In the nightlife of a Noviden city, where Rich danced with the whispers of begging sounds in background, a young boy named Daniel lived in the suffocating embrace of his own confined mind. At twelve years old, his mind was a steel trap, honed by years of stifled genius and bitter resentment. Each day was a delicate ploy of deception and calculation, as Daniel navigated the treacherous waters of his tumultuous existence and his surroundings.

The dimly lit streets of his neighborhood bore witness to Daniel's meticulous planning. From the old sign of the corner store to the crumbling apartment buildings that loomed like silent sentinels, every detail was cataloged in the recesses of his extraordinary mind. He knew the rhythms of the city like the back of his hand, each beat was a symphony of opportunity and danger.

Amidst the great chaos of his life, Daniel found peace and his passion in the nearby Saint Landguard library. Within its empty halls, he devoured every knowledge he can get with a voracious appetite, hungry for wisdom that would elevate his brilliant intellect to another level. From the workings of electric machines to the dynamics of traffic control, he absorbed every scrap of information like a sponge,while his thirst for all wisdom still remain unquenchable.

But behind the mask of his brilliance lay a heart blackened by years of abuse and neglect. His father, a volatile man with a taste for violence and whiskey, ruled their small apartment with an iron fist. Each day brought fresh torment for Daniel, his father's fists raining down upon him like a storm of fury.

On this particular morning, as the sun cast its feeble rays upon the city, Daniel stood at the threshold of his carefully laid plan. His father, nursing a hangover borne of too much whiskey and too little remorse, stumbled through the cluttered apartment with a scowl etched upon his features.

"It's been 3 whole year I've spent gathering knowledge and crafting this plan and eliminated all variables in existence. "

"Get up, boy," his father spat, the acrid scent of alcohol clinging to his words like a shroud. "I've got business to attend to, and you're coming with me."

Daniel's lips curled into a cold smirk as he met his father's gaze with steely determination. "As you wish, Father," he replied, his voice devoid of emotion.

As they made their way through the Noviden streets, Daniel's mind raced with anticipation. He had spent months meticulously planning every detail of this moment, from the timing of the traffic lights to the movements of the unsuspecting Mr. Williams in his SUV.

But amidst the cacophony of his thoughts, a voice echoed in the recesses of his mind—a voice tinged with warmth and kindness, a voice he had long since buried beneath layers of bitterness and resentment.

"Daniel, my dear," his mother's voice whispered, a ghostly echo from a time long past. "Be strong, my love. Your brilliance will light the way, even in the darkest of nights."

With his mother's words as his guiding light, Daniel forged ahead, his heart as cold as steel, his mind as sharp as a blade. As they approached the intersection, Daniel's fingers twitched with anticipation, a flicker of satisfaction dancing in his eyes. For today, destiny awaited, and he would not be denied.

Daniel's plan relied on his deep understanding of traffic control systems and his mastery of technology. Through his extensive research and study, he had unearthed the vulnerabilities of the city's traffic light network. With intricate knowledge of the inner workings of these systems, he devised a method to manipulate them to his advantage.

As they reached the intersection, Daniel's pulse quickened with anticipation. His father, oblivious to the danger that lurked just beyond the threshold of the crosswalk, lumbered ahead with a drunken swagger.

"Wait here, boy," his father grunted, his voice slurred with intoxication. "I'll be back before you know it."

Daniel nodded obediently, his mind already racing ahead to the moment of reckoning. With deft fingers, he accessed the hidden interface of the traffic control system, his movements swift and precise. Using a combination of carefully crafted algorithms and stealthy infiltrations, he rerouted the flow of traffic with surgical precision.

And then, as if by magic, the traffic lights flickered to life, bathing the intersection in a kaleidoscope of colors. With a calculated flicker of his wrist, Daniel ensured that the light would turn green at precisely the moment his father stepped into the path of Mr. Williams' SUV.

As the seconds ticked by, Daniel's heart pounded in his chest, a symphony of anticipation and dread. And then, in a flash of metal and glass, fate intervened, sealing his father's fate with a merciless twist of destiny.

As the echoes of the collision reverberated through the air, Daniel watched with cold satisfaction, his lips curling into a chilling smile. For in that moment, amidst the chaos and destruction, he had seized control of his own destiny, forging a path of vengeance and liberation from the shackles of his past.

And as the sirens wailed in the distance, heralding the arrival of law enforcement and chaos, Daniel stood alone amidst the wreckage, a solitary figure bathed in the harsh glare of the streetlights. For today, he had emerged victorious, a testament to the indomitable spirit of one boy's quest for retribution.

"Well now that i have my freedom back, and i can't live outside without guardian anymore for now. Let's do some minor crime and go to juvenile detention center for next few years to get sustainable knowledge and enough time to grow."

That's how our Daniel's quest starts.
