1: In Search for Superpower
I was five years old, I don't remember the day but I know that was the best day of my life. The day I realized my dream and even declare it to my parents "I want to be the greatest superhero". My mother laughed and said "of course dear" and so my career was decided.
Yeah I was inspired by few movies, some comics and maybe 2 or 3 anime series, and my dream is a dream of every other child in the neighborhood but my passion is not something which is short lived, I have big plans for future.
I love superheroes. The ones that hide their identity, the ones that work in the mask of the night and even the one that is born super, I love every one of them.
The path to becoming a superhero is not simple and I have to face the greatest challenge "SUPERPOWER". Yeah, every superhero has a superpower, some get it by luck, some get it by years of training, some create it themselves and for some it's hereditary. To become the greatest superhero I need to have the greatest superpower.
My luck has never been good, so I know I have to create my superpower myself. I am not naive I know all the Superhero rules (I figure out myself).
RULE #1
1. Hide your secret identity.
I started my training away from the watchful eyes of my parent and neighbors. I reduce my sleeping hours and train in the night which mostly includes karate, boxing, Ken-do, fencing, mixed martial arts, and many more.
RULE #2
2. Be a mob.
To create my superpower I read every book that can help me get my greatest superpower. I read quantum physics, biology, chemistry and many more from grade 1 to the higher that I can get. I was able to keep my grades at school above average and make some mob friends.
At the start of my adulthood, I was able to have enough knowledge and strength that all I need is just to wear a super tech suit that I created myself and I can claim myself a superhero (I have even done it and even become quite popular and rich) but I realize.
"I don't want to just become a 'superhero' ",
"I want to become 'the greatest superhero' ".
"What if earth gets attacked by aliens, will I able to protect it?"
"What if World War 3 starts will I able to stop advance nuclear weapons or even fight an army? Or"
"What if a meteor falls on earth will I able to protect humanity from getting extinct?"
My search for superpower has not been completed.
I once again started flipping the pages of books- history, science, science fiction, fiction, religion etc. Search for any kind of help that I can get to create my greatest superpower. I came to a conclusion to create the greatest superpower I need to search for things that really does not exist.
I don't need human stamina or strength to face a falling meteor.
I don't need a strong body or Martial arts to face an entire army of aliens or soldiers.
I need magic, qi, mana, cosmic powers etc. I have made my aim if I want to become the greatest superhero I need to find these things, so what if people believe they do not exist; people believe a lot of things.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
So I started searching for cosmic power. Well if any normal person knows this they will surely question my sanity, well I sometimes ask this question myself too but to be the greatest superhero I have to take this path.
I get myself affixed on the cross every Sunday.
I meditate under waterfall every Monday.
I recite every Buddhist scripture on Tuesday.
I practice yoga on Wednesday.
I do devil calling rituals on Thursday.
I meditate qi technique on Friday.
I take a medicinal bath on Saturday.
I tried everything I can do to get magic, qi, any kind of cosmic power or even demonic power but there is no result. I even visited every pilgrimage site I know and even search for divine artifacts in pharaoh's tomb.
So at the end of the day, I decided to go to the Himalayas and meditate there until I got any kind of power that can make me the greatest superhero. Maybe I could even summon a god.
I meditate on a lone peak for years. Sometimes I do get the feeling there is a strong force field surrounding me but it is short lived.
After a long time, I can feel there is some kind of white cosmic light blinking in my head. I open my eyes and found out that I have a very long white beard like some old wizard in fairy tales, also I am extremely thin and bones are visible from every part of my body, but that's not important. The Important thing is that white light is surrounding me; I can see white light from every part of the world. They are like threads connection everything forming a giant cosmic net compressing and expanding at the rhythm of nature. I am still confused is this cosmic power, magic or something else.
I remove the rags covering me and walk in the snow-covered mountains. There, I suddenly saw many lights are gathering at the particular point not very far away from me. I can feel the lights are calling for me. I then understand 'The whole thing was clear from the start'.
"THIS IS MY SUPERPOWER HA HA HA".
"THIS IS MY POWER"
I sprinted as fast as I can toward the point where the lights are gathering.
"SUPERPOWER"
"SUPERPOWER"
"SUPERPOWER"
The light is coming from a canyon whose depth I cannot fathom and something red glowing at the pit, but who cares
"I WANT MY POWERS"
And so I jump down into the canyon, I can feel the pull of gravity is getting stronger and stronger and the air is getting warmer and warmer like the whole canyon is burning and there I saw the red glowing magma beneath me with white lights entering into it reaching towards a white core.
"My SUUPE—RR—POWE—RR"
Finally, Finally, I found my superpowers. When I woke up I found the net of white light that I can see earlier has become thicker and I can see more details like some kind of light balls are floating in it. The net is contracting and expanding every instant and thus supporting the motion of the balls. I can slightly effect this motion and also the movement of balls. I also can even switch on and off this net view by a little bit of concentration.
I am still confused about how this thing work and what these light balls are (I somehow feel they are really important don't know why?). Now I think I can become the greatest superhero but I cannot protect earth well I can if this place is also called earth as I have reincarnated, well who cares for such minor details.
At the moment I am just a baby of two or three months old.
The interesting fact is that I can understand the language of these people; this is not any language of the earth as lips movement and vocabulary are completely different but I can understand it, weird, minor details may check afterward.
Their culture seems to be medieval Europe and ancient China mix adding some complex other stuff. People here seem to be able to use both magic and qi, good enough.
I seem to be able to use both magic and qi instantly as a baby. Well, my training is finally bearing fruits. This feeling is same as getting affixed on the cross or sitting buck naked under the waterfall or engraving symbols on my body for devil calling ritual, well let's just skip the details.
The sight of glittering particles and wisp of qi dangling and mixing together is itself just fascinating and beautiful and when played together with my superpower light net it gives oneself feeling beyond enchanted and also me a headache if I kept it for long.
Using qi it is possible to strengthen one beyond human capabilities.
Now I will pour the entire free time available for a baby into training and become the greatest superhero.
As I was thinking about being the greatest superhero, the greatest super villain of my life has come to pick me up, my nanny.
"Young master, let me change your cloth, it must be wet"
'YOU!!!' I don't wet clothes, I am a superhero why should I wet my clothes and even I do when I give permission to such a loli to change my cloth, 'Can't someone respect a gentleman here'.
"Come young master"
No, go away go away…I will….I will...
"GyaaaahhaaaaGya"
And so I ended up adding babies into my protection list.
