Arc 46.5 - SS #2 - Norse God

Edward (Eddie) Hunt. He was born in New Orleans, United States of America. He was born on the 6th of June 1999.

He was born into a caring family. He did not have any siblings, but at least he had loving parents. His parents looked after him and loved him.

A few years passed and the parents noticed many problems with him. Their son could not really walk properly. He also could not see properly with his left eye. Besides that, he had speech problems as well.

They were pretty rich, so they took him to many doctors, but no one could help him. In fact, when one doctor did a thorough examination of Edward’s body, he found out that Edward had a weak heart, too.

However, his parents loved him dearly. They tried everything they could to help him, but no one was able to help.

When he was 6 years old, he and his parents were coming back from a doctor. His mother was driving and his father was sitting in the passenger seat. And Edward sitting at the back seat. It was a small convertible.

His parents were whispering to one another, but Edward was playing on a PSP.

“Do we know anyone else who can help him?” His father said.

“No.” She paused. “Maybe we can take him to another country… but I don’t know anyone who might help.”

“We need to focus on fixing his heart problem. Sure, the others are important as well, but his heart condition is the most dangerous. It will cause him many problems in the future.”

“...”

They were both thinking about how they could help Edward, but could not come up with any answers.

As they were moving on a busy street, they were hit by a truck.

As his parents were sitting in the front seat, they were both killed immediately.

However, Edward was immediately taken into a nearby hospital.

After a few weeks, he woke up from the coma only to find out that things were even worse for him now.

His right leg had been cut off from his thigh. He could not see with his left eye. It was due to the fact that something small had smashed into his left eye. And his heart condition had worsened.

To add even more pain, he found out that his parents were killed too.

A few weeks later, he was discharged. He was taken in by his uncle.

For a few years, he lived with them. Things were not best between them.

At school, he was being bullied by other similar kids. At home, he was being bullied by his cousins and his uncle or his wife did not do anything to help him. They all thought of him as a ‘burden’.

He was pushed into a darkness known as loneliness. He did everything to save himself, but nothing saved him. After a while, he found something that helped him get through the bad days and that was fiction. He buried his face into books, comics, manga and wasted all his time watching anime, films and TV shows. That was his life.

Once he turned 18, he left their house and started living by himself in a small apartment.

“Well, at least I can be myself in here.”

In his new home, he lived the way he liked. He got a part-time job for himself to help him a little and used that money to survive and buy his books.

Even though there are many laws that protect disabled people, but he was still being bullied and discriminated against. At work and by those around him.

One day when he was coming back from work, a small kid around the age of 10 stole his crutch.

He tried to get it back from him, but he could not, because he could not move. He fell to the ground and no one helped him.

He tried to get up but failed every time.

After about 10 minutes of lying on the floor, someone returned his crutch and helped him get up.

He lived his life like that. In reality, people didn’t do anything but move on. He was alone and in a dark place, but he had books and other stuff to help him survive.

He lived like that for two years.

When the world fell around him, he did not care about it.

There were laws that protected people like him, but he was being hurt anyway. So, he did not care if the government was destroyed.

However, one day when everyone was fighting against one another, he got caught in it. They were fighting outside his apartment.

One of the mobs broke into his house and beat the crap out of him. They broke everything he had and then put fire to his place.

Even though he was taken to hospital by some good samaritans, he did not appreciate their help. He just wanted his pathetic life to end. He has been hurt almost all his life and he will get hurt, so he thought that he will finally be over with it, but someone had saved him.

When he woke up in the hospital a few weeks later, he was all patched up.

He stayed there until everyone went to sleep and the lights were off.

He then forced his battered body to leave the bed and went to the rooftop.

He was about to jump out of there, but someone stopped him.

“Stop!” The woman said to him.

As Edward heard that, he looked back, he saw someone.

It was a faceless woman. She had long black hair that touched her waist. She was wearing a blue skirt and a white shirt.

“I know what you have been through, but I can help you.”

Edward did not say anything. He just listened.

“I can give you power. The real power to topple those who have stepped on you.”

Edward looked in front of him again.

Edward laughed.

He moved his lips, but words did not come out.

“As you want to kill yourself, why not give your body to me?” She paused. “I can make good use of it.”

Edward thought about it for a minute, but he agreed anyway. He did not have anything to lose.

The woman took him somewhere. It was another dimension.

“What powers do you want?”

Edward did not believe her, but he told her desired powers anyway.

“I am a big fan of Shazam/Captain Marvel, so can I get similar powers but based on Norse Gods instead. The wisdom of Mimir, Power of Odin, Thunder of Thor, Life of Yggdrasil, Precognition of Heimdall, and Speed of Hermod”

A few seconds later Eddie noticed that he was talking properly, which surprised him.

The woman nodded.

He does not remember what happened, but once he woke up, he was changed. He did not know how long it has been, but the woman knew that she was experimenting on him for days. However, only an hour had passed in our dimension.

He could see properly. He could walk on both feet. He could fly. He could lift heavier objects than anyone else he knew. He could move faster than a speeding bullet. He could control lightning.

Even though he was using his powers for the first time, he could use it perfectly.

The woman then talked to him.

“I gave you the powers you desired. I took an extra step to make sure you will be able to use your powers perfectly.”

“THANK YOU!” Edward shouted.

“So, now you have to do something for me.”

“What is it?”

The woman then told him what he has to do.

While she was talking to ‘Edward’, the real one was sealed inside his mind. He was sealed within a darkness once more.

She had created another presence within his mind that thinks it is ‘Edward’ but it is not. And it was also being controlled by the woman, who turned out to be Bur’goth the demon.

Even if he tried to not do her bidding, he would not be able to do so. The new ‘Edward’ did not have a free will. He was being controlled.

Edward then left that dimension and started attacking planets at random. He started attacking them, so he could kill and hurt as much as people as he could for his master.

The more he kills and destroy, the better it is Bur’goth.

Now, he calls himself Norse God. He was saved by Nazar, but he still has his powers and how to use them.

And he just found out that the person who gave him his powers was a demon.
