One day, I woke up with super powers.

In lieu of your typical super strength, super speed or flight, I got something a little more novel.

It didn't make me super overpowered like getting a system, stopping time or even returning things to zero.

No, I didn't get anything similar to those things, not even on the same level.

But, to compensate for the lack of quality, I guess god or whatever being decided to hand me powers gave me quantity instead.

...

Usually, my headaches were minimal and rare; I could function without a problem and sometimes I didn't even feel it.

But recently they became more frequent and painful.

The rain pounded heavily on my window as I took a sip from my cup of hot chocolate, my head throbbing while browsed the internet. Usually, coffee in would be the norm for adults, but I honestly couldn't say I was one myself despite looking like it.

This was my usual habit before going to work, as well as after work.

I guess you could call me a loser, huh? I still did the same things I used to do when I was little, just this time I had a little more responsibility, like jobs and bills and stuff like that.

I still played video games a lot, still got caught up on new cartoons, anime's, manga's and the like. There hasn't really been a change about me.

I really still think of myself as a teenager. Whether that was a good or bad thing in the future I didn't really know, but right now I enjoyed doing the little "childish" things that I used to do, and that's all that mattered.

I shifted my eyes from the screen towards the window. I focused on the rain droplets themselves as I felt the positive emotions blooming and began to contemplate.

To me, a day like this was great, but somewhere out there was probably a homeless person shivering and wet without protection from the storms harsh winds.

I'm not a very conscientious person, in fact I'm a selfish person which is very evident with the way I live, but sometimes I can't help but feel like I need to do something good for the world, and make everyone feel and view the way I always have; which is to sum it up, be content and happy 80% of the time.

It'd be great if everyone in the world was like - because then you wouldn't have to worry about anything at all, we could all then just work towards space exploration or something, which would be pretty cool.

But that was obviously not the case, and probably never will be.

I've seen a lot of things pop up on the internet that reduces my faith in humanity, and it might even get as close to having none at all - but I'd probably kill myself before that ever happens.

Somewhere out there, there are probably evil organizations lurking in the shadows, doing all sorts of inhumane things.

It'd be naïve to think there aren't, because there are always people with Cheshire smiles plastered across their face in the corner of your eyes; so it's never a good idea to let your guard down.

It makes me furious that such evils are committed daily, and what further infuriates me is that I can't do anything about.

Sure, I could probably try to get rich and powerful and at least help a few people, or a group of people like the homeless but I simply didn't have the brain power to do so.

That's why I'll just continue to be selfish and keep to myself. I'll enjoy my life for those people who can't enjoy theirs - I apologize everyone, please forgive me. Hopefully, if there is a next life, you can enjoy yours as well.

I stopped thinking, clearing my mind because it was a waste of energy thinking about things like this.

I hadn't noticed it, but I could clearly see the rain droplets. Not like the usual blurred and blotted sky, no, I meant that I could see the literal millions of droplets.

My eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat; I was astonished to say the least. It was beautiful but terrifying at the same time.

Breathless, I charted my eyes from left to right, confirming that what I was seeing was real.

My first thought was that maybe my eyes were just a little better today, but before I could rationalize what was going on the throbbing in my skull exponentially sped up and I felt a vomit-inducing headache in just a few instances.

I then collapsed on the floor, taking my warm mug of hot chocolate down with me.
