Mechanical Master (wip)

Evernear is a world, very similar to Earth 2020 politically and technology wise.
Geographically, though there are two continents that don't exist on earth, one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and another in the Pacific Ocean. The planet is a bit larger than Earth by about a quarter.
the two continents are vastly unexplored and contain plants and animals that exist nowhere else in the world and have developed/mutated in many ways, making exploring more than 50 miles in extremely dangerous. so there are only costal towns and villages.

The current year in Evernear is 2030, and the protagonist is a 27 year old engineering major, just a year away from a double doctorate major in both mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, while minoring in computer engineering, along with electronic engineering.
Since he was young, he was able to rapidly absorb and retain knowledge.
