《Powerless Hero》Chapter 1: The Beginning of an Adventure
Advertisement
A teenager, around 14 years old stands about 5’ 9”. He has fair skin and looks a little scrawny, but obviously he’s very agile. He has soulless dark brown eyes yet he still had a little smile on his face. He had short jet black hair that is spiked near the front. He’s wearing a form fitting tuxedo. The school uniform. He’s looking up at the school building in front of him.
SDA hung over the top of the school. The SDA was the School Defense Agency. It’s purpose was simple. Train students to control their powers and use them to defend the people. In a world where every single person had a special ability it wasn’t uncommon for students to try and enroll in a school similar to this.
Being a hero and a well known hero had its benefits. For one the public could adore you and look up to you. But the more famous you were, then the more you got paid with every bust. That’s why most people wanted to become one. However, not in everyone’s case.
The boy walked into the lobby and went up to the desk. “Good Afternoon sir, what is your name?” The lady asked.
“Elias Roberts.” The boy replied smiling.
She handed him a small booklet. “In there is a map of the campus and a key card to get inside your room. You will be staying in the X Wing on the 6th floor in room 24. Once you get in there please fill out this questionnaire here and place it in the mailbox outside your room when you’re done.” She explained handing him a folded sheet of paper. “I believe your roommate has already arrived. You might be able to catch her before she begins touring the campus.”

“Her?” He was a little confused.
“Yes.”
“Ok.” He smiled as he began to walk towards his room. So they put girls with boys here. That will be interesting.
He eventually got to the room and decided he should knock just in case he walked in on something he didn’t want to.
A girl voice came from the other side of the door and it was quickly opened. She stood around 5’ 5”. She was skinny with fair skin. She had deep light blue eyes and her hair was light brown and went down to her waist. She was also in the school uniform for females. “Can I help you?”
“I was told this was my room and I’m assuming you’re my roommate.”
“Oh ok. Come on in then. I’m Rebekah Brooks. But you can just call me Becca.”
She spoke.
“Nice to meet you Becca. I’m Elias Roberts. Just call me Elias.” He walked in and looked around. It was a small room. There was a bunk bed against the wall next to a window. A TV with a stand was on the opposite wall. A bathroom took its place near the entrance. “So which bunk is mine? Assuming you chose one already.”
“I did not actually. I don’t really care so I’ll let you choose.”
“Ok. I guess I’ll choose the bottom one then.”
“Cool! Do you need help with anything?”
“Not that I know of yet. I’m just thankful that you’re being courteous. I was afraid that my roommate was gonna be a jerk but I’m glad that’s not the case.”
“Well I’m glad I could make your move in easier!” She smiled.
Elias made himself at home and began to fill out the questionnaire. It had some of the normal questions like “What’s your name?” and “who are your birth parents?” and medical or food allergies. However, it began to ask questions a little more specific to the school.

Finally, what is your ability?
Elias paused on this question. “Guess they would find out sooner or later.”
He wrote his answer and folded the sheet.
“Find out about what?” Becca asked intrigued.
“Huh? Oh nothing.”
“Oh ok. You said your last name is Roberts right?”
“Yea.”
“Wow no way! I heard your family line is full of super cool abilities and that you’re all super strong. I can’t wait to see you in action!” She became reality excited at the thought.
“Yea. You’d be surprised at what I can do. I can’t wait to see what you can do!”
“Me? Oh come on. Compared to a Roberts I’m nothing special.”
“You’d be surprised.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Elias stood up to answer it. “Good Afternoon Mr. Roberts and Ms. Brooks. Are you two ready for your tour?”
“I think so.” Elias looked at Becca for her confirmation and she nodded.
And thus their adventure began.

Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. On a once unremarkable day, a mysterious girl displayed powers beyond the capabilities of humans in front of many onlookers who knew only the ordinary: Powers of Ice creation. Riki, a normal young man in the midst of the crowd, was astonished to see such a spectacle, but this astonishment quickly transforms into dismay. From the appearance of calm, yet scorching blue flames, he realized the sole reason she was using powers in the first place was to only protect herself from two who have possession of powers akin to hers. And in failing to do so, the last thing Riki saw was the angst look in her eyes before she disappeared from his sight. That was the only one remaining memory he can recall. Thrusted into an organization filled with supernatural stargazers, Riki's only goal is to retake everything back: a journey to take back both his past and his future. Through this journey, it will mean to discover the underlying truths of the world. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
