Hello world, if you are reading this that means my transmission got successfully sent to another Earth similar to mine. First let me explain my Earth’s current predicament: A Mad-scientist got on the crazy notion that parallel worlds truly existed and went on a rampage trying to connect my world to yours and the machine known as the vortex alignment accelerator, exploded while trying to aligned my world to yours, to connect them if you will, and because of that massive radiation was released from the accelerator.

Only it wasn’t just limited to the city. It went and spread to the whole entire world. At first, everyone thought it would only affect the city but then the radiation caused massive wind and tornadoes, and I guess, that just carry it to the whole world, and because of that, everyone got superpowers, or at least everyone that survived....

My parents and I survived, we all got superpowers, but then again, if the whole world got superpowers, you would think it would become a typical thing, but no. Banks collapse because people were stealing money, villains from all around the world started rampaging. It is as if that most people were hoping to get superpowers to get away with everything.

With the way my world is turning, I am sending this single transmission to you as a warning, beware of mad-scientists but if you want powers then don’t mind them, trust me, powers are cool, but you probably wouldn’t want that, would you?

Anyway, with the world turning like that, I decided to take the lead role, and I know what you might be thinking, why would a neet that does nothing but play video games all day, read manga/light novels and watch anime, suddenly decide to take a lead role like a protagonist? Well, the answer is simple, THIS IS THE FREAKING REAL WORLD, THIS ISN’T A MANGA OR ANYTHING, IF I DON’T TAKE THE LEAD ROLE, THEN WHO WOULD, and besides, I read light novels similar to what’s going on, so I am going to used my otaku knowledge to give me a slight advantage against the average Joe.

First thing first, I had my parents and neighbors (well, the neighbors we trusted) used metal to build a wall alongside our neighborhood to keep people, unless government officials, away, until a solution can be found against all those superpowers villains wreaking havoc and chaos in the country. We made sure the wall was high enough that you would need to have a superpower that allowed you to jump seventy meters up, or be a freaking Titan from (Attack on Titan) to get to my neighborhood.

Do you think I might be a bit crazy? Well, that’s what my neighbors and my parents thought too, but guess what? They came begging my forgiveness three days after the accelerator exploded, three days after we all got our powers. That’s right, prisons got destroyed, government had so many emergency messages, in fact, some government official was even killing people on Live TV for that matter.

Yeah, everyone was grateful for my intuitive genius idea (I kept that my idea came from Attack on Titan a secret). You are probably thinking, wow, I am such a good person, and you are probably expecting me to be some cool looking protagonist ready to go on an adventure and defeat bad guys, but the truth is, with my superpower, even though i really could. I am not going to do that (not only do my parents not want me to go outside (get the joke, outside, like in Attack on Titan)), I myself have no reason to help others, as long as my parents are safe. I’ll only protect this small neighborhood area. I am going to make this place a safe place for everyone living in it. That’s all, and besides, why would I go outside and help people, everyone has superpowers help yourself, and also I would prefer to just watch anime online than do all that work, which is exactly what I am going to do right after I finished this transmission.

So as you can see, the radiation did more for me than most people. I am not sure if it’s because of my exact position when the accelerator exploded (I was in my room reading a popular light novel), but it changed my looks completely. By change I mean, I am hot. Like really hot. You are probably thinking, just how ugly was this 16 years old kid? Well, let me answer that, I wasn’t ugly-ugly, I mean, I wouldn’t say good looking, but I wouldn't say ugly. You know, I had average looks. And no, no girls confessed their love to me when I had average looks like all those guys in anime, but I must say, now that I am hot, the world feels different, especially the way the girls in my neighborhood are looking at me.

By the way, as you can see in this transmission, I have long brown hair with light blue eyes that you might be able to see how beautiful they are in the sunset. I am six-feet tall. Hey, I am not trying to brag or anything, I was like that since before the accelerator explosion. My dad is like that too, you know, so I guess, my tallness runs in the family.

I’ll tell you one good thing that happened from the accelerator explosion, besides getting superpowers. NO SCHOOL. EVER. With the way the world has turned right now, the probability of me going back to school is NEVER. That’s right, since you are in a parallel world you are probably forced (I mean, have to go to) school every day, right? Well, if that’s true, then I beat you to it. The ultimate NEET OTAKU DREAM, NO EDUCATION, NO EMPLOYMENT, NO TRAINING DREAM!!!!!!

Yeah, I am a winner, I am so lucky. No school. That’s right, schools are shut down, and even if schools weren’t, nobody would send their kids there, I mean, the world have become a crazy place. It is now survival of the fittest, (or what I like to call it, Who’s the Otakuest of all). I am using my otaku way to help my neighborhood strive, well, when I get the motivation, which the last time I got any motivation was when I realized that bad people could be heading here, so I told my neighbors and my parents to build a wall. (Yeah, that was a month ago). So far everything is going well. They were some people that try to get in the area, but we did not open the gate for them. The whole neighborhood heard screams and then the voices of the people begging us to open the gate and let them in, disappeared.

I know, you are probably thinking we did a bad thing, well, I was thinking that too, but then, I realized the people that were trying to get in were people with illusions ability. How do I know when no one else knew? Well, it has something to do with my power or to be exact, powers.

Anyway, people would try cheap tricks to get in. Thankfully we haven’t met a person that can damage the wall to a significant level yet, but some have tried, but most gave up and move on.

I’ve been getting lazier and lazier the past few days, I am not sure why, but i think it have to do with all the free-time that I have with no school and everything, (Yeah, that’s right, I just wanted to drop that sentence in there, just to see your piss off face when you have school or have to go to work, and I don’t), but anyway, I been so lazy that I couldn’t get motivation to go down the stairs from my room to the kitchen to eat dinner with my family. My mom had to bring the food to my room. Yeah, that’s how lazy I have become.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

At first, my parents would tell me to stop being lazy and try to get more motivation (you know that same speech, if you are an otaku, you probably heard hundreds of time), but I just told them, remember when I gave the idea for the wall, and my parents were like:

“Yes, sure” said my parents at the same time. “That’s when we realized how smart you are, for coming with that idea in such a time of panic and chaos when no one really knew what to do”

“Well, I get my ideas from long hours of stimulating my brain by watching special programs and doing reading to increase my knowledge” I stated, trying to keep a straight face. “So when you see me reading manga or watching anime, it’s just that I already did those special readings already, so, I am just relaxing my brain for a bit. Trust me you will see some beautiful changes in this neighborhood area soon”

“Really?!!” asked my dad with a shocked expression that he tried to cover up. “I always thought you were lazy and didn’t care about anything other than watching anime, as long as anything doesn’t affect you directly, you wouldn’t do anything. Guess I was wrong about you, son, my beautiful son, Tom”

What? were you expecting me to be one of those protagonists with really cool names or nicknames? Don’t kid yourself. I have a very common name.

“Wow, that accelerator really brought good change to you at least, Tom” said my mom. “I am expecting great things from you. I waited so long to say those very words”

“Oh shit…” I started to say until I noticed my parents staring at me. “Of course, leave it to me. You two don’t have to worry about anything”

And that’s how the day went by. Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting my words to have such an effect on my parents, and the worst of it all, they seem really taken by what I said, I even noticed some tears in my dad’s eyes, and my mom was so happy. I guess with coming with the idea of making a wall to protect the neighborhood, my social standing in my family have improved, and with that improvement comes responsibility. Shit, I messed up didn’t I? What I was trying to do was to let them think I was working hard, but that I was just going to continue watching anime, read manga/light-novel all day and all night nonstop, but now, my own plan of tricking my parents backfired on me.

At first I thought they said all those cheesy Hermione Granger cheesy lines on purpose, but it seems it wasn’t. My parents just had to throw something straight out of Hermione Granger’s series at me. Literally.

That whole I expect great things from you line, directly from Hermione Granger’s series. Since you are in a world like mine, you should about Hermione, the protagonist in a very popular series, it also became a movie series as well. Well, the greatest line in it is, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Man, not a big fan of that line, but I did enjoy everything in the movies though, and how Hermione got the guy, Harry, we all knew since the first movie that it was going to be Harry, but man, everyone left the cinema with a smile in their face. Those were good times.

But anyway getting back to the main point, my parents should have said something from Android-Man-Spider. Since you are in a similar Earth like mine, you probably heard of Android-Man-Spider, you know the movie with that android that got bit by a spider and since he has human DNA, he could use spider webs, and the line in that movie was: With Great Spider Webs come Great Cleaning Up after Them.

You know that line, man, those were good times, that line made everybody laughed, it was keeping it real. Because you know the Android decided to be a hero, and started using the spider-webs all over the city trying unsuccessfully saving people and stuff (Yeah, that’s right, unsuccessfully, not a typo, that was the whole point of the movie), but guess what? Someone had to clean all those spider web lines all over the city, and that’s where the line come from.

Seriously I would love it if my parents said that line, I’ll just be like, yep, that’s me, flying around all relaxed around the city, and there is some old guy stuck with a low-paying job of removing those spider-webs from my failed attempts of saving people.

That movie was hilarious though. It was a big hit. I mean it was so ridiculous, some random guy (well android) trying to save people in the city with spider-webs? Where would you see this? I mean spider-webs? Really? Is that even sturdy to hold someone?

You would think in a world with so many individuals with powers someone would decide to be Super Hero, don’t kid yourself. If you had superpowers just like everyone else, and the world and society haven’t adapted to people having superpowers, what would you do? What would you do if you knew you could get away with anything? Would you kill someone? Don’t you have that person that if you could punch them you would, well, here’s your chance. (my bad, I meant here’s my chance, there was this kid at school that was being bully, and I couldn’t do anything about it, now, I am going to, oh, don’t worry, the bully’s power is the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes, nothing, I can’t handle with my superpower).

You are probably wondering what superpower I got. Well, let me give you a hint. I got the craziest and wildest power you have ever seen. I am not invincible like Super-Android-Man (you probably know this guy since you are from the same world as me, you know the guy from planet Kryptonoid), nor am I strong like him, or be able to shoot lasers.

But my power is the coolest of them all, and that’s not even the craziest part. Everyone in my planet have only one power, they may have many skills with them, but only one power. For example, having the power to control metal, you can use that in many different ways, such as using the metal to kill people or make stuff, stuff like that.

But as for me, I am not like that at all. I don’t have two separate skills, but two totally different abilities, that once used together, make me the most feared and powerful entity in this new world, that is as long as my parents allowed me to use my powers. Technically, I didn’t tell my parents that i have two powers, to their knowledge, I only have one.

So, enough strolling, allow me to show you what my powers are, and the reason why when they work together, no one is capable of defeating me…..Why, I am most likely, the most powerful individual in this planet....
