As James was walking home he saw an old lady struggling to cross the street with heavy bags while a truck was heading full speed towards her. He rushed forward and pushed her out of the way but the truck crushed his legs in the process. Ever since then he has lived helping others while in a wheelchair.

A few years later he died and found himself floating in an empty space with a ball of energy. 

"Hello my son" the ball said to James in a calming masculine voice. "For living life taking care of others I'll grants you one unique skill for your next life."

He thought long and hard but there is only one thing he wanted.

"I wanna be able to walk again."

The god was stunned at his answer and asked "you just want to walk?" 

"Yeah" 

"Fine I'll give you that skill but I don't think this is enough so I'll modify it a bit" said the god.

"Thank you so much" James said and shortly afterwards his vision went black and he couldn't hear anything.

"W-where am I!?"

Suddenly a bright light engulfed his vision and he heard a child crying

"W-what?" He looked around and found himself in a room with four people. One woman, a man and two boys

He realized that he is the crying infant.

He felt a very comforting warmth on his body as he is embraced by a woman who looked tired.

He figured she was his mother.

A few minutes later and he was playing with his two brothers. He suddenly stood up and walked surprising his brothers.

He suddenly fell with a look of horror when he remembered his conversation with God.

He thought he was only gonna walk when he was old enough and he wanted to figure out the limits of his power.
