That's a very simplistic view of things, one can make conflict when the world has been shown to have magic in it, perhaps unlimited ability to use magic, Hypno or mind control would cause what you're talking about.
That would obviously not be how one would set up a world if they wanted it to last for 20,000 words, any magic if that is included or clarctech would have to be something that the main character or those effected don't fully understand, and possibly in their quest to undo [but ultimately ending up worse off] the effects they could learn some things. Heck, it could even be a corruption story and though learning of how to do what was done to them they start doing it to others.
Now that's out of the way, I've got to say you guys are terrible at this… two days into this and all we've gotten is a vague genera and what not to do, if we're doing sci-fi I need to know what kind [Conolization, military sci-fi superheroes space opera]
I need some characters, who's this hot and sexy babe that'll be the face of the story and what's her deal? Who's the villain and if they're not using X or X what are they using?
offer world building ideas, I just need a seed of an idea to grow into something
