The day one is able to complete this phrase, they will be reborn as an existence greater than god.'
These were the last words that superhuman Oberon left behind before disappearing from the world forever. Revered as one of the two strongest superhumans to have ever lived, Oberon left these words in hope that when he is gone another superhuman will be born to take his place.
Before Oberon left, Dion, the second superhuman to have achieved the realm beyond god, also stepped forth and left behind some words before disappearing.
'To be a soldier one must be able to hold a weapon.
To be a captain one must be able to fight.

To be a general one must be able to protect others.
To be a commander one must be able to kill all their enemies.

To be a god one must be able to kill the world.
And to become someone greater than a god one must be able to...
The day one is able to complete this phrase, they will be reborn as an existence greater than god.'
Countless experts have looked through these words and analyzed them thoroughly, but not a single one of them has been able to complete the phrase and become an existence greater than the gods. From primal spirits that are as old as the world itself to kings of ancient empires that cover hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
After thousands of years passed by every single top expert in the world have given up in the face of these words and decided to pursue their own path, however the legend still remains. The day that someone is able to complete either of the two sayings he will be reborn as an existence greater than a god.
In a world where strength reins supreme, everyone is desperately looking for ways to increase their power to the next level. Humanity's superhumans, individuals who have unlocked their superpower, are the only line of defense against the many dangers, but even they aren't able to freely roam the world.
Superhumans enjoy many benefits, and only by becoming a superhuman can you and your family be safe, as for those who are fated to be regular people they will never amount to anything great in their life. Ordinary people can only survive with the protection of the strong, as such they are often tasked with the most laborious and menial of jobs.
However, even among the superhumans there are clear distinctions based on their superpower and aptitude. People who unlock superpowers such as telekinesis, healing, and teleportation are often seen as those with great fortune. Anyone who unlocks any of these superpowers will have an aptitude of at least C-.
Aptitude is a measure of how quickly your superpower can grow, and even those with a great aptitude but a trash superpower can become strong with enough time. The same can be said about having a trash aptitude but a strong superpower, however these cases are very rare. A strong superpower will usually be followed by a strong aptitude.
Only by having a strong aptitude and a strong superpower will one be able to become one of the protectors of humanity, as for those with neither quality they can only be used as canon fodder for the rest. This may cruel, but it's necessary in order for humanity to survive.
Some will die and some will live, only when you're strong will you be able to decide which one you are.
