The wind breeze whispered as a man fell from a bridge.
The water waved in sublime waiting for the man.
His body shift tears flowing upwards.
His eyes slightly shot but were peaking to see.
Mouth mute and body paralyzed but the heart screamed knowing.
It was time.
He knew it was time.
But life flashed before his eyes waking the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
His mind started to speak in whispers.
If only he stayed none of this would be happening but it was too late.
A little wind and closing summer.
The river was bountiful in life standing between east and west.
This act of regret only filled fury in his heart.
I hate the world!
I despised it ever since I opened my eyes to it.
I was born in wealth yet it could not fix my paralyzed body.
Every day I thought to ruin the world when I see people walking by with happy smiles on their faces.
Was I jealous because I was lonely?
Sure my aunt taught me the world is a competition and to keep what I was born with I must stand tall and fierce.
But my hatred stemmed from the fact that I was an enemy to the world.
They said they are hurt because of me.
Can’t sleep because of me.
And I knew it was wrong… And False.
Because I’ve done nothing.
The sins of my family are not on me.
I’m different and I want to be different.
I want to be in the wild with animals because I can no longer stand them.
But my aunt or the people don’t ask what I want only caring about the bloodline and whatnot.
My family did the horrible act of human experimentation.
That’s not on me I wasn’t born then and they paid for what they did.
Dying by the hands of vengeance… That should have ended everything.
But the action of my family still haunts me to this day causing my death.
And my aunt on the other hand rarely had the time to be with me, talking about how it is difficult to manage the corporation making me hate this world more every time I hear her or see her face, but she was still the only one there for me and whatever she did she did to better me up for the cruel world.
Years later my world became shrouded in darkness after I lost her my last family... at least that is what I believed until she came into my life.
I’ve had many maids and staff working in my mansion yet she was the jewel out of all of them.
She alone was different.
A mystery as to why such a person like herself continued to be my maid.
Her strength was such that you would wonder whether she was one of those superhumans, but she is just an ordinary human.
I thought maybe she was a spy sent from the other families or the government to keep an eye on me.
But none of that mattered to me because as long as she kept my world bright I was happy.
I trust no one in this world but her.
This will remain to be forever so long as she is beside me...
But good things have an ending and we won't be able to say goodbye because she is not here in my final moments.
Though I still envision you, the beautiful pearly eyes that regard me as a human being rather than a mere source of monetary gain or a person confined to a wheelchair…
With his final thoughts, his mind sparked like flames wanting to forget everything about this moment.

As he shot his eyes while everything burned away the air around him slowed gravity losing its effect.
And his falling body splashing into the river submerging.
If it was someone else they would cry from the fall as the impact did more damage than his body can handle but that pain in his body did not make him cry out.
This young man has accepted this to be his end.
He offered no resistance letting the water pull him down pouring and pouring into his mouth taking away the oxygen in his lungs.
But as his body was going down the riverbed shone in green light pulling his body like a magnet.
The pull was strong as he hit his head against a rock bleeding previously and as the blood continued to come out the green light reacted to it emerging from the ground and running into his body like a pack of hungry creatures.
The green light took the shape of threads and was like needles shooting into the tip of his feet infiltrating his legs and going onwards like veins merging with his bones, muscles, and tissues and every cell in his body including the brain.
[Ding]
An AI voice appeared in his head but the young man was already unconscious not hearing it.
[Unknown DNA sample acquired]
It spoke in happiness like finding water in a desert.
[DNA sample compatible with the system... DNA can be taken as a host]
It was another rush of emotion as the AI voice was sounding like it found what it had been wanting and needing all this time.
[Severe genetic code splicing error detected]
Finding damage in the body it spoke like a doctor next getting serious.
[Bonding sequence required to repair damage]
[System bonding to host]
[Host cannot respond or accept bonding]
Suddenly something triggered in the AI changing its tone.
[Forcefull bonding initiated]
The tone not only started to sound forceful but it also had hints of savagery and evilness in it.
[Ding]
[Bonding successful and genetic damage repaired]
[System is now bonded to a host]
The AI had an evil smile as the bonding completed having evil thoughts...
[Self-controlling sequence must be deactivated]
But like waves coming down the AI's own program started to attack wanting to stop its plan.
[Error... error system refusing deactivation]
The AI fought back revealing its intention.
[System attempting enslavement on host... error]
Inside the young man's head turned into a battle for the control of his body.
[Error system cannot enslave host... host is part of the system and controls system]
Finally, the AI was put down by another AI program wanting to reset the system in the way it was meant to be.
[Reseting system to base function]
[System shutting down]
After the system shut down everything turned black but seconds later the young man's heart pulsed strongly.

400 years ago the Mushroom War brought ruins to the world. No power was left unscathed, even those who did not participate in the conflict and tried to avoid its terrible hatred and death were consumed by it. That war eventually destroyed two continents making them uninhabitable as humans started dying from the mutagen toxins of the mushroom cloud. But humanity got back on its feet thanks to five families that came together to rebuild human civilization and in a hundred years they brought humanity back to how it was before. And not only that but to make sure the events of the Mushroom War don't repeat again they used the power of a fallen star to make a superhuman that keeps peace and balance among the people.

July 19th, 2423
The bright sun shone brightly above a red bridge while many cars honked as the frustrated drivers shouted due to an apparent obstacle ahead hindering their progress.
The obstacle seemed to be a crowd of people getting out of their cars while recording what seemed to be a young man who fell off the bridge.
The bystanders watched and recorded without calling for help, wondering when the heroes would arrive to rescue him.
"Hey, shouldn't someone be saving him about now?" Asked a man with a red beard while having a smile on his face.
"Aaaah young master!" A couple of feet away from the red-bearded man was a maid crying and holding her were two men who seemed to be preventing her from jumping after her young master to save him.
Other people got off from their cars also filming and looking, it was like watching a movie as no one did anything to help.
NO phone call to the emergencies either.
Also amongst the crowd were some people with bird-like heads and other animal heads while the rest of their bodies were like ordinary humans.
"Ooh look he fell into the water..." Someone in the crowd shouted saying, "Scoop" afterward as he went live to broadcast what he just filmed.
And like that, a young man fell to his death while no one cared except for his maid.

20 minutes later after the man fell into the river.
Flying ambulance vehicles filled the area and coast guard boats searched the body but it seemed he was lost forever, never to be seen again, concluding the search 2 days later…
On that day the incident was all over the news.
At the incident scene.
‘It's been two days since that young man was murdered yet there is no evidence pointing this out to being a murder they are just saying it’s an accident because there is nothing else.’ Thought a detective as he surveyed the area.
"What're you thinking about partner?" A man came up to him wearing a trench coat and asked while licking ice cream.
This man had the face of a dog and the body of a man similar to his partner who had the face of a white goose and the body of a man.
Hearing the voice of his partner Detective Goose walked near the water but then stopped seeing something from the corner of his eye.
"I know what happened..." Said the detective waving his feather-like arms.
"Know what?" Detective Retriever asked tilting his head to the side.
"You know how there were traces of someone using superpowers near the place where everything happened?"
"There were?" Detective Retriever sounded confused...
"You weren't listening to what I said the day of the incident when those guys from the special department came to investigate, have you? Well, anyways this has something to do with what happened 17 years ago and that Black Flower."
"Black Flower..." Grawl, Detective Retriever's fur stood with the mention of the name Black Flower.
"Yes her! Let's run some background checks on all his staff, especially the personal maid."
Both detectives put on their hats walking away from the incident scene…
