Off in the distance, we hear the faint sounds of explosions and


    screaming. Many people must also be experiencing this new phenomenon.


    I get closer to the door window to watch and observe the outside


    world, and as I peek my head out the curtains, the only way to


    describe this event is a dream.


    There were a couple of people floating in the skies, I barely saw


    what seemed to be someone running at Mach Speed in the street,


    causing a mini shock wave in the process. A wall of fire suddenly


    arose and immediately was put out. The ground deformed, causing


    spikes coming from the floor—almost piercing another person who was


    testing his power on the street.


    Surprisingly, there weren''t any cars driving on the street, which


    makes sense considering the situation. Trying to escape from all of


    these people—it''s equivalent to running through a temple''s tunnels


    that have traps with fire, arrows, swinging axes, and sharp spikes. I


    wasn''t ready to go outside and go through a death run.


    "Honey, look at this!" Says mom while showing off a crystal


    cup in her left hand and a crystal ball on the other. "I just


    imagined a ball, and it was made in my hand! The cup took a little


    longer, but it also worked!" She said with excitement.


    Suddenly, a long stone beam shoots


    at me, and I immediately freeze from fear. The beam hit the wall


    hard, making cracking noises. After I took my attention off the wall,


    I noticed my right arm was bleeding, and the sharp stone barely


    touched me. "Uhh... Oops," Kazu says with his hand behind


    his head.


    Mom walks up to Kazu, grabs him by


    his ear, and brings him down to her level, "Are you


    insane!?"—She yells at him with anger"—"You almost


    killed your brother!"


    "I''m sorry, it was an accident, I swear! I just pointed my arm


    forward, and a stone flew out!" Kazu explains himself. "Be


    careful next time!" She warns. "Sorry."


    Kazu walks towards me with a worried face, I


    use my shirt to block the bleeding while I look at the cracked wall


    with the beam still sizzling from the impact. <i>If


    that thing didn''t miss, I would''ve died in an instant.</i>


    "Ryuujiro! I''m so sorry! Please forgive me!" He says with


    genuine tears. I''m not the type of person who can get mad, you might


    say I got a screw loose in my brain, but when I saw him cry like that


    I immediately laughed at the idea that this dude is 6 years older


    than me. Kazu was 25 years old, and I 19.


    "Ok, I forgive you, but if


    you keep crying, I might start making fun of you," I say with a


    chuckle, to which he slowly turns from crying to laughing and crying.


    After we both calmed down, he asked the


    question we all wanted to know: What<i> is


    my power? </i>"I don''t know


    yet. But I have a clue." I say while thinking about the naked


    lady I left in my bedroom. "Oh? What is it?" Mom says


    curiously. I''m not sure I want to tell them just yet, after all, I''m


    not sure if that lady has <i>anything</i> to


    do with my powers, she could be a drunk girl I met at a bar...? The


    more I think about it, the more true it seems.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    The power to create another human is just absurd! After all, all I''ve


    seen so far is what people would call "elemental" powers.


    Like the abilities to manipulate and control fire, air, earth, and


    water, there are also unique ones, such as the person I saw going at


    ultra-fast speeds. But creating a full human? It didn''t seem likely.


    Although... these powers are still new, and I haven''t seen what they


    can offer. I wonder if this phenomenon is worldwide or just here in


    Tokyo.


    "Let me go see something first. You can both get used to your


    new powers while I try to find mine." I tell them before going


    into my room and locking the door. Now then. I slowly grab the


    blanket from the top and bring it below just enough to see her face.


    ''Why isn''t she awake yet?'' I think to myself. The more I look at her,


    the more she seems similar to me, but as a female. I use my fingers


    to open her eyes to see if she has the same brown eyes I have, to


    notice that she has gray, lifeless eyes. ''Wait. Lifeless? Is she


    dead?!'' My heart quickly started beating at the thought that I


    might''ve caused the death of a girl in my room, I quickly put two


    fingers on her neck to check her pulse. <i>Lub


    dub lub dub. </i>Phew, she seems to


    be alive.


    Maybe she just has really rare


    gray eyes. I guess it''s time to wake her up. I grab her by the


    shoulders and start shaking her from side to side. "Hey, wake


    up!" Nothing happens.


    "If you don''t wake up, I''m going to pinch you!" Nothing


    happens.


    "Look, you asked for this!" I use my right and left hands


    to pinch her cheek. All I get is a funny face.


    ''Why isn''t she waking up?'' I think to myself, to which then I sit on


    my knees beside the bed, holding her hand.


    ''Maybe this has to do with my powers?'' I absurdly think to myself. I


    decided on a different approach this time. What if she is like a


    guardian I can summon and I can pour my magic for her to be


    functioning? It would certainly explain why she was in my bed when I


    woke up this morning.


    Feeling more optimistic this time, attempted to force magic into the


    lady—'' Wait that sounds wrong...'' Also, I have no clue how to


    control magic, or even if I possess magic in the first place. I still


    feel very much like a normal human.


    Deciding I needed to somehow put out my energy, I started grunting as


    if I needed to go to the bathroom. ''This isn''t working!'' My brain


    aches. So, I instinctively start meditating a little to calm my mind.


    ''Man, why is this happening to me?


    Why can''t life just be simple? Ouch—" the wrapping around my


    bleeding arm stung for a second—"maybe I should rest a little


    more so the wound can heal a little more."


    I started thinking back to what I was doing yesterday. A day ago, I


    was just playing a game with my online friends, and now life has


    decided to throw all this stuff at me without warning. I''ve never


    even had real friends I could count on. I wonder if I''ll be able to


    finish making that mod menu I was paid to make.


    ''What am I even saying.''


    After I''ve decided that I''ve had enough rest, I


    open my eyes. <i>Wait.</i> Why


    am I looking up at my ceiling? I move my eyes around to see the


    blanket on top of me. ''Why am I in the bed? Where did the lady go?


    Did she wake up?'' Many questions entered my head, to which all were


    answered after I turned my head to see <i>me.</i>


    ''What''s the


    meaning of this? Why am <i>I </i>seeing


    myself meditating?'' I say to myself, anticipating the truth. I raise


    my arms, <i>don''t tell me. </i>I


    bring my hands down below the blanket.
