CHAPTER 1:THE POWER TO GIVE
A guy in a black school uniform was heading back to his house, the sun was setting and he was astonished by the scene. He thought, 'The world is truly miraculous, will my wish ever come true'. He was Dyn an 18 year old highschooler, he was an introvert who would get bullied in his school and faced a lot of discrimination, his safe place was when he was his friends and reading fantasy books and he had one wish, for the world to get powers, magic and a lot of other fantasy things. He was a fanatic of magical power, who would do anything to get it and that scene where he saw the sun setting gave him hope that the world is a magical place and that nothing is impossible. He went home and was very tired so he threw himself on bed. He lived with his father who became an alcholic after he lost his wife and son. He threw himself on his bed and he read some fantasy fiction and he did his homework and went to sleep.
A secret organization in the city of Adrel, where Dyn lived, who worshiped Teum, an evil from a tale who is said to have wrecked havock and chaos 9000 years ago and he was defeated by a person named Sark, a legendary hero in the tale who is admired by a lot of people but very much hated by this organinzation. They were praying for the world to end as they hated the world very much, they were people who thought the world has turned their back on them. As they were praying to a statue which looked like a human but with fox ears and tails and his face frightening, the statue's eyes glowed, a bright white light coming from it. The worshipers, known as believers in the organization seemed happy and they said to the statue to destroy the world for them and the statue started talking, this was a very rare occurrence as the organization has existed for thousand of years it's the first time something like this ever happened and they were very excited. The statue said, "I am the great Tuem and I have heard your cries. I will destroy this world as I have also been betrayed by this world a long time ago and so to fulfill this goal you have to revive me and to do that I will give you my power, revive me my believers! Take the power I will give you, make it grow, give it to other believers and revive me, so I can destroy the world but, know this, if I give you my power there will be people who will rise to stop you" and as he finished saying that a mix of red and black aura started coming out of the statue and it surrounded the believers, they could feel power, none like they have ever seen before, they had super strength, speed and other things but when using this power some believers died, it seemed like they were drained dry of their life but no one paid attention, instead some believers absorbed the bodies of the dead and that seemed to increase their power.

Dyn woke up in the morning and he went out of bed to get ready for school, he didn't want to go but he didn't have a choice. He was in the bathroom, about to brush his teeth but he had forgotten the toothpaste on his bed, he was about to go get it but when he thought about getting it, he thought what would happen if he had powers like telekinesis, he could just get it to come to him without moving at all. He laughed at the thought saying it will never happen but even though he used to try to move things as he had telekinesis before so, he thought why not just try it today as well and he extended his arm in the direction of his bed. He imagined the moving of the toothpaste to him and he closed his eyes awaiting failure and he sighed saying, "I knew it wouldn't work, I wasted my time" and he opened his eyes and he couldn't believe what he saw, the toothpaste was floating in front of him, he was speechless, he couldn't believe what he saw---he had powers!!

Dyn stayed from school that day trying to figure out this power thing. He experimented a lot, not only on telekinesis but other powers he wanted before as well. He tried checking every power he thought of and-- he could use them all. He thought about his friend, Fred, he was his reading buddy, a person who shared the same passion as him, reading fantasies. He thought if he also got powers and wanted to ask him so, he called him.
"Hello, Fred?"
"Oh, hey Dyn, are you alright? Why didn't you come to school today?"
"You won't believe me but.... I got powers", there was a long silence and Fred laughed a lot and Dyn said, "Why are you laughing, I'm not lying, I thought you got powers too because we read fantasies together"
"Who, me?" he laughed again, "Dyn are you sick? what kind of powers would I even have if it was even real?"
"I don't know, maybe you will get telekinesis"
"Oh really, me telekinesis" he laughed again and continued," Ok let's try, here I will try to move the book that is on the table towards me" as so Fred extended his arm to the table and said, "Ok now, book, come to me" a long silence was heard and moments later, "Dyn I think you are right, I have telekinesis" said Fred looking at the book floating in front of him.
As soon as Fred said that to Dyn, Dyn heard some kind of voice in his mind and it said, "You have given your first power to a human". As Dyn heard that he got to his feet and stood up straight, "Who said that? Show yourself" there was no reply he asked again, no reply.
He said goodbye to Fred, who was excited that he got powers for real and hang up on him. He started wondering about the voice he heard and what it said, it was a girls voice and he thought about what she said, 'You have give your first power...." he thought and thought about it over and over and he concluded one thing, his power wasn't telekinesis, flight or reading minds it was----giving powers and to take them away as well. He tried to use telekinesis, he could use it, so he concluded another thing, he can use every power, whether he has given it or not.
