Chapter 1 - System and Being Given Power

As Luther was carried inside the house, he felt himself slowly falling asleep, his child body not allowing him to keep his eyes open any longer.

But before he fell asleep, he saw the living room he was being taken into and was now certain that he was in the house he was raised in as a child in his 'previous' life. He saw a slender man holding two silver-haired twins and a third baby in a cot opposite him.

This was all Luther could make out before his eyelids felt like they were made out of lead and closed on him sending him off to sleep.

Luther opened his eyes to see that he was now in a dark room with a dim light next to him. He looked around and saw that he was in a fairly big cot of his own now but he soon discovered he wasn't alone.

Like Mrs. Tanaka had shown him in pictures, he was in a cot with the twins and the baby who was in the cot earlier.

The two twins were Luther's only friends in his past life and while they were the opposite to an average, dull man like him with talents and abilities beyond what he could imagine, they also treated him like a sibling.

The boy, Daichi, was someone who helped Luther in any way he could. He was Luther's shield against any bullies and advice giver on any of Luther's relationships (Well, the ones he wanted anyway.).

The girl, Ayano, while not being as close to Luther as Daichi was, she still treated Luther like a brother and a close friend and helped him whenever he asked her.

Both the twins were prodigies in terms of both athletic and academic ability and always outshined those around them. But Luther was never jealous of them, nor did he hate them for their natural abilities, they were his family and he cared for them.

Luther slowly moved his head to the left to look at the other baby in the cot.

When he looked at her, he saw her royal blue eyes looking right into his golden ones.

This was Mia, Luther's 'big' sister. Unlike the twins who were good at both physical and mental things, Mia was only good at physical things. But to make up for it, she was even better than the Twins when it came to sports and especially her favorite past time; fighting.

Luther was always tormented by her when he was younger. She used him as a live punching bag so he could give her feedback on her latest techniques and whatnot, but Luther knew it wasn't because she hated him but because this was her own kind of twisted love. To join Luther in his suffering, the twins were also dragged into her 'play' matches.

Luther did hate her for a good majority of his life but by the time he was 15, he'd seen two sides to her and knew that the fighting, harsh and slightly cruel side was just a cover for her more sweet and gentle side.

The latter could be seen right now as the baby Mia crawled over to Luther and started hugging him while giggling like a mad woman.

Luther just lay there and let her do what she wanted as he had more important things to worry about.

What you might ask? Well, the text that's magically appearing in front of him.

Congratulations, Luther! You've awoken the Potential and Talent System!

And while you cannot use this system until you're approximately 15 years old, we've got a little present for you!

The Potential and Talent System, or P.a.T.S for short, has the main goal of pushing Human evolution to the limits. People think that Humans are weak and fragile creatures but that's because they haven't had that long to evolve to their peak forms! This system will help speed it up a little bit!

Because you've already come into contact with 4 Supernatural Entities, the system will give you 4 starter gifts to make sure you can show them how strong a human is!

'Eh? Supernatural Entities? What are you talking about? Are you real? Am I crazy?!'

Despite going to some mystical place before he was reborn, Luther was fully unprepared for something like this. To be told that in the world he lived his boring life in had such things as Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts, and Demons was something that pushed his fragile mind to its limit.

We know that this may be troubling to you, Luther, but please calm down. Those 3 babies around you are Supernatural Entities, how else could they pull off the feats they did in your past life? And that Mrs. Tanaka is also a Supernatural Entity, as to how do you think she controlled 3 babies with superhuman prowess?

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

You must throw away what you think you once knew and accept the world you're now in. You wished to be better, the means have been given to you, but to become better you must also have a goal; to survive in this cruel Supernatural World.

Your Gifts will be given now...

*Ding!*

Entry Level - Fighting Talent (Hand-to-hand)

Entry Level - Fighting Talent (Knife-Wielding)

Before Luther could say anything more, a warm and soothing energy entered his body and sent him back to sleep.

During his sleep, the baby Mia got bored and rolled back over to her side and slept herself, not knowing the changes happening to her new favorite thing.

4 streams of energy entered his body. One went and covered his entire body and slowly started changing it, while the other 3 went into his brain and started changing things in there as well. When some things in Luther's brain were changed, little streams went from his mind to his body and changed things there as well.

The body energy was making everything about his body better. His bones were stronger and more resistant to damage, his muscles could exert more power and resist more pressure, his tendons and ligaments grew tougher but at the same time more flexible.

Al his organ's functions were put into overdrive after overdrive until they had left the realm of what a human should be able to do.

Right now, even as a barely 1-year-old child, he could probably overpower a 5-year-old fairly easily.

After a long time, the changes were complete and a new Luther was made.

His skin was pale but not sickly so, more like precious jade kind of white. His short scarlet red hair was luscious looking and soft and looked like any woman would be jealous of it. As his eyes blinked open his golden eyes seemed like luminescent lamps, they were pure and without impurities at all.

His face, while incredibly young and immature, still carried a feeling that it would grow into a face of an incredible lady killer who would capture an untold amount of young maidens' hearts.

'PaTS, while I'm not going to have a go at you for suddenly doing that, can you tell me what the hell did you just do?'

I gave your Mind and Body potential well beyond even the finest Human Athletes, along with Talent well beyond even the best hand-to-hand and knife-wielding combatants.

'I kinda guessed that much, but what does this Entry Level mean? Are there better versions of these abilities?'

To answer both your questions, Entry Level is one of the six levels that a Talent or Potential can belong to. The five levels being:

-Entry

-Intermediate

-Advanced

-Superior

-Peak/Perfect

-Omni/Absolute

'Okay, but what do each of those mean?'

Okay, let's start with the Potential part.

Entry is the Enhanced Level, it makes it so the user's physical abilities are above natural members of their species, beyond what can be emulated via natural training and with little to no maintaining. This entails that you will now be faster, stronger and overall superior to fellow members of their species, without being obviously supernatural

Intermediate is just a more potent version of Entry Level.

Advanced, is the Superhuman Level, the user's physical abilities will become glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally physically superior over other beings in their species because their capabilities are far beyond natural levels, making them immensely stronger, faster, and more durable than regular beings can achieve by seemingly any method of training.

And that's all I can say, the levels above that are sealed off until you reach Advanced in at least 3 things.

'So, I'm now gonna be stronger than those of my species. So Human's right?'

Well, yes, but at the same time, no. You see Luther, you're special. As much as you want to deny it, you've always felt something in you, right? Like a fire of some kind that could make you better but sadly you never had the right fuel for it, so you could only watch as it continued to wither, right?

Luther was shocked at what the system said, but guessed it would know as it was something on an Omniscient Beings side. It was right, he had felt a fire in his chest ever since he was a kid but he could never figure out what it was and he never knew how to use it so he just forgot about it.

The fire in his chest was the reason why he accepted all this nonsense so easily because a part of him knew there was a part to the world that he didn't know about.

Luther let out a sigh that seemed weird coming from a baby.

'So...what am I specifically?'

Oh, you're a Human, outright, otherwise, how would you get a System centered around Human Evolution? What you are Luther, is a Monster Slayer. A branch of Humanity which trained themselves to the very limits and when they were there at the top, they saw a whole new world of mystical origins.

At first, they were thrashed about by creatures but after a certain time, they started to evolve in a way which scared all the other monsters and creatures of the supernatural world.

Luther could sense the pride in the system's voice and found it weird but guessed that a System centered around Human Evolution must take a lot of pride in strong Humans. His curiosity got the better of him when he heard the last part of what the system said,

'What did they do?'

They evolved to kill the monsters.
