"Rrrrrinnnng! " Went his alarm clock. It was 9:00am. He got up, stretched a little and went to his mirror.

"Hair, black. Eyes, Cyan. Name, Cyan Zugo," he said to himself. It was part of his daily self check routine, as he was named after the color of his eyes. He got ready for the day and went downstairs for breakfast, but he realized he was out of ingredients. "Today's a discount Saturday," he thought, and prepared himself to go shopping.

On his way out, he saw a nine-year-old training her power control. She had arrow powers, summoned a barrage of them and launched them at a target. For a nine-year-old, she had incredible aim. All arrows hit the target except one that soared over the target and narrowly missed a bunny; which froze still, as the girl ran over to check on it.

Everyone had powers, called Radiants. It all started when an asteroid with a multicolored radiation crashed on earth. As a bonus, it could increase the abilities of a person. It was gaseous and swiftly went around the world in the span of three months. Using your radiant wrongly triggered a reverse reaction making your radiant and its energy, rendering you of the impure (imp for short).

However, where there are villains, there must be heroes. Coming from all around the world, 12 stand to be the best. Generally known as the 12 Storeys, they are:

12.Winstance; who has the power of barrier manipulation

Season; who can control the temperature

10.CamRaia; who can turn invisible and make things invisible

9.Triech: Who can clone himself and clone anything

Upraise, who can control gravity

7.NRG; who can manipulate every form of energy

6.Taurina; who possesses the abilities of a Minotaur and can turn into one

5.Taiko; who can manipulate cutlery and food

4.Auto; being 1/4 robot because his radiant, can turn into any vehicle

3.Artier; who can draw anything into reality

Timerack; who can manipulate time itself

1.Miroar; who can copy any radiant

Cyan's dream was to be one of them. Not necessarily the number one, but part of the storeys was good enough.

      When he arrived at the store, he was all washed up about what to have for breakfast. "Eggs for breakfast, Bread for an omelette-" only to be interrupted by the realization of an Imp. There were hostages, one of which was Cyan's friend, Hoka, Miroar's son, signalling to Cyan. With his radiant being Portals, he opened a barely visible portal behind Cyan and spoke,

"The imp's got a poison radiant. With this many people, I would have wanted to attack the imp with everyone, but it's risky. We've got one casualty already. Here's the plan, though: distract the imp, I'll get everyone out of here, then I'll come to support you, "then he closed the portal. Giving Cyan a thumbs up, Hoka left Cyan knowing what was left of the matter.

He tapped into his kaiku, the energy that powered radiants, to wake his radiant up making water swirl off his palms.

 "Wait, wait, wait! He's going to use water? Don't you have something less calm or weak?" a hostage snapped.

 "Judge me when you can save yourself from stuff like this," Cyan replied, smirking at the hostage, who began to grumble at that response.

  "ENOUGH!" bellowed the ironically patient imp.

 "I'm not going to have you do the cringy exposition of your plan, so let's cut to the part where you attack," Cyan said.

 The imp, taking the offer, prepared his attack. "Try your survival.ႼიIႽიႶ ႼႮႶIႽႹ!" he called, unleashing a rain of poison darts in Cyan's direction.

"🇼 🇦 🇻 🇪 🇼 🇦 🇱 🇱 ! " Cyan yelled, forming a dense wave in front of him. His radiant was elemental. Amongst all his elements, only water, magic, nature and light could heal, yet at the time he had only mastered water and magic. Water, to heal injuries, nature for illnesses, light could heal deformities, and magic could purify someone (de-imp). His kaiku was up to 60 kilowatts. kaiku was mainly measured in watts. Being somehow like an MP in a game, one's kaiku varied based on three criteria; The radiant, how it works, and how often its user trained it. Cyan trained a lot as a kid, so he had 60kw of kaiku.

Upon kaiku being used, the user's brain sends a signal of how lucky kaiku is left. The wave wall cost 5.5kw and took 200w per minute , leaving him with 54.7kw left.

Cyan's initial idea was to go magic mode to make a healing hormone and de-imp the imp, and it would have taken 15kw. In all Cyan's thinking, the imp saw an opportunity, summoned a poison blade and charged at Cyan, who dodged a little late and got cut on his arm. He winced in pain as the poison crawled up his veins
