In a quaint little home situated in the busy city of New York was an average-looking young man, quarrelling with an equally young woman.
"Don't call me unless it's for Rose and don't try to ruin my career" Shouted the young blond woman
"Don't worry, I have no plans to get involved in your life. From this day forward you are no longer my wife, nor are you my child's mother" Said the young brunette man with his fist clenched and his body shaking with pure anger
"I'm still Rose's mother" Shouted the woman
"You're no mother! Rose can barely look at you without crying, she shakes just hearing your voice. Your lucky you have some big shot entertainment company backing because if you didn't I would have sued your fake ass." Said the young man
The Young Lady walked out of the house and left. Leaving only a silhouette of memories that the young man could only describe as painfully confusing.
*Sigh* 'How did it come to this. It's for the best. Hopefully, I would never have to see or hear from that bitch again' Thought the young man as he takes a paracetamol in hopes of relieving his splitting headache he got from listening to his nonsense ex-wife.
The woman who just left was the breadwinner of the family, her name was Bethany Hunt now Bethany Jones, after the divorce, it changed back to her family name.
The young man who was left to pick up the pieces of his life and his daughter's life is Theodore Hunt. He as a good parent made sacrifices. He gave up working as they wanted at least one of them to be there with their child 24/7. He gave up drinking and smoking to help buy diapers. Despite being at home still tried to make money from home.
He learnt video editing in his free time and got paid editing for bunch of Wetube channels. He made one of the robotic voice channels that reads funny posts.
23 years old unemployed father with average scores and standard C.V. A typical dad bod with a very ordinary face and black crew cut hairstyle not counting his grey eyes.
Though he appears ordinary in actuality, he is far from it, he has a secret that he has kept since two years ago.
Two years ago on the night of his daughters birth, Theodore Hunt died. The cause of death was embarrassingly due to tripping over his untied shoelace and hitting his head at the hospital's receptions desk.
That night another man from a similar world took over the dead body of Theodore Hunt. David Johnson was the man that took control over the body. He's a simple white-collar worker that spent most of his free time on the internet or planning a way to make money quick. He abruptly died from an elevator malfunction.
There was nothing at all special about him yet by some heavenly luck, he had the luxury to live once again. He was excited at first but he later discovers that he had nothing to bring to this new life of his. Apart from some odd quirks and some new shows to watch it was just another life to live.
Although the world shares some similar things like the geography of the world and some historical events they have some very huge changes like the entertainment industry is not at all the same nor is the technology.
The entertainment industry isn't bad but sometimes he'll be watching something and feel like it could be better. This applies to other media as well.
Technology in this world is leaps ahead with most things running on green energy. Even computers and Mobile phones are mostly made up of holographic images and have an incredible picture quality.
Their step-in VR technology had already reached the level of being able to place the subconscious in a virtual world. After a lot of backlashes, the technology was outlawed after the mass deaths caused by an organisation. Now VR is done with the physical body.
And the biggest difference is the presence of powers being considered the norm. It is recorded that powers have existed since the stone age.
That does indeed mean powers were present in the world war and it also means that each country had its own historic "Captain America" legend.
Even with the presence of superpowers, there is a small number of people that dress up and keep the streets safe.
Although this world has superpowers it's normally just a meaningless power. 99.9% of the population will get a power that amounts to the same value as the power Warm Hands.
Which as the name entails is the ability to make your hands warm. Powers that have similar usefulness are called Minor-Powers.
The 0.1% would be the ones that hold powers that are considered a danger to society like telekinesis, super strength, super speed and so on.
These types of powers are rightfully titled Super-powers. Even with the title to differentiate none lethal and potentially lethal power holders only a few certain powers will cause many to be fearful and even be put on a watch list.
Theodore Hunt is one of these Super-Power holders with the ability to create 3 identical clones of himself. His cloning ability makes him able to share senses with every clone. If a clone dies they disappear in the form of light particles.
Clones do not have human personality but run on a set of instructions that are made by the original body. These instructions are very clear and simple like running, jumping and other simple stuff. This is due to his brain being two weak.
When you find out that you are under the Super-Power criteria you are then to attend a boot camp at 18 where you are taught to mix back into society but everyone knows it's military training. The military was keen to have a clone user, so they put him under surveillance before confirming that his personality had no faults.
With that confirmation, multiple high ups around the base poured in trying to pull in the new asset into thier regiments. His ability we're immediately seen as making him the best scout and off the grid telecommunications. Theodore learnt everything from Gun Handling, Wilderness Survival, Boxing and Emergency First Aid and so on.
He was the perfect soldier with talent like no other. So when it came to the end of one year of military service Theodore was to decide whether to stay or rejoin society. He decided to leave as he had his girlfriend waiting for him. Yes, the girl he left his promising career as a soldier was Bethany the very same woman that just walked out on him.
He doesn't regret it because what came out of the relationship was his beloved two-year-old daughter Rose Hunt. A short chubby baby girl that can already walk and say a few words.
This was quite normal even in his past life but he couldn't help thinking that she was a natural-born genius. Before having the Baby, Bethany was working as a signed artist for a big entertainment company called Heat Entertainment.
She at the time had a very timid figure, average talent and didn't have any real appeal. After giving birth Bethany's body changed with her hips widening and her breast growing to a prominent D cup. After losing the weight she was a curvy goddess that had a mature air surrounding her.
Her company immediately took up the opportunity and gave her a small role in a comedy show in return she had to give up her identity as a mother and married woman.
Theodore began to see that his wife was no longer helping in the money situation. All of it was going into her look to be a superstar. Theodore was forced to sell some of his family heirlooms. As time passed she was no longer coming home and just sending the bare minimum through a banking app.
"To think she gave us up so easily" Said Theodore sadly
He walked towards a bookshelf that was in the living room and pulled out two small cases. Inside were two platinum rings that had a diamond on top.
"I spent a fortune on you guys but in the end it meant nothing. Sigh, I need to sell these hopefully the money I get out of it will last a month or two. Now I have to figure out a way to make money from home. This would be easier if I had any memory of my past world. Why do I remember every detail yet whenever it came to any form of entertainment it's just a blur" Said Theodore
Walking up a set of stairs quietly he snuck up to a door that had stickers all over it. Slowly turning the knob he peeked into the darkroom.
Slowly pushing the door open walked over to the drawn curtains and opened them to allow the morning light in.
The light immediately attacked the little sleeping beauty that responded by pulling the blanket over her head.
Theodore walked to the baby cot and said "Rise and shine, Rose"
The figure bundled up in a blanket began to twist in discomfort.
A muffled voice sounded from the blanket "~hmmm NO!, Night Night!!~"
Theodore grinned and reached in and tugged the blanket down showing his tired daughter "Come on, wake up"
Red blush on her chubby cheeks with her pearl white completion and her blond hair in disarray. Strawberry Blonde like her mother with unique grey eyes that came from Theodore.
Adding to all of this was her grumpy little mouth that stuck out showing an angry pout.
Rose responded with a cute little nose scrunch and a disapproving head shake. With her eyes squinting she replied "I want Night Night"
"That's too bad because It looks like a great day to play in the park but if you want night, night I guess we can't," Said Theodore exaggeratedly
Her eyes opened up in anticipation as she kicked her blanket off and stood up quickly with her hands in the air, she spoke "Up"
"Haha," Theodore chuckled and scooped her up with his hands under her armpits.
"Phew, getting heavier by the day you are" Said Theodore as he tickled her oversized tummy
"Hehehe, no Heehehe daddy stop it," Said Rose while wiggling in his arms
"Sniff, sniff, good job, no mess today," Said Theodore as he did his routine check on her nappy/diaper
"Yep no mess" Said Rose with a happy smile
Carrying her to the bathroom he helped her brush her baby teeth and washed her face. They then sat down at the table to have breakfast.
Theodore was having a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. Rose was oatmeal that had honey and dried fruits with her sippy cup.
"Finish" Said Rose as she pushed the bowl forward and wiped her mouth with her bib.
"Did it taste good" Asked Theodore
"Really, tasty~," Said Rose happily while nodding rapidly
"That's good" Said Theodore while patting her head
"Hehe watch, please" Rose pleaded
"Okay remember don't sit so close to the T.V," Said Theodore as he got her off the high chair.
Then went to the living room with Rose following closely behind. Rose sat down on the couch as Theodore put her cartoons on.
"Stay far away from the T.V okay" Said, Theodore
Rose looked back and said while nodding "Far away"
Theodore sat next to her and pulled out a metal rod the size of a pen. Pulling the side a blue holographic image sprung up from the space in between.
He found a few answers like the so-called online shop, a writer, artist and an online influencer.
Online shopping needs investment and money, he has none of those things. A writer needs the creative ability to create a story worth reading, no use his imagination has been
This leaves online influencers it's has a lot more freedom and could be easily done from home.
Doing some basic research he found a popular streaming platform that went by the name of WideView. Then he found that they generously allow newcomers to earn a share from advertisements for the first week no matter the number of views.
After a week streamers need to of shown their ability or continue to build their platform before being eligible for a partnership which opens up more outlets to make revenue.
He quickly went through the sign up before coming to halt as he was asked to make a name.
'Hmmm, what should I go with. It has to be memorable, and unique yet still be easy to spell. . . name? name?. . . ' he thought long and hard before he noticed that his name was being filled in one letter after another.
S_I_N_G_L_E_ _D_A_D
(Note: The name is up for suggestions. I want it to related to dad)
"Wait, no what the F *Cough*," Said Theodore in a startled tone before looking towards Rose.
Thankfully he stopped himself.
"But how? Is this a joke? Am I getting pranked by a hacker" Said Theodore loudly
"Shush! me watching" Said Rose with a grumpy pout and a finger over her lip
"Sorry, princess," Said Theodore apologetically
"It's okay" Said Rose with a pure smile before looking back at the T.V
'Calm down, I can just go back' Thought Theodore
• • • • • PROFILE CREATED • • • • •
"NO!" Said Theodore while spamming the back button to no avail
'Ah shit. My name is an introduction to a dating site. . . . It's not too bad I mean it's unique and memorable. . . ' Thought, Theodore while still spamming the back button
While in his moment of confusion and anger with himself and to whoever had messed with him a deafening noise sounded.
*DING*
At the sound of the noise, he instinctively blinked in shock. When he opened his eyes again he saw something floating in the corner of his vision.
"Huh??!!!" Said Theodore in a confused and startled tone
