Imagine being Chrome>be caveman on an island>your whole world is this tiny ass village>as far as you know, you're the only members of your species in the whole world>Really inquisitive and know there's more to reality than just 'rain falls, fish swim, grass grows, fire hot' but most of what you figure out get dismissed as tricks or witchcraft or useless by the lugheads in charge>one day a pair of bizarre humans you've never seen before walk out of the woods>They claim to be survivors of a long lost precursor civilization that were all petrified by a terrible unknown force>One is clearly the brains and the other the brawn>Everything you spend years figuring out through trial and era, the brains knows off the top of his head and learned as a mere child>He agrees to teach you everything he knows if you help his cause of resurrecting his long lost civilization>Step one involves taking over your village which is a pretty big red flag but you risk it>He was right about everything>He's also actually not a bad guy. He doesn't give a shit about ruling the world, he's in it for the love of the game>It turns out there's other, more advanced villages out there too>you systematically defeat them one by one, as bloodlessly as possible>he teaches your people how to make beasts of iron and how to make them move>he teaches your people how to how to communicate vast distances almost like telepathy through metal and sound and captured lightning>Most of your people just don't get how it works, but you get it. Under his tutelage you learn how to make the fundamental forces of reality dance to your bidding>and through investigating the petrifiication, he even learns the secret to eternal life and bringing back the dead>He becomes the defacto god-emperor of humanity>and as his apprentice, you are kept in the loop about everything>even the time travel research>You basically went from some fisherman's son to one of the greatest wizards of all time
