Part 1
A silence night . Everywhere was darkness even the moon can't be seen because of the cloud. There was nothing living seen on the roads . Light on the lampposts only describes how deep the darkness of the night is . Every people who contribute towards society was sleeping even the stray dogs and cats were not awake . It was clear that it was midnight . Only thieves and other criminals would still be awake . But they can't be careless not even in a night like this . Because heros can pop up from anywhere . So it was safe to say that life was safe in this world .
"Ha Ha Ha" a skinny man aged 25 or more was laughing in a unnatural manner . He put his left hand on his face and started his unnatural laugh like he was some kind of antagonist of a third rate anime or manga.
"SO HOW IT FEELS ?" "NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MY WORTH AND WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY TALENT…DON'T YOU?" He spoke those words while laughing in a weird manner . If anyone saw him from a distance they would reach the conclusion that he is mentally ill and avoid him at any cost or simply try to ignore him . The room could be called empty , there wasn't nothing much which could be called furniture. A table With a computer a quite normal looking chair a bookshelf a bed and a bunch of clothes was kept on the chair there was also empty cans and empty cup noodle bowls on the floor . The room was quite dirty and needed cleaning but the owner was busy laughing and saying weird things to himself like an actor practising his roles . Then he heard a knock on the door and he looked towards the door and suddenly all his energy drained away like some monster had absorbed all of it from him .
He opened the door and saw a beautiful girl aged 18 or less , she had beautiful Innocent face which could skip any man's heart but he could see that her eyes looked down on him , her blonde hair looked quite natural with a face like that . Though blonde hair is quite common but he knew that they were just dyed cause her hair was red yesterday and it practically changes everyday . The pure face was just a fake decoration to deceive man . But even so his heart was beating fast after seeing this beauty in a dress which was just a long white shirt . Even though he couldn't see any part of the female body he knew she was wearing only that shirt and nothing else so she was practically naked in his eyes.
"WHAT KIND OF IDIOT ARE YOU ?"
after hearing those harsh words from that pretty mouth he came to reality and almost like a reflex he said ,
"I am sorry ."
The girl didn't stop there and started yelling like he did a grave sin . Although it's midnight and he shouldn't do his creepy acts in the middle of the night when everyone sleeps he was sure he didn't do that so loud like she is now. The girl sou ted at him ,
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU DONE THIS , HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE GIVEN YOU WARNING. "
He then tried to justify his acts by saying he was practising a role and he was a actor and so on...But both of them knew he was just lying. He is a shut in neet who spends his all day in the room doing nothing . He is just shame to the society and his parents yet the girl didn't go there and said those words instead she said , " You are lucky that I didn't call police but next time I will , so don't make me ."
As those were her last words she left the door and went for her room which was the next of his.
"Huh as like you can call the police cause if you calls police here the police will catch that boyfriend of yours."
With those thoughts on his mind he closed the door silently , he wanted to tell her those words but didn't cause no matter what ,he didn't had the courage to do that.
His name is lock . It's sounds like his parents were lazy when naming him but they weren't . Naming sense is a bit different in this world
because of the talent among humans.

Part 2
Humans (the greatest being in earth) found a new gift which changed the whole world surrounding them . Humans are now much more advanced with new power then their ancestors .
*Talent* is the name of that new power which human got after the long process of evolution .
Flying in the sky , living in the ocean , speaking with animals , breathing fire , super strength all kinds of human fantasy is reality this world is full of characters and power which is only found in fictions in our world so even the common sense is twisted and uncommon from our point of view.
Human child is named after the talent which they are born . Although the name is linked with the talent it doesn't reveal what talent one possess cause no one would want strangers to know their childs trump card . So one can say that it's just a common sense to name their childs after it's talent .
“so I was named after my talent
A deep feeling of regret and depression came from his sigh as he spoke those words to himself .
“In this world where people had the power to live in space , see ultra-Violet rays , could stop bullets , send shockwave……. I have the power to pick lock .”
by saying those words a smile of mockery come to his lips and then he laughed at himself not in that unnatural way from before but in a depressed way like it was the laughter of sadness .
He cast aside those thoughts of his when suddenly he heard a moan of a girl . He put his ear on the wall where the sound was coming and soon realized what his next door neighbor was doing.
“So that's why you were so angry , you bitch” , he muttered . Then he felt he was also aroused by the adult act his next door girl was doing , after all he was healthy man who didn't had the chance to do it with any girl . Yeah he was a 26 years old virgin and also unemployed . “Who does this with a little girl like her I am more into mature woman” he told those words to himself and then reached under his bed there was a cardboard box and in that there was a lot of magazines which referred as adult magazine. Though he was an adult and it was not a problem for him to buy there was a lot of those and one thing is common in those there was no real woman there , all of those contained naked anime girls and it's mystery why he called those –matured woman–.
“Ahhhhh why I can't imagine my wifu ! why that bitch's face always comes to my mind ?” with those frustrated words Lock put his right hand on his forehead and tried to look for answers . Then he console himself by saying that it was because "That bitch was doing it next to my room."
Lock doesn't like real girls cause no matter how pure or how beautiful they are , all of them are rotten to the core.
“what about that girl ” an unspoken agony came to Lock's mind…That girl whom he met in high school “was she also like that ?!”
“no”
“she was pure , so pure that the world doesn't deserve her.”
“I should've stopped it .”
“what would happen if that guy wasn't there?”
“what would happen if I could ………”
“If I had much better talent……”
With those thoughts he felt the urge to sleep.

Part-3
“There's nothing to eat huh….!”
“I guess I have to go outside today ….”
“But what should I buy” “Cup noodles but mother said ‘ you can't live on cup noodles’ guess your son is living quite healthy ”
With those thoughts in his mind Lock put on some decent clothes and saw himself in the mirror his black hair was messy as well as his dress. He wore a light blue T-shirt and a black trouser . Even though his face was kind of handsome but because of his unsleepy and unhealthy habits his eyes has a lot of dark circles and resembles dead animals . he started putting on his shoes he then started to go outside but before it he put on a mask ….It was a white plain looking mask made of paper there were nothing but the eyeholes…he put on that mask because he was afraid of outside afraid of the people whenever he saw people looking at him he couldn't stop feeling nervous . Maybe it was because of the bullying he had to suffer during his young age . But the mask helps he doesn't feel anything when he wears it…..He really doesn't feel anything . And also masks isn't quite uncommon in this world people often put on masks of their favorite heroes and goes outside . Heroes are great deal in this world they are strong individual talent holders . In this world where every one have Somekind of hidden capabilities is also quite dangerous if the power is used wrongly. Like with someone like lock's capability he could robb banks or steal money from houses . So powerful talent holders gets choosen by government as hero to keep the law and order and people's lives safe . The heros of the strongest talents are said to have the power to destroy any kinds of entity that could harm huminity . There are legendary heroes who has power to manipulate fire can manipulate light has the power of water can summon dragons and even the time can be manipulated . Those have the power which have reached beyond human imagination . But they are legendary heroes They are heros among heros . The heros who are normally seen aren't even close to them but much more powerful then Lock . People respects heroes for there contribute to the society but Lock doesn't like them cause heroes are choosen by the power of their talent not for their characteristics .
“what the government is thinking , giving the title of ‘hero’ who posses powerful talents.”
Lock always had the desire to become a hero but he knows he can't be one because of his talent which could be similar to trash in this world.
Many times he finds in the news that people were killed or severely injured because of a hero's carelessness .
“Powerful talent doesn't makes one worthy of responsibility the government should understand it .”
Even though lock couldn't do anything . In this world people respects powerful talent holders which is not Lock .
With these thoughts Lock left the room he didn't take any keys with him nor did he locked the door . After walking away three meters he heard a clack sound and started walking towards the main gate . Lock lives in one room apartment . There's three rooms beside him he doesn't know the other people but he knows the girl next to him cause she often makes a ruckus about him. The rooms are in a row with each other like a school dormitory. And there a main gate.
“is the bitch home ?”
He muttered those word as he was walking beside her room.
“Maybe she's sleeping after all last night was pretty hard for a little girl like her ”
As Lock muttered those words he heard a some noise the girl was shouting something but he didn't paid attention. As soon as he was out of her door range he hard someone fell he looked back there was two half naked man both aged 35 or more .
“who are you ?”
“what you want ?”
“why are you here?”
Lock vaguely understand what happened but they didn't said anything.
Both of them started running and it looked like they have been kept there without their will the girl rushed like a hurricane but those man were already gone. The girl knew the masked man was Lock because she have seen him several times in that mask.
“What? Why you are here ?”
“where are those motherfuckers what happened to them?”
The girl asked lock those questions . And Lock was literally dumbfounded by the event which happened just now.
“what's wrong with you ? Have you lost your mind?”
Lock unconsciously pointed towards the route the old man have taken.
“are you sure ? Are you telling the truth?”
Before Lock answered those questions the girl left
“may be she understood this was nothing to do with me” as Lock muttered he left the place.
Lock's father was a rich businessman named Emeth who had the talent of (Lie Detector). Because of his talent he made his name all over the world and his company was one of the richest in the whole world but all of this became a lie when Lock's father died . After death of his father they found out that all of his father's property was delivered to his second wife who was his personal assistant. Only the place which Lock called his home was given to him and his mother had some money of her own which was given to Lock after her death. He is now living on that money. He doesn't know what will happen to him after it
“even the lie detector doesn't works in front of lust of man.”
Lock mumbled those words to himself while he was walking in the roads.
Lock wants to work. He doesn't want live like this but in this world a talent holder like him didn't have any work…his talent was useless.
“so what's the price ?”
"I see 10 cup noodles and 18 juice , it will be 95 bel”
“95 bel ! Are you kidding?”
He wanted to tell those words to the shopkeeper but didn't ….Lock understood he was being cheated. But he didn't said anything he felt there was nothing he could do . Plus it was only 5 bel so it's not so much.
After that he pass through the counter he was going to go for exit and he saw a suspicious guy .
“what's he doing here?”
“isn't he that criminal who were caught two days ago?”
“or does they just look alike?”
Planty of thoughts like this were on Lock's mind….Until one shouted with suspicion . That guy tried to reach for his pocket.
“Does he have a gun?”
“is he really the guy ?”
The guy Lock's thinking about is a famous villain enlisted on hero's book as the ‘Venomous ’
And as the name suggest his power was related with venom or poison
“ahhhhhh what should I do ? what should I do?”
As Lock was thinking those words Venomous grabbed the other guy and put a gun on his mouth.
In the meantime the shopkeeper put the alarm key and the alarm started all the doors and windows of the shop had been locked in a second . There was no way out .
Venomous was desperately trying to find a way out
He suddenly found a door an exit. For some reason the door wasn't locked the shopkeeper thought maybe it was because of electrical problem but Lock knew why it was .
“the door's open cause I am close to it”
Lock thought those words and in a instant he saw Venomous is going for that door Lock jumped away from the door because he didn't want to get in the way of a criminal. But the instant he got away from the door . The door shut itself There wasn't a second gap in the moment and Lock looked at door and he saw Venomous was smashed like a squashed grape .
Red liquid was coming out from the Venomous's body.The door was made of steel it was made strongly so that even bullets can't penetrate it . Every shop has this kind of system to stop robbery . Although nobody ever seen the door got useful like this bloody way.
“I killed a man !”
“I killed a criminal who had a gun !”
Lock was Panting heavily yet he was calm . Maybe because of the mask he didn't lost consciousness.
The police came after a while , although it was because of Lock Venomous died nobody knew what happened and Lock himself didn't told because he didn't want unnecessary attention.
But from that experience Lock understood a unbelievable truth
“even with this talent I can kill people”
Lock's mask now had a red paint on some part Lock didn't notice because he was busy thinking about today's experience.
