Chapter 2: The Beginning of a New World

Thirty years ago, the world changed forever. Special abilities began to emerge in people, giving them powers beyond anything they could have imagined. These abilities ranged from superhuman strength to the ability to control fire or manipulate time itself.

However, the emergence of these powers was short-lived. In the last ten years, the possibility of inheriting these powers had become virtually non-existent, with only 0.8 in a thousand having any chance of obtaining them. The world had returned to normal, and the heroes who had once protected society had become nothing more than a distant memory.

Akira, who had just turned fifteen, was anxious. He wasn't sure if he would inherit his father's ability or if he would be one of the many who would never possess such powers. His father had been a hero, a brave and selfless man who had given his life to protect others.

The society had changed a lot since the emergence of the powers. The heroes who were once admired and revered had become a thing of the past. The world had become divided, with those who had powers and those who did not. The revolutionaries who wanted equality between the two groups had risen, challenging the status quo.

On the other hand, there were also those who used their powers for chaos and destruction. Evil organizations had emerged, seeking to dominate and control the world. The balance of power had shifted, and the fate of the world hung in the balance.

Akira looked around at the world he lived in, a world where the strongest could control society as they pleased. He wondered what kind of power he would possess, and whether he would be able to use it for good. He knew that he wanted to make a difference, to be a hero like his father had been.

As he pondered these thoughts, a sudden realization hit him. He looked at his hands and felt a tingling sensation, as if something inside him was stirring. He closed his eyes and focused, trying to tap into whatever power lay within him. But nothing happened he was sure he felt something but the answer to his question remained a mystery for him. As he started walking down the river to get back home Akira was in his own thoughts trying to decide what he can do to be like his father.

As he started walking down the streets lost in his own thoughts when suddenly he saw a little kid crossing the road. But before he could react, a truck came out of nowhere, and the kid was about to be hit. Akira's instincts kicked in, and he manifested his abilities of superhuman strength and ran towards the kid. He was too fast for a human eye to see, and in seconds, he reached the kid and stopped the truck with his bare fists. But the strength and force of his fists shattered the truck, killing the driver in the process.

As soon as he realized what he had done, Akira was traumatized. He had killed someone innocent with his own hands, which he had promised to protect others with. The guilt was overwhelming him, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He looked around, and the sight of the dead driver only made things worse.

"I-I didn't mean to kill him," Akira stammered, trying to come to terms with what had happened.

Suddenly, he heard sirens in the distance, and soon enough, the cops were on the scene, surrounding Akira and telling him to surrender.

"Put your hands up and surrender," one of the officers said.

Akira was frozen from shock, but he knew he had to face the consequences of his actions. Without any resistance, he quietly surrendered.

"I'm sorry," Akira said as the officers handcuffed him. "I didn't mean to kill anyone."

As they took him away, Akira couldn't help but think about what his father would have done in his place. Would he have been proud of him for saving the child or disappointed in him for taking an innocent life?

Akira knew that he had a long road ahead of him. He had to come to terms with his powers and learn how to control them. He had to make sure that he never let this happen again. But for now, all he could do was wait and see what his fate would be.
