Che. I forgot to shut my alarm clock off yesterday.
Gah. I reach out to the object of my annoyance and shut it down.
Silence. Lovely silence.
Dammit. I can't sleep anymore. Well that's why I bought that alarm. It wakes you up real good. Sighting I get up half way and sit on my bed. The clock show's 6:30 am.
Puuuh. Just great, what do I do now? Normally I would get ready to go to school but that isn't necessary anymore. Training though might be a good idea and afterwards I'll probably look for John and ask him some questions. This time without snapping though.
Yes, I'll go out jogging today. While I might not practice any martial arts I still keep my body quite fit.
I put on a loose pair of trousers, my gym shoes, a t-shirt and a jersey. Silently I make my way out of my room. Don't want to wake any of the other five up.
The hallway is empty which isn't that surprising.
Doesn't matter anyways. Let's just get back to jogging for now. Luckily since we count as special cases we have a lot more freedom. After having gained control over our "instable" power we officially gained the trust of the principal. It allows us to be able to leave the school grounds. Even without a guard. Though a whole squad of highly trained soldiers would come rushing after us if we dared to not come back at a certain agreed time and they would shoot to kill in all cases.
I slowly walk out of the front door of our barrack. The air is fresh right now but considering that it's only around 6:45 it's not that surprising.
Not wanting to jog around the school grounds I make my way towards one of the gates.
The whole campus is located just outside of a city. None of us actually know where we are in the US. The only thing that was told to us was that it's name had been Laconia.
The military area is divided into four major parts.
The first being the actual military grounds for the personnel of the esper and suppression squadrons. They had everything there ranging from all sorts of vehicles to fighter jets.

The second part was a training facility. It was mostly a huge open area where the soldiers were trained in various weaponry. This was the biggest section as it took up more space than the other three combined.
The third portion was a research facility. Unlike the other parts it was made up of almost only buildings that looked like hospitals from far away. None of us really knew what went on in those. And neither did we want to. It was for science and research so it was probably something dangerous anyways.
Lastly there was the actual school grounds. This was the section where the students legally where allowed to stay. It consisted of the main school, three barracks and of course some sport fields.
The parts two, three and four all were connected to the first. It had been a counter measure so everyone that wanted to leave the area as a whole would have to go through the military first.
I was currently making my way over to the training section. As said before as one of the special students I was allowed to move freely between the different portions.
Theoretically I could ask for access of the research facility but I don't think I was that special to be allowed to go there.
As of now I was happy to get some space in the furthest corner of Section 2.
Getting to the gates leading to Section 1 I pull out my ID card and hand it to the guard there.
Without saying anything he checks something on his computer and waves me through.
"Don't do anything stupid and be back at 2."
Then I'm through. Don't want to spend too much time at the sleeping barracks of the normal soldiers though, so my legs carry me to another gate leading to Section 2.
The same sight greets me and I repeat the same process as before.
Again the guard waves me through after telling me to be back at 2.
Haa, most of the different guards don't know me or the others. What they do know is that there are a few individuals that have the ID to move in the whole area. I literary only use it to exercise outside. Since as said before I don't want to arouse too much suspicion by asking for access of the science labs.
Looking around me I can spot some soldiers already being trained by their superior. This is always fun to watch as they always get shouted at and get insulted pretty badly. I'm still not sure why this happens.

I walk to one of the fields used for long jogs or marathons. It has a circular pattern and is around 15 miles long.
After a small warm-up I attach as much weight to myself as possible while still keeping the ability to run. At the moment that is around 4 tons. Yea, I've gotten pretty strong.
With the added challenge I slowly start to move forward.
It feels sluggish at first but after accelerating my movements stabilize. While running with that much weight added to you it feels as if you're an unstoppable force. Your turn radius is immense though. I smile through the wind that flows through my short hair.
This was something I liked. Just being able to run freely for as long as I could. Without getting stopped, without anything in your way.
About half way around the whole course I pass by a whole squadron of soldiers trotting by in a slow run.
I must've looked pretty crazy to them due to the smiling face. Also it actually looked as if I was sprinting along the course. Some of them undoubtedly have seen me before but most of them haven't and so it causes quite a commotion since 20 highly trained individuals just where overtaken by what seems to be a young girl.
Approximately I'm probably running at the speed of a bike during the Tour de France. And that with 4 tons none the less.
I feel like I'm on top of the world.
In the distance I can make out around ten people in black uniforms jogging in the distance.
Never seen them before.
Smiling deviously I pick up my pace to catch up to them. They seemed like some kind of special corp. It's always fun to show them their limits.
They too are running at quite the speed as such it takes a bit of time to catch up to them.
Just as I'm about to overtake them one of them turns her head around. A small face looks at me with short brown hair of the same fashion as me. Her eyes widen in shock for a split second before she shouts something to her comrades.
Then surprisingly they start to go faster.
Confused I too match their speed again and start running besides them. All of them wear long sleeved clothes covering every part of their limbs.
Something seems off but I can't quite catch what it is.
Who cares anyways. I keep accelerating sending a challenging gesture at the squad behind me. Girl's gotta have fun at some point right?
I reach my top speed which I can keep up for around half an hour.
HA, I showed those gu-
"HEY GIRL, HOW COME YOU'RE SO FAST?!?!!"
What?
Somebody had just shouted at me. From behind.
Che!
Turning my head I can see eight people running behind me, seeming not in the slightest stressed by the insane speed.
"SAME QUESTION BACK AT YOU!"
I shout at the brunette just behind me.
To be able to keep up with me. Espers maybe? That'd be bad.
Who cares. If I mess up Lane will have to do more paperwork.
Smiling at the inconvenience for Lane I lift one ton off my shoulders and start sprinting to full speed in seconds.
Let's see if you can keep up now.
I look back again. This time the surprise in the soldiers faces is sugar for me.
HA
Then something incomprehensible happens. The facial expression of the woman in front of me changes. From surprise to a challenging smile. With that she lowers her upper body to the ground and starts flinging herself forward with her arms.
ha...ha...ha...
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!
She overtakes me in a matter of seconds. After running a small amount of time she stops. Leaving a huge mark in the earth stating the speed she had just run at.
Extending one arm towards me she waits for me to frontally run into her. What is this?
FINE if she wants a challenge I'll give it to her.
Keeping the weight of three tons I charge towards her and prepare my cells for the impact that will either knock her out directly or crush the arrogant attempt to stop me.
Maybe I've been the one being arrogant.
Our clash comes closer only a few seconds separate us now.
Moving into a stance of a football player running through the defense of an enemy team I wait for her to react.
Nothing. She doesn't react.
FUCK IT.
I jump towards her to reach my own possible max speed at that moment. Literary every single cell in my body is prepared for this moment, for the crash.
Then I notice it. At the last moment I realize something.
Why are her legs getting bigger closer to the ground and why do they have a rectangular from?
Why is she wearing gloves?
AND MOST IMPORTAINTLY, WHY DOES SHE HAVE METAL PARTS ALONG HER NECK?!!?!?!!

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
