The final of the three is a man named Joey Carmichael, who was weight lifting at the time in a public gym.

On August 19th, Joey was finally able to bench press his newly set goal of 265 pounds and he was extremely ecstatic. Then everyone on Earth got the same message.

“My beautiful children.... It is now for you to take up arms and protect yourselves for I no longer can… If you are still around in after the many years of my slumber I swear to you that I will once again protect you… But for now, Good night and good luck.”

“Huh?” Joey says aloud after wiping his face off with his sweat towel. It looks like everyone else in the room had the same thought, as Joey could see everyone has the same confused face as him.

‘Well atleast I’m not imagining things I guess?’ Joey thinks to himself but soon he can no longer think at all.

Everyone inside of the gym begins screaming in pain and Joey looked around with a terrified look on his face. Some people’s skin began to shake and rumble as it shifted into an entirely new person and some people began to bleed from their eyes and ears, unable to handle their transformations.

The weirdest part of the situation is that Joey felt nothing for the longest time… Until.

“We have chosen you to be our Guardian. With our power we believe you will achieve great things.”

*RUMBLE~*

After receiving an extra message from the unknown being, the floor beneath Joey began to vibrate wildly and shook with the force of a high tier earthquake. Joey is barely able to stand on his feet and keeps his balance with his immense strength for a human.

That doesn’t matter though as the ground beneath Joey contorts and distorts uncontrollably, turning into a liquidy substance. Joey begins to sink into the substance and his face shifts from a terrified one to one of panic.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

As his body sinks, Joey feels as if everything about him is beginning to disintegrate. His body is being absorbed into the Earth and there is nothing Joey can do about it.

Joey tried to struggle yet it had no affect, anything that Joey touched turned into the liquid like substance causing Joey’s eyes to glaze over and he begins to have thoughts of giving up when he could no longer see his waist.

Everyone in the gym is still screaming or going through some other transformation and it even seemed like some people have fallen over, lifeless, and not able to wake up again.

As Joey continues to grit his teeth and bear the pain of vanishing into nothingness, most of him wants to give up, but there is something inside of him burning. Something inside of his soul that is preventing him from just diving head first into the liquid and ending the pain.

Joey looks at his hand as he is now mid chest deep into the liquid and it finally hits him. His soul refuses to give up, and is surging with strength.

Joey squeezes his fists and can feel his muscles begin to bulge and his veins begin to pump with a green thread tracing through them.

Joey reaches down into the liquid to hopefully find something solid to grab on but he finds nothing, but something has changed. The liquid is no longer eating at his body and he has completely stopped going down.

Not wanting to be entrapped within this hellish liquid for much longer Joey runs over all of the things he could do to get out of here. Finally thinking over everything Joey looks at his right fist, which is raging with power and life for unknown reasons.

“Well, it’s better to try and fail then to not try at all.” Joey chuckles, as he finishes his sentence he thinks this plan is absolutely insane and won’t work because why would it?

Pulling his fist into the air, Joey punches down towards the liquid to test the new parameters of his strength but no one could expect what would happen next.

BOOOOOOOOOOM~!

The liquid like ground beneath explodes and along with it the ground is destroyed all the way down to the point where it is a 25 foot deep hole. With Joey being at the top of the whole, he falls straight downwards and lands on his right shoulder.

Expecting pain from the high fall, Joey braces himself but the terrible feeling called pain never came.

Joey, surprised by this outcome and the fact he is no longer sinking in liquid, looks at his body to see if it is all there and feels like he is at his prime.

Getting up, Joey finally takes a look at the hole and sees it is 10 feet wide on top of being 25 feet deep. Looking at his hand Joey laughs and accepts his new found power with open arms.

"Congratulations. You have been granted the power of the planets. Your race is now “Child of the Worlds” and you have evolved into a Rank 7 being.”
