What is a hero?

A hero is a vigilante who seeks peace and believes that everyone deserves a second chance. They think everyone has kindness.

Heroes are people who save other people, but without killing.

A true hero does not kill... Ahh... Bullshit. Nonsense.

I have always believed that people who have committed crimes such as murder no longer have human rights.

To me, a criminal is not a human being, just a piece of garbage.

“That's why I won't forgive you, even if you regret what you did.”

I took this man by the neck, who murdered his father-in-law. According to his version, he had an argument with him and killed him with a hammer.

"Take me to jail! Please, don’t kill me! I want a fair trial!"

"Oh, of course you'll have a trial. I'm the judge, and I'll give you the death penalty."

"N-no, have mercy, I have two children and my wife is pregnant...!"

I crushed his neck and beheaded him. His blood dirtied my arms... That's disgusting.

"I'll keep working."

I am the least apt to have powers... I don't have the values that a real hero has.

I kill criminals, I don't care what others say about me. I don't care about people's opinions, I don't care about being called a killer. I am the one who has the powers, I am the one who decides how to use it.

Murderers don't deserve to live. They lost their human rights when they took someone else's life.

Rapists, thieves, murderers... To me, they're all garbage... And the garbage must disappear.

Heroes by luck.

CHAPTER 1- A cliché beginning.

In space, far away from the solar system, there is a planet where some beings live who are dedicated to exterminating planets in a somewhat peculiar way. Those beings are called: "Trailens". And their next target is the planet Earth.

(Somewhere in space, on the Tralian selection ship.)

Two Trailens are assembled.

Their appearances are very clichés.

They're like octopuses, they have 8 tentacles, one huge black eye, one big mouth, one big eyebrow, and they have a hole in their head.

"How long till we get there?"- Said one of them in a dark voice.

He uses a red belt to differentiate himself from the other and is devouring a green arm… An arm that looks human, but isn't, just looks human.

"Less than a fels, boss."- Said one of them in a less scary and somewhat high-pitched voice.

He wears a green belt to differentiate himself from his boss.

Boss Trailen leaves the alien arm on a plate and responds with a long smile.

"Perfect."

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(On planet Earth, 5 hours before the arrival of the Trailens.)

The exit bell rings and I sigh. Another day of school is over. I can relax and rest now.

I'm kind of sleepy... I'll do my homework and fall asleep.

"Okay..."

I get up from my table and take my backpack.

"The class is finally over, it's time to go out and enjoy my pathetic life."- I say smiling.

My name is Angel, I am 16 years old and I have nothing special. The only thing that differentiates me from my classmates is that I am obese and ugly... That's all. I'm not smart, but I'm not an idiot either. I'm average... Although I don't have a lot of self-esteem and I have a hard time communicating with others... You could say I'm the freak in the class.

I have short black hair, very average hair... I'm a filler character in this novel called "Life".

I live in the city called "Kerkia" in the country "Mesaik". I live in the year 2119, where crime is worse than ever. After overpopulation increased, poverty also increased because jobs also declined. Without jobs, people had to resort to theft. After World War III, the world changed too much. The crimes became even more common and violent.

An unsafe time for ordinary people like me.

"I am tired..."

I want to get home and sleep. A good dream is what I need.

"Listen up!"

I am ready to leave, but I hear the voice of one of my classmates, Ana. Ana is a very beautiful girl, she has long black hair, she wears a short black skirt and a blue blouse.

A very beautiful girl, anyone would fall in love with her... Well, except for me. I admit she's beautiful, but her personality is... annoying.

As ugly as I am, I've never cared about the looks of people... A pathetic thought I use to not feel so bad about myself.

"Remember, classmates, the party is at 3 p.m., at my house, don't forget!"

Ana said it out loud and I don't know what she's talking about. I have to admit, I'm a little curious.

"Party?"- I asked confused and Gonzalez touches my right shoulder. Gonzalez is my only and best friend.

A nice guy who doesn't judge me by my looks.

He wears black glasses, is brown and has black hair.

"Her birthday party. She didn't invite you? She invited each of us by text message. Didn't she text you?"

González pulls out his cell phone and shows me the message.

“I guess she forgot…”

I'm not very good at communicating with others, but I really want to go to that party.

I've never talked to her, but I hope she invites me too.

On my mother's recommendation, I must start talking to more people, so that my social anxiety diminishes.

"I-I will ask her."- I say nervous.

I took a breath... Okay... I-I have to ask her.

I turn to Ana nervously.

Ahhhh! This is harder than I thought!

"H-hi, I was wondering if you invited me too, since you invited everyone. Hehe."

"No, I didn't invite you."- She said while looking at me with disgust.

... Huh?

I'm very confused, because she had invited everyone. Why not me?

I admit I'm the least popular in this class, but she invited my best friend, and he's almost as unpopular as I am, too.

"W-why?"

"You disgust me, look at you, you're fat and ugly."

When she said that, she started laughing... I feel bad... Very badly.

I know my appearance is... grotesque, but... I'm a good person.

I've never messed with anyone... I'm polite and kind... But... does she really judge me by my appearance?

... Appearance is important after all.

—... "You're kidding, right? J-just because of the way I look...? I-I think that's ridiculous."

"I don't care, it's my party, I invite whoever I want."

She keeps laughing and I walk away from her, looking at the floor.

“Okay..."

Judged by my appearance... Ah...

"I'd better go home..."

I leave while listening to the jeers and laughter of my classmates. They're making fun of me... I should be used to it, but it still hurts.

“Hey..."

Gonzalez started walking next to me.

"Don't let the teasing get to you."

I guess I'm used to it.

Words are just words... If I ignore them, they won't hurt me... I guess.

"I know... I know…"

"And if it makes you feel any better, I'm not going to her party."

"Don't worry about me, you go, I'm sure it'll be fun."

"It's okay, besides, I don't like to live with people like her."

—... "You're a good friend. Thank you."

•

•

(30 minutes before the arrival of the Trailens.)

Ah... Tears stopped coming out... I think I'm dry.

I'm lying in my bed... I tried to sleep, but I couldn't... I have a headache.

I'm really depressed. The teasing really affects me too much... I think trying to ignore the words doesn't work.

"Everyone's having fun and I'm in my bed, lying down."

I get thoughtful and sad... I must distract myself... I don't want to have suicidal thoughts... Not again.

"Well, I think I'll walk for a while to distract myself."

Walking will calm me down... Ah... I hope so.

•

•

(In the space.)

The ship was almost at its target. Just a few more steps and the plan will kick off.

"Boss, we're almost there."

"Contact our contact on planet Earth."

"Of course."

He presses several buttons and manages to contact the Trailen on Earth... And behind that Trailen, there's a disgusting scene.

"Hey, can you hear me? Do you have enough information about the planet yet?"

"Sure... Wait, please, I'm eating."- He said it while he finished eating a human baby. Behind him are several dead people.

They're all beheaded and their organs and guts are out of their bodies. The Trailen was curious about what they were like inside.

He killed a whole family just to get information, and since the baby wouldn't give him any knowledge about the planet, he ate him.

He finishes and wipes his mouth.

"On this planet, the beings that protect others are called: "heroes." Everyone here is like a baby simbilance, weak and fragile, easy to kill."

"Heroes...? It sounds weird. Well, how does the planet divide?"

"Here the planet is divided into something like the franxz, but here it is called countries and there are 69 countries. But there is something different, on this planet there are different languages, so I think on this planet we have to make sure that the inhabitants we choose are from the same franxz or country."

"I understand... All right, let's start phase 1: Selection. Did you get anything or draw how the Franxz are distributed in this world? And also at once send the information of the languages, I guess you also have the information of their languages, right?"

"Yes, boss, right now I'm sending you the image, the data of the languages and all the information I gathered from the planet."

An image showing a map of the planet appears on one of the screens of the ship and boss Trailen begins to observe the image. There are 3 huge continents alone.

"Mmm... Decided, I like the shape of this franxz. The 15 inhabitants to whom we will give the gifts will be distributed here."- He said smiling.

He points to the country "Mesaik" with his tentacle.

And thanks to that simple decision, the universe, in the future, will undergo a major change.

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(Minutes later, on Earth.)

Ah... That's disgusting. It sucks so much.

I'm walking near a river that's heavily polluted.

I live in a small town, a little far from the city.

Humans became more evil after World War III. Pollution also increased.

This planet is no longer the same as the planet it was 100 years ago.

"Ah... How boring I am, I'd better go home."

I'll play video games and... Huh?

I hear a dog crying.

A dog is suffering.

"Wait, that sounds bad."

I follow the sound.

"It is this way..."

I'm getting close... A little more...

I turn a corner and I see two guys kicking a black dog and apparently they're drunk.

They are minors... Alcohol was sold to minors... No one respects the law in this world anymore.

"Hahahaha! This is what you get for biting me!"

Damned... Fucking sons of bitches!

"Hey, assholes, stop kicking the dog, motherfuckers!"- I scream angrily.

One of them starts laughing.

"Why, chubby? You're gonna defend It? Oh, I'm so scared."- He said it while he's still laughing.

I know I'm weak, but I can't let a dog suffer anymore.

"Hey, the whale is right, we mustn't kick this poor dog, we better kick him."

Huh?

They both start laughing. I have a bad feeling. I-I better go.

I don't like getting beat up.

"I-I'd better go...

I'm starting to run as fast as I can.

The downside of being fat is that I can't run fast.

Who am I kidding? I'm just trying to avoid the inevitable.

•

•

"Follow the whale in no hurry, I don't think he'll hold out long."- Said one of them with a big smile.

•

•

(In the space.)

"Ready for the distribution of gifts."

"Okay, show the picture again."

An image of the map of "Mesaik" appears and the boss looks at the image.

"According to the information, young humans are the ones who are most interested in heroes, so choose only young people."

The Trailen wizard presses some buttons, entering the information of the characteristics that the chosen humans must have.

"Done!"

"Shoot!"

Assistant Trailen presses a button and robots that look like drones leave the ship.

"The fun will begin."

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(On Earth.)

S-shit ...

They're both hitting me on the floor.

I can't even defend myself... I don't have the strength... I'm pathetic.

"You like my kicks, chubby?"

“I think you'd like a few more blows to the face, don't you, whale?”

... I won't give you the pleasure of seeing me cry or suffer.

I start laughing and answer them.

"You hit like 3-year-old girls."- I say it with blood on my face.

My nose and lips are bleeding.

"Well, we hit him so hard he went crazy."

He starts laughing and one of them is staring at something in the sky.

"Look in the sky, it's some kind of drone, but it's a little weird, don't you think?"

The other one watches and so do I.

T-that's not a drone... It’s huge... Looks like a helicopter, but weirder.

It's... a machine or something.

Huh? Th-that thing pulled out something shiny?

"Th-that's not a drone, look, that thing pulled something out and started glowing. We have to go, that looks dangerous!"

They both get scared, and that thing fires some kind of pink ray. Wh-What's that? Is that directed at us?!

"That shot us a pink lightning bolt!"

They take me quickly and cover the lightning with me.

"Huh?!"

The lightning strikes me and surrounds my body completely.

"AHHHHH!"

I couldn't help screaming in pain. This feels awful! Am I burning alive?! What's happening?!!

•

•

Angel's body begins to glow with a pink hue.

His eyes turn pink and white rays leave his body for a few seconds.

"What's going on?!"

Three seconds pass and Angel returns to normal.

He can't stand up because of all the pain he felt.

He closes his eyes and faints.

"Shit, look how that lightning left the whale!"

"The drone's gone or whatever it was!"

"I think he's dead!"

"Let's go, they'll blame us!"

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(4 hours later.)

I wake up confused.

Huh? What am I doing here?

I'm lying under a tree.

... Huh?

Why does my whole body hurt?

Ah... It's true.

"Ah... I got the shit kicked out of me by those guys... What time is it?"

I take out my smartphone and look at the time... Huh?! It's very late!

"Shit!"

I get up and dust myself off.

I have to go home!

"It's 9 o'clock at night, I hope my mother doesn't scold me!"

•

•

After a few minutes, I arrive at my house quietly.

Everything's off... I think they're asleep.

“I guess they're all asleep… Well, tomorrow I prefer to be scolded, I'm going to sleep."

I go into my room, lie down in my bed and start singing.

It's a good way to get distracted.

"🎶Lying down I am... And I'm beaten... It hurts just to breathe. 🎶"

I start to laugh at my suffering and I start to think about that lightning that gave me.

That was weird... When that touched me, I fainted... What was that?

"What would that lightning be...?"

"Nya."

I realize that my cat is approaching me.

"Hi, Michito."

I pat him softly on the head and smile.

I love animals, they're the only ones who don't judge me by my looks.

"Have some rest."

I'd better forget what happened today and fall asleep.

It's not worth remembering.

•

•

(The next morning.)

I wake up and look at my cat awake. How sweet.

Seeing an adorable cat just when I wake up makes me happy.

Opening my eyes and seeing something adorable, makes me think my day will be good... Ah... Trying to escape my disgusting reality.

I bet today will be a boring and pathetic day, like every day of my life.

"Hi, Michito, how did you wake up?"

I pat him gently on the head, but my cat's head hits the floor and explodes... Huh? T-The head of my cat is shattered... E-exploded... Huh?! What the ****?! My cat's head exploded?!

"Huh?!!"- Scream scared.

Why?! Who did this...?! W-wait, there's no one else here... Did I do it?!!!

I get up frightened from my bed.

"Wh-What did I do? What did I do?!"- I say nervous.

Wait... W-Why do I feel so weird?

My arms feel... different.

I look at my hands and realize that my hands are not the same fat hands I had.

"Eh...? Huh?"- I mean nervous and confused.

My hands look very different. My arms are very different, now my arms are thin and... strong?

"What's wrong with me?"

I turn to see the mirror I have in my room and I get scared.

Th-this is really happening? I-I 'm not dreaming?

"What happened to me?"

I look at myself again and get confused. This is too weird... Very rare.

"Is that me...? Am I...? But... Why am I thin and… muscled?"

The guy in the mirror is thin, his abdomen is marked... His muscles… His face... A thin but strong boy... The boy in the mirror is... a very handsome boy.

"D-definitely that's not me."

But he's imitating me perfectly.

T-The mirror reflection is me.

... What?!!

Heroes by luck.

CHAPTER 2- Powers.

I keep looking in the mirror, confused and scared.

I have a thin body. Now I'm a handsome guy, I'm not the same fat, ugly guy I was before. Could I be dreaming?

If so, I want to wake up!

I'd rather have my cat alive than be handsome!

"What the **** happened to me?! I killed my cat, I'm not fat anymore and now my body looks like a handsome boy. What’s wrong with me?!"

•

•

(In the space.)

"Very well, some time has passed, the gifts must have already been manifested. Vision test, put the screens on."

"All right, boss."

Press a few buttons and 15 screens emerge from the ceiling of the ship.

The point of view of different people appears on all the screens.

"Very well."

He watches the screens carefully, analyzing the behavior of the chosen ones.

"Perfect, some have already realized that something is not right. Perfect."

He takes with his tentacle a small alien woman with 3 eyes who was on a plate and smiles.

He's got a big table with "food". Different living alien species, suffering because they know they can't escape their destiny... Being eaten.

"How do you see it? Is the plan going well, 3 eyes? If you answer me, I'll let you live."- He said it while petting her.

"Rararraaaararararurara."- The woman said it while crying.

Meaningless words, as she speaks a different language.

"I don't understand you, and since you didn't explain it to me correctly, I'll eat you."

Cut the alien in half and start eating her.

Mercilessly.

"Delicious."

He starts laughing and smiles.

"Look on screen 7, that human is going crazy."

The two of them start looking at the screen.

"Shit, shit, shit. Is this real...? Shit... What’s wrong with me?!"- Said Angel frightened.

"Give me that guy's information, I'm interested."

The Trailen checks the information on some sort of computer.

"Well, that boy was lucky or unlucky that the guy we picked protected himself with him from the lightning. He was a trailenous boy, or by Earth's information, a boy with a lot of fat in his body. I think that's why he reacts like this."

“Exactly, his fat disappeared and his body took the shape of the heroes in his world, according to the information."

The cliché of handsome heroes.

"Look at screen 3, boss."

He looks at the screen. They are watching a girl with a long black hair and very beautiful. She has huge breasts... Really big breasts.

The cliché of the big-titted heroines.

"But what happened to me? I grew a bust and a butt. I'm not flat anymore... I think I'm happy and distressed right now."

She starts to laugh nervously.

She used to be a flat-chested girl.

Like Angel, she underwent a great physical change.

"Is that the body of a heroine on her planet?"- He said it confused.

"According to our contact, most heroines, because of their favoritism, that they are seen more by men than by women, are like this to attract the male gender."

"What sick beings are on this planet."

He takes an alien child from a plate and eats it whole.

"These little things are delicious... Okay, let's keep watching."

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(On Earth.)

What do I do?!

I don't even know what's going on with me!

Am I in a coma and can I imagine all this?!

Uwaaaah! I'm going crazy!

"What do I do?! If I go to school like this, it would be weird... Very rare...! Shit... I know, it's a dream. Yeah, sure, a dream. I'm gonna pinch myself to wake up."

I pinch myself and realize that what's going on is real... The pain confirms it.

"W-What? I'm not awake. What's wrong with me...? Why is this happening?"- I say it nervously as I watch my cat with a shattered head.

I... I killed my cat... My pet... Thanks to him, I managed to put my suicidal thoughts behind me... Thanks to him, I regretted trying to kill myself... And now he's dead.

"I... I want this to be a dream."

I couldn't take it anymore and I started crying.

"I want to wake up."

•

•

(In the space.)

"It is time for action."

"Yes, boss."

"What's the most common thing at the start of a hero?"

"They lose someone important or someone gives them the powers."

"I think this is going to be interesting."- He said with a big smile.

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(On Earth.)

I buried my cat as quietly as possible in the backyard.

I don't want them to find out that I was the one who killed him.

I don't want to be seen as a monster.

"Good thing nobody's woken up yet. I think I already control my new strength a little... Well, after I killed my cat and smashed the door, I got a little control with the shovel, I just smashed it a little."

I laugh nervously.

"Haha... Ha..."

Who am I kidding? I don't feel well.

"Why did it happen to me...? Ah?

A small ship lands in front of me.

"Eh?"

It is rare, because it is small and did not make any noise when landing.

... Yeah, I think I went crazy.

"First my new body and now a spaceship. Y-yes, I'm dreaming."- I say nervous.

"Human..."

A human, but green, came out of the ship and started talking to me. He's floating and wearing a red robe.

... Wow...

If I was still fat, I would have had a heart attack seeing that.

My new heart has less fat, so I'm just scared to death.

What hell is going on?!

"Hello, human."

—... "If it's not a dream, those blows those idiots gave me last night drove me crazy."- I say it laughing nervous and scared.

An alien?!

•

•

(5 minutes earlier, in space.)

"All right, I have an idea. We go and say to each chosen inhabitant: "I gave you the powers because you are one of the elect. Use your new powers responsibly"."

"I have an idea, use this."

He shows him the image of an alien according to humans. It is the typical image of a green alien with a big head.

"That's how they represent the space dwellers on their planet."

"Okay, I'll do it. I'll be right back."

A steam surrounded him completely and he began to change shape.

After 2 seconds, the steam disappeared.

He switched bodies to a human being, but with green skin.

The power to change shape.

"Like this?"

"Mmm... Well, they had a bigger head, but it'll work."

"Now, let's have some fun."- He said with a big smile.

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(Present, on Earth.)

The beginning of my day has been very rare so far, but this is too much!

"Wh-Who are you?"- I say shaking with fear.

"I'm one of the Skurals, we lived on the planet Skuranld, but some visitors from another planet came and killed us. Only me and 14 other Skurals survived. We come to your planet to warn humans that their planet is their next target. They'll be here in exactly one human year."

"F-fucking idiots, they really drove me crazy."- I say nervous.

"No, you were struck by lightning yesterday, weren't you?"

Huh?

W-what's that lightning...?

—... "Yeah, I still smell like burnt meat, left me fried."

"Congratulations, you're one of the chosen ones We, the Skurals, have, as they would say on your planet, powers with which you could defeat those who killed my species, and that is why I gave you my powers. Congratulations."

... Huh?

I am frozen at that response and confused. If it's real, this is bad... Very bad.

If the fate of the world is in my hands, we're screwed.

"Wait, if your species was defeated and it was an entire planet, do you think that I and... How many people will they give powers to?"

"15 humans."

“If an entire planet couldn't, do you think 15 humans will manage to defeat them?”

"No one on my planet used their powers because we lived in peace, so we were obsolete when they attacked us. But if you train, you will increase your strength and be able to with them."

—... "And you, Skurals, why don't you train?"

•

•

He began to think of an answer, because he did not know that humans were something intelligent.

He thought they were idiots.

"Well… Because we're running out of time to die, we don't have time to train. We, the Skurals, live only if they consume the planet's energy, and since it was destroyed, we can only survive 2 days without consuming it."

“So… Less than two days ago your planet was destroyed?"

“Yes, you, humans, are lucky we had a ship fast enough to reach your planet."

"I see..."

He watches him with a big smile, while Angel analyzes the situation.

"Humans are retarded. He believed it."- He thought.

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

I see... In short, the fate of the world is in the hands of 15 humans.

... Wow... Huh?! We're going to be invaded by aliens!

And the fate of the world is in my hands?!

I'm the least suited for that!

"Goodbye."

G-goodbye?

He returned to his ship... He's leaving already?!

"I have to go. Remember, in a year they will come to destroy them, train."

"B-But... What powers do we have?"

"You must find out for yourself."

He gets on his ship and leaves at a great speed, but makes no noise.

... I have powers.

... And our planet will be invaded by aliens.

—... "Please, let this be a dream."- I say worried and nervous as I watch the sky.

I don't know if I can do that... I don’t know.

°

(In the space.)

"Humans are not intelligent, your story made no sense and he believed you."

He laughs as he watches the screens.

"I know... Well, to visit the others."

•

•

(Pov- Angel.)

(On Earth.)

I have powers... Those powers made me handsome... I-I think I like that power.

“But how am I supposed to know what our powers are?”

I look at my arms and get more nervous.

"My mother will have a heart attack from the surprise."

I sigh and try to relax.

I wish I was like before, this body is not mine.

I used to be very ugly. I kind of like this change, but it's not normal to change so much in a day!

... Huh? Steam?

A vapor surrounds my body and I slowly become fat again... Huh?!

W-wait...

I imagined my fat self in my mind and then a steamer surrounded me... Is that how it works?!

"Did I go back to being fat just imagining myself being fat?!"

Heroes by luck.

CHAPTER 3- An upcoming hero.

I'm starting to touch my body, I'm fat again. It's definitely weird ... It's the weirdest day of my fucking pathetic life.

“I returned to my normal form… I think it works on my mind, but why am I getting tired? It's like I'm running."

I'm confused and nervous, I don't know what to do, I'm getting tired without doing anything. It's like I'm running. I am losing energy.

Shit, I'm definitely going crazy.

This day is completely weird… I hate this situation.

I want to wake up from this dream. I want to rest, shit.

—… "Huh?"

Is steam coming out of my feet?

The steam surrounds my body completely, disappears and I return to my thin form.

Huh? This change is rare… How did I do it?

“I went back to my thin form and I'm not tired anymore… I think this is not a dream... I think it's part of those powers that alien mentioned... I'll try it. I think it works by imagining something... Fine... Ok... Let's go... I hope it works."

I imagine my classmate, Ana, but nothing happens.

"Why is nothing happening...? Before I got fat again, I thought I wanted to be fat again, maybe it had something to do with it."

I imagine my classmate, Ana, again.

"I want to become her."- I thought so, hoping it would work.

… Yes, a steam began to rise from my feet.

A steam surrounds my body and I become Ana, even my clothes changed, I am now wearing a woman's school uniform.

… Wow… I feel weird wearing these clothes.

"Wow, I think it does work on my mind."

I wonder if… Fufu.

I touch my whole body. It feels very real... Fufu. I like this power.

"I think I like this power a lot."

I laugh a little nervous as I touch my breasts.

•

•

(Elsewhere in Mesaik, in the city “Jisis”.)

A girl is lying on the floor of her room, resting and reflecting on the information she has just received.

"I think that guy, alien, Martian, or whatever, was telling the truth... Powers? That's why I have this body... Fufu. I like these powers."

She starts to laugh as she touches her body, because before she was flat.

“But how will I know how to use the powers? He told me to train it... I guess I should find out for myself. The most common power is super strength. I think I got that one, which is why greeting that alien broke his hand."

•

•

(In the space.)

"Ready to go, boss?"

"Of course. Goodbye, humans, see you soon."- He said it, smiling a rare smile.

An evil, cliché smile.

I'm in my normal form... Well, normal as of today.

I'm thinking about my future.

To be honest, I still think it's a dream, but this is too real... It's real.

… Unfortunately, it is.

"Train, train, traaaaaaain... How the hell are we going to train…?! I think I'm gonna train my super strength."

First I'll train the basics.

I look around and look at a log. I use that log to sit down and rest. My town is small and friendly. When I sit there, I can see the forest behind my house. My grandmother, may she rest in peace, once told me that a miraculous fairy lives in that forest. The Desmolfer church forbids cutting down trees in that forest.

"First I'll learn to control my strength, I don't want to kill another person... My mother loved that cat, she will kill me if she finds out that I killed him... Okay, I'm going to hit the log as gently as possible."

I give it a little blow and split it in half.

… It was an almost tiny, but powerful blow.

“Shit... Well, I'll try to fly."

I jump and fall to the ground.

Attempt number 1, failed.

"That alien was floating when he came, I guess I have that power too, but... How do I activate it?"

"Angel!"

Huh?

I-I hear my mother's voice.

"Angel, breakfast is ready!"

Oh, shit!

"Shit, I hope she didn't see the broken door."

I return to being fat and head back to the house.

"I'm coming, mother!"- I mean screaming.

I-I have to act normal.

I walk into the house, sit at the table and get a little nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous in my situation?!

I hope she doesn't suspect anything.

"You eat and go to school."- Said my mother.

My mom is 45, she's a little fat, and she has short black hair.

An average mother.

"Y-Yes..."

"The door broke down, you know what?"

Uwaaaah!

I-I have to say something to convince her.

"I-I don't know... I guess someone broke into the house to steal again."

That excuse will do. Our country is very insecure.

"All right, then I'll see what they stole. Eat, it's already late."

Ah... Crime is so normal, my mother doesn't act so nervous.

“Yes, Mother."

... ****.

I watch my spoon.

How the **** do I take the spoon without bending it or breaking it?

"Eat up, son, we've got to go."

“I’m coming."

I'm starting to sweat, I'm really nervous.

What do I do?!

Shit, shit, shit ... I know, I'll try to do the same thing with my transformations.

I want to stop being strong... Well, I've thought about it. I hope it works.

I take the spoon and smile. I try to bend it gently to check that I no longer have super strength.

The spoon won't bend.

Perfect!

"It didn't break, that's how powers work, with the mind."- I mean whispering.

I smile a little nervous.

Ah... I almost had a heart attack from all those nerves!

"How much do you murmur? We have to go."

"What? Oh, yeah, I'm gonna eat."

I start eating breakfast while my mother looks at me weirdly.

Should I tell her what happened to me? Maybe yes... Or maybe not... I'll think about it.

I don't want her to think of me as a freak.

(30 minutes later, in high school.)

Ah... The school.

Hated by most, including me.

Okay, I already checked that I do have powers, now I must stay normal as always, although I get tired, it is as if my body wasted energy while I am using my transformation, although now I have a lot of energy and resistance.

I can stand to be using the transformation for several hours.

I walk into my classroom and Gonzalez walks up to me.

"Hey, Angel, have you seen the new video of...?"- Gonzalez said.

I cover his mouth and whisper.

"Listen, I have something to tell you on the way out of school, it's important, don't go."

He shakes his head saying "yes" and I take my hand out of his mouth.

"But don't go confessing your feelings to me."

We both started laughing. I don't like men. I am straight.

"You wish, you're not my type."

We laughed again, but I stop laughing when Ana approaches me.

I smell an attempted bullying.

"Hi, Angel, I hope you didn't get mad at me for not inviting you to my party."

She's starting to laugh at me.

Oh, how adorable, she looks at me with disgust.

I watch her laugh and smile.

"Don't worry, not being invited to your party was the best thing that ever happened to me."

I get a laugh and Ana keeps laughing at me.

"Sure, fatso."

Manuel, her boyfriend, approaches us.

"Love, is this cow bothering you?"

"Yes, a little bit."

He laughs as he looks at me.

Ah... Their laughter is annoying.

"I think someone should teach him a lesson."

They're both starting to laugh.

Ana and Manuel, the two most idiotic, but at the same time, the most attractive in the class. For that simple reason they believe they are above all others. If they knew that I could become attractive if I wanted to, and I could also beat them to death.

I smile and look him in the eye.

"Sure, give me a lesson if you want."

"Wow, you take it so fast? I like that."

He punches me in the stomach. Fufu. I didn't feel the blow. Great.

"Wow, that was supposed to hurt? Try harder."- I say smiling.

I didn't feel that blow, it didn't hurt at all. Having powers is great.

I am also immune to pain, or at least I feel less pain than before.

"Son of a bitch."

He keeps hitting me repeatedly in the stomach.

"I think you hit like a little girl, little girl."

"What's wrong with it?"- He said it confused.

"My turn."

I punch him in the face and he falls to the ground... Really?

I just used my normal strength.

"What the ****?!"- Ana said.

"This little girl couldn't take a punch from me."

Ah... I think that insult was macho.

... Mmm... Cowardly or weak? Ah, it doesn't matter.

Gonzalez pats me on the back.

"Damn, brother, he always hits you and now you hit him. Well done, brother, but how the hell could you take so many blows?"

I approach González and whisper to him.

"I'll tell you on the way out of school."

“Okay."

Gonzalez is the only friend I have, I can trust him. He's like me, but thin and dark.

(At the school exit, 12:30 pm.)

The first classes ended and we decided to miss the others.

I want to go home early to start my training.

"Well, what did you want to tell me?"- Gonzalez said.

"Come on, I'll tell you in the park."

Someone could hear us here.

•

(In the park that is two blocks from the school.)

Okay... The park is lonely... Well, after all, it is very dirty and neglected. Nobody comes to this place.

"Well, tell me, and don't give me your "I like you" nonsense because I'll run away."

I see him laughing and I smile at him.

What I will tell him will surprise him more than that.

"Gonzalez, guess what."

"What?"

"I'll be a hero."

I smile as I see him confused.
