The children are seized from their parents and taken through a particular school. The school is designed to bring the best out of their abilities. While these children grow like any other children, their unique skills start to emerge when they enter teenage hood. At first, those that created these children are curious to see how far they can go with training. Once their abilities become apparent, their creators start to fear them.

The OAG heroes are teens and young adults who are genetically engineered. The company responsible for engineering treats them as slaves who have to follow their instructions to the letter. The heroes are not too happy about the way they are treated, and there are plans to take action and teach the users a lesson. Their users have no idea that the training these children went through not only made them useful but also dangerous. As they grew, their abilities became more refined as their powers increased.

Because of their abilities, the genetic engineering company sells the children to those who require their services. Unfortunately, they are not treated well. When the children discover that they can unlock gates and enter other planets using telekinesis, they make plans to escape from their owners.

For a teenager, the rejection from all quarters and the discoveries are more than overwhelming.
