For most people changing their view on life with all the previously thought of supernatural stuff happening was in the least, very hard. Except for the individuals that wanted this to happen or Quast and Jerry since they had their powers much earlier than everyone else.
The day was about to end and it was now dusk. Albert was called for dinner a little bit earlier than on most days, in response he shouted from his room that he was coming, and he stood up from the chair where he spent almost the entire day scrolling power related stuff on the internet.
One visit to the bathroom later, and he entered the living room with newly washed hands.
There, his entire family was sitting with plates of food infront of them. Albert's family was composed of a father, a mother and a sister that was just 2 years younger than him.
Albert pulled a chair out and sat down opposite of his father, his mother was switching the channels on the flat screen TV behind Albert and his sister was looking at something on her phone.
Albert's mother stopped changing TV programs when she reached the most popular news channel and looked at the 'BREAKING NEWS'.
"The world's changing pretty rapidly isn't it?" the mother said. "I still can't even believe it."
After some pause the only son in the household began talking "People used to read fantasy stories for escapism, but it seems like that is no more." Albert said. "Then again, now that this has become our reality what will fantasy stories revolve around?"
"Don't worry, the people writing the stories will think of something." his father spoke before beginning to eat.
"True." the younger sister added.
That night Albert could barely fall asleep, he checked if he had school tomorrow, and it wasn't at all surprising when he saw that there was indeed none the next day too. He had his phone in hand and started watching videos until he got sleepy and started slowly drifting away to the land of dreams.
The next morning when he woke up, the phone wasn't in his grasps, but it was on the ground, playing a completely unrelated video to what he remembered watching last night. The battery was at 8% only because he had put his brightness to the lowest setting while in bed, very quiet audio could be heard from the phone as Albert decided to get up and begin his day.
It was also the day when the quests were bound to be refilled.
"No school today too, huh?" Jerry said as he checked his phone in the morning, because he forgot to do it last night.
It was 9:53AM when Quast woke up from the first in a while, refreshing rest. It seemed like he didn't have school today since his parents didn't wake him up at 7:00AM. He looked at the white painted ceiling for some time and then turned to his left and unplugged his phone that was on the night stand near him from its charger, and after checking some things he put it back on the stand.
Quast thought about the quests and realised that they would be at their fullest today, so he sent a message to Jerry over the system chat.
[Quast]
[Today]
Quast : [Quests will be refilled today.]
[Awesome.] Jerry responded. [Still can't believe we changed the world.]
[We were bound to change the world someday.] Quast sent the message.
[I know, it's just that I didn't imagine that we would change the world by giving people... fuckin' superpowers.] Jerry answered.
[Me neither.] Quast answered as he got up from bed and went to the kitchen for a cold glass of water.
Mana had now spread over to the closest continent, and many more people were bound to get abilties.
[Are we doing quests in the forest?] Quast asked.
[Yeah.] Jerry responded.
[Ok, meet you there at 4:00PM.] Quast shut off the chat and walked into the kitchen while wearing crocs on his feet, it was plenty warm for a morning as the cereal was taken out of the pantry and milk out of the fridge.
Even though Quast didn't need to go to school, his parents had to go to work, so he was alone at home, and for some reason this formed a cosy atmosphere as the sun's rays shone through the kitchen window.
With the cereal on his desk and while still wearing pajamas, Quast turned on his computer and decided to watch some videos.
The first video in his recommended was 'Abilities - and what they are' and the next one on the right was 'How to get an ability', Quast found this really funny and decided to click on the 'How to get an ability' one first.
After painfully losing a few minutes of his life to a video that wasn't actually a guide on how to get an ability, he just decided to watch something else.
That was when he noticed a live stream after refreshing the web page, it read 'LIVE Ability user in London', and some 60 thousand people were watching.
"Interesting." Quast grumbled and to satisfy his human curiosity he clicked on the stream.
There, on the busy streets of London, a street performer was captured on the cameras of people all around as he lifted things without touching them.
"So he has telekinesis." Quast looked at the chat going crazy with messages scrolling by so fast that they couldn't be read. "I still can't believe I was the main reason for this." he laid back in his chair as the stream continued.
And the most unexpected thing happened then and there, a scream could be heard, and the stream ended out of nowhere.
"What?" Quast jumped to the wildest speculations after that, but it was much more trivial than it was made out to be, the telekinesis user was lifting things into the air, and that included heavy things, and when one of the heavy items fell, it hit the streamer on the head and he was sent to the hospital.
After some more slacking around it was now 3:00PM and Quast decided to get to the forest a little bit earlier with his bike.
