, everyone is still asleep, as I walk past the kitchen I grab my sons watch that he had been given for his birthday and it is a watch with arms not digital, flipping it over the time reads 4.15am! Something’s wrong here because I checked the time before I went outside? And it was around 9pm? I run outside to grab a tarpaulin from the shed to cover the crater because I know I am not the only one that has seen this, feeling tired I head to bed and wonder about the strange event that has just taken place.

      Morning your late for work says my wife, I’m calling in sick today I reply o.k. bye she says waving, Jumping out bed I open the curtains and see the tarpaulin in my back yard So it did happen! I better make me a coffee looking out the kitchen window I see the tarpaulin pitched in the air like a tent with one pole underneath it?

      Lifting up the tarp I see a small stone the size of a peanut holding it up? It looks like it broke off the big one that is embedded in the ground, not only that, there is nothing else I could see? I decide to pull the tarp towards me and see the peanut size stone move with it? Grabbing one corner I lift the tarp off it and stare at the peanut stone just hovering in mid-air! I used the same stick I poked the stone with last night and used it to wave it on top and underneath the peanut stone like a magician showing the audience there are no strings.

      Totally stunned by what I am seeing my first thought is This is epic! Still curious with what is before me I push the peanut stone a little bit with the stick not hard not soft but just enough to punt it, it starts to move in the direction I punted it in but doesn’t fall to the ground or slow down? Instead its speed is constant, hitting the wooden fence it rebounds and heads towards me at the same rate of speed? Second thoughts are This is awesome! What is it? Where did it come from? Is it lethal? I grab a pair of thick garden gloves and grab the peanut stone with one hand.

      I can move it in any direction except down? No matter how much I try to pull it to the ground it just won’t move, trying to pull it up in the air doesn’t work seem to work either, it seems to be levitating on its own? I am no scientist but the only thing I can think of that can do this on Earth is a magnet or two
