Every one hundred or so years a reader dies. A reader is a human who has a unique set of magical abilities and intuitions that are used to interpret and understand every situation or object they come into contact with. Since the beginning of time, only one reader has lived at once. Towards the end of his/her legacy the reader chooses an appropriate student to replace him/her as the next reader. The reader contains extra-ordinary powers of the mind. He/she who obtains the abilities from the previous reader can:
1. Calculate odds of the future from information they've been given. The reader calculates these odds to a very precise and accurate degree, allowing them to read the future, without actually physically seeing it. (clairvoyance)
2. Perform psychometry (the ability to perceive and understand the history of an object upon touching it).
3. Read thoughts
4. Track people in their mind and create maps of different environments. (Psychic Radar)
5. Block others from using their mind powers (telepathy, telekenisis, etc.)
6. Read environments (weather, how it will be effected, natural disasters, etc.)
7. Read and speak all languages of other species
On earth there are thousands of dangerous species, whose power and size are far above those of humans. The most intelligent of these species are Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, and giants. Each species has their own magical abilities, except for humans who's only magical member is the reader. The creatures have begun to take advantage of humans for their lack of magic, and nobody is certain of the reader's identity. Many believe him to be a myth conjured to provide people with hope. The reader does not reveal himself because his/her abilities don't match the physical strength of other species. However, it is still the reader's responsibility to protect the human race from the threatening creatures by inventing new technology, and helping them to progress through advancing their intelligence. Other creatures become jealous and opposed to the humans' intelligence and technologies that destroy the environments they live in, resulting in many conflicts.
The reader faces the challenge of establishing an all peaceful and energy efficient earth. He attempts to invent a system of synergy between the species, one that fulfills all needs and is opposed by none. To do this, the reader must completely devote himself to the task, but also expose himself to enough experiences that will help in his formulation of a plan; this means interacting with other species and gaining wisdom through their culture. The reader must research previous reader's plans, this could take an extended period of time. During these years the reader does age, but much slower than other humans; this means that although his life is extended, he only gets so many attempts in making the world better before he has to admit that he is not the solution. If a reader admits this, he must find a candidate for the next to hold the power, or the powers will become extinct when he/she dies.
