Opening scene

You walk several blocks through the city center as dusk bleeds into night, your thoughts circling the same question: what now? They expelled you from the university for failing to submit your enrollment papers on time. That’s the official reason. They have no idea what you’re capable of. No idea what you discovered weeks ago—the night you tried to perform a cheap magic trick and accidentally blew a pen into a thousand glittering fragments in your hands. Something changed after that. Now, whenever you touch an ordinary object, you can feel it—a strange current coiling in your palms, waiting to be shaped. You learned you could push that energy outward, sink it into something mundane, and rewrite it. Not transform it into something else, but add to it. Imbue it. Grant it a new property the world insists it should not have. That’s what you’ve been doing for the past three weeks instead of filing paperwork. Experimenting. A kitchen knife that ignited whatever it touched. A pair of sneakers that let you leap effortlessly to the roof of a building. Glasses that granted perfect night vision. Trial. Error. Refinement. You also learned the rules. Only one object can be imbued at a time. The moment you charge a new one, the previous item loses its property instantly, reverting to what it always was. And every imbuement lasts exactly twenty-four hours—no more. No less. Unless the object remains in your possession. Then the duration stretches. Not indefinitely, but longer. The energy lingers, as if reluctant to leave you. The university thinks you were irresponsible. The truth is… why would you study to become an engineer when you could be using these incredible powers for your own benefit? The possibilities are endless—you just need to find somewhere to spend the night and start thinking about your next steps. While you were walking to the bank to withdraw what little remained of your university scholarship money, you began to notice strange movements outside. You put on your glasses and imbued them with a property you had already tested before: the ability to see what people were thinking as speech bubbles reflected in the lenses. As you suspected, they were about to start the bank robbery. You instinctively took a step back—and bumped into something. When you turned around, you recognized her from the images on television: the Russian. She was a small woman with short black hair framing her pale, angelic face, smoking a cigar. She looked at you with contempt as she blew a cloud of smoke into your face, making you cough. Then you began to feel a tingling at the back of your neck. The Russian was inside your head. Through your glasses, you could see her internal confusion as she discovered your thoughts. She grabbed your shirt aggressively and brought her bright red eyes close to your face. “Who the hell are you?” she said in her Russian accent.
